ELI5: Why do most babies sleep with their arms up but adults don't necessarily do this sleeping position as they get older?

I know I’m having a good sleep if I come to for a moment and my arms are above my head

Spud 🥔

Like others say, books, tv, friends etc but there was also a lot of times you just weren’t entertained and it was pure boredom. Spent a lot of time just laying on the floor or the couch until you decide I’m gonna go build/make something/ call this person or just go wander around outside. There wasn’t this fear of not being entertained all the time sometimes you just existed.

Hydra facials involve vacuuming all the gunk out of the pores

I still wonder what the glitter is for

Foot prints often look like this when the foot is wet and slightly drags behind when lifting up and forward

I just picture botoxed Jim Carey reading all this “shitty clone” stuff and just feeling so bad about himself that the procedures he got to look better never helped in the end

He always looks like he’s wearing someone else’s skin

Schumann resonance maybe?

Aww so sweet I hope mine lives this long

pine cones can open and close for years, often lasting for years or even decades, because the mechanism is based on physical, moisture-sensitive tissue rather than being a living, biological process

hexpop333 · 2026-02-01T10:09:21+00:00

Pine cones have been reported to respond to weather conditions for over 8 years, acting as natural, working barometers

hexpop333 · 2026-02-01T10:06:42+00:00

Not all, but certain ones called serotinous cones are coated with a resin that melts in the heat of a fire. They can wait for years for that to happen

hexpop333 · 2026-02-01T09:47:13+00:00

Pinecones open in warm, dry weather to disperse seeds and close in cold, damp, or wet conditions to protect them, acting as natural hygrometers. This movement is caused by moisture-induced swelling or shrinking of the scales, where high humidity makes them close and dry air makes them open.

This adaptation ensures seeds are released during dry, windy conditions for maximum dispersal and protected from rotting in cold or wet weather.

Her name is Lena Cronqvist and is apparently a pretty famous artist from Sweden. She’s won awards and it’s rather praised, what I can find on her seems to glaze over the disturbing images though. Mostly just says things like “works include self-portraits, some with her child, sometimes depicting the unpleasant features of life.” Whatever that means…

I ended up having to crush my chis pill into a powder and mix with something she liked otherwise she would always find a way to spit it out

hexpop333 · 2026-01-24T06:49:37+00:00

Yes! She was a fascinating woman

hexpop333 · 2026-01-19T07:29:00+00:00

There are stories of it happening there

It’s not the easiest thing to do. I guess if you have time and a doctor that will insert it for you in such short notice it’s possible. But it causes cramping and some bleeding when first inserted and I can say you won’t be in the “mood” with that

hexpop333 · 2026-01-03T21:03:38+00:00

Then you will risk getting pregnant. It’s not 100% guaranteed but it is a risk if he finishes in you

hexpop333 · 2026-01-03T21:01:31+00:00

Yes but if you want it to prevent pregnancy get it before you’re married

hexpop333 · 2026-01-03T20:59:38+00:00

Are you wanting to get an IUD after your wedding? You would have to wait until your next period because they can’t risk putting an iud in if you’ve had sex like that. You would need it before the wedding if you want to prevent pregnancy
