The brain one made me feel bad,kinda. Imagine you dying then you’re brain being “Cmon bro wake up, we’ve been together for 30 years don’t die on me now”
Well in case you somehow start suffocating, you have limited amount of time to free yourself before your brain says: "Okay, soo I am the most important part of this body and I need the most oxygen to run, so I'm gonna shut down all of the non essential processes in the body so they don't waste precious oxygen." What happens is you first can't move or do anything, and shortly after you pass out. This is how soldiers subdue enemies nonlethally by choking them until they pass out, but this is also very terrifying since unless you free yourself on time you're gonna die.
@@jozokrstanovic9040 it makes sense but at the same time i just love that the brain is basically like, "alright screw the rest of you im just gonna take the oxygen for myself thanks" and ruins the chance for you to get out of whatever situation that has you suffocating
@@Monochrome2004 Brain is extraordinally brilliant and dumb at the same time. It kinda works like an overworked senior that after you struggle takes your work but does it badly.
I once stayed awake for 3 days; by the end, the folds in my pillowcase started moving like they talking, although I didn't hear any sound. I said out loud, "Well, that's my limit, then", went out to the living room, curled up on the couch and fell asleep for 18 hours.
I've stayed up for 5 days straight just to experience the hallucinations (i was a dumbass teenager) but it didn't do anything. I wasn't even tired. that was what really freaked me out cuz i saw a study where this guy died after only a week of staying awake. im built different- (Woah, 121 likes?! Thanks :))
I once stayed awake for 5 days to absolutely milk this event in a game and by the end i would blink and my vision would black oit for like a second and it was so fucking weird
Once, back in 2018, I stayed awake for about 50 hours, with a half-hour nap in between (after the first 16 hours). 30 hours later, I started hallucinating voices and I felt like I was living in a movie. It took me months to recover from that. I did it because I had procrastinated the entire semester and it was already Wednesday and I had a 200-page project due Friday at 6 p.m.
I once stayed awake for 4 days and had depersonalization for a month. Best way to describe it is as if your conscious awareness lagged 1 second behind your actions, so it felt like my body was moving, talking, eating etc on it's own without any input from me. My best guess is that staying awake causes problems of its own but if you dont get enough sleep to clear out the toxins that built up, your brain gets corrupted and can take an even longer time to clear the toxins out, and as those toxins linger for too long they cause a delay in your conscious processing sort of how light travels slower in water than a vacuum
@@seyiselaton that’s not what it is. it isn’t cutting half of your brain off; it’s actually just severing the connection between the two brain hemispheres. Theoretically, you could survive without most of your brain, in the same fashion as mike the headless chicken.
I recently found out my 3yo is not a candidate for this surgery because her seizures come from both sides of her brain. Her father was holding her at 49 days old when he had a seizure and fell on top of her. It’s hard because everything with her is “wait and see”.
My body is more like that old push mower that hardly ever starts. Every day when I wake up, my brain spends like half an hour yanking the cord trying to get it to start. Periodically throughout the day, it stalls and I dissociate.
kind of hard to believe this considering that it took another brain to type this but even then all this existential nonsense gets extremely boring and tiring after seeing so much of it you just stop caring
@@fabulousimcatbulous690 depends on your racial class if you're a Hispanic like myself your a little bit sturdier than other classes but the fear of it is higher
@@smcool0514 Made me remember the ultimate weapon of my teachers, the CHALK. It's not only deal direct damage, it even have 100% chance to cast *silence* to entire class room. Only the thrower is immune to that effect. I guess its already become some sort of ancient weapon now.
10:15 "Unfortunately, if the body listened to us we would all die very very fast." Our jaws are strong enough to crush our teeth. Our teeth and jaws are strong enough to bite off our fingers. Our body won't let us, because it's smarter than we are.
crying is a natural human bodily function, and not a sign of weakness/guilt tripping method, in fact its healthy because it releases a lot of stress hormones, so anyone who says they don't cry or tells someone to stop crying obviously isn't human. take that one to school with you, kids.
