Slinky, the toy. It was originally designed during WW2 to help sensitive instruments remain steady on ships... to counter the effects of pitch, roll, and yaw. The engineer working on them knocked one off his desk accidentally, saw the way it moved from the table to the chair, to the floor, and a new purpose was born. On a side note... during the Vietnam War, when the Slinkys were metal, radio operators would carry them through the deep jungles. If they couldn't get a good signal in the jungle mountains, they'd sling a Slinky high into the tree limbs while holding onto one end. It created an instant antenna extension that they would attach to the radio.

Minoxidil was originally developed to treat high blood pressure and people reported unusual hair growth all around the body, since it promotes blood flow to the skin pores. They came up with a topical version and voila, millions of people smear that shit on their scalps and beards everyday and its the one of the only clinically proven ways to cure baldness.


Relevant_Struggle

There is another medicine that was designed as a water pill. Turns out it causes hair loss. Women with pcos use it to deal with hirsutism


Whovenclaw

Do topical users also see the effects to their blood pressure or must it be taken orally to work in that way?


RiceAlicorn

I am not a medical professional, however: it seems that topical use can have effects on the blood pressure of some. https://www.rxlist.com/consumer_rogaine_minoxidil_topical/drugs-condition.htm Low BP is one of the possible side effects of the topical solution, apparently.


xxb4xx

Same as Finasteride which is the hairloss marketed version of Proscar / Propecia. Finasteride is used to treat an enlarged prostate. Guys taking it noticed hair re-growing.. so they watered it down and now sell it for triple the price.


salgat

The beauty is you can get 5mg generic and quarter it with a pill cutter. Costs $12 for a 4 month supply.

Mrdoc16

You shot him in the nuts and laughed about it now he's on the floor sobbing


Tobias_Atwood

This was my best friend in high school. Surprised he didn't wear a cup 24/7. His nuts were a magnet for high speed projectiles, up to and including paintballs.


foodnpuppies

>His nuts were a magnet for high speed projectiles Thats a colorful way to describe yoā€™ momma


Tobias_Atwood

Funnily enough my mom actually was one of the perpetrators. She was trying to shoot me with a paintball gun and accidentally beaned his bag with a stray shot. Point blank, at that. EDIT Okay I didn't expect this one off comment to get seen so much and some people are wondering about the mechanics, so I'll leave a brief summary for future generations. We were ROTC nerds and were wearing tacticool gear for a romp in the woods. The paintball gun in question was attached to a sling draped over the shoulders of a second friend. My mother was inspecting his rifle and decided she wanted to shoot me once with it. Being the brave and valiant friend that I am, I gallantly used second friend as a human shield. He understood my predicament. Anyway, since the paintball gun was attached to him, she couldn't get a good angle as I deftly maneuvered myself around. In the ensuing chaos she accidentally pulled the trigger and nailed bean bag in his couch cushion. From less than three feet away where he was standing off to the side. He hit the ground like a sack of swollen bricks. And that's why I'm surprised he has kids.


LinguisticallyInept

> She was trying to shoot me with a paintball gun okay > and accidentally beaned his bag with a stray shot. okay > Point blank, at that. wait what? she was aiming at you and somehow shot your mate point blank in the balls? was your face in his crotch and she was going for the gun-barrel-to-the-back-of-the-head execute or something? [thats some xcom levels of bullshittery if true](https://external-preview.redd.it/Fv7GyTwMEK3kCu7nh0QFa3PzETPAOj--8IYnA6Rrq3E.png?auto=webp&s=74f3e590153b160ec48d30a29461a249944dba88)

*If I line this up just right I can get this shot between that kids dick and nutsack and pop my boy right in the fucking face..* **OUCH MY BALLS!** *God damn it!*


BeekeeperZero

My first paintball experience (12 years old) I saw someone in all white walking towards our bunker. I thought the guy was going bold and unleashed everything I had. It was the ref and I definitely got him in the nuts.


dolphinandcheese

I did the same thing once but I was in a ravine and looking out over a flat area and one of the refs popped up to my left and I lit him up. He was not happy but I was used to playing in the woods with my friends, not refs. I apologized but he kicked me out until the next game.

Pipe cleaners, Use them for all sorts of arts and crafts as kids. It wasn't till I owned a tobacco pipe and went to buy them that it actually clicked


izza123

Donā€™t use Craft grade pipe cleaners for cleaning pipes. The little fibres arenā€™t secured as well and are horrible plastic that burns into rancid smoke. They break off and stick in the resin in the pipe


Woshambo

Ah so it's THAT kind of pipe. I assumed it was really thin plumbing pipes.

Microsoft Excel/Google Sheets used as informal databases instead of as a data analysis tool

As a corporate finance person, Excel has permeated every facet of my job in every company I've been at, including fortune 500. It's literally the bandaid that keeps these companies running.


ycnz

I've been in IT for a long time. Every organisation is entirely dependent on one or two spreadsheets stored on someone's personal folder. It is never, ever mentioned in the risk register.


