You could lift the potato without setting off the trap pretty easily

Yeah, they can weigh up to 2000lbs with a king-size bed. A king-size bed is 6,080 sq in.

A fridge can weigh 300lb being 36"×30". 1,152 sq in.

Fridge is .26 pounds per sq inch. A water bed is .33 pounds per sq inch.

So while heavy the weight is distributed basically like a fridge. This is assuming an empty fridge.

As for durability, a quality waterbed mattress is thick. You aren’t going to pop it or cut it without deliberately trying to.

Even if you took a knife and stabbed it from the top, it’s not going to leak until you put weight on it.

That’s a misconception for water beds.

High-quality water beds have stabilizer pads in the mattress

The idea of the old crappy 70’s water bed where they slosh around is a poor idea.

You aren’t laying on a ziploc bag barely filled with any water.

It’s more like a ziploc bag filled with molasses. If I pushed a corner down it would slowly bring up everywhere else. If I stopped pushing a corner it everything would slowly go back down.

Say I have a massive gut and sleeping on my right side. I’m displacing X amount of water. If I was to turn to my left side I am still displacing the same amount of water. Just the empty space that use to hold my gut would be filled with the water from the other side where my gut is now. Someone on other side of bed wouldn’t even feel it because the water underneath them doesn’t change.

This is why water beds are amazing

Winter you put memory foam to keep you from the cold water, in summer you sleep on the cold water.

Only downsides to a water bed are: 1. Heavy 2. You have to add chemicals to your mattress as regular maintenance 3. It can’t really be extra firm (but a lot more firm than people think)

The water will steal every bit of heat from your body, but you’ll stay warm with a blanket

Pro tip:

Always max hot water (or hot water only if separate) to warm up shower fastest and save water. It’s a win win.

Turning it 3/4 or something to desired temperature takes longer to heat up and wastes both hot and cold water.

Imagine being so incapable of washing your penis that you need a bunch of it removed.

They should have said “Imagine being so incapable of washing your child’s penis that you need a bunch of it removed.”

A child’s penis in a dirty diaper could get quite nasty with foreskin if the parents don’t wash and change the diaper regularly.

The cleanliness thing is for the lack of parenting. And the parents make that choice.

Genital mutilation is a big deal

People get angry at piercing infant ears, but somehow cutting off foreskin is normal.

What if we were ripping off infant fingernails?

Studies have shown that a lot of bacteria collect under them, and if we removed the fingernails, kids would get sick less.

Why don’t you get your appendix removed as an infant?

You wouldn’t want to risk it rupturing as an adult

Foreskin is natural. The likelihood of you needing it removed is slim to none.

Just look at all the other countries that don’t circumcise. Are all the adults getting circumcised later in life? No.

The problem is you don’t know how good it is to have foreskin. It’s like you growing up with no fingernails. You wouldn’t know how good fingernails were.

Not everyone is cut the same

Some get more, and some get less cut off.

Sounds like you were fortunate and got less cut off.

Circumcision is common in US, mentioning lotion with masterbating is common.

Like you said, no one would use lotion unless they had to.

No, because knowing the first child is a boy doesn’t tell you any information about the second child.

Three doors, Girl Girl Boy

You select a door and Monty opens a door to show a Girl. You had higher odds of picking a girl door to start (2/3). So switching gives you better odds at changing to the door with the Boy because you probably picked a Girl door.

Here the child being a boy doesn’t matter and the other child can be either.

It’s 50/50 assuming genders are 50/50.

Oh they definitely advertise to doctors as well
