@@jakublewandowski2237 I've never heard of that. Thanks for giving me fun new things to read about!

@@jakublewandowski2237 I don't think that is in use anymore thou is it? I like to read stuff like this from time to time and I am pretty sure the protocol is not in use but I suppose you are right, but rabies is still the only one that has 100% fatality after symptoms. Which is quite scary when you think about it

You missed one survivor in the 2000s if I remember well, a woman is the only known/documented person to survive so the rate isn't 100% pure but pretty close to that.

eh .. there's actually a bunch more .. just look up "list of human disease case fatality rates"

I believe it has been updated to be 99% fatal (CDC) / virtually 100% (WHO). There have been a few cases (I personally have heard of 1-2 but WIKI says 14 documented cases as of 2016 but I cannot say how accurate that is) where people have actually survived with medical intervention after they showed symptoms. The medical intervention was intense and they had a long road to recovery.

Congratulations! You’ve won the pun of the comments award! 😂😂🎉🎉

This is possibly my favorite comment online of the week, thank you for making it.

This is gold, and it's an atrocity that it doesn't have more likes and replies.

Underrated comment 💀

I’m totally stealing that 😂

I am not schizophrenic, but I do experience psychosis during manic episodes due to my bipolar disorder and it sucks ass how people without a disorder think they know more about the disorder than the person with it (not including doctors). I also have a friend, professionally diagnosed with child-onset schizophrenia, who has had multiple people in her life tell her child-onset schizophrenia doesn't exist.

I’m in medical school and have bipolar disorder and I still encounter people who think they know more about bipolar disorder than me. I don’t get the psychosis… but my delusions of grandeur have been pretty fucking wild on occasion.

Like when u wake from a dream and believe it actually happened? But in real time and more weird?

Yeah, it’s pretty wild what people THINK they know about different mental health conditions, and are comfortable saying without double checking anything 🙄 I have bipolar disorder myself and it’s pretty disgusting how quick people are to use that as a general insult, or decide that that’s the reason I do anything, react in whatever way to anything, and therefore can use it to dismiss me. Similarly I’ve seen people just assume they know how schizophrenia manifests (I don’t know where they get their information but it’s definitely wrong) and feel comfortable spouting it. I remember in another react video by another creator referring to a wife complaining that her husband says “goblin mode!” before they have sex, and then pretends to not remember having said that or anything that happened. And someone in the comments said “probably has schizophrenia and this is a split personality that manifests during sex because of a childhood trauma.” And just wow, where even to start? Once again a case of confusing Schizophrenia with DID, but even then, not accurate, just reciting a bunch of nonsense they saw online and assuming they now know wtf they’re talking about when it comes to an incredibly complicated and nuanced condition.

Im not schizophrenic but i heard a good trick from my schizophrenic friend, he always carries a little mirror in case he forgets his meds and uses it to diverse reality and psychosis. He also uses noise cancelling headphones - he told us that if he puts them on we should stop speaking so he can diverse :D

I feel like "Good at quietly suffering." Encompasses basically everyone with a hidden disability/difference. Very well said (Also styrofoam is ass. Bad for the environment and it sounds awful 😖)

You thanked him not to do the fake disorder cringe, and then proceeded to whine about your disorder that is also probably fake

@@bottle3124 You mad bro?

​@@bottle3124 Cope and seethe about a stranger on the internet being disabled 😳

It's because we have learned it in school and got drilled grammar by filling 100 lines of text with your and you are and then were graded on that on a daily basis. Unlike native speakers that learned the language organically prior to learning how to read and write, we didn't get the time to develop bad habits, slang, and generally we have hard time understanding abreviations. There are no schools teaching us how y'all'd've said something and what it means. We only learned those things much much later when our grammar was already solidly developed.

Just goes to show how bad English is.

@@sillyjellyfish2421 "There are no schools teaching us how y'all'd've said something and what it means." English\American schools don't teach grammar and spelling?

Tbh I probably know more about English than my own native language 😂

@@WhiteScorpio2 Well they do but the seriously posh versions (mostly of BE) where slang does not exist and abbreviations are the devils work. If you do not speak the Queen's english are you really even speaking? xD Most of us non natives learn how yall really talk when we're fluent enough to talk to natives in actual convos. You learn the real talk first and then they try to superimpose all those rules and grammar on already existing foundations which just doesn't always stick around very long past the next test.

Considering that the empire state building gets struck about 25x per year and the same one guy got struck by lightning on seven different occasions, the phrase "lightning never hits the same spot twice" is incredibly wrong

yeah I think i remember seeing a video a few years back of various buildings and places being recorded during lightning storms and in each of the recordings you could clearly see anywhere from 3 to 12 strikes when the vid was slowed down. it was wild!

That... Makes a lot of sense actually. TIL

Truth

I hope you're getting what you need now! 🙏❤

I wanna add onto this and say that people have come to my life and accused my autism tic of being "fake tourette". No. I have a whole ass different disorder which manifests differently so my tics are different. They stem from entirely different origins. I never claimed to have tourettte but because some trend made it cool to go around and hate on mentally ill people and accuse them of faking, people ruin my day.