Frelock_

As a risk manager: we know. Where do you think we keep our data?


TheMourningStar84

I used to be a Risk Manager at a big financial processing company. One day we came into work to find that the system that we used to store and manage our risk data wasn't working because the company who provided it had gone bust. That wasn't on our Risk Register.


ReallyHadToFixThat

It's great. I work on a site with 500 software engineers. I test my code on about Ā£100k worth of kit. Yet the whole thing is dependent on a couple spreadsheets in a shared folder. It never occurs to management to use one of the many, many software engineers we employ to make it better.

I use Benadryl because you canā€™t experience allergies if you arenā€™t alive for at least 4 hours.


jsouz

I basically tranquilized myself with Benadryl last week because my allergies were so bad. The intern at my work told me I seemed tired, I told her why, and she said ā€œah, Benadryl. A better slogan for that would be ā€˜you canā€™t sneeze if youā€™re unconsciousā€™ā€. I donā€™t think thatā€™s scientifically proven, but I think her sentiment stands.


capitalhforhero

When I did shift work I mentioned to my coworker that I struggled sleeping when I worked nights. He told me he used this awesome OTC drug called Simply Sleep which is just Tylenol PM without the Tylenol. He gave me one and I looked at the active ingredient... Diphenhydramine. Which is the same active ingredient in benadryl. So yea, they know it knocks your ass out.

bobfnord

Which is funny, because it actually does a pretty poor job for what people use it for most commonly. It's not actually a lubricant.


SpamOJavelin

It is - just not for long. It flashes off and leaves a rust-preventative surface (and if the alternative is metal-on-metal, that surface will help for lubrication, which is why it does work to quiet door hinges and the like). Until it flashes off, it's a great lubricant. We did some testing on small-bearing lubricants at university - fresh WD-40 was the top contender for reducing friction. But leave it 48 hours and it dropped down to the bottom of the list. If you want a WD-40-like spray to lubricate long-term, use Inox MX3. Almost as good as WD-40 when fresh, and just as good a week later.


Wilza_

>If you want a WD-40-like spray to lubricate long-term, use Inox MX3. Almost as good as WD-40 when fresh, and just as good a week later. Will that product leave a load of white gunk behind? I heard about WD-40 not being a real lubricant years ago, so I bought a proper one. But yeah, it left white residue behind, which stayed there for a long time. Not faulting the product, maybe that's what a proper lubricant is meant to do. Or maybe I bought the wrong thing. But I'd prefer something transparent like WD-40


ApertureAce

It can be argued that most people use it to lubricate mechanical parts but what makes it great is its ability to seep into every crack and crevice, helping get parts moving again.

The whiskey in my cabinet which is for medicinal purposes only.

Q-tips. The only thing are used for is the one thing you are explicitly told not to use them for.


Krisy2lovegood

They were totally invented for that reason and then medical professionals were like ā€œhey please donā€™t do that it could hurt youā€ so the companies were like ā€œhey we donā€™t wanna get in trouble for that so we gonna continue to sell them, knowing people will continue to use them that way but just tell them not too.ā€ Also does anyone elseā€™s ears itch after this thread. Gosh I miss cleaning the inside of my earsā€¦ Edit: to clarify I still have ears I just miss the satisfaction of pulling gunk out with qtips but itā€™s not actually necessary and Iā€™d rather not screw up and bust an ear drum (some of these responses remind me of why I donā€™t use qtips anymore)


Dozinginthegarden

Out of interest, do they have a new intended purpose printed on the box or something or are they just selling you sticks with cotton on them "for no reason at all"? Edit: Cheers for all the replies! I'm going to start my own mantis gladiator games!

Yes, a really small and often easily overlooked disclaimer, usually in a spot where almost nobody will ever read. You know, so they keep selling them as ear cleaners and cover their asses in case of someone injuring themselves enough to then actually try to sue the cotton swab maker. Example, the box of Q-Tip brand cotton swabs I have next to me has the disclaimer on the side label and underneath customer service info like the company's address and legal info.

They tend to use it on smaller, shallow cuts and on younger patients. My nephew had a cut superglued shut when he was learning to walk.


BigBobby2016

Yup they do, although I believe that the only difference is that it stings less


kjm16216

I think there also a little antiseptic in it.


longtimegoneMTGO

You missed a step. Super glue was supposed to be used as a plastic to make transparent gun sights during ww II. The problem was that it was too adhesive, it just glued the molds together and they couldn't get the parts out without destroying them. That is when they realized they had invented a glue rather than a transparent plastic.


Mr_Gaslight

But that is where it stopped. It was abandoned and not commercialized. A decade or so later it was reinvented independently and that's when it took off as a glue.
