so awesome how there's an animal called a gooey duck & it's spelled geoduck for some reason & it's a humongous clam for some reason

i really need to shake some people and say “being passive in every situation does not mean you are not making active choices and it does not absolve you from harming others. consistently choosing to do nothing in every situation and believing that you couldn’t have possibly been the problem because you chose inaction and not a more agressive approach can in fact also be harmful.” because this keeps happening and its driving me nuts

Gaga couldve just said lets have some fun this beat is sick i wanna take a ride on your penis dick. But she went with disco stick because shes a what? poet.

sometimes a woman or nonbinary person will get into a relationship with a bare-minimum man after a string of experiences with actively malicious men, and the comparative upgrade is so shocking that she instantly becomes obsessed with her loser caveman boyfriend and starts centering the entirety of her life around him and his wants. I feel like this phenomenon is common enough that we need a term for it. I nominate "jakeyfication"

insane that we aren't taught about sleep in school. like 75% of people in my country report poor sleep and we don't spend one biology class learning about it? here's what I've learnt from a variety of sleep courses:

TL;DR: DON'T LISTEN TO THE FEARMONGERS! poor sleep isn't killing you it's okay to miss some sleep! just make sure you're resting when tired and trying to stick to a routine of night time rest

Alright, called out by @felis-pepo. Let's fact check! First off, here's a really good all-rounder article on sleep (it has charts!). Definitely true: Alcohol does not do good things for sleep. It's important to keep a regular sleep schedule (scroll to "Stick to a sleep schedule"). That link also covers "do something else" as an option if you can't sleep. Missing sleep is bad, but yes, you will likely recovery just fine with additional regular sleep (not oversleeping).

REM sleep is a bit more complicated than stated above. You cycle through 3 stages of non-REM sleep, then REM, which is where you dream. You'll generally do this multiple times a night. I saw several mentions of waking up briefly at the end of REM, though not anything detailed so we'll call the waking up several times a night a solid maybe.

The evidence for meditation as an alternative to sleep seems very slim (one study of ~100 entrepreneurs??) but there does seem to be decent research that mindfulness meditation can help generally if you suffer from sleeplessness. Certainly it's not going to harm you if you try meditating when you can't sleep. Can't find anything clearly about acceptance to alleviate insomnia, though it does make sense. Additional stress about not sleeping is unlikely to help you sleep! In looking, I did find a smaller study that suggests acceptance and commitment therapy OR cognitive behavioral therapy are both effective in treating insomnia.

I'm seeing a few mentions of the first hours being critical for tissue growth and repair, but I haven't found anything stated as solidly as the first point.

As always, I encourage anyone reading this to double-check my work and provide additional or contradictory sources! I am not a professional scientist or researcher, just a guy who really likes reading studies. :)

it’s funny bc milk does actually come from a creature

evidence? 

your mom told me lol. boys, waste this numbnuts

my cherios spelled out my exact address this morning but like what the gudge ever i gobbled those honey nut freaks up and licked the bowl too

The reason your snacks are unsatisfying is that you need both carb and protein.

Carb starts your engine, protein keeps it going.

No carb, engine don’t start. No protein, engine dies out fast.

Easy carb add on:

Easy protein add on:

Sugar in there.

I am pleased by people messaging me telling me that after adding a carb or protein to their snacks or meals they feel more satisfied all day. Yes, my plan is working. People are getting through their days with less hangry.

We really went from "free the nipple" to "um the public didn't consent to you wearing a choker"

have you noticed that everything depends on various factors