Also I wanna add onto this and say that I have a friend who had an injury as a kid who now only has one eye. She got a skingraft done over her scar on her face and on tiktok videos it just looks weird to people who have no idea what it is. She is only 15 and had to face intense only harassment from random people thinking they are mini detectives going around harassing her for her "supposedly fake" missing eye. It stems from hatred and misunderstand and a 15 year old should never be forced to show off actual medical records on camera to "disclose her integrity". Thats horrid behavior. If you are neurotypical everyone believes you just are and no one has to show off "proof" for medical history. We mentally ill folk often have to justify our disorders while we are already suffering and get judged for trying to figure things out. it sucks and is honestly annoying how impatient people are with us, when many of us are only teens and many others might not even have good access to medical care in the first place.

Also if someone is actually faking something for attention then it usually means something else is pretty wrong in their life and they need a different kind of help, not harassment. So Harassment is never the answer

I learned new wisdom from Click today

Not just hard, actually impossible with the cigarette itself. The _lighter_ can do it, but the cigarette can't. The ATF did experiments later, even spraying a fine mist of gasoline directly at a lit cigarette that has a vacuum sucking air through it to increase the temp. Nothing. Burning cigarettes lack sufficient energy to ignite gasoline. This led to an exoneration where a false confession put in that someone used this lit cigarette thing to set off gasoline.

According to my father it was common in the 1940s for ground crew to be smoking while they were refueling aircraft.

If I remember there was a guy who falsely went to jail for burning down a house and claimed he used a cig to light it. the lawyer later used the myth busters episode to get him out after an appeal

Meanwhile I purposefully lit gasoline on fire with a cigarette more than once, just a practical way of lighting a bonfire when you're a smoker (I'm not anymore, by the way). Build bonfire, add gasoline, throw cigarette, FWOOF... every time? Maybe specifically a puddle or stream of gasoline is different than something soaked in gasoline somehow but I sure as heck would *never* risk it... This looks like a thread full of prospective Darwin Award winners. "Mythbusters Said It Was Safe" on your gravestones.

@@timpalczynski1465 wow dang that's awesome, not that the guy got falsely accused but that a myth buster episode stood up in court to free a man.

I look at stupid people every day. It's called looking in a mirror

And you feel so much smarter, best confidence boost!

There’s nothing better - so long as you’re not the one being stupid that everyone’s looking at. 😂

Yeah I love looking at myself on the mirror

Yeah. Fake claiming is extremely harmful and can result in death, especially if it is a doctor doing it [“I think I’m having a heart attack”, “No you’re not, you just want attention!”]. It can also make the person who was accused of faking scared of telling people about their condition/etc. Telling people that you have a medical condition or something can be very difficult, so being told that you’re faking for no reason would be very upsetting and would make you want to never tell anybody about your condition/etc again.

Yeah definitely. It’s kind of scary to talk about any form of disorder. Especially since so many disorders work so differently from person to person. I have autism but I don’t fit into the category of “looking autistic.” That’s is because I am a young teenager of the female sex, who is pretty good looking (why does people think autistic people are ugly? Seriously I have no idea) and have been able to mask it for so long, no one suspected anything until I was 15. And guess what, in normal society, you don’t just stop masking cause you have the paper. Which is why I don’t like showing it online except in anonymous comments. I can already see the comments of “you’re not autistic!” “You’re faking it!” In my mind. It really isn’t fun.

@@dudewhatthewhat8983 hey, everybody is on a spectrum somewhere. The best thing anyone can understand is that they have absolutely no idea exactly how someone else feels, even if they diagnose or present similarly. Love yourself and be understanding of others and you will do right.

i can relate! i actually have a theory that some tics can also somehow "encourage" tics, so when some of these younger people show off their tics, it's more likely to be replicated. i mean, humans learn by replicating behavior, so it makes sense to me 😅 i used to think i had did. nope, just a way of shutting down when overstimulated whether it be because of autism or anxiety. i hope you're well, and that you don't have to deal with dickheads who think they know more about your own health than you. have a good day! ☺️

@@kingfishercomputing9497 i know that you don't mean any harm with this but no not everybody is on the spectrum thats misinformation

Self diagnosis is a bit different than what you are describing though. It’s more like you saw others struggling with the same struggles as you and they had been diagnosed and we’re sharing their struggles and so you used that information to be an informed patient and seek help leading to your diagnosis because you were now informed instead of just sitting in your own mind thinking you were not good enough or smart enough. Maybe I just see the self diagnosis crowd as the ones who go around saying they have something because some of the symptoms they have match it but they didn’t really consider all the factors and likely have something different that has overlapping symptoms. Like my sister for instance, sometime in her 40s she started going around telling people she had ADHD… she doesn’t! When she finally reached out for a real diagnosis, she has BiPolar2. I think it’s great you made the connections through these resources though and got the diagnosis so you could finally get the help and get answers to ease your mind. I have struggled with dyslexia and ADHD myself and feel lucky that I’ve known what was different about me since I was really young. Not everyone is as lucky as I was for sure.

