50 Times People Came Across Something ‘Mildly Disgusting’ And Had To Share In This Group
You gotta admit that it is a bit funny considering things can be mildly disgusting. Considering the physiological response to disgusting things, you either upchuck or you don’t. Sure, you can feel the urge, but again, you still reach a point where it’s too much or not enough. It’s more of an on the fence thing, and not a continuum, like comedy.
Still, the concept is more than worthy of a strong community backing it up. And, well, some of it is definitely more disgusting than just mildly, so be warned.

Mayflies, Mormon flies, Fish flies, this is definitely an early or late swarm. The suckers emerge from the Mississippi, mate, and die (the have no stomach!) They are attracted to lights of all sorts. (So don't leave your porch lights on, or park under a street light with the windows open.Snow plows are often used to clear drifts from concrete bridges, and some p;laces have steel mesh on their overpasses. Doors can easily accumulate enough of these to prevent them from opening.. They STINK and can be seen on weather radar at the peak of the season. Fish and birds feast on them.

“Black Hairy Tongue” A Condition Caused By Antibiotics
Sweet Taurus 1 year ago
Pepto will turn your tongue black too! It's not hairy looking like that but quite a shock when you brush your teeth and spit out black.
Huddo's sister 1 year ago
Yeah, same thing can happen if you use a steroid nasal spray or asthma puffer and don't rinse after. Starts as white spots and can get painful. As well as rinsing or brushing teeth after, you can eat probiotic yoghurt to help prevent it.

I've never had this happen while on antibiotics. I got this list of hairy tongue causing antibiotics on the internet: "Several antibiotics, including minocycline, doxycycline, erythromycin, linezolid, amoxicillin-clavulanate, metronidazole and piperacillin–tazobactam, have been reported to cause black hairy tongue."

Though the Mildly Disgusting community on Reddit is relatively modest in the grand scheme of things—clocking in at just 16,000 members—it’s an active and even dedicated one. And it’s ranked in the top 5%, and that’s saying something.
It’s essentially a place for “stuff that *almost* makes you want to puke.” It likely won’t, but some of it has great potential.

The "milk" in a coconut isn't milk at all, but water. You get coconut milk by boiling the "meat". Before the coconut sprouts the water will solidify as it's the seed. This coconut may not necessarily be full of fungus, but was in the process of sprouting. Still gross looking tho.
We’ve already discussed why disgusting and weird things draw us in so much in a few other listicles. If you haven’t caught that, it’s because there’s this evolutionary thing in our brains that essentially tells us “hey, that can be dangerous, focus on it like you’re a cat seeing something super foreign to them even though it’s just a baby.”

It also ties in with the concept of benign masochism—a tendency where people deliberately seek out seemingly negative experiences to get a hit of that adrenaline rush within a limited degree of risk. There is definitely something exhilarating about seeing animals duke it out in the wild, and so that same thing can apply to mildly gross (or any degree of it) things.

My & My Wife’s Exact Same Pillowcase (I Am 1/2 Portuguese, With Oilier Skin)

Riley Quinn 1 year ago
Yeah, those yellow stains on sheets, cases, and pillows is caused by body/head oils. But this is caused by lack of washing on a regular basis.
And it doesn’t help that Reddit—in fact, any modern social medium—is designed in a way that it never ends and so the scrolling keeps on giving. Once you start looking at it, it’s sometimes hard to hit the brake pedal.
If you think it’s no big deal, 80% of Brits admit to scrolling through things mindlessly, which averages to a total of 3 hours a day. Imagine what you could’ve done in that time.

Considering how uniform it is, this is not "dirt" but decomposed carpet padding foam. I had the exact same pile in my house but brown, the same color as the carpet pad.
Mike F 1 year ago
I think it was a generational thing. My mom used to wash our wood floors on her hands and knees, she was born in 1930 and that's how they did it. The floor was incredibly cold in winter as well so when the opportunity presented itself years later to get carpet, she jumped at the chance. Now it is out of fashion again and being replaced with laminate floors.

Riley Quinn 1 year ago
Oh, yeah. Carpets are porous, and even the best vacuum in the world will not remove these fine particles. And this is why I hate carpets. They are truly disgusting.
This also leads to the term doom scrolling—very appropriate for mildly gross content, if I might add—which is essentially the same as regular scrolling, but it focuses on that which is negative and bad. It doesn’t matter if it’s news, memes or any other kind of content found on social media. If it’s dark in nature, it fits.

Folks speculate a number of reasons why scrolling, let alone doom scrolling, is so addictive. The most prevalent explanation is the idea of dopamine being associated with whatever that we can find on our phone through scrolling.
Other reasons include fear of missing out (what the kids these days call FOMO) and social media design, which, of course, will be designed in a way to keep you engaged because money.

There are ways to kick the habit, namely creating phone free zones for yourself at home, setting time limits, and swapping scrolling for something else, like walks outside. It also helps to manage your notifications, unsubscribe from things, and even consider a digital detox.

But, honestly, nobody would judge you for continuing on with your binges of all that is gross and disgusting, regardless of its level. Your body does a lot of debatably disgusting things that are actually good like farts, burps and other sorts of substances coming out of whatever crevice that it comes out of.

It's still quite popular (as in, several pediatricians recommended adding it to my kid's diet).
