These Things Are More Unhealthy Than Most People Realize

How much time do most of us really have to spend researching on what’s good for them and what’s bad? What’s healthy and what’s unhealthy?

Sometimes, it can feel like a full-time job reading reviews and checking out other peoples’ opinions about that kind of stuff.

And there are a lot of things out there that people THINK are healthy, but they really aren’t.

What’s a lot unhealthier than people think?

AskReddit users weighed in with their opinions.

1. Not so good.

“I once saw a chart showing the disparity of what average people thought about the healthiness of an item versus a group of nutritionists.

The biggest disparity by far was granola bars. Which made sense…”

2. Too much sitting.

“Sitting. The desk job kind.

Just a couple of years on a slightly off center cushion on an office chair can give you chronic lower back pain.

It’s a b*tch going through the process of strengthening your lower back again.”

3. Bring on the sugar!

“Fruit juice.

Big Sugar: Let me introduce myself.”

4. So bad.

“Anxiety: the effects are physical as well.

As someone who comes from a family prone to high blood pressure anyway, it is a constant concern.

I thought my anxiety wasn’t that bad until I was asked to give an impromptu lecture/explanation in college to the students. My hands, voice and entire lower body (from the toes to the hips) started shaking.

Though the professor commended my efforts, I needed some time to relax back to normal.”

5. Just do it the other way.

“Non-fat packaged foods.

You’d be much better off eating the fat that was already there rather than eating all the sugar that replaced it.”

6. Lay off.

“Starbucks….some Frappuccinos have 70 GRAMS of sugar.”

7. Get that sleep!

“Staying up late.

People tend to downplay the risks of not getting enough sleep because they’re not immediately evident.”

8. Let it all out.

“Bottling up your emotions because you’re afraid to open up.

I suffer from this.

I opened up sometimes but it bored people or worse, angered them to see me reach out in the worst stages of depression. I’ve been broken up with, ghosted and bullied because of it. I’m now terrified to speak up.

Because of this my condition has worsened and I live terrified every day that one slip is all that it will take for me to lose the few people I have left in my life.

Fun stuff.”

9. False advertising?

“Fat free food.

Usually has a bunch of added sugar instead.”

10. THIS RIGHT HERE.

“Mommy wine culture.

Stop drinking away your problems and glorifying alcoholism.”

11. Too much sugar.

“I feel like people don’t know how important their diet actually is.

Simply reducing sugar a little seems to be a huge deal for some people and I think that really shows how unhealthy sugar actually is if you’re having withdrawal symptoms like tiredness and headaches from it.

They’ll just treat it like a normal thing to give kids loads of sugar at all times, give them fruit for once. And sugar alternatives and sweets ‘without sugar’ are even worse as the alternative works as a d*mn laxative.

People should know what’s in their food.”

12. Neither is good.

“Being underweight or overweight.

At a certain point you are too skinny or too overweight and you need to talk to a doctor and dietician.

Some natural variation from person to person is normal, but you shouldn’t be super skinny or super overweight.

It will never be healthy.”

13. Not great for you.

“Weed.

Smoking any plant matter releases carcinogens and messes with your lungs.

Also has been linked to decreased brain development in frequent users under 25.”

14. You need a break.

“Looking at screens for hours on end. Especially harmful when its only a few inches from your face.

Put it down and go to bed.”

15. It’s not good for you.

“Obsession.

Whether it’s food, drugs, or a huge crush, obsessions are really dangerous and can warp your mind so you don’t correctly value real-life stuff.”

What do you think is much more unhealthy than people realize?

People Share Reasons (Besides the Obvious) About Why They Like Wearing Masks in Public

We’re all dealing with some serious sh*t at this moment in history.

None of us expected this to happen at the beginning of 2020, but here we are and we have to deal with it in the best way possible.

And that means WEARING A MASK when you go out in public.

Yes, it’s hot. Yes, it can fog up your glasses. Oh well! It’s not a big deal and you’re helping out yourself, your family, and complete strangers who you come into contact with.

But what are some OTHER reasons that people like wearing masks in public?

Here’s what AskReddit users had to say.

1. Not as awkward.

“It makes negotiations and awkward conversations at work so much easier!

They can’t read my face nearly as well, so I feel way more confident.

I love it.”

2. What am I thinking?

“I never realized how much emotions I unintentionally show when not wearing a mask.

Now people can’t tell what I’m thinking.”

3. Time to shine.

“I’m in the military and have to shave.

I also have to wear a mask at all times on base.

So I’m growing a goatee.

Suck it, big brother.”

