To Jon: I'm surprised that at this point... Masae hasn't been brought on as a guest on Disc Only. I could also see Lucahjin being a possible guest in a future episode as well.
I want people to know that the toilet with liquid sensors Tom and Jerod were attempting to make is a real thing that someone has made. Yes, it was Michael Reeves. Unfortunately he hasn't made a video on it but you can find clips of it in action during his streams. Yes, he shows how much he pees on stream.
When I recognize that I’m in a dream everything suddenly turns into a Jojo battle between me and my dreaming mind because I have to imagine something to keep my dreaming mind from manifesting it into the dream
32:50 Honestly, that bit about "multiple personality disorder" actually does actually lead into a topic that I wonder about myself. See, the newer term for the disorder you're talking about is dissociative identity disorder, and dissociation is basically an out-of-body experience that makes someone FEEL like they're in a dream while they're awake. It happens a lot in people with psychological trauma, PTSD, etc., but really it's just a more extreme version of "spacing out" and is something a lot of people experience small amounts of without it being a problem. My understanding is that it's a reflex controlled by a VERY similar part of your nervous system to fainting. What I personally wonder about is what exactly the distinction is between faintness/fainting and sleepiness/sleeping. In either case, you generally dissociate and gradually lose consciousness, sometimes leading you to either fall asleep or faint and lose your conscious awareness completely. So where's the difference in what's going on in your body? It's relevant to me personally because I have a medical condition that causes faintness/fainting and have also been having sleep problems for months now. When doctors ask me whether I feel tired during the day, I never know how to respond because the faintness and tiredness from my condition kind of just blend together with the sleepiness, and I really can't tell the difference. I don't usually expect this podcast to inspire actual intellectual curiosity, but in this case it kind of did. It's a tangent from his interest in lucid dreaming, but I kind of wonder if Jared has read anything about this.
- fainting usually results in unconsciousness that lasts at most a few minutes typically - usually as a result of a lack of oxygen to the brain, rather than the cocktail of chemicals in your body like melatonin regulating sleep - I presume fainting doesn't involve the REM cycle????
@@enkays_den Yeah, that's definitely true that duration is a big one provided you fully faint or fully fall asleep, but you can feel faint without fainting just like you can feel sleepy without falling asleep, and that can last much longer. It's also possible to doze off for only a short period of time, such as a "catnap." And yes, the environmental and neurochemical triggers to faint versus fall asleep are different, but most of them aren't things that you're consciously aware of, and they seem to have so much in common that I don't know how anyone distinguishes between them in certain cases when you can't measure these things in the moment. God forbid you have some mixture of both going on if that's even possible. As far as the REM sleep part, I HIGHLY doubt you could go into REM sleep when fainting, and there wouldn't be enough time to really cycle through stages, but I'm not sure what happens to your eye movement when you faint. I'm guessing your eyes just roll into the back of your head and it's probably similar to the early phases of sleep. I'm a bit curious whether there might be overlap in what physically happens in the body that explains all the similarities. Like is there some common change in the brain that happens when losing consciousness? Is there a difference between losing muscle tone when fainting compared to sleep paralysis? Basically, how similar or different ARE the two behind the scenes? Honestly, altered states of consciousness seem to have a TON of gray area between them as far as I can tell.
since i usually only listen to the video instead of watching it, i just noticed that the letters on disc only go away to spell dan whenever dan speaks. amazing.
I love that the second anniversary episode had so much talk about "when you get older, your body will..." Wonder if we'll get discussions about stuff like fake teeth and old folks homes during the third anniversary
2:20 From what my doctor told me last month as I expressed wanting to look into getting a colonoscopy given my family’s history with colon cancer and how it claimed both Chadwick Boswin’s and Billy Kametz’s lives so early, it is recommended that you do not get a colonoscopy until you are either 45 years old or if you have a family history of colon cancer five years prior to the earliest reported age when colon cancer was detected (in my case this would be when I hit 40). 4:12 So that’s why comments were wishing Dan well in that one Minecraft Banjo memorable moment between him and Jepson. 7:50 Less that he lacks common sense and more that he cannot foresee the consequences of his actions beyond the immediate result under his direct supervision. It’s not like Jimmy’s incapable of common sense. It’s how he ends up beating Professor Calamatous most if not every time because the guy lacks the common sense or rather the ability to finish everything he starts (hey-o). The whole thing with the Yolkian Empire (which by the way did not know Patrick Stewart was involved with the movie in any way shape or form) abducting all the adults in Retroville…how is it that no one else outside of Retroville seemed to notice? I’m not just talking immediately either. It was several days before the kids took off to try and get the adults back. Kids had to take up news reporting roles and the like. How did this all go unnoticed nationally? Surely there must’ve been deliveries to and from Retroville during that period or something else where someone from the outside would’ve seen what had happened. Also semi-related: who thought that opening up an amusement park on a school night was a brilliant idea? 8:10 Wasn’t Crunch Time the pilot episode? The one where Jimmy made the candy that got everyone addicted to it and he had to enact a Pavlovian response to get them to curb their addictions? 9:44 Because of the memes. Also because IIRC Hugh’s voice actor (who says Trans Rights BTW) said that if Hugh gets in the game he would voice him no questions asked. 