Yep. My mom used to tell me to stop crying. I'm 28 years old and just recently learned it's a good idea to take some time to cry if I feel the need to.
I imagined it like a friend or family being next to their recently dead friend or family member, desperately telling them to get up and that it'll be fine as the person's lifeless body just sits there, and now I'm both disturbed and depressed
Yep! Was in the delivery room with my sister when she had my niece and we all heard a loud pop and my niece’s collar bone had broken. They wrapped her with a bandage around her shoulder and down across the opposite side of her abdomen. She looked like a beautiful little ginger haired cherub baked potato She’s now 27 and even more gorgeous now! 🥰👼
We didn’t find out my daughters collar bone had broken until her first appointment 2 weeks after she’d been in the NICU. We took her 24h after she was released and the pediatrician pointed it out. No one at the hospital even knew.
That whole "brain likes stimulation even if there is none" also applies to pilots and people who work in snowy environments. The "autokinetic effect" is where pilots percieve stars moving while flying, tricking them into thinking they can see a moving plane. People in blizzards sometimes percieve moving colours and shapes due to the Ganzfeld effect even though they're not actually blind.
"People with low heart rates have been known to pass out on the toilet because their bodies csnt handle the *shit*." Please tell me i am not the only one...
This has happened to me twice now only when I have had extremely bad stomach pains like food poisoning. I'll feel myself start to pass out, but what helps if you ever feel that was is to lean forward and put your head below your knees or LAY DOWN! As soon as your head is below your heart or laying down, your blood pressure can stabalize again. It works for me within seconds I'm ok again.
Iirc, you normally use about a third of your strength. In life or death situations, however, you become much, MUCH stronger, allowing you to do things that wouldn't otherwise be possible. I remember in school, a rock climber got trapped underneath a slab of rock that weighed over a ton, and was sliding down the rocks fast. However, he managed to throw the rock off himself before he fell off into a cliff and got medical attention. The reason your body doesn't use this strength for day-to-day activities is because, when using your full stength, you run the risk of quite literally ripping the muscle off the bone. As you may have guessed, this is an automatic response and cannot be controlled.
Ya, you can tear your ligaments, whole muscles and really hurt yourself. That's why lactose gets injected into muscles when you overuse them to simulate what we percieve as tiredness to stop us from tearing muscles. Also working out is litteraly tearing muscle fibers so your body thinks you need stronger muscle fibers and then your body builds stronger muscle fibers in the form of more of them so bigger muscles.
This is called Hysterical strength. Women are more likely to experience this. Humans have mentally blocked our ability to use our maximum strength and since men are usually the ones doing the heavy lifting it is harder for them to break their mental conditioning and experience this. It's also why people who are mentally ill are so strong, it's because they live in this state of life and death constantly. It's also the reason if you're ever in a bar/group fight you want to stay as far away from the little guys as possible. It's the reason some professional hunters get mauled to death by bears but a 41-year-old woman who doesn't know the first thing about fighting can wrestle with a Polar Bear for over 5 minutes and only receive mild bruising.
More like Tsunade jutsu(forgot the name) than edo tensei, cuz y'know edo tensei need like 2 people to make it work -the caster -living human sacrifice Meanwhile the Tsunade jutsu is not
I’m a person with a right sided heart. Recently went to a cardiologist appointment and told the nurse that was doing my EKG that my heart was on my right (because she was putting the stickers on the ‘atomically correct’ way) she told me I was wrong because she never heard of that before. 🤦🏼♀️ also, that doctor is right, it is amusing letting med students try and find my heartbeat on the left side and see their confusion 🤣
@@anncabras3961 you’re uneducated, that’s a myth that is easily provable false, it takes about 1485 newtons just to cause fractures to the average adult finger, less than 1% of that can break a carrot in half
My brother got part of his brain removed at age 29 because he had such a severe form of epilepsy. He hasn’t had seizures since (except a couple after the first threeish months of the seizure) and had no personality changes or anything, which was a huge concern. It’s been a little over 3 years since the surgery and he’s doing awesome!
