      “Perfect to use alone”

      I think the perfect amount might a quite a lot less than that.

      But, duck tape is the original name because It was made with a duck cloth backing. “Duct tape” didn’t come into use until the 1960s.

      Duck tape is perfectly correct, it was the original name given to the tape with it only being used for duct work much later on.

      From The Wikipedia article:

      “Duck tape” is recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary as having been in use since 1899[2] and “duct tape” (described as “perhaps an alteration of earlier duck tape”) since 1965.[3]

      It was originally used for making shoes stronger and was later used for sealing ammo tins.

          Suposably, errors like this happen because people are playing it by year. For all intensive purposes complaining about it is a mute point though - unless they are doing it over and over and for a pacific reason, e.g. because of oldtimers desase.

    TIL that chlorophyll is a supplement. Can’t say I’ve ever thought of it that way

      I don’t even know what it is for. I guess that it is a good sign since it means any doctor never thought I need it.

        Looks like it’s meant to be an antioxidant.

        Did some looking up and apparently natural chlorophyll can be an antioxidant (when not in light), but it doesn’t seem to be a very potent one.

        Considering similar fads have existed with chlorophyll, scepticism is advised

        The chlorophyll I get is mostly wheatgrass juice. It’s really good at eliminating fish, onion, or garlic breath/burps. Basically anything sulphur-y. It’s nasty as hell, tastes like dirt, but one small shot gets rid of whatever is bugging me and I think it’s totally worth it.

        No idea if it has “health benefits” besides y’know…consuming greens.
