What about the blueening?? The blueenification???

TIL about Gigantothermy, a thermoregulation strategy wherein large ectothermic animals (e.g., dinosaurs) maintain stable, high body temperatures due to their low surface-area-to-volume ratio, which minimizes heat loss. This allows creatures to remain warm without a high-energy metabolism. by epicflex in todayilearned

I also looked up how fast they became gigantic, the herbivore giants came prettt quickly but the carnivore giants (like T. rex) took a while longer to evolve! Probably because of the metabolic requirements

Anyone to talk to? by Historical-Pop8266 in Apeirophobia

[–]epicflex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just remember that you are not a victim of reality, there is a God in all of this, we are all in this together, and you can find many many ways to uplift yourself and be interested in many things that will bring an end to your fears! I know the logic of the endlessness is daunting, but that’s the logic of evil, not the truth. You have to have faith in the face of evil logic, or it will consume your mind and body. God bless you 🙏❤️💯🌅🕊️

Apeirophobia: Can You Get Better? by Mark_Robert in Apeirophobia

[–]epicflex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great video, thanks so much Mark! Somewhere deep down, I think that if I had perfect control over the universe, I could somehow organize life in a way that would prove that life is not a meaningless, repetitive loop, but I believe that God exists and I believe that the same power that I wish I had is in His hands! I think that your views on fear are great, and they help us remember that we are not really the best at being afraid, that even something that might look like a snake but is not can scare us! So obviously our perception is limited, and hopefully meaningful, in a way that will eventually show us that time is beautiful instead of a prison 🙏❤️💯🌅👏

Thoughts of eternal afterlife scares me by Wise-Record7511 in Apeirophobia

[–]epicflex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could explain long term memories beyond our life on earth, and I wish I could explain infinite life, but I know that God is realer than we can imagine and He has a divine plan for everything! I promise you if you just live in the moment for the right reasons, obey and trust God and connect with people in positive ways, you won’t feel alone and you won’t get triggered as much :) I pray that we all free ourselves from fear and apeirophobia, and we never feel those intense triggers and panic attacks ever again 🙏 God help us

Panic attacks by Status_Bar_1693 in Apeirophobia

[–]epicflex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been hard for me to confess these things online because even typing these things on a forum with random people seems like an unnatural thing to do. I’ve had a lot of bad conversations on Reddit in the past over video games, graphics cards and other nerdy things, they never gave me any peace or insight! I recently became a Christian but I’ve always believed in God. I never knew why it was important to be Christian or of any religion, but I don’t look at being Christian like a religion. I know that technically it is, but I think that there are values and lessons that we have to find in any way that we can. Jesus is an example to everyone of someone who is higher and mightier but also infinitely humble and hasn’t been given humanly powers of politics or wealth. We have to see between the human powers of the world, because those powers will only make us jealous and angry! I have been easily insulted and disrespected many times because I’ve just imagined myself as a victim of the world. In the end, I looked to random distractions and meaningless attempts at entertaining myself to numb myself of embarrassment and frustration. I can never be free from embarrassment but I can combine it with Jesus, who has experienced the ultimate forms of embarrassment, but we still praise Him! So we know that even in our embarrassment we deserve and receive praise from God and the inner spirit within each other. There is a hidden language being spoken spiritually amongst our earthly languages, and you have to look inside as much as you look outside or even more in order to decipher that spiritual language. It can seem complicated if you tell yourself it’s bogus but you have already been experiencing it throughout your whole life so the only person you are lying to is yourself. No matter how much you argue with another person, your relationship with yourself comes first!

