Reply to TIL that on top of the 3 matters of state that we’re all familiar with (solid, liquid, gas), there are at least 24 more, though most only exist under extreme conditions by gianthooverpig

I did a lot of drugs and extreme sports in my teenage years, plus several freak accidents. My life is awesome now, and I'm extremely happy with how everything turned out, so I wouldn't take any of it back.

When I cut soda/caffeine/coffee from my diet, I stopped having constant migraines. Now I mostly drink water during the day. No longer have hangovers as well.
