    Just because people stick cotton swabs in their ears doesn’t mean that they’re supposed to be used for that.

      Oh, I see, so you must pronounce GIFs as ‘JIFs’ then?

        You really shouldn’t stick cotton swabs inside your ear holes. They’re not even that great at cleaning them out.

              You’re right, and people use q-tips to clean their ears.

              What the creator intends does not matter, at all.

                But being fit for use does matter though.

                Cotton swabs pick up portions of ear wax, so it might make you feel happy, but they often push wax deeper which can lead to impacting.

                Upvote/downvote based solely on agree/disagree may make you feel good for getting a little colour to match your opinion, but it doesn’t result in good conversation or better content on Lemmy.
