Very cute!

It’d be the opposite of this. If 1 in 10 people is missing 1 limb, the average would be 3.9 limbs (39 limbs divided by 10 people). If you arranged everyone by limb count, the 5th and 6th person both have 4 limbs, which would be the median.

There was a time when we thought the movie Iron Sky was a satirical comedy. We may end up with Nazis colonizing space after all…

I’ll spontaneously combust any day now, I’m sure of it!

Hi, everybody!

Did you go to Hollywood Upstairs Medical College, too?

Have you felt this way before? Are you stressed or tired? The short of it is you probably want to mention it to your doctor. You might be starting to show signs of a couple issues, including schizophrenia.

Here’s the google ai answer about possible causes, so take this with a grain of salt: “Feeling a presence in the room” is commonly referred to as a “felt presence” in psychology, which means experiencing the sensation that someone else is in the room with you, even though there is no physical evidence of another person being present; it’s essentially a psychological phenomenon where you feel like someone is there without seeing or hearing them.

Key points about felt presence:

• Not a hallucination:

  While it might feel like a hallucination, a felt presence isn’t considered one because it’s not experienced through the five senses, but rather as a general feeling.

• Possible causes:

  • Stress or anxiety: Extreme stress or anxiety can trigger the feeling of a presence.
  • Grief or bereavement: People often report feeling a presence of a deceased loved one.
  • Sleep deprivation: When falling asleep or waking up, the brain can sometimes create this sensation.
  • Neurological conditions: Certain neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease or epilepsy can also lead to felt presence experiences.
  • Mental health conditions: Individuals with psychosis or schizophrenia may experience frequent felt presences.

What to do if you experience a felt presence:

• Assess your mental state:

  Consider if you are under significant stress, experiencing grief, or having sleep disturbances which could be contributing to the feeling.

• Relaxation techniques:

  Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation to manage anxiety.

• Seek professional help:

  If the feeling is persistent, distressing, or accompanied by other symptoms, consult a mental health professional to explore potential underlying causes.

It’s simple! Feed a man for a day and he’ll just be hungry tomorrow… Starve a man to death and he’ll never need to eat again!

This could also be the baader-meinhof phenomenon (also known as the frequency illusion)

Does Lemmy have its own r/MarijuanaEnthusiasts sub equivalent?

It was the final straw?

• Are you on any medications? It could be a side effect to one of them.
• Do you have depression?
• Are you getting enough sleep? Do you have sleep apnea?
• Did you have Covid or any other illnesses?
• Do you consume cannabis?

There’s a lot of unknowns. A doctor should be able to help you narrow them down

I wouldn’t have thought so either, but here we are…

To me, it looks like it’s using perspective. The skull is a normal sized one, but closer to the camera than the guy is. It’s the same trick that Peter Jackson used to shoot Lord of the Rings for all of the size differences between people.

What was the common thread from when you met the person? How did you hit it off with them?

If you met at a bar, text them later asking if they’ve been to a certain brewery that just opened up (although this could sound like a soft invite to go there, so be prepared for that). If you connected about movies, tv shows, or music, ask them if they saw that new movie (show, album) that’s related to whatever you talked about (same director, sense of humor, style of movie, etc). Basically, just continue the conversation with them. Talk about related things and start to branch out, maybe you’ll find other common interests and things to talk about. You can send an article that you think they’d be interested in. Or a meme about their job.

But make sure that the conversation isn’t one sided. If you’re always the one starting the conversation or carrying it, maybe back off some. They should be just as engaged as you are.
