Also known as Chud Syndrome

Subjects who have this are also known for carrying emotional support vehicles to accomodate their condition and an inability to give a fuck about anyone else. Also has the traits of racism, xenophobia and general intolerance. Seeks out others with condition to validate their behavior especially those in a place of power to vicariously live their hate and subjugate others through them.

Cures for this condition have all been unsuccessful. Scientific data was thought that a “reality check” would be enough, however tests results show that this makes the subject even more mentally unhinged and unwilling to listen. Those with Chud Syndrome brain rot are becoming more mentally unhinged at an alarming rate and are willingly choosing to unacknowledge reality around them and replace it with their alternative ideas that suit their comfortability (which usually lie around the idea of general intolerance) Subjects cannot execute critical thinking on their own and require a vessel, avatar or demigod to act on their behalf to create a false notion of an individualized personality

… Seeks enjoyment and validation as well by creating excessive and disruptive noise from their emotional support vehicles. Will purposely purchase aftermarket and sometimes illegal apparatuses to enhance the efficiency of this action.

Locally it’s become something of a… Idk what to even call it.

So we have a bunch of dudebros who have giant pickups with various combinations of lift kits, off-road tires, light bars (some with the protective plastic still hanging off) , “rolling coal” , and oversized exhaust mods. And obviously a good half of them have some form of truck nutz.

They gather every Thurs-sun night in a shopping center parking lot, never turn their engines or lights off, and often get into “loudness contests” to see who’s engine revs louder. They started drag racing behind the strip mall and only stopped when one dumbass crashed into a car dealership next door.

I started calling it the “tiny penis brigade” but apparently other people have started calling them the “tiny penis parade”.

I found this out when one night I was picking up some groceries and all the trucks were about 5 parking sections over, and their usual spot had a giant sign hanging from the light post “TINY PENIS PARADE PARKING ONLY, ALL OTHER WILL BE REVVED AT”

My truck has been mocked as I drive past because it’s “tiny” and “looks like shit”. Thank you for reminding me im making good financial choices by continuing to drive a functioning work vehicle that isn’t a hazard to everyone else on or near the road instead of buying a brand new oversized status symbol I can’t afford that statistically kills more people than sharks, lightning, and tipping vending machines combined.

On Mars you wouldn’t be able to have cabinets tall enough so that your cat can’t jump on them

myrrh,

…same as earth if your cats are siamese…

abbotsbury,
@abbotsbury@lemmy.world avatar

I wonder what the maximum size is of a celestial body which a cat could jump with escape velocity

cynar,

I got bored and was curious myself.

Assuming a cat can jump just over 2m (record is around 7’ apparently) then you have a launch velocity of around 6.5m/s. Plugging this in as an escape velocity works out to around a 1-2km diameter asteroid. Not huge, but not bad for a small animal.

My error bars are quite large, so it’s only an order of magnitude calculation.

abbotsbury,
@abbotsbury@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah thats not bad, assuming the asteroid is a perfect sphere, that comes out to a surface area of 12km^2^ for an interstellar cat colony that can move into orbit at will.

pete_the_cat, (edited )

The cabinet could be 20 feet tall and they’d still figure out how to get up there.

My parents have 4 cats and these ones are a lot different than all of the other cats we’ve had over the decades. My parents have a wall mounted cabinet where the bottom portion is about 5 feet off the ground and the top of it is about 8 feet off the ground. There’s about 6-9" between the top and the ceiling, and various decorations up there… The kitchen table is about a foot in front of it, at normal height, about 3-4 feet from the ground.

One day I noticed one of the cats was on top of the cabinet! That’s a good 6 foot jump at a steep angle (100°, 110°? I suck at Trig) and she didn’t move a single decoration!

corsicanguppy,

An 8 foot leap is no big deal.

pete_the_cat,

Vertically it is. That’s about 6-8x their body length.

Horizontally it’s nothing special.

Ohhh that’s one big eye with two eyelashes. I thought the brown character’s eye was their mouth, and their eyelashes were their eyes. I was very confused why someone would orient a face like that.

