Like, I get comments from people telling me it’s weird I always try to peel potatoes like I am trying to make the worlds longest 1-piece potato peel. To me it feels way for efficient and fun to continu down a potato in 1 peel, while circling around it, instead of randomly scraping a hundred different pieces of peel off and having to reintroduce the cutter knife to the potato for every piece.

I was a bartender for a bit.

It’s normal for coworkers to complain about picky/annoying guests.

A coworker came up to me:

Jfc guy said he wanted a lot of lemon with his Pepsi, I gave him 3, he said he wants like a whole lemon worth of slices wtf

Me: Was he… Old?

Yeah…?

Me: kidney stones. That mans probably had a few, and he’s done with em. Give him a sidecar of fresh lemon juice (something we had on hand), you’ll make his day.

What does lemon do to kidney stones?

My guess is it helps dissolve them?

A quick bit of research shows that citric acid prevents kidney stones from forming, actually.

Yes, maybe, if you put kidney stones directly in lemon juice, but kidneys filter blood, not the content of our stomach. Maybe it makes the blood more acidic…? Not a doctor but I doubt it can be that effective