4. From a dentist.

“A few of my patients said it covers their bad teeth and they feel like they can laugh and smile more with other people without feeling self-conscious.”

5. Covering it up.

“My teeth suck.

This whole mask thing has been just fantastic.”

6. Fighting allergies.

“I have terrible seasonal allergies and can’t breathe through my nose very well because I’m constantly congested.

Wearing a mask makes me feel less embarrassed to breathe through my mouth!”

7. I love this!

“My sister bought me a black mask that reads, “Spaceballs the Facemask.”

When I wear it out in public people look at me and smile. Some laugh and tell me how much they love my face mask.

It makes people happy, and considering the depressing times we need more happiness in the world.”

8. Problem: solved!

“Out in public, I often think of funny things, which causes me to smile slightly.

Before masks, if I ever made accidental eye contact with anyone during those times, they thought I was smiling at them and would smile back, or approach and try to socialize with me.

Well, I’m an extreme introvert and I hate that. Now, with masks, no one can see me smile–so that problem is solved! I’m actually going out more because of it.”

9. Anxiety.

“I have bad social anxiety and don’t speak much in public.

I’m also an opinionated b*tch.

Now I can make comments I’m public without being like “everyone heard that, they know it was you, they want you to shut up”.”

10. Just like Maverick.

“I get to pretend like I’m a fighter pilot when I pull it off and let it dangle once I get back to the safety of my car.”

11. Get to work.

“I like hiding my face so I can focus on my work easier…

If that makes sense…

I started wearing a work hat with the mask and I really like it.”

12. A real game-changer.

“Not having to smell people’s coffee breath, and people not having to smell my cigarette breath.”

13. Have a good time with it.

“I can make funny faces, talk to myself and sing and if no one is around, no one will notice.

I just love it.”

14. No one can see…

“I talk a lot in my head and sometimes accidentally mouth what I’m saying so people probably think I’m crazy but with the masks no one knows.”

15. You do you.

“I don’t have to pretend to smile at people at work.

I can get away with my usual expression of angry boredom.”

16. Mindin’ my own business.

“I don’t have to overthink whether the random people I see are acquaintances and whether i should say hi or not…

Or really i dont have to say hi to anyone whether im sure i know them or not…

I can just mind my own business and not care about anyone…”

How about you?

What are some other reasons that you don’t mind wearing a mask when you head out in public?

People Share Other Reasons Why They Like Wearing Masks in Public

We know why we should be wearing masks right now when we head outside and we’re around other people.

The scientific evidence shows that the best way to prevent the spread of this virus that is ravaging our country right now is to wear a mask.

No problem, I say! It’s not my favorite thing in the world to do, but we all need to make small sacrifices if we want to get back to normal.

But are there OTHER reasons why people like to wear masks when they go out in public…?

Let’s see what folks on AskReddit had to say.

1. Hey, that’s good!

“I had a dentist appointment before going to the grocery store the other day, no one could tell if I was drooling from being numb.

Alternatively, if I’m listening to music no one can tell if I’m mouthing the lyrics to all the good bits.”

2. Took care of that.

“My nose was running the other day it was incredibly embarrassing but I remembered nobody could tell because I was at a CVS with a mask on.”

3. Pretty funny.

“I used to smile at people when I passed them in public and it would make them smile back at me.

Now I still smile because I forget that a mask is covering my face. When I walk away I always remember and think that the person thinks I was staring at them.

I think that’s pretty funny so I enjoy wearing a mask out in public.”

4. Just look at my eyes.

“My mouth has a natural frown. It doesn’t reflect my mood, but I got “What’s the matter?” comments a lot.

Now I’m old, and it just looks cranky.

Look at my eyes, it’s all good.”

5. Self-conscious.

“I’m really uncomfortable and self-conscious of my face, especially the lower half.

Honestly I wouldn’t mind wearing a mask in public all the time, even if/when this passes.”

6. There you go!

“It covers my adult acne.

And wearing a mask has actually helped mine go away a bit because I touch my face less and don’t wear any makeup where the mask covers.

I only have one pimple on my jawline right now (for the first time in YEARS) and no one can even see it because it’s covered.

I may honestly continue wearing a mask long after all this is over.”

7. Mutter as much as you want!

“I can freely mutter to myself without fear of people seeing my lips moving…”

8. Likes what it does for him.

“Makes me look more masculine, it hides my face which in insecure about and makes my jaw seem more sharp and pronounced.

It also brings more attention to my eyes which I’m more confident about.”

9. And, there’s this.

“I like to pretend I’m an off duty ninja.”

10. Time to hide.

“I’m an introvert, so it’s like getting to hide in plain sight.”

11. No more smiles.

“I love not having to smile.

