Make it end

I always go for tylenol complete, the nighttime ones knocks you out at night, and the daytime ones make you feel like a god who can do anything. This is not a paid advertisement but if you’re listening Tylenol, then it could be!

Am I not supposed to continue smashing cones? Because cold, flu, covid... has always been improved in me with an enormous intake of THC.

I make those myself.

Every single other voice assistant should absolutely say that in response to hearing “Hey, Siri.”

I am so confused by this comment, and further confused as to all the upvotes.

There is clearly an inside joke that I'm not getting, or people are really hot for gingers.

Ginger tea is actually amazing when you have a cold. Especially if you make it with fresh ginger. Burns away all your snot and some of the pain in my experience.

I really feel this comic.

I was sick beginning of December, mostly recovered after a week and I went back to work, but my throat still hurts when speaking - had 3 weeks off around Christmas, rested my voice, visited doctor for meds, but it’s still not gone. Doctors are still not sure what it is, but similar thing happens a lot with covid, so maybe it’s that.

Such a small thing, but lasts so long and doesn’t improve, I have zero control over it, and it makes me hopeless. I feel like it broke me, a successful manager, a married man in my 30s, I was crying yesterday when walking my dog.

Not sure how long can I go on working this way - I could of course go on sick leave, but doing that just after returning from a long holiday and kicking off a new project, will not make me too popular, and would guarantee that I miss the promotion I’m working for.

Guilty as charged, I'd for sure eat out a Ginger right now if there's a chance she'll break my fever, hell even if she can't!

I've found a chemically induced coma has fixed up my (light viral) illnesses right quick and painlessly!

Hmm would love if this was true, but checking on Google scholar it looks like most studies say using this as a treatment for the cold doesn't conclusively show any link to a shorter duration of sickness, etc.

Stuff like this is why everybody who says shit like "it's just a cold, move on" is a cunt.

Back before COVID every cold I had lasted a day or two. Now my immune system is fucked up.

Placebos are so effective, we've just started selling them explicitly (Zeebo). If it's cheap and doesn't have any negative effects, I don't care if it's a placebo or more; it works.

Stop making too many of those when you are sick. It takes too many nutrients, which would otherwise go into replenishing WBCs.

Most of those ppl are too smoothbrain to realise the difference between a symptom and a disease.

Also, most of those are also the ones coming to work with a cold and cough and spreading it to others by coughing on shared-use equipment like keyboards and sometimes even coughing right at other's faces.

They won't, because adding more wake words makes it much more likely to be triggered accidentally.

It's wild if it is purely placebo, because I've given so many anecdotal cure supplements an honest shot throughout my life, and have ruled every last one of them out as either ineffective, or total horseshit. But the results I experience (as well as my wife, who is officially onboard with Echenacia now) are astounding.