I feel like self diagnosis can be a good step to get a professional diagnosis purely because you would notice symptoms you aligned with that you would've thought were normal otherwise. I've had disorders since middle school that were diagnosed in college only because I didn't know that they were symptoms of something or even abnormal

This! While it is true that a lot of people incorrectly self-diagnose, there are others that actually put in the effort and research to validate their self-diagnosis. It makes me really mad when people refuse to even consider issues I bring to their attention just because I’m currently undiagnosed. I do my own research using several different (credible) sources and I use my family’s medical history to make connections that further validate my self-diagnosis. Thankfully, because of this (and because my mother is one of the few people who does actually listen to my reasoning), I am currently working towards a medical autism diagnosis. :)

If it wasn't for me finding a friend group with ADHD (though I didn't know that at the time) I would never have been diagnosed and my life would be a whole lot worse. After an in-depth tangent-ridden conversation of frequently changing topic with them, I remarked that it was great to finally find a large group of people who I could have that kind of conversation with. This was met by one of them saying she's like that because of her ADHD. After a glance at the list of symptoms, this got me thinking. I asked all of those involved if they had ADHD diagnoses. They _all_ did. I asked an old acquaintance with whom I'd enjoyed similar conversations; they had an ADHD diagnosis too. I realise all the symptoms - symptoms I never knew were symptoms of _anything,_ let alone ADHD - match. All my negative experiences with decision making, impostor syndrome and feelings of being very unaccomplished compared to my peers, my grades in school plummeting the moment I actually had to study - it all suddenly made sense. I went to a close friend of many years who I knew had ADHD, and told them I suspected I had it too. Their response, after a stunned silence, was simply "Wait... you didn't know!?"

I have a question for you all. I might have ADHD, namely the inattentive form. I have been tested, but it is taking FOREVER. The thing I question is the potential overlap with depression, a condition that I both believe am at risk for and has some symptoms of a lack of concentration and restlessness in some cases.

Yeah I realized all those things my friends and family made fun of me for or the reason I had to be homeschooled in high school was actually just autism. It's crazy that I went undiagnosed because, while I'm not nonverbal or anything I'm pretty steriotypically autistic

yeah, it's an amazing tool if you then actually go seek help, but the problem is that there are a few bad apples that just say they have some condition and start demanding respect or that people bend to their will

I am a normal person too.

My mom has ADHD. She can tear up an entire notepad with doodles while she's talking. If she's in the middle of a conversation she'll start blurting out her to-do list. She was a straight A student all her life except for history. Which she forced herself to get a D in. Her reasoning? Her teacher was boring and made her memorize dates. Force her to do something she hates and she'll never do it. She's been told all of her life ADHD is "bad" when in reality, that's just how it is. She's super smart and somehow that ADHD gives her the ability to keep a running to-do list. And as someone with severe anxiety and depression, her inability to keep that to-do list to myself makes me lose my mind. But I love her. She can't control it. She can't help it at all. They're from a generation where ADHD meant you were stupid and my one teacher had her convinced that because I'm a girl and I could get an A in all my other classes I must be "lazy" with math. Not that I really had a problem with numbers. Surprise, guess who has a learning disability? But I'm not stupid. This is normal. Just stop making me do long division in my head. And yeah... yeah they tried to make me do that.

Probably because your therapist is a professional and you're not. Not exactly a difficult concept to grasp.

Those people don’t know what spectrum is

@@AVEN_VANCE Exactly, it's called a spectrum for a reason.

this is why more people need to realize that most things, especially autism, are *a spectrum*. spectrum does not mean what some ppl seem to think it means. i am a girl with autism and it took *me getting tested for ADHD*, at 12, to actually get diagnosed. at 7, i was diagnosed with anxiety, but not autism, because, based off what i heard from my mom, the lady said "well, she can look at me and talk to me, so she doesn't have autism." like, excuse me? it's called *masking*? and guess what? my brother got diagnosed. because the symptoms in males are different from females. so i wasn't diagnosed until 12, even tho i got the testing at 7. sjjzjsj? like?

You know women can be racist too, right?

@@ARCtheCartoonMaster I have no idea what you are talking about. I didn't call men racist anywhere?

Also some people might have syndromes that aren't common and then they'll be posted on that kind of space and harrassed. A creator that I really like is a woman, she's pretty and well spoken she faces so much harassment because if she has autism (which is diagnosed) she "really can't be this pretty and well spoken".

honestly, i'd also rather give somebody accommodations who doesn't "really need it", than deprive a disabled person of something that could really help them. it can also be really hard to tell when people are "faking it", and insinuating that someone is "faking" their disability can be really hurtful. tldr, i'm so glad click didn't look at "fake disability cringe" stuff. some of it probably is people legitimately pretending to be disabled, but i'm sure a large portion of it is just ableism.

I used to have tics because a severe anxiety disorder and people tried to say I was faking tourettes...I never even claimed to have tourettes. They stated this because I knew someone with tourettes and she made me feel comfortable enough to not fight back the tics (because it's uncomfy to do) and they said I tried to copy her. I had these tremors/tics before I met her 😐. Unfortunately there's a lot of people out there that wanna think whenever they see someone with Gen z having an issue it's gotta be fake because the overall statistic with that condition is small so no way they can ever meet someone with that specific condition 🙄

​@@eeveearoacebecause my pots I need to ask for a stool or a chair when I'm doing heavy or busy labor because I get lightheaded so easy but I get scared to ask because my disability is something you don't see but definitely experience. It's a nervous system chronic illness and can be very debilitating.

