  • While technically feasible with pure soap in small amounts (which is lye fully reacted with food grade oil/fats), the stuff you find in stores will have stuff like:

    • Conditioner
    • Perfume
    • Coloring

    All of which are likely to cause irritation on your intestines and worsen the overall acid flux experience.

    If you need to do this experiment for some reason, make sure you know exactly what is in it. Most likely any "safe-ish" soap is more expensive than antacids or food-grade chalk.

    Fun fact: Old timey cheap industry soap (plain tallow and lye) used to be popular with rats and mice.

  • Exactly.

    It was an opportunity to pick who would be in power for them to fight for improvement.

    If they effectively meant what they claim, they'd push with heart and soul to get the lesser evil in poer and then immediately fight them tooth and nail for positive change.

    "We need to fight for change. I prefer my opponent to devolve into oppressive fascism first, please."

  • The effect will be stability, but not in a good way. Like a pile of bricks being more stable than a wall because they can't fall over.

    US troops pacify enough that no government can grow there, and no foreign nations (Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, etc) can sponsor a puppet government.

    Things that will be cracked down on: Any strong organization not endorsed and in leash of US military.

    Things that will not be: Systemic problems like corruption, smuggling, organized crime, etc. And with no other organizing force allowed, nobody will be in power to handle those.

    The result will be less violence and war, but a region that's not sustainable or functioning. It'll be less able to stand on its own after the US gets bored with it than it is now.

  • The vanity of not choosing a lesser evil.

    All the clutched straws of misapplied "false dichotomy", "showing the democrats that they must change", etc are just intellectual dishonesty. It's actively and knowingly choosing a greater evil by not flipping the lever in a real life trolley problem.

  • People here complain about tankies and ban the shit out of them if they start defending dictators so you will naturally see only the anti side.

    People on lemmy.world complain about tankies, and tankies complain about being yelled at for merely supporting deportations, murder, terror bombings and crimes against humanity.

    People on lemmy.ml/memes complain about being called tankes to other tankies. They agree that every country between USA and Moscow is a puppet state of the CIA and Putler did nothing wrong. Back pats and handjobs all around.

    Follow all three for a good time!
