Have we just forgotten about the word “fewer” entirely at this point?

I’m not sure that applies here. Generally, when measuring something, you use less. Like I wouldn’t say , I just drank from my glass and it now has fewer waters in it. In this case, “natural ingredients” is a set of things that are being measured as a single “ingredient”. Like let’s say the natural ingredients are soot and berry juice. Would you say the paint has fewer or less soot and berry juice?

But then again language is all made up, the rules don’t matter, and you’re only truly wrong if the meaning is lost.

Underwaterbob ,

I can see that, but the plural “ingredients” still makes my gut say it should be fewer.

Drivebyhaiku ,

It depends on context. If you are dealing with a percentage of overall types of ingredients by volume without changing the variety of ingredients you would probably use “less”. Like if you reduced the mix of milk related ingredients. You would use “fewer” to indicate that the number of individual ingredients had changed. Like if they got rid of two of the ingredients of an original ten.

This could be a category error?

Underwaterbob ,

I guess it depends on if it is a case of there having had been 97 of 100 ingredients having been naturally derived and now only 91 of those ingredients are such. Which admittedly seems unlikely.

Drivebyhaiku ,

I mean it could be using the percentages of another number. Like if there’s 20 ingredients and you drop one it’s a 5% reduction or if you added other non natural ingredients that would cause the percentage to drop… But whether it’s less or fewer would depend on information we don’t readily have because we don’t know if it’s ingredients by volume or of it’s a reformulation of ingredients… and may be at the crux of this grammatical problem depending on what you assume is going on?

Muscar ,

It’s not 6 fewer ingredients, it’s 6% less of the total being naturally derived.

It’s hilarious that you made an even dumber error in a try at correcting.

Agent641 ,

Mine fewer?

makeshiftreaper , in my job has medicine that wakes you up if you've fainted

I react poorly to blood donation and have had these used on me, they are incredibly unpleasant. There’s no lasting harm, and they do work very well. Basically imagine a chemical burn throughout your nose, sinuses, and upper respiratory system that lasts 30 seconds. It works immediately and gets a very strong reaction

sbv ,

Huh. It sounds like TV had it right this time. I assumed smelling salts were a convenient plot device, rather than an actual thing.

I work in medicine and I have used these on people (and tried it once to see how it was) they’re very fucking strong. It’s like inhaling cat piss that’s on fire.

KittenBiscuits , (edited )

Can confirm. I also fainted once after donating blood. They used that stuff on me. The tv does get it right this time. It works very quickly, and is similar to getting a big whiff of ammonia. Pungent, sharp, yet kind of the same feeling like when your nose suddenly clears if you have a cold and can breathe again.

Edit: lol, I didn’t know they were actual ammonia. Go figure. I’m trying to not light up the room so scrolled past the image at first.

    Lmao Id like to see you try keeping your fingers clean when removing e-tape off cable and painting truss all day

    Your filthy fingernails are forgiven. It’s all in an honest day of hard work.

    It definitely looks like they were just doing a dirty job. I don’t know why you would assume that this is just the way they keep their hands.

    Don’t most first aid kits have smelling salts?

    yokonzo OP ,

    I’ve never seen them before, honestly I wasn’t even aware these were a thing

    I’ve never seen a first aid kid with smelling salts.

    Guest_User ,

    They should be in all first aid kits. Extremely long shelf lives, very stable and very useful.

    LifeOfChance ,

    Everywhere I’ve worked has them however everywhere I worked has high temp work environments where passing out from hest exhaustion happens. They’re always in the more expensive first aid kits though which I don’t think are required.

    SonicBlue03 , in my job has medicine that wakes you up if you've fainted

    A third party is required.

    ThePantser ,
    @ThePantser@lemmy.world avatar

    What’s the second party doing while the third wakes up the first?

    rockSlayer ,

    Well the real answer is that they should ensure only people actively helping are next to the person until paramedics arrive.

    More often they’re causing a bigger scene

    SonicBlue03 ,

    The third party swiftly rips open the second party to revive the first. Party on.

    yokonzo OP ,

    Holding them down maybe?

    You are showing them backwards - the NEW formulation is the one that says vegan. Did you buy the second one at Big Lots or something?

    No more shiny cap either.

    You need to turn on ambient occlusion. That should fix it.

    There’s a ton of evidence, thousands of years known, for a sphere-ish Earth. These missing shadows aren’t Team Globe though.

    Finally, I can use my shadow to judge where I’ll land in real life!

    rmuk ,

    I saw the Google Maps Streetview car earlier today. I can’t wait for my picture to be published so if I get lost I’ll be able to find myself on the map.

    I saw one once, but was never able to find any images taken that day. Maybe the driver was taking a break.