@@lillyisaacs2929 Oh yeah. About the stats, a very important message for everyone : when we talk about rare diseases, it's the disease that is rare. Not the person having it. Because there are VERY MUCH A LOT of rare disease. It is not that rare to have a rare disease. Also, disabled people often surround themselves with other disabled people (queer people do that too), because we're alike, because we understand each other a bit more easily. So, it is very common for a person with a rare disease to be with other people with rare diseases. This is not, as some believe, a strange thing, or an argument for accusing someone to be fake.

why are you like that

so true, those places are really toxic of people with dissociative disorders aswell, especially against systems with introjects. as it seens like despite the DSM-V and the ICS-11 being very explicit about the presence of introjects in literature. besides young people with OCD, tourettes, ptsd... the internet is just cruel sometimes 🫂

​@@agata6337 Wait. I thought that was just a thing, like humans naturally incorperated traits from those around them. The pack mentality, FOMO 'fear of missing out' it's built on not being kicked out of the "pack" right? So when you're talking to someone, you subconsciously mirror their body language. You take in what they have to share, and it incorporates as a part of you, to make you who you are. Is this just having a word for it? Or is this a label for something? Am I just to caught off by discovering a word for it? The rest of your comment addresses disorders and conditions. So seeing DSM-V or ICS-11 and got confused, Google seems to show that they're books? And ICS doesn't seem to exist, but ICD does, is this just a typo like seens, instead of seems, which was written just prior to ICS in your reply. And what does introject have to do with it? Just the idea people are taking concepts from people with actual disorders, and incorporating them, but without the actual experience, it comes off disgenuine, so people mock them? I just want a little clarity, sorry this is such a long rant, I'm just confused.

especially since often, people being posted on that sub are just living their lives. like, „oh no, a DID system having a dream alter is impacting me so severely, i have to post them on here and subject them to harassment“

@@japbstudios Introjects are a type of alter in DID/OSDD Systems

A good way to analyze and find the answer is to convert format abit. 8/2x x=2+2 A lot of ppl when tend to view 2x high on the order of process (bo)dmas rather than what they do with 2( which they just basically convert to 2*( giving it the bo(dm)as level order. Even though they're following they are mathematical ruling and should both be at the (bo)dmas.

Yeah, in my studies I would have to evaluate implicit multiplication first, but the question is just poorly written and shouldn't exist in the first place

Well don't even need to go higher Mathematics, the Left to right rule only works When all Operations are of same orders which they are not because of that bracket, you first need to solve the bracket and Then proceed and when you remove a Bracket, you Multiply the common value with the interior ones So 2(2+2) = (2*2+2*2) = (4+4) = 8 But one can argue that whole 8÷2 must be taken but Somewhere in a Book i remember it being mentioned that following the new set of rules all ÷ must be treated as / sign where anything in anything written left of the / sign be tested as numerator and anything to right as denominator so then 8/2 won't be the common part The equation will become 8/(2(2+2)) which would be well Written and mathematical accurate

I agree. 28:27 The ÷ symbol (obelus) for division is used only in primary school. By the time children are taught order of operations, ÷ (obelus) is no longer used, and the fraction bar is used instead. FWIW, a case could just as well be made that you first do 2(2+2)=8, and then do 8÷8=1 as you say.

Thank you for this comment, I'm about to take a placement exam for math and the video thumbnail had me second guessing how well I remember high school math. I was taught pemdas for equations like that one and suddenly was very unsure of if I remembered it right!

I know right? Telling people they're faking their experiences gets me really angry really fast, because not only have I had to fight to get diagnosed with what I have, I still have to deal with doctors not helping me figure out what's wrong with me/help me medicate/deal with my fatigue and pain. And my gf often sees things and it's just infuriating to me that people would suggest that she was faking because of how her symptoms present. I have so much respect for Click for not covering FakeDisorderCringe

thats not even Counting disorders where you can develop tics from overuse of a stim or from stress to the point the action is Entirely involuntary and you cant Not do it :( like thise are entirely valid but it throws fuel to the people saying its all fake and it fucking sucks

As someone who has struggled with depression and self worth issues for most of my life, I thank you for having the courage to talk about your issues publicly. It's never easy to admit that you have issues, and since there's *still* so much stigma associated with mental illness, some people will go miles out of their way to make it even harder on those of us who suffer. Stay strong, my friend...life can and will get better if we have the courage to face both our demons, and the vast numbers of intolerant @$$holes in this world. "Nil carborundum illegitimi!" ("Don't let the bastards grind you down!")😉

You spoke about this so well. I've been diagnosed with Tourettes for 12 years and people don't realize how disabling it can be at times. I've had random people IN PUBLIC tell me they either don't believe my tics are real, that they are cute, or that they wish they had my tics. It's truly such a difficult thing to have to deal with and seeing people on tiktok act the way they do makes me so pissed because it's nothing like that in reality.

Without tiktok I wouldn't have known I'm hypermobile! And I'm also getting assessed for ADHD as soon as I'm able to do so. Meanwhile, self diagnosing with ADHD helps me find advice that actually helps to make my life better. I don't see how any of that is harming anyone. And even the people who are legitimately faking disorders, usually do so because of disorders such as factitious disorder (formerly known as munchausens disorder) or body integrity identity disorder.

