Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

the secret might be not pumping you hair full of chemicals?
-my neighbor who is into essential oils
i think your neighbor might be onto something (essential oils notwithstanding)
Are you suggesting that 6-in-one product has fewer chemicals?
no
So no washing your hair at all?
Or is there some whitelist of allowed chemicals? I assume at least water, but hopefully some kind of surfactant, too?
And no, I’m not being obtuse, I genuinely never know what people mean when they say things like this. Same as eating “clean”. It usually seems to be “clean means food that seems intuitively healthy to me” and “chemicals are things that seem intuitively scary to me”.
water + soap or the simplest shampoo is what i go for, depending on if i have a buzzcut or long hair. i don't dye it either.
My hippie neighbor who uses his own piss twice a week. For real. His beard looks lavish.
Fun fact though, pee is composed almost entirely of chemicals.
Almost?
Edit: ah. Nevermind :)
Naturally sources.
That’s the thing about chemicals, though. Ammonia from a penis is the exact same thing as ammonia from a factory. Despite what homeopaths would say, molecules don’t have a memory of where they’ve been. I suppose I can see an argument around sourcing chemicals from sources that minimize environmental harm.
The source is key here, especially the pathway for obtaining said chemical. The biological pathway a human used to source ammonia is natural.
Is the concern the additional chemicals that it may be mixed with due to the method of production? Because ammonia is ammonia is ammonia, regardless of source.
i keep hearing urea is good for a bunch of things but i'm not that brave.
It may be. But it’s not insanely complicated to synthesize NH₂CONH₂, and it’ll be far more pure than getting it from an animal’s waste. You just need ammonia, carbon dioxide, and some equipment (and know how to use said equipment without exploding things, so best to outsource the production).
I've heard it's good for your skin, too. Supposedly, pregnant women's urine is the best.
