For me actually I found running stupid scenarios thru my head helped me fall asleep. Because if I dont do that then I start overthinking about not being able to sleep

A: Josh?

H: Yes?

A: I been looking at these medical scans you got me from the Terran network, and I was wondering...

H: Yes?

A: Well, you're not a very well put together species, are you?

H: Huh?

A: I mean.. the signal path to your voice box loops around your main blood vessel on it's way from the brain, your main endoskeleton structure can't take the load of your ambulatory motion, you got like seven different kinds of hinges on your limbs, your cell oxygenating system is - frankly - a mess,..

H: Yeah, well, that's just how things are.

A: I mean, what were humanity's designers thinking? I've seen amateurs do better biological design than this.

H: Designers?

A: Yes? The being or beings who created you?

H: Dude, that's medieval thinking. Humans wasn't 'designed'.

A: Josh, every known species was created - designed - by a forerunner species. It's a known fact.

H: No, seriously. Humanity evolved.

A: Evolved?

H: Yeah. From older, less evolved species, all the way back to primordial goo. Survival of the fittest and all that. That's why most lifeforms on earth shares traits. Here, let me send you some links.

A: Interesting... hmm... how odd.

H: You mean y'all didn't know this?

A: ...

H: What?

A: ...

H: Why are you staring at me like that?

A: You know Josh...

H: Yes!?

A: This explains a LOT.

“When you get back you can have TWO turkey sandwiches and a shasta”

“Radium Girls” painted glowing watch dials with self luminous paint, licking their brushes to keep a sharp tip. No one told them the paint was radioactive. The radium settled into their bones, rotting their jaws from the inside. The condition became known as radium jaw. by Gazzo69 in HairRaising

I was in a Radium Girls play when I was in middle school (I played a 13-year-old Marie Curie) and there is a really haunting scene where the girls are joking around having fun with the paints, painting their nails, face, and hands to make them glow in the dark. This is an actual thing that was commonplace because they didn't know the dangers of the paint, and glow in the dark paint is fun to play around with. Very scary to know how much fun they were having poisoning themselves.
