Of course she is. She was married to Shakespeare.

[–] aarRJaay@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Biggest miscast was to not use her in Hamnet.

I haven't seen it yet, but I can't look at the title without thinking of something stupid, like bologna cage

Did you know: Nic Cage's real name is Nicholas Kim Coppola?

He's part of the Coppola family but wanted to avoid (the appearance of) nepotism.

Wikipedia doesn't indicate whether he's also related to the North Korean ruling family, took the surname of his third wife and kept it even though he's been married to two others since then, or neither.

It's PROBABLY neither, but I personally like that there's a nonzero chance that it's not 😁

I'd like to think he got involved with that marriage to get his hands on some artifacts or dinosaur bones. That he then had to give back and pay crazy taxes on.

I have a food allergy, and I'm always surprised if I ever find people who are lackadaisical about theirs.

I'm sure every person is different, but for me, when I have a bad reaction, my esophagus almost completely closes, I feel some of the worst pain in my life, and sometimes I can't stop throwing up, which obviously doesn't work too well since my esophagus is closed.

At least it doesn't obstruct my airway. All I generally have to do is crush some Benadryl and hold it under my tongue when it gets really bad.

I think for many people, they just get the shits 6 hours later.

Lactose intolerance isn't an allergy. The body just lacks lactase in the small intestine for breaking down the lactose. Which means the lactose goes off into the colon unprocessed, where bacteria will gladly ferment it, which causes tons of gas to be released, which is what causes bloating and pain.

Additionally, to quote Wikipedia:

The unabsorbed sugars and fermentation products also raise the osmotic pressure of the colon, causing an increased flow of water into the bowels (diarrhea).

And really, lactose intolerance during adulthood is kind of the default. It's ~~only~~ mostly just humans in Europe that started evolving towards adult lactose tolerance.

It’s only humans in Europe that started evolving towards adult lactose tolerance.

Not true, there are ethnicities in sub-saharan africa that are also lactose tolerant, especially eastern africa.

Alright, yeah, I guess, I should've formulated that differently. Basically, this map, which is also in the linked Wikipedia article:

Allergies range from, "this is a bit uncomfortable," to, "OH MY GOD I'M GOING TO DIE!" It can make it hard for some people to realize the potential seriousness if they've only ever experienced mild effects.

I’m just gonna say that as a child I kept eating ice cream until it stopped making me sick.

Because it’s fucking ice cream!

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Lactose intolerance will not stop my love of ice cream and cheese!!!

[–] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Same. I’m in and out of the hospital for a week and in the absolute WORST pain during that time too. I don’t fuck with my allergy in the least.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago

Thank you last comment for explaining the joke

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 1 points 1 day ago

I looked up who Anne Hathaway was (is) before reading the last line and so going back to the meme I was pleasantly surprised I wasn't entirely wrong in doing that.

In case anybody needs this information then milk is just filtered blood so if you're a vampire going vegetarian you could try substituting blood for milk.

[–] Dadifer@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Urine is more technically filtered blood.
