This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I have Raynaud's Syndrome. Occasionally, my fingers will lose all circulation. (lemmy.world)

How do you get it circulating again? Is it the same kind of pins-and-needles you get when a leg falls asleep?

I stick them under my husband’s arms and steal his warmth. Or if he is not available, I’ll use warm water or just my own body parts that are warm.

Men are portable heaters that snore

Mine doesn't snore, must be a defective unit. But I've grown quite attached and shall be keeping him.

I actually have this too! For me, it usually happens when my extremities get too cold, and it can take me a bit to even notice it's happening. It usually happens predominantly in my big toes for some reason. For me it just feels like like it's gone completely numb, and I lose all feeling in the digit. I usually break out the heating pad and try to warm it back up until I can feel it again.
