ok, FINALLY! when i started this thread, it was because i knew that every once in a while a really special one comes along, and i wanted to make sure there was somewhere to put it. but at the time it was like dang, i can't really find any outstanding ones at the moment...oh well.

but today, i think i finally found what i've been searching for so long

what are they trying to tell me? how could this possibly result in money for them, if i stop wearing underwear?

you have to buy a naked body to sleep in, that's how they get ya

Clay, Wednesday, 24 November 2021 03:03 (two years ago) link

perhaps the point of the ads is to convince you to *continue* wearing underwear

frogbs, Wednesday, 24 November 2021 03:07 (two years ago) link

this is clearly an organized campaign by Big Underpants Gnome

a swift, a shrike, a kite, a (cat), Wednesday, 24 November 2021 03:08 (two years ago) link

but all i see, if i stop wearing underwear, is an attractive woman and some really soft underwear (not mine, but they look very nice)

just staying (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 24 November 2021 03:11 (two years ago) link

that doesn't seem so bad. so, i guess i'll stop wearing underwear then

and what about the body
dear god

just staying (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 24 November 2021 04:09 (two years ago) link

maybe i'm reading them wrong. they say

WHEN YOU START
SLEEPING NAKED,
THIS IS WHAT WILL
HAPPEN

and

WHAT HAPPENS TO
YOUR BODY WHEN
YOU STOP WEARING
UNDERWEAR

maybe those are actually questions, put out there without question marks, by someone out there searching for an answer? that would make more sense, as far as what would be the point of the ad, then they currently stand

just staying (Karl Malone), Wednesday, 24 November 2021 04:12 (two years ago) link

it's like, when i start sleeping naked, maybe this will happen? (an attractive woman rests peacefully by my side) possibly?

and man, though, what DOES happen to your body when you stop wearing underwear, anyway?

The article contained several odd household tricks. One claimed it would be good to put hairbrushes in the dishwasher. Another advised about pouring various liquids down the drain, which we covered in two previous fact checks about dish soap and salt. We also found a questionable oven cleaning tip, plus purported bread uses, which we also covered in the past.

On page 41, which was the last page, a toilet paper roll trick was finally revealed. However, it had nothing to do with placing it under a toilet seat at night. It simply advised to attach a cardboard roll to a vacuum cleaner hose to reach crevices.

The 41-page article never mentioned a word about why to always place a toilet paper roll under a toilet seat at night. It was nothing but clickbait. We clicked “next page” 40 times so you don’t have to.

We looked to home improvement websites such as BobVila.com to see if there was perhaps a legitimate purpose for the toilet paper roll or a red cup going under the seat. However, we found no such tips, tricks, or “life hacks.”

After this story was published, a reader sent in a tip that said an empty toilet paper roll propping up the seat might be a helpful warning to the next person to enter the stall that there’s no toilet paper.

xpost Good choices. If you relinquish your vagina you don't have to worry about what to feed it.

as far as dried boogers go, if you're looking to "fix" them then you're also "missing out on a burgeoning 'can't miss' market of secondary booger sales"
