oh wow! hey if you take pills check this out. new medicine taking meta just dropped.
according to these models, out of the 4 tested postures, the best position to digest pills is laying on your right side. standing upright has a similar time to laying in your back at twice as much as laying on the right side, and laying on the left side is the slowest by far.
laying on right side: pill dissolves in around 10 minutes.
standing: pill dissolves in 23 minutes. laying on the back has a similar time.
laying on left side: pill dissolves in up to 100 minutes.

definitely worth a lot more research.
if you want your medicine to kick in fast, try laying on your right side! if you want your medicine to kick in slower, try laying on your left side.
So many posts blithely declaring that they have 'defined' something definitively.
That is not how language works. ESPECIALLY if you were prompted to say so by someone using a term a different way.
See also: etymology =/= definition.
'Decimation' can just mean obliteration. It's been 2,000 years, meaning changes. Context matters. People can use the same word different ways and successfully communicate. Chill.
My feeling is that predictive text has got a lot more annoying and a lot less helpful over the last year. It finally got too much the other day and I turned it off. I wonder if others are doing the same.
I would class myself as an older fanfic reader and I was confused about the dofference at the time. I heard BOTH that it was a difference in explicitness AND that it might be a difference of genders. Ultimately, no one whose fanfiction i read used it, so I was never sure.
Reblog for larger sample size. Feel free to indicate in the comments your generation, approximate region of residence, your length of experience with fan fiction, or when/where you first encountered these terms.