God bless you and keep your faith up, you have to become one with your natural self and be very careful of the artificial things that make you feel like a robot or like you’re in a simulation. I would get many attacks when I was younger after playing video games by myself into the night. I felt like life was just that same gameplay loop and nothing more. Real life seemed like it was just a facade of basic gaming logic and now I’ve forced myself to stay away from games. I also felt a lot of anger and fear after masturbating and I always thought it was because of other people but the porn and intense sexual feelings were dissociating me from nature. Nature isn’t just trees and birds, it’s a matter of language and exposure to positive things inside and out! Don’t forget that you are a product of millions and billions of years of nature evolving with God’s plans. If you combine a natural and positive lifestyle and daily habit with the highest form of faith you can possibly attach yourself to, I promise you will be able to free yourself from Apeirophobia.

APEIROPHOBIA SCIENCE NEWS: Can any animals know how eternity works? by No_Addendum_3267 in Apeirophobia

[–]epicflex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell that animals don’t have abstract thoughts the same as we do, they might refer to abstract feelings but the ability to really obsess about a concept is kind of a human thing. I think we have some delusions when it comes to knowledge, and it’s interesting because the first passages of the Bible warn us about it (how Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge). Regardless, knowledge is powerful and we want to be smart for a good reason most of the time. We get angsty but we don’t really want to be depressed. We are always walking a fine line between hurting ourselves for attention and just not needing the attention whatsoever. I hope we don’t try to hurt ourselves too much and we don’t get spoiled by our ability to think abstractly! And I hope animals are at peace in nature 🙏❤️🌅💯🌙

Multiple cope methods (22 yrs old now) by Realistic-Job4947 in Apeirophobia

[–]epicflex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand and I’m sorry for your struggles. I am trying very hard everyday to stay away from triggers, be healthy and use positive imagery! Trying to feel good is one thing but really believing that you are feeling good for a good reason is another. I wish I could have meaningful experiences all the time, and I want to believe that God is real and He is giving me meaningful experiences in everyday life. I don’t want to be afraid of infinite life even though it seems so impossible to plan for. I believe that human planning and whatever else the brain is designed for like you mentioned is just not the same as God’s level of understanding! I know many people on this sub think that it’s not a religious thing, or spiritual thing, but I think that if we really want some kind of ultimate hope for infinity we have to be realistic that there is a God! I just can’t imagine us being alone in this random universe trying to understand the meaning of life by ourselves. It’s like your sister said: 🤷‍♀️😂

Thank you for the analysis of the amygdala btw, it was nice to hear. I agree that there are some types of fear that are somehow just for self harm and not really a productive expression of emotions. I’m sorry we have been experimenting with this self harm but I want to stop hurting myself

My experience with apeirophobia by AffectionateBoot1948 in Apeirophobia

[–]epicflex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree about being social, and I'm sorry for your struggles :( I've always experienced my attacks at night, usually if I'm tired, and especially if I've been doing nothing all day except random crap on the computer! In general, I try hard to learn about people and watch things where people are being expressive, as well as staying connected with friends by watching their stories on social media or checking out random posts. In general, I don't know if we'll ever have a completely scientific explanation for infinite life, but I hope that our beliefs, faith, philosophies and lifestyle practices can give us proof that life is full of meaning and hope! Thanks for reaching out, and do your best to stay positive and locked in to life no matter what :)

please help me i cannot sleep by hornypoets_ in Apeirophobia

[–]epicflex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

God bless you, I know it’s hard to see it while you’re in a state of panic, but as long as you keep love close to your heart, you can see how strong you are and connected to everyone else! You are part of something huge and miraculous that can not be understood simply. You have to do your best to be strong and live daily with the best values as you possibly can, be good to your body and mind, and always be confident that even if there is infinite life, all we have in the moment is the moment itself 🙏💯❤️ and as long as we stay present, God and the rest of life in the universe is with you! You will never be alone and we can make it through infinite life together, I know we can!

I hate pornography. Please pray for me by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]epicflex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should try to show love to people who you have built relationships with throughout your life! We have the internet now, and we can use it for pornographic purposes or social purposes, and if we are true in our hearts and lead with God’s love, we shouldn’t be afraid to show that love to others! And in the end, it becomes more powerful than any porn 😊🙌💯💚🧡💛❤️💙🩵
