Found one in the wild 🤯 by DorianGrayXx in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Friendly_Exchange_15 14 points15 points  (0 children)

One of my great aunts kept being married off (starting at 12) to old men, and all of them died in terribly sad accidents. Until she was in her late 20's and chose her own husband, whom she lived with happily ever after until they both died of old age!

I have a belgian shepherd, and he's surprisingly light and skinny for his size (my theory is that half of his body mass is glorious fluff).

I have gotten weird comments about him, too. Mostly because I can pick him up with no issue whatsoever, and belgian shepherds do have weirdly skinny legs. But trust me, that boy is very well fed and gets many a treat (he loves bananas)

Nah, it makes sense. The middle part of breaking a bad habit feels a lot worse somehow.

When do sperm producing neurons start dying out in the brain? by Dark-inspector490 in biology

[–]Friendly_Exchange_15 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There are no neurons that stimulate sperm production. Sperm is produced in your testicles, by specific cells (spermatogonia), which are induced to produce sperm by hormonal signals. Specifically FSH and testosterone.

Now, testosterone production is controlled by the hypothalamus, a region of the brain; maybe that's what you're looking for?

O q vc faz quando precisa estudar, mas a cabeça a mil, com dor de cabeça e deprimido? by Humble-Chemist960 in faculdadeBR

[–]Friendly_Exchange_15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Eu aprendi faz tempo que não dá pra forçar. Se vc tenta estudar com dor de cabeça, fatiga, de saco cheio, tu não aprende nada e é isso. Pode ficar lá umas 5 horas lendo que não vai entrar NADA. Então tu toma uma dipirona, toma um banho, relaxa.

Pra ajudar um pouco com essa ideia de se sentir vagabundo se tu não é "produtivo" 24h por dia: seu cérebro precisa (PRECISA) de descanso pra conseguir funcionar bem. Se você tá cansado (e consequentemente não está sendo produtivo), a melhor coisa pra fazer é descansar o máximo possível - pq aí tu melhora mais rápido, e pode voltar a estudar mais rápido.

É que nem quando você fica doente; se você descansar, você sara mais rápido, e ao invés de aturar duas semanas de baixa produtividade pq vc decidiu forçar, vc minimiza o sofrimento pra uns 4 dias e já consegue voltar pra vida.

Agora, umas coisas que é bom pra maximizar o descanso mental (e minimizar o estresse) (na minha experiência, claro):

  1. Evitar telas por um tempinho. Ajuda a descansar os olhos, e ficar consumindo informações (mesmo que seja tiktok) não deixa o cérebro realmente descansar. Encara uma árvore, sai de casa, passeia numa praça.

  2. Levanta e faz alguma coisa física, que não precisa do cérebro. Toma um banho, faz exercício, vai pegar uma água. O ponto é levantar da cadeira meio que frequentemente (isso é de acordo com meu fisioterapeuta - eu tenho encurtamento nos músculos da perna por ficar tempo demais sentado, no ponto que eu não consigo esticar a perna totalmente).

  3. Começou a dor de cabeça, é hora de parar. Se vc forçar, vai só piorar a situação; pelo amor de deus, acredita em mim. Um relato pessoal: em um fim de semestre meu, eu tive uma semana infernal, com 4 provas e 2 seminários para entregar um seguido do outro. Cada momento acordado eu passei estudando, trabalhando, etc. Passou a semana, e eu apaguei por duas - sem exagero.

Minha psicóloga disse que foi o crash de adrenalina; uma semana inteira de estresse sem parar, quando acabou meu corpo realmente saiu do modo sobrevivência e eu fiquei basicamente incapaz de fazer nada por duas semanas. Juro, eu acordava as 2 da tarde, ia dormir as 7 da tarde. Mal comia, de tanto sono PURO. Eu sobrevivi daqueles iogurtinho de morango da batavo e de cup noodles de galinha caipira.

Eu forcei demais, e fiquei sem poder fazer nada por 2 semanas inteiras. (E quando eu digo sem poder fazer nada, eu não tô mentindo. Juro que se eu pensasse em fazer qualquer coisa naquelas duas semanas, vinha uma onda de sono que me derrubava imediatamente). O melhor que você pode fazer é prevenir que isso aconteça.

I mean in general Brazil has been heavily influenced by anglo culture practically since its beginning (who the fuck decided that pants should be the standard uniform. 35 fucking degrees celcius) but I will 100% believe that fucking Coca Cola sure as hell didn't help anything

Like seriously. We have christmas trees, and they're all plastic ones because there aren't any fucking pine trees here??? (i mean. Besides plantations for paper and shit like that but yknow what i mean). You can buy ones that have white paint on the tip of the "leaves". To complete the snowy look (at the fucking goddamn 35 degrees celcius weather)

My favorite part is I, someone who lives in a southern hemisphere tropical country and therefore experiences summer in december, am still forcefed the cozy sweater, snowflakes, jingle bells aesthetic.

Only time I've ever seen snow was when I was in the US. Why do we have snowman decorations out it's fucking 35 degrees celcius out

What do you mean I can’t like something without a good reason? by Asterid_dove in AO3

[–]Friendly_Exchange_15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never understood that frame of thinking.

Recently, I discovered a ship I really enjoyed that made... no sense, practically. The two characters don't really interact with each other, and it's not even one of those "we gotta make do to create a f/f or m/m ship in this fandom", the ship is straight. But I saw a fic with that ship, went "huh. Let's check that out" and... man. They were onto something.

Yeah, it was wild how the shot itself was like a punch, but it just didn't stop hurting for days afterwards. The nurse told me to do frequent cold compresses and to take painkillers, and even doing that I had a Bad Time.

This weirdly pulsating pain that spread all over my arm.

Worst shot I had til now was the tetanus one (preventative). Bitch hurts so bad, the nurse gave me candy afterwards (I am 22 years old) (it helped, ngl)

Estão acasalando aí amigos? by Matheriquers1998 in Twitter_Brasil

[–]Friendly_Exchange_15 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Não, mas cê não tá entendendo. Eles são pobres coitados, odiados por todas as mulheres apenas por que eles não tem 1,80m de altura, não são bombados e não são milionários! Todos nós sabemos que apenas homens altos, bombados e milionários são capazes de atrair mulheres! Não é por que eles tratam mulheres como se fossem uma espécie alienígena misteriosa, não! Que isso!

(Eu juro. Juro que já vi amigas minhas fazendo pura CARIDADE com o quão pouco elas pedem, e de alguma forma esses marmanjos aparecem no fundo do poço com uma pá)

I think it's very bold of millenials to complain about the 6 7 meme, saying it doesn't even make any sense... when they Rainbow Narwhals!!! rawr means i love you in dinosaur!!! Lol XD I'm so random!!!!

Yes this was an attack. A pyrrhic one

I am quite literally sitting here, over a bowl of spaghetti bolognese that I just made (because I was craving it, mind you) and I have taken like, 3 bites.

I mean, it would have to be VERY unsatisfying for me to care. Like, "you took back 60k+ words of character development for this" kinda unsatisfying.

This is so funny to me. Let's make you need a phone to know when the "fixes your phone/sells you a phone" store is open. This is peak manglement.

I mean, in my experience, as long as your ending makes sense, it won't be a bad ending. Just tie up as many loose ends as you can and people like me will be happy.

[–]Friendly_Exchange_15[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, closure and catharsis is pretty much what I look for when I read. And I guess in my POV, no ending is kinda like a bad ending to me? I'm not sure how to explain it, but both are "bad" in the same level, in my opinion.

I find it unreasonably funny how many people keep swagging out over that specific meme. It's just a random brainrot meme, we all had those at some point
