A: How can I heal a burnt tongue?

What can help the pain to disappear? Something cooling. So breathe through the mouth, eat something cold, e.g. youghurt. Or drink some cold water. Or Coca Cola :) Also, as wikihow.com states, you can try: Sucking an ice cube Sprinkling powder sugar on your tongue. Eating a spoon of honey Openi...

@Cashbee urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=boon boon is actually somewhat the opposite of a noob. Tho, talking of a "german thing" in fact, I see people using it often, and rarely (if ever?!) saw someone using it in the right context. Simply because, a skill full person doing unskillfull things makes it look like "boon" refers to the unskillfull acts, rather than the skillfull person. ^^

@Noon Thats also not how we do it here in germany. But I was able to establish it at least for my family and friends the same way. As ringing mobiles and the need to immediately take actions on to it is very very stressy for me :x And to not give them space for argumenting about it, I ofcourse also don't do the same :P

@ElizB Does that work for the skin inside my mouth too? I rarely have my tounge burned but when eating pizza especially when the hot tomato sauce squeezes to the upper part in my mouth I not rarely bur it. >.<

Thank you Magish, the great cactus janitor :D

@apaul good question, but lacks an actual question. What would be your goal?

apaul

Would seem kinda obvious... no?

Magisch

I think it might be too broad. The set of problems in the third paragraph (untangling the different aspects of that) don't seem to be interpersonal, and I can't find an interpersonal problem in there

SQB

Hm... on re-reading, perhaps just swapping the last paragraph with the one before it, might help.

Magisch

Is the goal to sensitize people to the issue? that might be one

apaul

Mhmm...

SQB

It's a tough problem, though. While not wanting to police someone's fetish, and while perhaps being somewhat glad they're at least not an enemy, you still want to point out that they're not really helping, either.

Same with "chubby chasers", for instance.

apaul

Would rather get feedback on meta than in chat... The context feels a little tainted at the moment, all things considered.

SQB

Or people with a fetish for a skin colour.

@apaul you're right, we should respond there.

@SQB More a matter of pointing out that their fetish is based in a fantasy with little if any connection to reality. But, ya, swapping the paragraph order makes enough sense.

Honestly felt a bit like "quick offer a distraction!!!"

Q: What to do when an Ambulance can't pass you?

First of: I don't really know if this fits here, so please point it out if not. I just couldn't find a "more fitting" stack. So here's the deal: Earlier I was driving on the highway to work, which currently is under construction work. Because of that, one of the two lanes is closed and the secon...