10:33 Also the kind of uninspired music for some of those stages. Like not even one Turtles in Time remix? No? Really, before the voice acting it was the attention to detail for the characters (especially like how Tournament Fighters plays into the Turtles’ and Shredder’s movesets) and the promise of rollback were the main draws of the game and why people mistakenly thought that it was going to be “the Smash killer” even though the devs said numerous times that being a Smash killer was not their intent or end goal. Hard to think of who didn’t have a crush on the pretty robot teen. Especially someone who grew up loving the Mega Man series. As a whole MLaaTR aged pretty well I would say. The only thing that didn’t was the fact that in Speak No Evil the Japanese people were all yellow…yeah… 15:38 This exchange right here is very much why Disc Only is basically an hour and a half to two hour long daycare session for Jerod, Stephen, and Tom with Jon as the (negligent) babysitter. 40:33 Even just a regular journal helps. Jules put up a highlight today where he said he and Mal started on the same day and both have seen some overall improvements in their life as a result, being able to keep track of goals and small lifestyle changes that have been beneficial in the long run. 50:33 Nothing in the Bible or any doctrines that says you can’t meditate last I checked anyhow. 1:01:10 So…how long before Stephen, Mal, and their chat get Beyond Thunderdome? 1:04:40 I’m just reminded now of Jirard’s first Dad story from the Banjo speedrun segment. “Jirard…have you done her yet?…OK, I go make oatmeal.” 1:06:50 The way Jerod talks about this sort of thing reminds me of how Maximilian Dood talks about FF7. There being levels makes this reminder all the more apt. 1:09:00 So did Jerod not sacrifice anyone? Did he just take the faith loss anyone asked to be sacrificed or wanted a prison built? 1:15:40 Y’all could’ve used this to bring up Murder Gym, yet you wasted it on another Outback Stabhouse mention. Tsk tsk. 1:17:04 Someone wanna tell Haruka that? 1:18:00 Arcade Pit has ruined me in that every time I think of a funeral service I don’t hear the tune Tomis recreating but instead the one that plays during “Here lies Smight, the fake gamer.” 1:31:55 And at last the split timeline will be over and the one true timeline will be restored.
58:19 TOM I DID EXACTLY THAT. Ok so context, I used to live in a place where the bathroom was literally across the hall from my bedroom, which i shared with my brother, who takes literal hours every time to use the bathroom. So like, when we both wake up at the same time, I got used to SPRINGING out of bed and jumping to that fucking bathroom so I could pee sometime in the next hour. Most commonly this happens on school days cuz we both gotta be up at the same time, so that extra layer of rush is just added. One time, I wake up, and do my ritual of, look over to brother, oh shit he's getting up, I need to hurry, throw away scooby doo blanket, leap over to the bathroom. slam that door closed, turn on the light, lift the seat, drop pants, get sweet release. But since you all know where this is going because of how I started it, turns out, oh my god that was a dream. But oh boy, was I sure as hell pissing. Just, covered my pants, might've been cargo shorts actually (i sleep in whatever i'm wearing the next day, pajamas are inefficient), and the blanket gets gross and warm and the bed is stained and everything is just awful. And that's why I always be sure to make peeing one of the last things I do before going to bed. Because never again. The worst part of that dream is that it felt 100% real until I guess the warm and gross feeling of fucking piss getting everywhere woke me up.
My mother told me when i was younger that nightmares are just your body saying you need to use the restroom. Honestly, she was right a good portion of the time.
I actually used to keep a dream journal as a teen, and I still sometimes write my dreams down on my phone if they're weird or vivid or useful enough, but that old dream journal is basically illegible because it's all scruffy 3AM handwriting, when you're not even awake enough to grip the pen properly
In all seriousness I could just listen to Jerod talk about Lucid Dreaming and the science behind it all day, it's absolutely fascinating to me; especially as some one who has never been able to lucid dream but would really love to be able to do it and as someone who has had a few reoccurring Dreams/"Nightmares" that I'd love to know the meaning of.
I experienced sleepwalking, while I was in highschool. Well, since I did the sleepwalking, I'd say that it was my roommate that experienced it. He filled me: I woke up in my pajamas, put sandals on, got out, went in the middle out the school square, stared at the moon for a bit, and then came back and got back to sleep. I didn't uttered a word, the entire time. When my roommate showed me the video, I've never been more afraid of myself
Most of my dreams are comparably mundane. Even when I realize I’m dreaming, I still feel like I’m following a script, so to speak. As for something that’ll wake me up, it’s not really a sound, but what I think can be described as a sudden flash of light or something…
I personally really enjoyed the dream talk but I’m probably biased because I rarely even remember dreaming. I just kinda fade in and out of consciousness when I sleep. So if I’m having trouble staying asleep it’ll feel like an entire night of tossing and turning when in reality it was maybe 30 minutes of me being conscious throughout the night.
I would absolutely buy a piss-measuring toilet. If nothing else then it's a good way to check for dehydration, if you're not plagued by bladder, kidney or issues of the prostate.
My main thing with dreams are either apocolyptic or super fantastical. One dream was this underground lake with bioluminescent flora. Then this huge wall that was slowly going downward in a slight angle. Was beautiful. Other times I've had dreams of meteors destroying earth's atmosphere, giant ants killing everyone and things like that.
The nightmares don't haunt me anymore. At this point they're just annoying. What haunts me are the Good dreams. Waking up from them to be back where I am is the worst nightmare.
Ok(edit this isnt to self boast just saying I think as a self study this helped) one thing about the lucid dreaming and you think the same things awakes and asleep I have done this to help train both mentally and physically I was never coached on track and feild or much in karate (was taught up to black belt but never to compete) now I cant actually say it made me better but I like to think it did simply because of how good I got and how quickly