Yup. It’s just a stepping stone to research and then try and get help. Figured out I was autistic and had EDS from TikTok. Got diagnosed for autism, still working on the EDS front. Genetic testing is expensive. I also will say that a lot of people will see something on tik tok , decide that they have it, and never do more research on a different platform. It’s a start, not the start and finish

It's similar to those "10 signs you have ____ disorder/condition" people realize they have one of them but the doctor's diagnosis needs to be about two-thirds of the signs.

Self-diagnosing isn't the problem. It's the people who self-diagnose and demand the same level of respect and treatment as those who have been diagnosed professionally. If you haven't been diagnosed but demand medication it can be GENUINELY dangerous both for you and for others around you. But those are SUCH a small percentage. All most people want is to be accepted and for others to have some empathy. I'm in the process of getting diagnosed, but I never would have looked at getting diagnosed if it wasn't for tiktok and RU-vid.

Yea that’s how I figured out I had ADHD as well, after getting diagnosed by a psychiatrist I figured out that my working memory was in the 9th percentile and executive function was in the 13th (I think) now I’m medicated and have a 504 plan in school, I would never have gotten the help I needed if it wasn’t because of self diagnosing

I hope this gets pinned. At least seen.

Plus, it can stigmatize disorders that make you lie about being sick like Munchausen's. It's still an illness that requires treatment even if the symptoms aren't necessarily pleasant.

@@zhenia2511 tics too! I used to have them horribly my freshman year and i was prescribed something to help. The meds helped me a lot but now i live in fear of people thinking i was faking it when, in reality, i just got help and treatment.

This comment.

I understand giving them kindness and understanding as they most likely have other issues lying beneath the surface, but when they make it their whole personality (without a diagnosis or without actual research into it and speaking to a prefessional - I actually dislike anyone diagnosed or not who make their mental disorder their whole personality), or make it a joke (edit: insensitive jokes when they don't have the issue), then that isn't really excusable imo. When it gets to the extent that people with real diagnosis are being called liars and frauds for calling someone out who paints a bad image of the mental disorder they pretend to have, then that isn't acceptable under any circumstance. Kids do stupid stuff and someone has to tell them when they are wrong quite frankly. The don't deserve hate, or harassment, but when someone tries to educate them and they respond with insults and other horrible things, I believe at that point a person who has a diagnosis and understanding of the disorder has every right to come right back at them. I don't normally stand for fighting fire with fire, but this is soemthing that can also mentally worsen the people with the disorder

@@kimbap_kidding while i see were your coming from and agree about people making it there whole personally to an extent, but why includ making jokes about there condition?

@@jonross1995 I meant people who haven't been diagnosed and are in fact faking it making jokes. Obviously make jokes about something that affects you, but when they make insensitive jokes about something that doesn't affect them then I have an issue.

My handful of clients are paying out of pocket right now, which is so expensive. My therapist knows many people who have also had a nightmare experience with our state licensure board. The system is so messed up, not at all beneficial to those needing support managing their mental health.

100% agree. Everyone would benifit from at least some therapy. It is quite difficult to have no trauma and no problems to work through, even if you don't realise that you have problems.

The antiscience and religion-extremists will invent any excuse, twist any words, to justify their attacks on science.

It's also worth pointing out that those professionals also try their damn hardest to find any mistake in the paper. They're basically trying their best to disprove the paper. It's a very different process from finding a bunch of yesmen.

@@Mercure250 I like ho it is setup this way as if you do disprove it you get more recgoniticion then the person who published it. So it encourages disproving each and everyone so when something has like over 100 peer reviewed on it you know it can be mostly trusted.

In short, the best people you want to have to get an article peer reviewed is professionals that disagree with your theories / ideas, so they won't have a form of confirmation bias.

@@romeunleashed2 that doesn't really have anything to do with peer review. All you've mentioned is a potential bias / conflict of interest some people can have The recognition you get is from publishing articles etc. Anyone can post to any BS journal, though whether you can get get published to a reputable one is an achievement

I also had no adult copy of at least one baby tooth, brother was missing the same one too. I did get all my wisdom teeth though, but 2 have been removed recently. My lonely baby tooth was removed in teens too I'm confused though how 2 sets of teeth fit inside an infant's tiny skull though??

​@Den Of Wolves have you ever looked up images of children's skulls, or x-rays of children's heads? It looks creepy

I have unerrupted wisdom teeth. They are there, and can be seen in the dentist x-rays, but never bothered to get out. I'm 50 now, so I don't expect that to change. They never caused me any pain or even discomfort, and without x-rays I probably would have thought I didn't have them at all. I feel very lucky, because my father had horrible aches when his wisdom teeth erupted, and the dentist had to remove them anyway.

I was born missing one wisdom tooth and also one 12-year molar! In the same place! The first time I went to a dentist after my family moved, they were very confused when they did the x-rays lol

I never had top wisdom teeth and had my bottom ones removed a couple years ago. Top ones never showed up in my X-rays. Interesting to see others with similar experiences.

I do the same. While it’s nice to be able to look up whether particular operators are left-associative or right-associative, knowing that information doesn’t guarantee that I’ll successfully write exactly what I mean all the time without fail. It’s unnecessarily more difficult to be sure I’m writing what I mean, let alone try to find and fix any errors, if I didn’t code with clarity and readability in mind. The cost of redundant parentheses is almost never worth considering. The cost of uncertain code is significant.

Cats are liquids ^^

There is a lot of work to do to correct all of the misinformation things like movies and TV have spread just because pretending the disorder looks a lot funnier/interesting if they exaggerate/make up its symptoms.