I can finally wear and conceal my neutral I-hate-everyone-and-everything face.

It’s great.”

12. Really comes in handy.

“I work in retail and I love not having to fake smile at customers.”

13. Enough with the small talk.

“People are less likely to recognize me at the Trader Joe’s my sister worked at, and I don’t have to partake in small talk I’m not interested in.

I love Trader Joe’s, just hate being distracted from my mission.”

14. I know that person!

“It’s so much easier to tell if I’ve already talked to someone. It normally takes me a while to “memorize” a persons face but now I can just be like…

“Oh that person has a green mask with polka dots. I saw them yesterday.”

They’re also really cute and I was actually thinking of buying one before all this started.”

15. Fashionable.

“I get to wear and show off the cute, hand-made masks my wife has learned how to sew! I’ve got a fox one and a bee one so far.

I absolutely love them and her.”

How about you?

People Share What They Would’ve Done If the Pandemic Hadn’t Happened

I don’t think anyone could have predicted the insanity and sadness that the whole world has gone through since March.

And those of us here in the U.S. are still in the thick of it, for reasons that we’re not even going to get into here and now…

But it’s interesting to think about what 2020 would have been like if this health crisis hadn’t taken over the whole world.

What do you think you would’ve done if the pandemic HAD NOT broken out earlier this year?

Let’s take a look at some interesting responses from AskReddit users.

1. All kinds of plans.

“Would have gone to a taping of American ninja warrior, gone ziplining in Indiana, traveled to Iceland.”

2. Can’t move on quite yet.

“I just graduated college in May with a degree that relates to business within the entertainment industry.

I had to move back home with my parents in another state just because the jobs weren’t in the city I was in all of the sudden. It really sucks. I’ve applied to what I can just about every day, but the jobs just aren’t there.

I was ready to move on with my life and really be an adult, have a job, get married, have a dog in the backyard, all that jazz, but now it’s on hold while I go back to sharing a bathroom with my siblings like in elementary school.

It really sucks.”

3. A good development!

“I would’ve continued working 60+ hours a week at a job I hate, getting paid a pittance, instead of focusing on what makes me happy.

I’ve taken that time to write my first novel. I’m a month away from completing my first draft!”

4. Worked out for you.

“I would be working a part time job in a failing weed shop which probably would have been shut down by now.

Instead, I’m now the manager, have fixed nearly 100 issues I inherited from the previous manager, store sales have improved greatly, and I suddenly have a career.

All thanks to the global pandemic.

Yay?”

5. Wow.

“I would not be alive.

I was planning to commit suicide.

I would have been dead before the lock down, but when everything shut down I had met someone and I immediately felt comfortable around them, and I was able to vent and release years of bottled up emotions, and she helped me work through things one at a time, which started giving me hope that maybe I’m worth something.”

6. Still a happy ending.

“Take my Vietnamese girlfriend to Vietnam for two weeks (she hasn’t been there since she was 5 years old) and propose to her. Thanks COVID

P.S I proposed here in the states anyway.

She said yes.”

7. No vacations.

“I’d be in Norway on vacation this very moment.

I suppose the bright side of COVID is the huge amount of PTO I will have saved by next year…”

8. Important stuff.

“Defended my PhD in person, walked at my graduation, had my family at said graduation, played softball weekly, seen friends, gone camping and hiking with friends, gotten my car fixed, probably would have a different job.

Also, traveled to visit my dad and my bf’s family.

Probably wouldn’t have lost as much weight though.”

9. Not a great year.

“This was supposed to be the year of big (positive) life changes for me.

– I graduated with my MFA in Theater (which would’ve happened in person, and I would’ve gotten to see my family and celebrate with my cohort in person)

– I would’ve been a bridesmaid in one of my best friends’ wedding (I also haven’t seen her in person since 2018 so that would’ve been nice to see her)

– The first full production of one of my plays would have gone up in NYC

– I would have had my own wedding (we got legally married last year, but still haven’t had our “wedding”–now we won’t until probably 2022, at which point it’s more like a vow renewal)

– my husband and I would’ve moved out of this d*mn studio to a place with a bigger kitchen and more space for our kitty to run around (but now we’re stuck here for another year)

– I probably would’ve been able to get a job as a theater administrator or teacher and wouldn’t feel like a useless couch lump

So uhhh yeah, this year can go to hell. I’m ready for 2021, and it better be better than this.

The bar isn’t that high.”

10. Getting in shape.

“I most likely would’ve continued to stay overweight, as I had much easier access to eating out and would use school as an excuse to not work out.

