Reply to comment by LivingDegree in If a human being is bleeding internally say in their mouth or stomach would they still have a risk of anemia? by Robbeee
To add to this we can tell on lab tests if it's chronic or acute anemia through red cell morphology. A slower chronic condition genetally results in red cells smaller than average size with less hemoglobin (microscopic hypochromic) where in an acute bleed situation the cells are normal sized and filled properly, just not enough of them. We can also tell how hard the bone marrow is working to replace cells by the presence and number of nucleated or immature rbcs.
I know you didn't ask, but I don't get to nerd out about this stuff often and I find it fascinating.

I learned about this while reading "Things Fall Apart" in the 10th grade. Guess I should count myself lucky that I was allowed to read that book since it's probably banned from classrooms by my state at this point...

Because salt water has a LOT of salt, and we need more water than food. Salt water is more concentrated than what our kidneys can produce so if the only liquid we're drinking has more electrolytes than we can clear shit gets out of balance fast.

Sources of sugar in the ketchup and salt in the seasoning cubes are both pretty helpful in survival situations. Certainly better than no food at all.

I like actual strawberries with vanilla ice cream, but that's as far as I'll go. My husband likes strawberry shakes and I tried one a few years ago to see how I felt about it. Still no thank you.

Strawberry ice cream for me. It's been over 35 years and I still don't like it.

Reply to comment by Jd20001 in I caught some jeep dudes praying to their engine god by grisigt
We had a early 90s with a straight 6 that made it over 400k and only died because we forgot to check the antifreeze mix before it sat for a winter and the block cracked. Then we had a mid 00s that had consrant electrical gremilns. Hated that second jeep. I'd say a little prayer each time I turned the key

Reply to comment by ssshield in TIL that Kurt Cobain got the inspiration to make Nirvana's famous song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" when Kathleen Hanna, the singer of the band "Bikini Kill" wrote "Kurt smells like teen spirit" on a board. Teen Spirit was a woman's deodorant and he didn't knew it until he was done with the song. by WonderfulWanderer777
I remember it being heavily advertised in magazines that appealed to teen girls. One magazine even ran a contest (can't remember the specifics of the contest) and the prize was Nirvana playing at your school.
