Thank you for your service.

You know how they say, that a sneeze is 70 percent of an orgasm? When a dad sneezes, he must get the whole thing.

My kid used to complain about how loudly I sneeze.

He's 27, now, and he does it too.

I went through so much bullshit, it's the last guilty pleasure I have in this world. I deserve at least that.

[โ€“] original_reader@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

Yes, you do!

This is so often true that I would love to read a sociological study on why it is.

Ironically my dad sneezes pretty quietly, like a mouse. Yet I have the sonic boom of a sneeze. One time in uni I sneezed during a class, the professor stopped his lecture and said "are you ok?!?!"

I gained it after having a kid. I don't understand it, so I'd like to see a study as well.

I miss how good of a character early pierce was. Shame that chevys behaviour made Dan write him differently as time went on.

It's orgasmic

Iโ€™ll never be a dad, but I definitely inherited my dadโ€™s sneeze.

[โ€“] dumbass@leminal.space 4 points 6 days ago

Gotta assert dominance over the sneeze.

[โ€“] original_reader@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

To be fair, no one should hold in their sneezes.

Still, sneezing into a tissue (or at least the sleeve) is just good manners and protects everyone around.

Explode away!

Bold of you to assume that I know that I'm going to sneeze 50ms before I'm going to sneeze

[โ€“] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Fortunately you don't need to!

Upon sneeze initiation of non-voluntary inhalation and the iconic "Ah-" you can consciously react with a valsalva maneuver* of the airway by retracting your tongue up toward your nasopharynx - try it now while exhaling, and if done correctly your exhale should be fully blocked and you'll feel a slight pressure increase in your head. Doing this after that inhalation portion of a sneeze will similarly block the "-choo!" half, keeping the air and slurry of snot and pathogens all internal, at the cost of making yourself subtable to the consequences listed in OP's article.

ย 

*not to be confused with a valsalva maneuver of the GI tract, which can cause hernias and a vasovagal response that dips your blood pressure and can make you pass out