With the covid quarantine, the boredom actually led me to work out a lot more, which also led me to eating better, and I am happy to say I’ve lost 14 lbs from when I first started this 3 months ago!”

11. Business woes.

“My side business wouldn’t have collapsed, but I would still be working 50+ hrs/week in my regular job in my regular office instead of working from home 90% of the time.

So, while it is a financial burden right now, it’s also a blessing in regard to life quality and making the reboot of my side business much easier in (hopefully) 2021.”

12. Can’t go anywhere…

“Well, my plans to hike and raft the Grand Canyon, followed by the 4th of July in Las Vegas were cancelled.

Other than that, not much.

I got fatter from working at home.”

13. A new addition.

“My husband would’ve been able to see our son get born.

He has a cough caused by a stint in his throat that was put in for radiation treatments. He was supposed to get it removed but all non-emergency procedures stopped for a while.

He had the same cough my entire pregnancy and no one noticed it until covid started getting bad. Occasionally he has coughing fits. Makes the people around him uncomfortable and any cough now make nurses raise an eyebrow.

He didn’t want to have a coughing fit at the hospital with me in delivery and the nurses put him out of the room and I deliver by myself.

He sent my mom with me instead.”

14. A big setback.

“We would’ve been making some money and we would’ve had a nice anniversary.

We were literally two weeks away from catching up on everything when Covid and the shutdowns hit and now we’re set back by over a year.”

15. More fulfilled.

“I would have worked a lot more, and instead I would have missed:

-Picking up the guitar for the first time in 6 years

-Starting a twitch channel

-Learning to program (started with some basic C++ stuff)

Honestly I felt more fulfilled without my job, my life is… I guess more stable now that I am working again but I don’t have the time to pour into hobbies and improving myself anymore and it’s become clear time I spend working at my job is not time I am spending fulfilling myself in any meaningful way.”

16. Back to Square One.

“I’m 30 and because of Covid I’m more or less broke, unemployed (I got laid off) and both of those things have caused me to move back home. My parents are about as happy about this as I am.

Covid has snatched away my very much enjoyed independence and turned me into a 15 year old again.

Being a teen sucks.”

If the Pandemic Never Happened, Here’s What People Would You Have Done the Past Few Months

This year has been a disaster and, for many people, it’s caused them to completely reevaluate their lives.

Which is one positive thing to come out of this awful crisis. People are debating what is really important to them and how they want to live their lives moving forward.

But it’s interesting to consider this question: f this pandemic hadn’t happened, what would you have done the past several months?

Here’s what AskReddit users had to say.

1. Terrible.

“I was scheduled to start my 6 week residential PTSD program in May. It is now closed indefinitely.

Lost my father late April, I imagine I’d still be able to speak with him now if no virus…”

2. No more exploring.

“I would’ve spent my six months exploring Mexico during my gap year actually exploring Mexico rather than every corner of my apartment in Mexico…”

3. Sorry for your loss.

“About the same thing except I would’ve had my mom to joke around with.

Now I joke to myself while her urn sits on a shelf in the living room corner. I would’ve gotten to go through my senior year of high school with her being there by my side in a literal sense.

I would have no money at all, but no amount of money Social Security can give me will ever be worth losing my mom at 17.

I feel awful about those who are younger than me that are going through the same situation as me.”

4. Supposed to be celebrating.

“I beat cancer last year.

This was supposed to be my f*ck cancer travel year before going back to work. In april I was taking my dad to Iceland with me for a nerd convention.

After that, I was going to take our 4×4 truck and spend 3mo or more on the road. Visiting national parks, museums, sight seeing, camping. I just some west coast in Feb to mid march

I’ve stayed home since mid March.”

5. Have to take it later.

“I wouldve hopefully passed my driving test.

I failed it in March and weeks later Covid hit the UK.

Haven’t driven since, im not even sure I remember how to drive.”

6. Working overtime.

“I would have had to work only 40 hours a week instead of the 70 that I have.

The stupid clients assume that since people are at home and under the fear of losing their jobs, we can overwork them to insanity.”

7. Land of the rising NOPE.

“I would have taken a kick *ss trip to Japan which would have been way outside of my budget!”

8. That’s too bad.

“My wife and I are opera singers: this was our big breakout year.

A good number of contracts with very reputable opera houses
that would take us to the next level. We were gonna buy a house…

All of our contracts for the next 18 months were canceled and we won’t be singing anytime soon since most companies have closed.

We’ve shifted careers at this point. Or at least are trying to…”

9. The wedding is postponed.

“My partner of 15 years and I decided to get officially married, have a big party and everything, everything supposed to happen October this year. Then COVID hit.

