A while back, I remember you talking about a toothbrush that was so good you almost didn't need to floss? Do you remember what toothbrush it was? Thank you!
Oh sure! Although you may be slightly misremembering, I've definitely posted about that.
For context, as with many people with ADHD I have trouble managing dental hygiene, and while I usually manage to brush twice a day, flossing is beyond me. Especially because I also have unusually sensitive gums -- I've had dentists in the past who were like "Yeah, I can see why you don't floss." There are some people for whom the whole "if you floss regularly it'll toughen your gums" thing simply isn't true. (It's...possible that's true for everyone, there have been very few actual studies with good data on the efficacy and impact of flossing.)
My current dentist recommended that if I wasn't going to floss, I should get an electric toothbrush -- she said any electric toothbrush is at least better than only manual brushing without flossing, but the Phillips Sonicare is the one she recommended. She said that using the Sonicare, as long as you use it for at least two minutes solid and make sure you hit your gumlines, was almost as good as flossing.
I think it's a great indication of how people who struggle with certain tasks and also the medical professionals treating them can sometimes focus so hard on what you ought to be doing that they miss what you are capable of doing -- sure it would probably actually be best if I flossed, but since that's not really on the table, my dentist and I chose to seek almost-as-good alternatives rather than just go back into the cycle of "I don't floss and you scold me for it" which dominated the first 35 years or so of my life. It's one of those perfect is the enemy of good things, where your options seem to be "success or failure" but are actually "success, moderate improvement, or failure".

This is the only show where I DON’T CRINGE at a character flossing
Tumblr media
That’s only because they murder him for committing such a sin to culture. That’s the funny part about it. Don’t floss kids. The world will drop a block on your head.

I was flossing my teeth and the floss kept breaking off and shedding and getting stuck between my teeth. The more I kept trying to floss the other bits out, the more I added them in. I could feel the texture vividly. I hated it.

This is your friendly neighborhood Spiderman here to remind you that flossing actually makes a difference. I've been flossing A LOT more (not every day yet, but like 5 times a week) and I'm at the dentist today and my gums hurt a lot less and there's a lot less inflammation and bleeding.
I had been telling people that getting a tattoo didn't hurt any more than going to the dentist and I didn't know if it said more about my pain tolerance or dental hygiene. Turns out it was my dental hygiene.
Who knew?

Let's say that the Percy Jackson show does take place when the books do, then does that mean that Percy could have been the one to start flossing and he taught it to other campers?

Hyper Specific Polls: they are polls, and they are pretty specific
Forget fidget spinners, Flossing, The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, Heelys, The Mannequin Challenge, Gangnam Style, and Avocado Toast. This is the latest fad. It's so on-trend, everyone is doing it. You wouldn't want to be the one not doing it, would you? It would be social suicide. More important still you must let everyone know that you are doing it, at least post about it, for goodness sake, lest you be in on the trend but unaware to the similarly on-trend masses. If a fidget spins in the forest, but no one is there to know, has it really spun? After all, if everyone is in on it, who are we to argue? When it comes down to everyone vs. not everyone, there can only ever be one winner. So you're either with us or against us, and the choice is yours. Because when everyone is casting their minds back to the Halcyon days of Late-April 2023, they will reminisce on one thing, and one thing only: #hyper specific polls. 
So if you're looking to get down with the kids or, like Principal Skinner, fretting that you may be falling out of touch, we have the answer. And it's very simple: you've just got to load up a post, select polls, and get hyper specific with it. Voila! Taco eating? Middle names beginning with E? Severe allergies to stone fruits? Taxidermy? Beating old schoolmates with purses? Going to Colorado? No subject is off limits. And now you too are a hallowed member of the masses of Everyone.
