It’s simple, you just have to remind yourself of the difference between the words ‘give’ and ‘take’ a shit. You have to observe the direction of transaction, are you giving or taking?
And if you’re taking a shit, well where the hell are you taking it to, and why? 🤔
It’s known that sneezing is a reflex to prevent dust or nose hairs or whatever from getting down into the lungs, but why do people and animals sometimes get hiccups? What function does that serve, and what causes them?...
I hear you there about having to regularly purchase blades for the more modern razors, but have you considered trying a safety razor? I use one regularly, and not only are the blades super cheap, they’ll also last you quite a long time if properly cleaned and dried off right after each use.
Actually, usually when I get hiccups, I can also feel and hear fluids and gasses sloshing around somewhere inside me, and part of me absolutely wishes I could burp during those times.
Keep in mind, they say the human intestines are something like 27 feet long, and are packed in there as mostly a random mess of a ‘knot’, so to speak. So just because you happen to have gasses somewhere in your belly doesn’t always mean the gas is immediately in a spot ready to go either way up or down.
I never said it helped in any way, as a matter of fact the experience is absolutely miserable and painful when it happens that way. Not like hiccupping is a voluntary reflex ya know, just saying that having trapped gasses in my belly tends to trigger it sometimes.
When that happens to me, the best thing I can do to try to help is to lay down, and occasionally roll over on my left and right sides, until the gas finally finds it’s way out, usually via burping.
But yeah, these reflexes aren’t exactly voluntary.
From my understanding, that’s actually what causes mammals to yawn. No idea why it seems ‘contagious’ though, obviously yawning is more of a voluntary reflex. So why is it that if you see someone else yawn, you’re likely to also yawn? 🤷♂️
Well, although the safety razor mechanism itself tends to cost quite a bit more than conventional modern razors, the blades for safety razors are far cheaper, last a lot longer, and are easy to clean and take care of.
Modern razor cartridges are more expensive, clog up with hair a lot faster, and are actually designed to be thrown away after just a use or two. That’s where they’re making their money these days, selling disposable cartridges.
On the other hand, I can get a pack of 5 double edge safety blades from Dollar Tree, and as long as I keep it clean and dry after each use, just one blade can last me a whole year or even more!
But anyways, that’s been my experience with them anyways. I’ll admit that I don’t shave every day though, so here’s a review video about safety razors…
I love the idea of a privacy-focused fronend for YouTube, but every time I visit a piped link, it just spins forever. Both on my Linux desktop and my Android phone....
I used to use NewPipe, but there’s a new mobile app on the block from FUTO called Grayjay. You really should check it out, it’s even more flexible and also loads and runs faster than NewPipe.
Check their ‘Our Three Pledges’, particularly the third one regarding open source…
Quoted from their site, pledge #3
“We will always be transparently devoted to making delightful software. All FUTO-funded projects are expected to be open-source or develop a plan to eventually become so. No effort will ever be taken to hide from the people what their computers are doing, to limit how they use them, or to modify their behavior through their software.”
No no, I mean he’s talking into the top of the phone, perhaps where the loudspeaker microphone might happen to be, totally depends on the model of phone/tablet though.
They got multiple microphones these days, not just the one at the bottom of the phone. Put it in loudspeaker mode and it uses a different microphone away from the bottom speaker.
Any which way, if you turn the phone upside down in portrait orientation, the screen won’t flip 180⁰, because ‘smart’ phones are too stupid to do that.
Edit: My comment is in jest, but at the same time I have to talk into the left side of my tablet, because thats where the main microphone is.
If you’re running on auxiliary power, you should eat the phone by now and conserve your calories. Make sure to boil your urine though. Stay safe, if you need assistance you can always call [redacted].

Do hiccups serve any actual useful biological function?

Why don't public restroom stalls have OPEN/OCCUPIED indicators like porta potties do?
I hate peaking under the stalls or knocking doors to figure it out. The answer is so simple.
