A as non English native I can’t see Wyoming without pronouncing “mhamm mhaam” in my head… Holy fuck this is stupid.

Sorry to post a serious comment on a shit post, but just in case this is bugging anyone:

Turn the clock away from your bed. The anxiety from potentially not getting enough sleep can prevent you from falling asleep in a vicious cycle.

Sometimes people can even be sleeping for quite a while without realizing they had been sleeping, then just look at the clock and be like, oh no I lied here for another hour with no sleep, and feel even worse, and now ironically be unable to fall back asleep. If it’s bad enough sometimes people can even get what’s called paradoxical insomnia. Where the person will insist they hadn’t been sleeping or barely slept, even if you had them in a sleep lab with video and eeg and you show them they’ve been sleeping for hours (they aren’t trying to lie or anything, it’s an issue with perception of sleep amount and the perceived low amount then causing symptoms and distress).

Anyways, set that alarm, turn the clock away. Stop micro-calculating how much time until morning.

Description of paradoxical insomnia from a patient point of view if anyone’s interested:

You might wanna read up on wendigos before going down that path. I don’t think they’d make very good pets.

Just wait until you realize that’s all the workforce feels like too.

Toneswirly, in 🎵that's life🎵

Yeaaaah… that feeling never really goes away.

90s mascots were so random. Like why an owl with a graduation hat? He just graduated, so now he is wise, and can offer insight into lollipop licking? Was that his major?

mwproductions,

“Until the second half of the twentieth century, mortarboards were often worn by schoolteachers, and the hat remains an icon of the teaching profession.” [source]

So they weren’t saying that he just graduated, they were saying that he was learned (the tortoise even says, “he is the wisest of us all”).

AlligatorBlizzard,

And owls being symbolic of wisdom is at least as old as as the Greek gods - Athena’s symbolism included owls.

MBM,

Which is ironic because owls are pretty dumb

beizhia,
@beizhia@lemmy.world avatar

That’s how it used to be. You asked questions to people who were believed to be wise, and then their answer was what the truth was. And most of the things we “knew” were just wrong.

Not that it’s less complicated now…

jettrscga,

You’re focused on that? Why was the boy naked with only a tootsie pop, and talking to an owl?

Aunt Jemima doesn’t seem so bad now…

Menteros,

Aunt Jemima

Was never bad, woke asshole cancel everything they don’t understand.

“I was, I was taken aback. I was really shocked. I knew people didn’t realize that those were real people and, you know, to phase them out, would kind of erase their history,” Harris said.

‘She’s just not a character … I really want her legacy to be told. That this is a real person. And this was her recipe. And she fed the world from her flapjacks,” he said.

shiftymccool,

This is the truth, downvoters should be fucking ashamed. Her family didn’t think it was racist and protested her removal. Woke assholes made it happen and pat each other on the back for a job well done. Have some clue about what you’re protesting or get fucked SJWs!

I would hope so, GenZ would have seen that commercial growing up. Edit: Actually isn’t it still being aired?

ColeSloth,

I haven’t watched a TV commercial in probably over a decade, but I guess I kind of assumed that they were still showing these.

MaoZedongers, in 🎵that's life🎵

Don’t worry, it’s the same but worse for working full time

Asafum,

I just need to get through this… Forever.

Chocrates,

Every day is somehow worse than the one before.

na_th_an,

When I’m working full time I can afford food and heat. Way better than being in school.

MaoZedongers,

good joke

BottleOfAlkahest,

Where do you live that working full time guarantees someone enough money for food and heat?

betterdeadthanreddit, in Polish margarine for baking and frying.

I’m trying but it just starts to soften and deform instead of getting shiny like yours. How long did you have to polish it?

Blyfh,

Damn that got me. Well played.