Yeah, I agree it can be harmful. But I think it's also worth remembering that a lot of these people are teenagers just doing a dumb thing. They're just kids trying to figure themselves out, which is something almost everyone goes through. People see someone and think that they are grown because of their looks, but they still have a child's brain. Adolescents can be extremely intelligent and deeply thoughtful, but they are still children, at the end of the day. Sometimes they just want the same validation that they did when they showed macaroni art to mommy in Kindergarten. Idk this turned into more of a essay on adolescence. I absolutely agree with you I just society in general needs to be kinder to teens and young adults.

@@Virtualblueart yeah there should be a lot more outrage towards mainstream media for spreading harmful stereotypes. But I guess it's easier to attack young people who probably do have a lot of mental health issues, even if they are wrong about the ones they think they have.

Yeah, they often have depression, anxiety, hypochondria, or something else yet to be diagnosed.

@@Kfroguar We've all been there? Speak for yourself. I've NEVER faked a disorder or self-diagnosed. My stupidity as a teen was literally just being socially inept(due to being undiagnosed neurodivergent), and not much else.

Most lightning rods are designed to prevent lightning strikes by dissipating the electric charge. But in some cases lightning rods are designed to draw and deflect lightning, for example those on the top of very tall buildings and towers.

Even without them, lightning ALWAYS strikes the same place at LEAST twice in the one flash of light. The initial connection (strike) is invisible to the naked eye, so by the time you actually see lightning, it's on it's second strike to that spot at least.

I sucsessfully diagnised my own medical problem. Mostly because I had weeded out the most likely things by going to the doctor. So I went to the next most likely thing that fit my symptoms, and it ended up being correct. In the end the fact that I had a working hypothsis made me emotionally prepared for the fact that I might need hearing aids in my late 20s by the time the doctor confirmed it. It ment I had knew about the surgical options and their potential risks too, and was able to speak calmly about what color my knew hearing aid would be insted of trying to argue or bargin, or deny the need for such a device. Had I not pushed I might not have gotten a diagnosis or help because my hearingloss was outside the norm, and hard to pin down.

I love that channel! Can you remember anything from the title of the video so I can find it more easily?

Other than that though, they’re shockingly accurate with their math using the wrong numbers.

It sucks that you didn’t have good teachers growing up. Maths is rather fun when you get the hang of it, but bad teachers make it so much harder to get to that point. As someone who does love math, I am glad you can enjoy Click talking about it. Math is cool.

@@ladynoveldragon7505 It really comes down to arithmetic for me. I was once humiliated in a high school algebra class for being the only one that correctly wrote out the problem, but messed up on the arithmetic (we weren’t allowed to use calculators). My dad is a geotechnical engineer and did his best to help but it was always arithmetic that got me. I went to small private schools who basically ignored anyone that couldn’t keep up. In a wonderful twist of events, I not only became a translator and linguist but also a programmer. I still get anxiety whenever I see basic math problems even though I do them all the time without noticing. But if I notice… my heart rate goes up a bit. 😬

imagine if people had cliccy wiccy as a teacher! 🥺

Do you have dyscalculia or a different one I don’t know

@@bananasarebetterthanlifeitself It’s a mix according to my doctors. I’m also autistic but there’s a lot of anxiety/trauma from a young age mixed in. In first grade we did timed tables and my teacher didn’t care how many you got correct, but if you finished in time you got to stand in front of the class. This then lead me to frantically writing wrong answers down sometimes that naturally my mind started to remember as “correct”. I relearned it all in college for myself, but I still get anxiety when I realize I’ve done math of any kind in my head and always double check.

Please do try it. Its purpose is to help with your focus. However, if it makes you feel bad after a few weeks, stop taking it or try something else. ADHD meds weren't really for me, but it was worth trying.

I've been taking ADHD meds for about 2 years now, and I'd say they were a good choice for me. But I had to go through many different types and periods of time to figure out what works for me. Good luck.

I'm one of the gazillions of women who wasnt diagnosed until later in life. Going through the diagnostic process with my young son was eye opening, going through it myself was life changing. Medication is amazingly helpful

it took them 17 years to figure out i had ADHD despite being tested as a kid for it. I mentioned I thought I had ADHD for as long as I can remember, and I'd always be told I've been tested for it. But I was tested when afab people didn't get the same treatment as amab children, because it was 2000 fucking 4 when i was born 😭 with other things as well, such as DID, it's so hard to advocate for yourself and I can 100% vouch they can and will ignore or misdiagnose someone for it, whether they intend to or not. But aside, I hope youre doing alright and that these two weeks have been okay for you!^^