2:20 i actually know this because i suffer from a birth injury where not only did the drunk doctor herself break my collarbone, but she also gave me permanent nerve damage where i was born with a dead arm. and yes ive had several surgeries and no longer have a dead arm
That brain one made me sad it made me feel like I was leaving a long time friend alone while he's just like "c'mon man get up stop playing with me bro I know you're there"
Don't worry, the part of you that's thinking these dark thoughts is your brain, thus it's the other way around, your brain being left behind to die as well by your already dead body
My voice is actually higher in my head than when I hear myself recorded. I always think, "Is my voice really that deep?" I don't hate it, it actually makes me feel more like an adult because I've been stuck with 15-year old me's voice for the past 15 years.
I think I sound like a foreigner. Granted, I utilise English as my secondary language of three. But I believe I am fluent in its sentence construction and pronunciation. The recording shows otherwise. I am disheartened to admit that my pronunciation of words sounds different from that of people that speak English as a primary language. I learned British English, in Canada, by a woman that spoke French as her primary language and English as her secondary language.
@@indridcold8433 I mean, if you learned English from a non-native English speaker, it would only make sense that it doesn't sound entirely right. The most important part is that you are able to communicate a message, accent or not.
I see faint patterns... almost like the patterns you associate with hippies and LSD type stuff. Just it’s very faint. Though if I’m looking at a black wall in a dark room, I could see anything from a flower to a demonic clown.
Yes! My dad had a LOT of his arteries blocked due to smoking and we found out that his heart just straight up MADE ANOTHER ARTERY (ventricle? I don't remember) so that the blood could flow. He got a triple bypass after that but yeah.
The average adult human rectum can stretch 8 inch diameter without serious damage (atleast once). A adult raccoon can squeeze in a space that is about 4 inches in diameter
I'm a teacher and last year I had a set of identical triplets in my class. I could not tell who is who even if my life depended on it (and they wore uniforms so no chance to tell them apart based on their style). Thankfully they were very quiet and nice girls so I never had to interact much with them. This year I have identical twins. Also very good girls.
I drive a set of identical PRE-K triplets to school for my special needs bus route. My luck is pretty lousy, wish I had that kind of luck with my cryptos, lol. Rowdy, but very sweet girls. We had a game going on at our bus station where one of the office ladies gave everyone a small rubber ducky with a number on the bottom. It was a raffle game they started on April 1st and continued for a couple months, and I got number 101, the "lol" duck. I was never a fan of their goofy events, so when one of the girls got on the bus after school in tears, I let her have it. Apperently she still carries it around. Last week she had it in her hand while she was climbing the stairs, and her mother said something like, "you're taking your ducky?" Sweet girls. Maybe my luck isn't as sour as I think it is.
@@tabbycat5547 It's not that they don't talk to them at all, but more that it's probably not the case where it would be necessary to do so. All of my past teachers have barely ever said a word to me, and that's probably because I've always behaved well and usually wouldn't need any help with the schoolwork.
I knew identical triplets in middle school. They had to be transferred to other classes because they were horrible together, so one was in 7.A, one in 7.B and one in 7.C. I could generally tell two of them apart, but it was hard getting the two who I couldn't tell apart down
Fun fact: If all else fails when you are in a frigid environment, your brain will try to save you by diverting blood from your legs, arms (mostly from hands and feet) and your *heart* (a tiny bit, just enough to live) directly to itself, in most cases, it will enter a catatonic, comatose or vegetative state and as a last gambit before entering this state, it will send a signal to the rest of the body to curl up in a fetal position to ensure even spreading of heat throughout the body and knock out until it senses warmth. That’s why when ever you randomly wake up in the winter when your arm or any other body part touches a Luke warm heater or any source of heat (roughly the same temperature as a kitchen sink when it’s middle heat).
