  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Oh, that’s bad. You really want your body to tell when you’re injuring yourself. People with no ability to feel pain often have their teeth pulled so they don’t unknowingly chew their own tongues off. You put your hand on a lit stovetop burner, you can’t feel it, and your hand cooks while you wonder what smells so good. You suddenly discover you can’t walk because your legs broke several months ago and you’ve been using them long past when others would have gone to the ER. You suffocate and don’t understand why your vision is fading, and you don’t realize that you’re dying.

While pain can easily be agonizing, not being able to feel pain means you have no way to know that you’re in critical danger.
