I learned that soap is a salt and that acids like vinegar break it down and kind of rerelease the fatty acid that made it up.
It was very gross.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Seems like a fun experiment. Especially with a kid who likes gross stuff
Putting my T-shirts in the drawer. Historically, I did this via flat stacking, like pizza boxes. It's much easier to find a specific T-shirt if you arrange them in the drawer like hanging file folders. Also allows you to pack in more of them.

I learned that, even though automotive fluid containers are #2: HPDE, they are not accepted by many recycling centers--including my local streetside pickup--because they're not BPA free.
Oops.
I've been apparently wearing my belt upside down because I put the latch on the right and the cover on the left. Only noticed the other day that the logo on the cover was upside down. I'm not flipping it the other way tho. It's too awkward to do and undo that way.

Not me, but I just discovered that my spouse is inept at closing doors
Edit: I was angry when I commented this. Also my deleted comment was a result of Comment Mitosis™ Feel free to downdoot it just because. I did.
