For me, I have to do the full Hard Reset. A nap. A shower. Maybe shave something. If that doesn't work, trepanation?

What is going on with the t in still? It almost looks like a cross between a t and an f

[–] X@piefed.world 2 points 45 minutes ago (1 children)

It’s probably some kind of bot, because the post uses the regular “t” elsewhere, and because this (scroll down to audio sample) is what that letter sounds like. No one who regularly uses the word “still” would pronounce it with that consonant.

Wait until you mean Mx. Thorny here on Lemmy.

I have, and instantly thought of them while commenting lol

I think it's a fake, but I cannot fathom why it would be. There's a tumblr post from a totally separate user with the exact same text barring the weird t, and the @randomuser profiles on twitter and bluesky don't look anything like this one

This is what it sounds like, apparently. Scroll down to Audio sample.

That would suck harder’n a black hole. You get a headache, try to sleep it off, fail and then get arrested because you didn’t get rid of your headache. Now you have a headache and you’re in jail! Waking up with a headache should be an effective palliative treatment situation, not a prosecutorial situation

You'd rather your body not tell you that something is wrong?

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.

if we made it illegal who should i sue? life? the universe?

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

No the government would be obligated to sentence you to punishment for having woke up with a headache.

Thus I feel many would choose to not self-report. We'll have black market Tylenol knock-offs which will quickly turn to people dabbling in harder narcotics and eventually fueling an opioid crisis.

Not every problem is fixed with a reboot, sometimes its a hardware problem or lack of water

I just listened to the postcast Failure To Launch's series on Jack Parsons, a REALLY werird rocker scientist, who after handling nitroglycerin without gloves got a massive headache lasting 5 days straight.

This was so common among the team that it was called a "nitroglycerin headache".

Just thought about it when reading this post.

BTW, I can highly recommend the Failure To Launch podcast, it is absolutely brilliant.

Isn’t it used to treat heart attacks or something?

[–] bitteroldcoot@piefed.social 4 points 2 hours ago

It's still there to remind you that life is unfair.

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 1 points 2 hours ago

I agree, though I was half expecting sfilling some product in the bottom half.