20:55 I swear the same thing happens with music. The same song that I'll skip instantly in my playlists will have me jamming and bopping when played randomly on a radio.
EMT here, can confirm, no way in hell am I gonna let you go use the restroom when there's a chance I can get you to walk to the ambulance, not trying to play pickup sticks with a passed put PT in their undersized bathroom full of clutter while my partner stands in the doorway and laughs instead of helping.
flight crew...for some reason people who are about to pass out always seem to think they need to go to the restroom. Every single time someone fainted (ie: not seizure, heart, or other medical issue) they were on their way to the lav. Often they make it to the back jump seats then down they go. If someone looks a little pale or off and heads into the lav, you bet I'm being hyper alert. I'm not weird, I'm worried! and listening for a thud so I can help.
@@MsMirthling Every time I fainted, or almost fainted I only wanted to lie down because I felt losing grip on my consciousness like trying to grab an icicle. I knew I didn't have much time and didn't want to collapse and hurt myself. Happened about 3 times without warning. Once I managed to get to a couch and elevate my legs on the arm rest and managed to prevent completely fainting.
The hallucination type called "prisoners cinema" is actually sketchy as hell. Soldiers on sentry at night staring from their trenches at treelines report seeing all kinds of funny things ranging from random lights in the woods to silhouettes of people to giant easter bunnies with guns. All while awake.
I actually get this a lot and rather quickly too. Sometimes i can form the shapes my brain comes up with so it isnt so bad but man have i seen some trippy stuff. I also sometines get weird visions when i close my eyes, i see like a grey object like a cube or sphere that just gradually either get closer or larger and i can never tell which, my body ends up giving me a wild vertigo sensation when it happens. Its weird because even sky diving or actual diving never has.
@@crossgear3042 i see a green and purple geometric shape thing that gets closer but doesnt and changes. Cant quite pin what it is. When i was a kid i couldnt sleep until i saw it. I could usually make it happen every time i close my eyes at at night. I forgot it about it for a long time until i saw this comment
@@nathanjohnson6416Interesting. I always saw several “dots” in a cluster just floating together and they could be different colors. Not bright colors or anything but slightly different. Every time I closed my eyes when I was younger is see them. I’m my 30’s I rarely see them anymore.
6:34 my sister had this done it’s called a Hemispherectimy I don’t think that’s how it’s spelled. But because of a severe brain injury and infections. Half of her brain died and was removed to stop sever debilitating headaches. And slight seizures. Due to her brain injury she has the mental capacity of about a 6 year old even though she’s 13. She has various other problems and it’s a miracle that she can walk, talk, even see at all. She’s the sweetest girl I know and I love her very very much.
When I was a 12 years old, i watched a Hollywood Sci-fi movie "Annihilation" and there was a particular scene where the intestine of a person started moving like snake and man was yet alive. That scene freaked me out. I was traumatized for next couple of week. I started fearing my own gut. After the movie I tried to feel my guts and i seemed that I can feel their movements or maybe I was just imagining. But it made my life hell for next couple of week. It was the most traumatizing, grossed moment for me
This is also the reason we know it's impossible for humanoid giants to exist, to be that tall their muscles would be so heavy it would crush their organs and cause internal bleeding.
Here's a fact: stretching activates the stretch reflex, which actually contracts your muscles instead of relaxing them. If you want to relax a muscles you need to reciprocally inhibit it by intentionally contracting its opposite movers. However, reciprocal inhibition does not always work as you'd think as there are weird mechanisms like the lombard's paradox at play.
15:40 I was once stabbed in the neck and it severed my spine, but luckily, I saw it coming in time so I could transfer my consciousness to my stomach. I only suffered recent memory loss.
