I periodically stick mine up my rectum to get the ear wax off.

Is this the little known facts known by few thread? I’ve been looking for an opportunity to post this gem:

The body can retain vitamins a, d, e, and k, but it cannot retain b-complex vitamins and vitamin c. However, it will not tolerate an excess of vitamins an and d. One theory states, if you eat too much polar bear liver, it'll kill you

This is why I don't share earbuds. At least my earbuds have my bacteria.

Of course they do. I would imagine as long you are not licking them or sharing with other ppl their is no harm. The bacteria on is normal to the ear.

What a surprise! Its my bacteria and I am not sharing. Just use an alcohol wipe and you are good to go.





FYI Waffle House restaurants may have a little bacteria also so be careful when entering!

I hate the earbuds that get jammed into ears and pretty much all the best headphones have only that option save for Beats.

Maybe clean them now and then.


Ear wax removal videos are interesting

You would be correct.

However, if you typed asterisks on sheets of paper, the number of combinations is equal to covering the entire state of alaska and texas in asterisks.

Assuming one million asterisks per 84 square feet.

What a nonsense article. An uncleaned earbud has more bacteria than a cutting board which is probably one that has been thoroughly cleaned. Should that be a surprise to anyone?



The writer or whoever owned the Airpods in the picture is a disgusting human being, I know some pretty filthy people who have Airpods and not a single one has anything that looks like the pic posted in that article.