Is it really Thursday? Where is the dog when we need them most?

CluckN,

God just thinking about that dog makes me want to throw him into a hydraulic press that turns him into a frisbee that I can throw out to sea.

lawrence, (edited ) in Sleeping position

The correct way is to lie on your side, facing left. Because prevents gastric acid in esophagus.

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ea04aa8b-921c-4447-ae0c-2a1c30691382.png

edit for clarification: This method is efficient primarily when the lower esophageal sphincter (I had to Google the correct name) is not functioning as intended.

Vamakukshi – India’s post-lunch nap, always on your left side

feedum_sneedson,

I’m not falling for the Indian wisdom meme again until they fix their sanitation infrastructure and stop raping women to death on public transportation.

Uwu_im_toxic,

Wait, I’ve heard the opposite. Lay facing right to aid your stomach in digesting things and pushing it out of the stomach, instead of letting it lay in the stomach and potentially gurgle it’s way up

Gigan,
@Gigan@lemmy.world avatar

What’s wrong with gastric acid being in the esophagus? I sleep on my right-side a lot.

BangelaQuirkel,

It’s corroding you from within.

MedicPigBabySaver,

Most people don’t have issues with acid reflux. However, for those that do, it’s important to try to control acid reflux.

Dumbass DNA. Why make a human capable of eating a baconator if doing so melts your body from the inside.

If you melt yourself before you can pass on those dodgy genes of yours then the problem sorts itself out!

Already passed them on unfortunately

smeg,

Not living up to your username!

jadedwench,

Until you have woken up choking on acid that went in your lungs, you will not understand. I have EOE, and it really really sucks. I highly recommend not damaging your esophagus. I have spent years barely being able to eat without choking, though this latest round with the new doctor has been the best I have been in over a decade. Once your esophagus narrows to under 10mm, eating is a chore. Worst I ever got down to was 5mm. It was around ~7ish back in November…

I keep things under control pretty well, but I was always taught to sleep on my left side growing up if your stomach was upset or you were having trouble breathing if you were sick.

PrefersAwkward,
@PrefersAwkward@lemmy.world avatar

When will these bugs be fixed? I prefer to face to the right and would also like to be able to sleep on my stomach

iiGxC,

Some people have mirrored internal organs, so this advice may be the ophosite for you. But also, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, sleep however’s comfiest for you and lets you get the best sleep you can

brian,

I’ve heard people talk about mirrored organs, is that something that would be immediately obvious? Like surely every person that has the condition would know about it.

morphballganon,

Certainly not. It affects ~10% of the population, at least in certain countries. Not everyone has the privelege of a robust, accessible healthcare system.

brian,

Well I guess the obvious one to me is feeling a heartbeat. It seems like that would come up even outside of the medical field (schools, “playing doctor”, heck doing the pledge of allegiance if you’re in the US)

Every time I’ve seen it in a hospital TV show or whatever, it always seems to be a surprise…like they didn’t find out at birth but the first time they need some invaci

LinkOpensChest_wav,

I’d think so. You’d feel the urge to BM on the right rather than the left.

nom_nom,

I knew someone once who had this, she didn’t know until she got an x-ray as an adult. The doctor called in their colleagues to take a look at the scan because he’d never seen a real-life case before. She had her heart on the right side of her chest, was pretty interesting.

smeg,

How would you know?

brian,

I mean if I put my hand over my left then right side of my chest, it’s pretty clear which side my heart is on

smeg,

True, though isn’t the heart actually in the middle and it’s just asymmetric (with the big body-pumping side on the left)?

cm0002,

The GitHub human branch maintainer peaced out forever ago, all attempts to establish communications aren’t going so well and the issue tracker is piling up…so probably never

metallic_z3r0,

I mean if it’s abandonware it’s ethical to reverse engineer and open source the reverse engineered platform, maybe even fork it and provide some sort of extensible framework for various plugins, or convert the kernel to a new architecture or even virtualize it. Hopefully we can also work out the bugs and the more glaring issues soon (looking at you, upright vertebrae).

cm0002,

We’re working on it, but the mf was on something, have you seen the digestive system class? Or the central nervous system class?

