"because people used to drive with gloves on for some reason."

Its hard to imagine someone so ignorant they cannot comprehend cars being made without heaters

It's hard to imagine someone so ignorant that they can't comprehend people all not being 90 years old.

Gus,

Name then then and why they are bs.
And if it's "usually all bs", why do you keep coming back? To tell us how everything is fake and remind us you can see through the lies or whatever?

WD-40 is not good as a long-term lubricant. It's essentially mineral oil in a solvent. The solvent washes out any good original oil on the moving part or bearing, then evaporates and leaves a thin film of mineral oil which is too light-weight to last and properly lubricate the mechanism.

Barney,
100% correct but it should be further noted that "too light weight" means ultimately damage will occur speeding the demise unless real oil added after using DW40

Nobody mentioned that it's intended use use was to displace water in electrical connections such as a car's points.

#7... I recall a couple of ovens that had a warming tray but it was above the oven part and under the stove top. They also had pan storage under the oven where it is much cooler since hot air RISES drawing the cold air up from below.

#8.. A TEMPORARY emergency solution in the field, to keep wounds closed until a proper fix in surgery. Better solutions exist away from the front lines so don't do this at home.

#7.. I had 2 ovens with warming trays between the oven and under the stove top

also had storage under oven

#19 because the driver seats used to be open air to mimic horse carriages. Wind blew on the drivers. They have also been using scarfs and in some cases glasses.

Josetta, Just stick your hands and head out the window in bad weather (while someone else is driving of course) to see how good idea gloves, scarves and goggles actually were at the time.

#8 My dad taught me this when i was a kid and my ex thought I was crazy every I used it. And it wasn't temporary for me, i would just apply more as needed and I have no scars from any of those injuries, but the ones where I had real stitches, for smaller injuries, have left huge scars. The one time I needed stitches because the cut went through arteries and tendons, and the other time was because they stitched me up while I was still unconscious.

#8 - Perfect for paper-cuts.
#11 - Not true.
The original (the 'Slanket') was created in 1997 by a then-freshman at the University of Maine named Gary Clegg. As the story goes, 17-year-old Clegg was sitting under a blanket in his poorly insulated dorm room on a cold December night. He wanted to turn his old-fashioned tube television to Late Night with Conan O’Brien, but had to take his hand out from under his warm blanket and point the remote at the screen to do so. Annoyed by this fact, he cut a hole in the blanket and stuck his arm through. Within a few hours he came up with the idea to add sleeves to his blanket and a few weeks later went home and commissioned the first Slanket to be made by his mother.

I don't know if you all noticed, but this was on reddit. It was answered by average people, and average people generally don't know what they're talking about so there is no need to clarify any of this "information." And besides, you all are average people, too, so....

Allan,

Do you really want to go there? Starting a sentence with a coordinating conjunction is acceptable in informal writing. The rest looks fine to me, considering the informality.

"Minoxidil was originally developed to treat high blood pressure and people reported unusual hair growth all around the body, since it promotes blood flow to the skin pores. They came up with a topical version and voila, millions of people smear that sh*t on their scalps and beards everyday and its the one of the only clinically proven ways to cure baldness."
