It also rarely works for any paper/article older than 20 years.

Heck, my sister’s asked me to get papers she’s co-authored off of scihub for her, and those have been published within the last 10 years

Check your local council’s advice, they will have written rules for what they require; for mine as long as it isn’t caked in food they’ll take it

How do you deal with any other languages aside from English? Even if a product is destined for an English only market (which let’s be honest are basically small toys with English on them and English language books), anyone manufacturing will likely be using components manufactured in multiple different countries, with different languages and different ways of structuring names etc.

This is basically how you used to get Chinglish names and instructions for stuff on cheap products from China

If you want to see the outcome of what your currently suggesting, lookup longest car names, there’s a lot more English in them, as well as abbreviations yet they’re still a mess to understand/interpret from a layman’s perspective

To add to this, it’s a hell of a lot easier to cross language barriers with the the alphanumeric product name than it is with the English name, which only works for English and would need accurately translating for every language&product for every region you want to buy/sell in.

It would be an absolute nightmare to try for every product that’s sold in multiple regions, etc

I’m gonna be frank with you friend, it sounds like you’re experiencing something close to a manic episode.

When was the last time you ate/drank water and slept?

Have you recently consumed any drugs/substances which may have brought on this feeling?

How long have you been feeling like this?

Do you have someone you can communicate the way you’re feeling to in person that can go with you to get checked out if needs be?

Changes in the psyche such as feeling oneself is God or Jesus is normally a sign that you want to get something checked out, you’re probably right that if there is a God they would be incomprehensible/ineffable, which also means that you’re probably not God.

Don’t worry this is almost certainly not your new permanent state; it’s likely that your neurochemistry has gone a little bit out of wack and you probably need some rest possibly to see a doctor as they can help work out what’s going on.

The most useful phrase I have found for coping with any difficulties with how I’m feeling, both in terms of mood and when having a difficult time after taking a psychedelic is:

“This too shall pass”, it’s a useful phrase for bringing you up when you feel down, and to keep your ego in check when you feel like your on top of the world.

If you can pee on that without spilling then you have much greater control than I, haha

This guy gets why I was initially misunderstanding

Lmao, the false outrage over me not knowing that they use the same form factor for more than one test…

I’d only ever come across it for COVID tests, the only pregnancy tests I’ve interacted with/seen advertised have been the stick versions.

The UK COVID test were all using this plastic moulding (minus the embossed letters) and I’ve never seen a pregnancy test that wasn’t a stick that you pee on?

And if you’re aware that it says hCG (which I admittedly missed before commenting), then I think you answered your own question…

If this isn’t a joke; this looks like a COVID test to me…

Edit: TIL they use that form factor for other tests/and that not all modern pregnancy tests are sticks that you pee on…

Silly suggestion, and no idea if it will work, but it’s an easy one to test;

Get some cooking/vegetable oil, and see if it will help dissolve the residue by putting a bit on some kitchen towel and either scrubbing with the oiled paper towel or leaving that towel on the residue for 10 mins and seeing if the grease has softened.

If the oil does seem to dissolve/soften the grease residue then you can add some bicarb/salt to act as gentle abrasive as it won’t dissolve in the oil as it would do in water

I’ve used cooking oil to dissolve tar/bitumen paint from my skin and clothes before and you can then use soap to clear the dissolved tar in oil.

Otherwise use a kitchen degreaser like you’d clean a traditional oven with.

I imagine what’s happening with the oil is something akin to polymerization, so you either need to break the polymers bonds or dissolve in a suitable solvent