KSPAtlas,
@KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz avatar

I’ve heard some people managed to reverse engineer the human, though right now people are trying to figure out whether using a modded version is considered OP

DragonTypeWyvern,

That’s why you need to open source and freely distribute the mod.

EvilHankVenture,

They decompiled the human, it doesn’t mean they understand the code enough to mod it yet.

ininewcrow,
@ininewcrow@lemmy.ca avatar

Instead of modding, I know a few hackers that have removed whole sections to delete non functioning parts and I know a few others who figured out how to swap parts between different units.

Pika,

Unfortunately I heard they forked it to the AI/ automation branch so I don’t think that the original maintainers coming back. They’re calling it the new best thing

This woman is dead. Her stomach is coming out of her body and her arms are under her esophagus

creditCrazy,
@creditCrazy@lemmy.world avatar

I’m curious how accurate this is considering there’s rarely ever air in your stomach so what is the point when it’s effectively vacuum sealed.

Jerb322,
@Jerb322@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve got gas in my stomach somewhat frequently…

thefartographer,

Have I got a solution for you!

djsoren19,

Nah, if your stomach is acidic enough you can feel it. I finally caved and got a plush incline so that gravity keeps the bile down regardless of which side I sleep on, and I still usually favor sleeping on my left due to habits from before.

jetpackbarry,

can confirm. As someone with acid reflux, sleeping facing right is hell

Chainweasel,

Isn’t it fun when you go to sleep on your left side and roll over in your sleep, only to wake up in the middle of the night sick and ready to vomit from heartburn? It’s like my body is actively working against me when I sleep.

MotoAsh,

Weird. I have to sleep on my right side or else my stomach gets upset.

LinkOpensChest_wav,

I’ve always been a left side sleeper, so this makes me feel happy

perishthethought,

Same. Yay us. For once my random behaviors are correct without even knowing it. :)

LinkOpensChest_wav,

Occasionally, I bumble my way into a good life decision!

Zagorath,

facing left

On your left side. Whether that’s “facing left” or “facing right” depends on whether you’re comparing it to being on your front or on your back. Personally, I instinctively compared it to front, which would mean being on your left is facing to the right.

So the way to be clear and unambiguous is to say which side of your body you’re referring to.

Anarki_,

But your left hand is always the left one. It’s relative to you, not to your direction.

Zagorath,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

your left hand is always the left one. It’s relative to you, not to your direction

Right. That’s my point. That’s why I proposed using terminology that relates only to you, as opposed to the necessarily external language of the parent comment which used “facing”.

SeabassDan,

It’s your left, not the left of the dude living in your attic peeping down at you.

Zagorath,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

Yes, but to know what is your left, one first needs to establish what is their forward. If you were previously on your front (which is itself not an uncommon sleeping position), “turn to face left” will put them lying on their right side.

This stuff really isn’t rocket science. I’m genuinely surprised to be getting push back here. If the goal is to tell people to lay on their left side, that’s what should be said. Not “facing left”, which doesn’t convey the same meaning.

edgemaster72,
@edgemaster72@lemmy.world avatar

You sleep on your left side to avoid gastric acid in the esophagus.

I sleep on my left side because sleeping on the right side angers up my sciatica.

We are not the same.

poppy,

Conversely, sleeping on your side isn’t very good for a lot of your joints. For instance in your diagram, that position is very bad for her hips and compressing her lungs. I still sleep on my side because it’s my preferred position but I have to have a knee pillow to keep my hips and knees aligned, and I try to have a pillow hugged to my chest to keep my spine and shoulders from crunching lol.

thefartographer, (edited )

False. The correct way to sleep is on a 7-11 sausage roller set to high speed.

  • The heat lamp creates warmth which you normally substitute with a dangerous choking blanket
  • the high-speed spinning flings off your sweat to keep you cool using Bernoulli’s Principle instead of energy-hungry and dangerous fans or AC units
  • the constant flow of vomit and other effluvia helps you maintain a healthy figure instead of ridiculously augmenting your life with the high-risk activity of “exercise.”