Note Before Reading: Please pardon my writing syle: I'm aware I default to clunky structuring, and I'm learning to rework that. Also, no I am not an old man, (lol), yes I am nervous about being misinterpreted, no you do not have to read what's in parentheses, though I'd advise to if you intend to reply, as it includes context that rewords what was previously said and deters misunderstanding (Ideally). With all that in mind, please enjoy, and have a good timezone. :) Important Part: similarish story here. I was struggling with what looked like anxiety/depression, and years of different medication/therapy had to happen before somebody pointed out that there looked to be something more. She thought it was autism (which I'm not mad about because that's what she's talented in counseling people through, and she does it with kindness, understanding, and persistent [platonic] love) but it was enough to get me tested and get diagnosed with ADHD. It meant the world to understand what was going on within my brain, and most of my answers came from the internet, from people with it giving me the words to understand (said-as-hard-science terms were vetted of course, mainly from my irl copy of the DSM-5, while community-made terms were only used out loud if i heard them from at least 3 individual sources, preferably more but I only searched passively [passive searching, a term I thought of independently and haven't seen anywhere, is my own preference, not whole-heartedly recommended for everybody]) the humor-laced approach to commonly felt problems that let me relax, treating myself with understanding. The Point: in my opinion, the internet can and will overblow mental health problems or spread misinformation, though the latter (imo) usually clicks the most harmfully with people who are looking for a reason to tear people down/be noticed (though the noticing bit can be not meant harmfully as well, especially when they make innocently intentioned videos of their own that aren't created to tear people down). But a good rule of thumb (again, imo) is to only pay attention to those that don't romanticize or exclusively make light of symptoms. Tiktok is a minefield for that distinction, since people have gotten good at making it believable if you don't intrinsically understand what's poo. RU-vid shorts have been helpfull for me, especially this one creator who looks at it from the outside in, to educate partners/significant people of/to those that have ADHD. I forget the channel, but I'll dig a lil and post it as an edit on this reply if somebody asks for it- if you dont want to/can't ask, the wife (owner of the channel [?] and the one with ADHD) has half blue, half... blond or brown or perhaps black (maybe idk lol, it just looks natural to me) hair, and portrays her experiences having ADHD with brutal (as in not framed as innocently adorable) unsanitized honesty (within YT guidelines of course). The lattermost part of that is what I whole-heartedly recommend in looking for in an influencer of this type- if they frame it adorably, it's a bad sign. Addendum, does not need to be read unless replying: I did my best to write this inoffensively (since this type of topic can be tangled, in the sense of being overflowing with personal emotional reactions) specially in explicitly stating which parts were in my own experience/opinion. Please don't come at me for those unless you are legitimately concerned I'm spreading misinformation, taking into account that what I stated as working for *me* can and honestly most likely *won't* work for everybody. I intend those parts to be taken at face value, and actively encourage reworking them so they work for you- heck, just using them as inspiration is extremely encouraged in my perspective. Also, please, I beg of you, please don't take this as mansplaining or talking down to you. I've recently started carefully curating which words I use in this flavor of online interaction to best avoid societal biases/perspectives, deterring misunderstandings that end on hurt, but I'm still learning how best to be aware of that and may get it wrong. With that in mind, please try to read what I wrote/am writing without using your own associations for the words. While I don't expect anybody to do that perfectly (humans thrive on personally curated patterns after all lol), I would appreciate a legitimate attempt, because personally explaining my own biases for every word with more than one syllable would be impractically unreadable. Farewell and Goodbye Blessing: So, with all that in mind, (the addendum comes off as extremely paranoid, which is 98% accurate, and for that I'm really sorry, it's a me problem😅) I hope whomever's reading this has a good whatever, and that tomorrow is better than all the days preceeding.

She was 4, the person was saying age was 2. So she's actually 44

@@crossanddream2 that’s… not correct. Nice try though.

Let’s try this again, but simpler! B=2 S=4 Because 2x2=4. B=40 S=42 Because if S is always 2 years older, then when B is 40, S has to be 40+2.

@@crossanddream2 n-no. Her sister was 2 years older than her then. So she would be 2 years older that her now. If op was 40 she would be 42. Do you understand?

Wait, autism actually can cause tics? Thank you for validating our experience

@@Shashu_the_little_Voidling yeah OCD (which also has tics) and I think Tourette’s are both under the neurodivergent umbrella with autism, adhd, etc. It seems like there tends to be some crossover between all the different neurodivergence’s symptoms. So plenty of ND people who don’t have Tourette’s may have tics

​@@lexbel8394 That explains a lot. I'm autistic and ever since I was a child I've had facial tics. I never knew there could possibly be a connection so learning this is a huge relief. Thank you so much

What the hell is “slight disorder softcore ADHD”?

​@KitTheAnkafolk good question, though I prefer vanilla.

Yeah, it really sucks. I'm really adamant that proper mental health acceptance and awareness doesn't stop and end with depression, anxiety, adhd and autism. It's so frustrating to me how much people's beliefs on mental health are still so hecking boxed up.

These days, in UK school, children learn phonics, so the letters are described as you would sound them - you say "ah, buh, kuh, duh, e, fuh" etc.

this.

Mmh, and you can also have Tics that aren't tourettes. I was experiencing Tics and everyone told me it was tourettes but turns out they were due to anxiety

And shelters will lie about a dog's temper to get them in a home. Or deny people over the smallest shit for a dog. Like they have an intact horse, oh you can't have a desexed dog.

Yeah, and similarly to humans, if you breed with those closer to sharing your genetics, the more likely that inherent genetic problems will show themselves. Similar to how all orange-haired cats are extremely likely to have poor heart conditions.

@@kevinfrench9753 yeah, definitely some inbreeding going on In those places and once the dogs can no longer have puppies or have the wrong temperament they get rid of them in the worst ways, abandonment and selling them to fighting rings as ‘practice’ it’s actually sick.

