RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Seriously?! I had no idea people did that, assumed they were doing like me, lye and fat. Saw an idiot woman on YouTube post:
"NOT using lye on MY skin!"
Replied:
"It's no longer lye after the chemical reactions. And this is why we need better science education for small children. You would have failed my 4th-grade science class."
Yes. Melt and pour soap uses glycerine soap that people buy in huge blocks at the craft store, like Michael's. They melt it, add colour, trinkets, glitter, and perfume, and pour it into moulds. Arts and crafts.
Actively adding glitter to our waterways really seems to be the dumbest thing about all of this.
That is very true. I would hope that they use edible or biodegradable glitter instead of the horrible plastic stuff.