In addition to the “your organs will kind of just move into place on their own” bit, it’s even more true with the intestines So long as both ends of the small intestine remain attached (ie, you don’t loop the ends around each other like your tying a shoelace) it literally doesn’t matter how it’s put back in after being removed, it will wriggle back into place, even untying itself if it got knotted up I think it can even unwrap itself from being tangled with other organs
Mesentery that innervates and supplies blood to the intestines: "Yeah, that's right, fuck me". you don't just pull the gut out like it's a free-floating tube, it's attached to the posterior abdominal fold through almost its entire length, barring the colon.
I have always liked being able to close my eyes and just Let the images take over. Sometimes its random shapes and colors and sometimes its much more detailed like slowly flying in between tall skyscrapers or people. It helps me fall asleep since I'm not consciously thinking.
When I recently watch/think about something that naturally scares me (although I try to believe I'm not scared of it) I get scared of the shapes and I can't remember the colors...
I stayed awake for 5 days (I have insomnia, but it's gotten better. 5 days is my record). My college class was in a small room with 11 other people, watching my teacher via satellite. I remember finally feeling like I could sleep but I couldn't miss the lecture. About 3 hours in to the 8 hour class, everything went silent. The walls turned bright green and shattered into bats flying around. After that stopped, my hearing returned. I excused myself, went home and slept like 12 hours. I hope to never experience that again.
The fact on the myocardial infection might have just helped me find peace in DNR'ing my mom after multiple sudden heart attacks. Not going in too deep but she's had history with heart problems and had major heart arrhythmia for a whole month. sigh...I'm depressed 😔
This is actually a medical dogma (myth that is accepted as truth). There are trace minerals our bodies need that 90% of people have either never heard of it didn't know we actually needed them. Most are not in most people's diet, and depending on your overall health or daily activities, a deficiency of them will cause the aneurysm. Copper, believe it or not, is such a mineral. Selenium, for example, most people have never heard of, but has the ability to stave off cancer due to its effect on free radicals; that's all cancer breaks down to -- unchecked free radicals and internal cellular inflammation over years and years of bad health habits. Crazy stuff. Those of you that feed your dogs or cats good quality food, next time you buy it, look at the nutrition label and prepare to be shocked.
@@MrHEMI260 I wonder if more people on the east coast of the USA have aneurysms? Everything East of the Mississippi is deficient in Selenium. Needs to be taken in conjunction with Vitamin E, iirc. Effects cows too.
The whole hallucinations to stimulate your brain when you close your eyes made me notice that I often had that a few years ago but now I can barely see it. It used to be bright greens and purples and reds bursting and changing like a kaleidoscope but now it’s just a few dull shapes
I've experienced the opposite of sleep deprivation. I had prescription sleep aid, and I took 10 of them. Slept for two days with a couple of 10 minute moments of awakeness. After I was fully awake, I thought I was a month ahead of where I was because the dream I had was so vivid, but it was my normal life going on in the dream for a month instead of two days.
The area exactly in the middle between the stomach and chest, if hit hard enough, will make your body automatically reflex inwards, the same goes for the area between the chest and the neck, but takes softer blows for it to do so.
@@ascegd2225 In Karate (and probably other martial arts), you are trained to tense the muscles below the chest to not get winded or reflex. I was once training against a 6th Dan black belt and when I finally connected with his stomach area, it was like hitting a wall, it hurt my hand. He and the 8th Dan Sensei just laughed at how long it took me to get past his defences. I did get my 1st Dan that day.
@@Thurgosh_OG Has a coworker that was able to do that, would bet guys they would hurt their hand if they punched him. I always told him no. Then one day he kept running his mouth about everything and asked me to do it again, and after months of him haranging me I finally said yes. I dropped him in one punch, he didn't just reflex he fell over and curled up on reflex. Gasped like a fish on land for awhile before he could relax and sit up. I finally told him I wasn't saying no because I didn't think I could do it, I kept saying no to protect HIM. Karate and general martial artists usually learn; never ask someone that knows how to box to punch you. We punch much MUCH harder than you do while having builds similar or even smaller than your own. I know martial arts, but learned how to throw punches from my Navy boxing champ grandfather. I can dent steel doors without any damage other than split skin on the knuckles.
