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.

The Door I Had To Get Through Last Night To Get To My Room
CM Peterson 8 months ago
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.

Well, if they are, how on earth is that "disgusting"? I go down to the river just down from me for walks, when I can, and come that time of year I think it's wonderful to see them all all about

They're just harmless Mayflies. Now, if those were nasty, disease-spreading, bloodthirsty insects, I'd rent a blow torch to get in.

Turning the light off, so they go to your neighbor's instead, is an excellent idea.

“Black Hairy Tongue” A Condition Caused By Antibiotics
Sweet Taurus 8 months 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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Why Why Why
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 your body’s way of getting rid of the bad stuff.

Same goes with food. Something that looks or tastes disgusting might be very good for you. Eating means teaching your body’s immune system and gaining strength from its nutrients. Who cares if it looks, tastes and smells like a month-old armpit in liquid form. Add some salt. Bottom line is, not all that is disgusting is necessarily bad.

And Yet My Wife Still Complains About A Single Stray Beard Hair In The Sink. How She's Not As Bald As Me I Don't Know
kiteman 8 months ago
Eh I bought a high rise expensive condo and my shower wasn’t draining. I got a snake rooter thing and brought up about 5 meters of hair. It’s very common and doesn’t really bother me anymore. Sinks have the same problem, just less. Who knows how many occupants hair and how long comes up? Draino will rarely solve a bad clog.

Gross. Seems like a lot of these issues could have been prevented if people cleaned up after themselves.
