Darkly fun fact! From 1532, a hair removal recipe: 'Boil together a solution of one pint of arsenic and eighth of a pint of quicklime. Go to a baths or a hot room and smear medicine over the area to be depilated. When the skin feels hot, wash quickly with hot water so the flesh doesn’t come off.’ ☠️

First post is for disclaimers: If I'm inconsistent on here, it's because I'm researching how to smell like a lemon cake instead of being a productive member of society. Also, if you see the same posts elsewhere, yes you did. I'm tired.