More breeders are driven by profit, though there are many who temper it with concerns for the welfare of the animal and will do background checks. However, they are breeding for the purposes of selling the offspring. Most shelters (though there are despicable ones out there, too) are driven by the desire to rescue the individual animal and more thought goes into the adoption.

It's almost like there should be regulation or something...

haha it was just a funny scene that came to mind, hardly an argument for or against

This is mostly true but Also technically not true. The flashpoint of gasoline is well within the temperature of an ember it's just throwing it into a puddle that wouldn't do anything. Even then probably one out of 100 times it might work. If a cigarette was actively being smoked while in contact with gas it would probably light gasoline pretty easily.

29:13 Idk Why He said," SCREW YOU PEMDAS!!" (American version of BIDMAS) Bc You would still get 16 based on your example so he got it right for the wrong reason. I think The division sign isn't the problem. It's actually if you treat "2(2+2)" as "2 x 4" or "{2(2+2)}". I think I figured out why people Are thinking of the second one(Including myself at first), it's because of good old-fashioned ALGEBRA SIMPLIFICATION So if we had an equation like"2(a+2)" We would multiply the whole bracket converting to 2a+4. People pretty much confused themselves to use this multipling the "WHOLE BRACKET" strat resulting to getting 1 instead. Btw here's another way to get 16 by making it all fractions So we make it (8/2) x (2+2/1). Then we merge it to one Big fraction of (2 x 2 x 8)/2 x 1 resulting to 32/2 Which gets simplified to 16. If you at the end of this comment, I would like to thank you for reading this Math Ted Talk *Edit ( It's also because of lacking multiplication sign based on the other comments of this topic.)

I actually have DID and because of "Fakeclaimers" i'm scared to tell people. But there will be times where i am not me and its so complicated to be around people who don't believe me or don't know. People should neither fake illnesses nor just fakeclaim everyone who's symptoms aren't textbook examples

This! I’m ashamed to look back at myself just a few years back (14-16 years old), as i was in a really bad place, and was getting sick from stress, and this stress manifested itself as tics-like behavior. Blurting sentences and words, and involuntary movements. This history of symptoms helped me getting diagnosed with adhd and autism, as masking, that is a common symptom of both diagnosises, will often cooy other behavior. I know the movements was involuntary to some degree, as i have multiple scars on my arms and hands from the movements, but i’m 99% sure it was simply the stress of being undiagnosed, that pushed my brain to copy. I never had tics, i had stress, and unknowlingly masked my behaviour, to look like i had tics, and as i myself believed it, i tricked my brain into not being able to, well, hold it back. I believe the “fake disorder trend” is a symptom on something i am sure is much more depressing and serious. Most people who get disgnosed late with personality, development or attention disorders, will show symptoms of other disorders that they do not have, before they figure out what really is wrong. I felt broken, and in order to “fix it”, my brain took something i knew about, and began showing those symptoms. I am ashamed of my behavior then, because i can now see that i probably faked it, but the thing is… i didn’t know i was faking it.

@@vintereventyr_ it sounds like you had psychosomatic symptoms. That means they aren’t caused by your body, but by your brain. Like getting a stomach ache when you’re stressed. It doesn’t mean you were faking, just that there was a way different reason for you to feel/behave the way you were.

because of this trend, I have to go through doubt on whether how I’m feeling is a mental illness or just me being stupid. Its hard to think of my health because of these horrible trends.

@@TheEldritchKnight1317 same here but with OSDD; r/fakesystemcringe just makes me scared of getting harrassed even though i know im not faking.

To me self diagnoses is one of the first steps to professionally getting diagnosed, for me it'll take a while cuz my parents will probably just be like 'so your crazy ' when I tell them I might have autism 😀

@@apersonig4250 same, although in my case my family probably just wouldn't believe me bc they think of certain things as the kind of stuff that happens to other people, not someone close to them

Yeah you can't really get a formal diagnosis without self diagnosing first. Also, in many cases, especially when it comes to mental health, a big part of formal diagnosis consists of a psychologist reading back the traits you just told them you have.

Over time, through the internet, I learned I have lots of symptoms of ADHD and autism. I do have a proper diagnosis, but I couldn’t have been able to get it without knowing the symptoms from the internet.

I self-diagnosed before getting a real diagnosis that was the same. Saying that, I was super careful and made sure to not jump the gun. If you name out a couple of the right symptoms for anything you could come to the conclusion you have that issue. (I have a pretty strong internal fantasy world, but that's because I'm creative and enjoy world building, not because I have schizophrenia, for example.) I came to guess the right set due to listening to a lot of people and deciding which facets I had and which ones I didn't. In the end, I was willing to be told I was wrong and go with what the doctor said, which I think is the right way to approach.

The only way I can think of to get 14 out of those numbers is 8 + 2 + 2 + 2, the divide sign kinda sorta looks like a messed up plus but I don't know how he could have mistaken ( for +

If you think about it, the division symbol is just a minus with two dots

I spent 3 minutes looking at the thumbnail thinking how can 8 be mistaken for a 0 (based on the logic that 0 multiplied by anything is still 0), before I actually read the title and now I feel silly 😂

The answer was 16 Edit: I forgot about the multiplication

You're only starting? Already thinking about going to bed here. It's a pretty good Saturday speaking from the future, enjoy it :P