We were bummed for a while but relieved that so far COVID didn’t affect our families. Then we decided to call it off and spend the money on buying a house, that we would do in a near future anyway. We have just signed the papers today! We are so happy.”

10. The stage is dark.

“I’m supposed to be taking improv at iO in Chicago. Now the whole theatre is closed.

It’s especially sad because I was finally making adult friends in that class (I graduated college in 2019, so I no longer live near most of my close friends).

We were staying in touch a little bit at the beginning of quarantine but it’s kind of fizzled out.”

11. Hiring freeze.

“I would’ve gotten a full-time job at my internship after graduating.

But they lost too much money during COVID to justify hiring me.”

12. Bad timing.

“I moved to New York City in February, a few weeks before the lockdowns started. I had a whole binder of things I wanted to see and do and a job I was excited about. But I got laid off as soon as things got started and everything I wanted to do became impossible, and some of it is probably never coming back.

I would have been taking the train to every station, catching impromptu shows, hunting down the best open mics, trying to pin down the best pizza and burger, putting together a d&d group, and traveling to other parts of the north eastern us that I’ve always wanted to see.

I had big plans for this year, and I’m so heartbroken that all I’ve experienced is an endless chorus of sirens.”

13. Change of plans.

“Before covid hit, I accepted a job a cross the country being a rock climbing instructor for a boy scout camp.

I put in my notice, moved in with my BF’s family for the few weeks leading up to moving to the camp. Everything fell through. Lost the old job and the new one never started. Moved out of the house I was renting. Drained my savings in the move and subsequent months.

Now I’ve started IT courses online(realized I love tech, and fixing tech), lost 20lbs, and my bf and I are planning to start living on the road full time(RV life).

Life has never gone the way I planned. Not once, but I’m kind of happy with what I’m aiming for now.”

14. On hold for now.

“Would have kept my job, gotten a raise, a sizeable bonus.

And moved out of my parents house, and ultimately taken my plunge into independence.”

What have the past several months been like for you?

This Restaurant in Texas Is Still Putting up Hilarious Signs During the Shutdown

They still got it!

I’m talking about the El Arroyo restaurant in Austin, Texas, a place that has been known for their hilarious signs out in front of their establishment for quite some time now.

And, since we’re obviously living in very strange times, the folks at El Arroyo have adapted their sign game to reflect the current times.

Their signs lately have focused on the pandemic and the shutdown in a very way that no doubt gives their customers and folks passing by a good laugh.

A Stepdad Wanted to Know If He Was Wrong to Try to Protect His Sons From the Reality of Menstruation

Menstruation is a fact of life, and anyone who cohabitates with a female between the ages of 10 and 50(ish) at any point of their lives, for any reason, can expect to have to deal with the entire process on some level.

A fact that apparently didn’t occur to this man or his three older teenaged sons when he married a woman with a nineteen-year-old daughter.

The four of them share a bathroom, everyone gets along great, but this is their first time living with a woman for any sort of time.

Image Credit: Reddit

His oldest son, 18 (!) came to him and said they were uncomfortable seeing their stepsister’s period products in the trash can in the shared bathroom.

Instead of telling his son it’s a part of life and to suck it up, he talked to his stepdaughter, asking her to dispose of them more discreetly (or flush them, what?!).

Image Credit: Reddit

He was upset that she laughed it off, and even went on the offensive, and was even more irritated when his wife did the same later that night.

Image Credit: Reddit

Since he believed it was a real issue, he tried to talk to his daughter again, and was rebuffed with extreme prejudice.

Image Credit: Reddit

You will not be surprised to find that most on Reddit think OP (original poster) is, in fact, the a**hole here, a judgement that also extends to his sons.

Many people thought he’d missed a chance to help educate his sons on a natural process, and how to be better men.

Image Credit: Reddit

Others pointed out that the sons seem pretty immature for their age, and never having lived with a woman is really no excuse for not being educated about how to.

Image Credit: Reddit

And pointed out that it’s best they learn about this kind of thing from a sister, and not after they’ve treated their first girlfriend or wife like some kind of leper.

Image Credit: Reddit

Others lamented the fact that way too many men are weird about feminine products.

Image Credit: Reddit

And yeah, I’m sure that girl has more than a few complaints of her own, suddenly sharing a bathroom with three teenaged boys, so I’m not sure they should be the ones complaining.

Image Credit: Reddit

OP did post an update, in which he admits that his stepdaughter and wife sat them down for an excellent PowerPoint, and that all is well.

Image Credit: Reddit

They even apologized.

This is about the happiest ending of an Am I The A**hole post I could imagine, and I love to see it!
