idk, but maybe cause your comment implies that this post has a political agenda instead of just being shared because it’s a legitimately mildly infuriating issue

You’re being downvoted because your comment is barely relevant, the only thing linking your comment and this video is the word gym
In an acid base reaction, yes it does. An acid donates a proton, a base accepts a proton. The less acidic compound will accept the proton, making it the base. Acting as a base does not make it alkaline.
Correct, the acid base reaction itself does not cause bubbling. However, baking soda and vinegar are not the only compounds that react to form CO2 (or another gas) in an acid base reaction.
Looking at the components of ear wax reveal it’s composed of a wide variety of different compounds. It’s been a while since I took o chem, so I’m not up to the task of determining which of these components are or are not capable of producing CO2 (or any other gas) in an acid base reaction with acetic acid. Do you have a source detailing these possible chemical reactions?
ETA: The people in this thread are so eager to shut down misinformation that they are actively spreading misinformation that would be rapidly disproven in any gen chem college course. I’ve learned my lesson on trying to share cool chemistry facts with internet strangers.
OPs doctor recommended it
I’m looking at the full text, can’t find the word buffer anywhere on the page, all I can find is they used 2% acetic acid rather than 5%. Did you mean diluted?
people really trust a rando lemmy comment over the research that is directly in their face, and are ignoring the fact that this was recommended by your doctor lol
Yes! Earwax is slightly acidic (~6.1 pH) while acetic acid is more acidic (5% vinegar is ~2.5 pH) so the earwax acts as a base in this reaction.
ETA: there may be other things it is reacting with as well, like leftover soap, but this is how acid base reactions work. A chemical does not need to be above pH of 7 to act as a base. The more acidic compound will give its extra hydrogen to the less acidic compound.

as my dad would say, “you’d complain if you’s hung with a new rope”
Shrinking (Apple TV) has so much of this
where is the humor in this anecdote?
I just got to the sex scene with Shadowheart. Her white hair turned back to black for the cutscene lol
Pink Floyd, at ~7,000 minutes. My dad was in the top 0.05% of listeners globally, with a total of ~154,000 minutes. He was in the top 0.005% of Pink Floyd listeners at ~28,000 minutes.
this is just an ad
am a girl
get very greasy and acne riddled during puberty
very much not pretty
have embarrassing moments when my period surprised me, bled through my pants onto seats several times
get severely debilitating cramps and have to stick cotton up there several times a day for a week every month
have to deal with this every month for another ~30 years
then get to look forward to menopause
yea wtf is his problem
Also I like long noses and hooked noses, I think they look cool and give character, my husband has one hell of a nose. Women can get hooked/long noses too.
The litter I recommended does clump, not sure about crystal litter.
so what is a soy wojak?
