  1. @fesshole wait.. this isn't one of those #brushing scams, is it?

  2. @scruss

    Gravel! That's a new one on me. At least it's kinda, sorta useful? Or at least you can discard it without endangering your environmental reputation.

    I got a tube of #toothpaste, once. Some unrecognizable brand labelled in Chinese.

    Anyone else receive random stuff due to review-brushing?

  4. 2 things I’m not doing with #toothpaste no matter who tells me.
    1. #Brushing before #breakfast. That ruins the taste of my food.
    2. Just spitting the toothpaste out without #rinsing. It literally says not to swallow toothpaste, I’m not leaving it on my #teeth just to swallow it later when I eat again. That’s #contradictory.

  5. Goldilocks and Brunhilde

    #FanFiction @stevendbrewer – Bear and Forrest Stories
    #Wss366 #Mastoprompt 12/4 #PIXIVCharitySanta

    The Volpex Picnic Park’s bear stopped and took a puff of his smoke. There was only the back area to check, and then he could take a nap. He looked forward to a lazy, warm winter day. Very few people used the park during the winter, even on a bright sunny day like this.

    The exception was Brunhilde’s family. He could count on her and her mom stopping by on any pleasant weekend. And sure enough, there was their car driving away.

    He smiled. Their going home would make things easier. He liked Brunhilde, but she was a handful.

    That was why the whimpering issuing from their favorite site surprised him.

    The bear quietly put out his cigarette, entered the site, and found Brunhilde sobbing, a book clutched to her chest. The family's picnic things were on the table, but an ice chest was turned over on its side, empty.

    “Now, now,” the bear said patting her on the back. Then, as gently as possible, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

    The girl turned her tear-stained face up to look at the bear. “Nothing,” she said, wiping her nose with her sleeve.

    “Big girls don’t cry over nothing,” Bear said, #brushing away her tears with the back of his paw. It scratched a bit, but seemed to comfort Brunhilde.

    Bear continued, “It has to be something important for them to cry over. So what is it?”

    “Masked bandits stole our picnic food, and Mom went to town to buy more. But she broke her promise to read to me.”

    “That must have been Riteka Raccoon and her gang. I’ll deal with them later.”

    Brunhilde held out the book. “Would you read to me, Mr. Bear?”

    The bear looked at the book, squinting, trying to make out the title. “I know! Why don’t YOU read to me!”

    “Oh,” Brunhilde said. “I’d love that.” A smile adorned her face. Any sign of #moping had disappeared.

    She hurriedly opened the book and began, “Once upon a time, there was a girl named Goldilocks…”

    “'…Someone is in my bed, and she is still there!' Goldilocks woke up and saw the three bears, screamed, and ran out of the house, never to return.”

    Finished, Brunhilde asked, “Did you like the story, Mr. Bear?”

    “It’s not the version I know, but I loved it.”

    Suddenly, Forrest screamed from a nearby tree where they had been listening, “His version includes, ‘She took a puff of the cigar and said, “This is too strong.”’”

    Brunhilde never heard the rest because Bear started throwing pinecones at Forrest.

  6. OK, this is driving me crazy so I have to ask - before brushing your teeth do you put water on your toothbrush before the toothpaste, after the toothpaste, not at all, or something else?

  8. Beware of 'brushing' scams! Unsolicited packages could mean your data is being used for fake reviews & inflated sales. #Brushing #Scams #USPS jpmellojr.blogspot.com/2025/07

  9. The victims of #brushing #scams used to be those who followed the fake reviews, so all you could do was throw away the package you received because, you were not the direct target of the fraud. But that is all changed now. Do not scan a QR code sent to you in the mails for #christmas to "find out" who the gift giver is! This is a new virus, root kit and zero day vector! Maybe don't even scan #QR codes anymore... #frauds

  10. Has there ever been research to check what works best; brushing teeth with cold or warm water?

  11. Now it’s Matilda’s turn - all grumps and teeth gnashing… until I finish and put you back in your room and give you a treat; then suddenly everything’s great again. #Bunny #Brushing #HouseRabbit #BunniesOfMastodon

  12. Chuck is not a fan of brushing, but he looks so good afterwards (and he’s only grouchy until I give him a treat after) #Bunny #Brushing #HouseRabbit #BunniesOfMastodon

  13. Set up my “bunny torture set” (aka “brushes and nail clippers”) on the laundry counter, along with my first (unwilling) customer #Bunny #Brushing #NailClipping #HouseRabbit #BunniesOfMastodon

  14. I’ve known of the brushing scam phenomenon, but this is my first direct encounter flic.kr/p/2p5zUtD

    A brushing scam is when spammy Amazon Marketplace vendors pay for positive reviews, but a literal shipment has to be made which consist of cheap junky products. Two such very strange items came to my office—a pair of moist towelette packages and, inexplicably, a single blank crack-and-peel address label!

    At least you brush them!!
    I just found out about a week ago that Veterans can not get dentures through the V.A.
    Ridiculous!

  17. CW: Brushing-Scam, Amazon (1/2)

    Hätte ja nie gedacht, dass es auch mich irgendwann erwischt. Tja, seit gestern bin ich nun auch im Club der #Brushing-Opfer.

    Was heißt das?

    Das heißt: irgendein Webshop hat sich hacken lassen oder illegale Geschäfte mit Adresshändlern gemacht. Dann trat ein windiger Amazon-Händler auf den Plan, der mit meinen echten Adressdaten via Fake-Profil seine eigene Ware bestellte.

    Gestern lag das Schrott-Amazon-„Geschenk“ dann vor meiner Tür.

    Aber warum tun die Händler das?

  18. Incroyable ! Fanny Klauk a eu la même idée de conférence que moi : "Rendez l'agilité aux Dave". J'irais bien refaire un touuur du côté de chez #Scrum. #AgileGrenoble #AG1974 #Vanina #agile #brushing #CoupeAuFishBol #Goudagile

  19. Woohoo!! I've joined the mysterious ranks of people receiving unordered packages from China, with no note or return address

    My offering is a grey sweater of some sort. Despite the crinkly and cheap plastic bag it comes in, the label says "fashion" 4 or 5 times so that has to mean something.

    Now.. Who's the lucky duck on my Christmas list that gets this delightful and fashionable pullover regifted to them..

  21. The most surprising part was the “spit it out, don’t rinse” advice in these.

    It finally explains what I thought was weird behavior in western films & TV-shows, when they show actors brushing their teeth.

  22. CW: Flossing tutorial 😅

    @[email protected]

    #world #tutorial #teeth #flossing #brushing

    I guess I'll do a flossing tutorial, since why not, eh?

    1. Gently clear out whatever's there with the floss
    2. Gently rub all sides of teeth with the floss quite a few times, and then a few more
    3. Do the hardest teeth first
    4. Be extra extra careful around the gums but make sure to get in there too

    I have the same strategy with brushing.

    With brushing, it's very important to do circular motions instead of across motions. Across motions can make your gums recede.

    Definitely not an expert at this though.
