Fesshole 🧻My daughter scalded herself trying to make me a cup of tea. Hospital bandaged it up but it still hurt. I wrote her a "prescription" requiring her to swear like a sailor every time it hurt while in school, to help manage the pain. Awkward conversation with the head teacher.

Stephen Fry and Brian Blessed explore why you swear when you bang your head or stub your toe.

Log 🪵@fesshole Scientifically verified that swearing up a storm temporarily reduces pain and increases strength. Teacher should be apprised of the publications.

Andrew@fesshole I did workshop for a few years at high school. Our teacher would tell us off for swearing. Except when you injured yourself.
One particular memory is a guy who put a chisel through his hand. He was told off for not swearing enough or loud enough. Dunno how much it helped, but he certainly started getting into the swing of it.
