Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Return of nicotine addiction of the youth.
Latest trend besides the god damned vapes: nicotine-infused toothpicks the kids in 7th grade are casually twirling around their mouths during class.
I remember a couple grades older than me in high school (I'm mid 30s) were getting in trouble for having cinnamon soaked tooth picks on them. What a world of change we live in.
I was just thinking about those cinnamon tooth picks reading their comment! I haven't seen those since I left Miami. God I miss those things! I fell asleep on the tri rail with one in my mouth and woke up looking like I had the most horrific case of ringworm on my cheek.
FWIW it's ridiculously easy and cheap to make your own. Just be sure to the dilute the Cinnamon oil before soaking or you will burn your tongue.
And there are dozens of other oils that work really well, including mixing! Orange cinnamon is great
Fucking brilliant! Maybe I'll bring the light to these godless local heathens who have never had one.
Funny enough, those have actually been around for a while, I remember seeing them as a "smoking alternative" sometime around 2013? But pretty sure they were around before that. Also aren't zyns or whatever still popular? Why not just stick with that?
Nicotine was bound to stick around though. It's basically a "legal" mini-high and doesn't have all the smell and cancer stigma (yet, pretty sure those things still ruin your lungs) that traditional burning cigs do. That industry wasn't gonna fold without a fight.
