so what is a soy wojak?

well i am now

1. In an acid base reaction, yes it does. An acid donates a proton, a base accepts a proton. The less acidic compound will accept the proton, making it the base. Acting as a base does not make it alkaline.

2. Correct, the acid base reaction itself does not cause bubbling. However, baking soda and vinegar are not the only compounds that react to form CO2 (or another gas) in an acid base reaction.

3. Looking at the components of ear wax reveal it’s composed of a wide variety of different compounds. It’s been a while since I took o chem, so I’m not up to the task of determining which of these components are or are not capable of producing CO2 (or any other gas) in an acid base reaction with acetic acid. Do you have a source detailing these possible chemical reactions?

ETA: The people in this thread are so eager to shut down misinformation that they are actively spreading misinformation that would be rapidly disproven in any gen chem college course. I’ve learned my lesson on trying to share cool chemistry facts with internet strangers.

OPs doctor recommended it

I’m looking at the full text, can’t find the word buffer anywhere on the page, all I can find is they used 2% acetic acid rather than 5%. Did you mean diluted?

people really trust a rando lemmy comment over the research that is directly in their face, and are ignoring the fact that this was recommended by your doctor lol

Yes! Earwax is slightly acidic (~6.1 pH) while acetic acid is more acidic (5% vinegar is ~2.5 pH) so the earwax acts as a base in this reaction.

ETA: there may be other things it is reacting with as well, like leftover soap, but this is how acid base reactions work. A chemical does not need to be above pH of 7 to act as a base. The more acidic compound will give its extra hydrogen to the less acidic compound.

as my dad would say, “you’d complain if you’s hung with a new rope”

Shrinking (Apple TV) has so much of this

OH there we go lol

my brain is broken rn apparently, I had to put your birthday into an age calculator to confirm, aren’t you turning 17 in a few months?

OP is 17

where is the humor in this anecdote?

Thank you!

Can anyone ID the book? Just curious

this is just an ad

OP mentioned they can log in to their lemmy.world account through sync so I assume this is their alt

The devs said this rollout may take up to a week to work out the major issues, then they expect it to resolve. Hopefully your app catches up soon, and the deployment of 0.19 goes well! I don’t have a lemmy.ml account so I can’t check, but the app I use (voyager) says it is ready for the 0.19 update and theoretically shouldn’t break.
