Nicotine is unusual in comparison to most drugs, as its profile changes from stimulant to sedative with increasing dosagesl
Nicotine is unusual in comparison to most drugs, as its profile changes from stimulant to sedative with increasing dosages, a phenomenon known as "Nesbitt's paradox" after the doctor who first described it in 1969


So if you know with 100% certain you're about to be tortured for 5 minutes, not a bad idea to get hammered. But if they wait til you sober up a little then torture you, it'll be worse.





Do even 5mins naps destroy anyone else?
If I'm working late and a have a 5 min nap anytime after like 4pm, it makes me have insomnia that night by more than 5 mins. Happens quite consistently.







Okay, lower blood glucose responses is like legumes and high blood glucose response is like sugary cereals?

Which sounds like that backs my hypothesis that sugary cereals are still barely fit for human consumption

Could you explain what “breakfast rich in carbohydrate, and a lower blood glucose response following breakfast” means?

Like so I should eat sugary cereals on the morning?

Lower blood glucose responses?






Mental exhaustion right before bed to fall asleep quickly?
When I'm mentally exhausted, like after work, I've noticed it's very easy to just collapse onto my bed and sleep.

Hot showers haven’t ever worked for me. But I have slept in bathtubs filled with hot water.



tested lots of different techniques during that time and the only one that I think had some effect was doing cardio that was intense enough to leave me physically exhausted.

What works ish for me semi consistently that isn’t drugs when having severe trouble, sitting in front of a personal heater til I overheat and that makes it easy for me to fall asleep, but it only works in the winter and i have to be naked so sweat evaporates.



Rumor: Manually trying to make your eyes do rem might help you fall asleep?
I'll try it out and see if it works for me Reddit: When you’re in bed with your eyes closed, roll them back as far as you can (it’s kind of a weird feeling to me). Hold them like that for several seconds, relax, repeat. The reason something so simple works is because your eyes roll back naturally when you’re really asleep in this fashion. Doing it deliberately signals the brain to release melatonin, which is one of our “sleep hormones” (and popular as a supplement to take at bedtime to help sleep). So there you have it. I just saved you 12 bucks. :D

Anything entertaining enough like scishow psych lol.








Close enough for this sub since there isn’t anywhere better


What good psychogy youtube channels do you follow?

So imo, you should also research the advice your dr gives you in case the wikipedia page was vandalized when she was reading it.




Which means next day you'll be more tired Alcohol is a sedative, which is sorta like knocking someone out via like fainting, rather then sleeping

a 2013 study, Wright and his research team showed one week of camping in the Rocky Mountains with no artificial light, not even flashlights, synchronized the circadian clocks of the eight study subjects with the timing of sunrise and sunset.


Caffeine/bright light can delay your circadian rhythm by up to 105 mins
Caffeine + bright light (105 min) isn't significantly more effective than bright light alone (85 mins) or caffeine alone (85 mins)



Ptsd is more likely if you don’t have as much social contact + can’t express grief
Ptsd is more likely if you don't have as much social contact + can't express grief. Potentially 'cant express grief publicly'. If entire community subject to tragedy less rates of ptsd - even allievates ptsd symptoms in long term ptsd victims. During war/after 911, suicide/depression/homicide rates drop. Potentially from being involved in a grand cause. Causes people to speak to each other. Our brains enjoy helping each other. Much higher rates of mental health problems in human history. These increase with urbanization. Countries might focus too much on tearing themselves apart by every possible ethnic line etc. Soldiers in ancient times got ptsd at lower rates, potentially due to; death/blood being more common, at camp they were usually safe whereas nowadays - never safe (drones, long range missiles, ied) so modern soldiers always always hypervigilant, killing was considered glorious, crying was allowed amongst men concussions increase the odds of ptsd developing 35 days of uninterrupted combat, 98% have psychiatric disturbances. Short term hypervigilance is probably advantageous - easily awaken, worried about event.


Thankfully it’s not as contagious as covid and we already have vaccines for it.

It’s debateable how contagious it is https://mander.xyz/post/210541, both might be airborne


“Contact with bodily fluids from infected person” spreads it, but it can be spread via: https://mander.xyz/post/210541

Monkeypox Vaccines Are Too Gnarly for the Masses

i haven’t read thru it thou


Covid-19 Has Orphaned 5.2 Million Children So far!

simpson meme here


monkeypox isn’t as infectious or even as deadly,

“The case fatality rate in these four African countries combined is 4.4%”

iirc og covid is 0.75% globally. Probably like 1% or so no treatment.

so afaik, monkeypox is 4.4x deadlier than og covid no treatment for both.



Only rectal - which is good, but not as good as the title led me to believe

Assuming the graph data isn’t fudged, seems concerning to me. But if we’re lucky it will plateau


If you go to fancy enough establishments, ask the server if they have a nutrition/calorie sheets someplace. Early vegan activism involved asking servers to recommend them a vegan dish.

What about you? Are you planning on starting? Have you been doing it?

Haha thanks for asking.

I’m trying to cut junk food out first , later on vegetarianism, then veganism and at some point after that, calorie restriction.

Cutting out junk food is probably easy mode calorie restriction


At least over here many establishments list how many calories their food has
