The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

What is the deal with.. slime? The kind kids play with.
I was in the States recently and saw retail shops that sell slime and only slime. No big deal, there a storefront that specializes in practically everything.
Now that I look more into it, the scale is much bigger than I could have imagined. They have their own Reddit, YouTubers, e-commerce and manufacturing. What? Why is there so much of a demand for slime, that too, specialty slimes, that the cheap Chinese shit I remember from when I was a kid hasn't eaten into that cake already?
And why are most manufacturers in that space women? Just search up "slime warehouse" in youtube and you will see a bunch videos of young women leasing out massive warehouses to.. produce slime ?? Why isn't their lunch eaten yet by autists who treat it like alchemy or the Chinese yet? wtf.
I think you are about a couple years late to the party? I remember this shit was insane around 2018. Every kid I ever interacted with was constantly watching slime videos or playing with slime.
Late to the Slime Party seems like a tshirt idea.