Did you know that there's more than one vein they can draw blood from in your arm. There's actually three. They also can draw blood from the top of your hand. Learned this while donating blood to a nurse training program since they need around 25 draws as part of they're certification.
I’ve always wondered how weird it feels to regrow a liver after donating or receiving one. I’m imagining something akin to pregnancy or an intense internal itching and gas pains.
0:51 That part about the bony ridge is something I learned with my ex. We were kissing and my tongue hit that ridge on the roof of her mouth. I was confused but decided to roll with it.
I think I have that bony ridge. Because when I’ve tried telling people about where to put their tongue when saying a specific word or something in school, I always said, “you know those two pointy bumps on the top of your mouth?” And they’d be confused by I thought that was an everyone thing lmao
Can you describe where it is?does it go in a straight line straight back, or side to side, or is it above and around the teeth in a semi circle? I might have it if it’s the part above the teeth.
@@Sunset553 It's a straight ridge right in the middle of the roof of the mouth, headed straight into the back of your throat (though it doesn't get that far).
I had a Vagus nerve reaction from doing a blood draw, but it was more from the needle bit of a blood draw than the actual blood. Pretty much they failed the first try and were going to try again, and then my entire body suddenly went numb and I felt like I was going to die. I also threw up a few times and had to sit there for like 20 minutes before I could even think about getting up. I learned two important lessons about getting blood drawn. 1. If they fail the first try, just stop and come back another day. 2. The closest clinic with a lab for blood work to my house is absolute shit. When someone has a Vagus nerve reaction, you are supposed to lay them down to make it easier for the blood to flow back to the brain. Instead they just left me sitting straight up feeling like I was going to fucking die
I've had the same reaction many blood drawings before, even watched them and I'm okay. One nurse tries fails and it hurt then all of a sudden I'm going cold and nauseous. When it's never happened before. Didn't wanna be accused of being a pansy but had no explanation till now sadly.
one time my aunt was doing that, she failed three times, i didnt feel weird, but i was starting to get nervous cuz it was the first time that i saw her failing
I have given plasma plenty of times and I love looking at the needle, blood, and stuff. But when I was donating blood once, some lady who had no idea what she was doing couldn't find my vein. She stuck me about 4-5 times and I started seeing stars. I had no idea but I had to tell her to stop, and my nearby friend had to tell her to stop because she apparently didn't believe that my vision was going black, though I think I said it at least a few times. So yeah, messing with intravenous stuff can trigger it in anyone, even seasoned plasma donors.
My favourite human body fact is we're the only species that is built more for running great distances rather than running very fast. One of our early ancestor's hunting techniques was literally 'You can run but you can't hide'.
Yes it only takes 15 pounds to rip an ear off, but the skin covering the ear is elastic enough that there would have to be a nick in the skin to be able to do it with that low amount of force, since it take way more force to tear human skin. A human can't regenerate destroyed portions of the body like a lizard can grow a new tail, with the exception of the liver. You can be a living donor of part of your liver and it will grow back, all while the transplant will grow into a full sized liver in the receiving patient as long as their body doesn't reject it.
As a small child I did honestly believe that the colors left the world in the darkness, because the second the light switch went out I saw this massive swirls of rainbow colours dancing around, forming fractal patterns (didn't knew the word back then) and often forming cartoon figures up to whole scenarios. It faded out once I reached puberty. It was unbelievably beautiful and when I really concentrate these days I can kind of see an echo of it at night. Good to know it's a known phenomenon and I'm not just plain nuts 🤣🤣🤣
The 30% muscle power thing always blows my mind. I really don’t think it’s that low tho but whatever. It’s crazy to think we just have extra strength doing nothing because our bodies are just to weak to hold itself together. I think that if there was a way to medically raise that limit we would see records broken left and right. The caliber of athletes would rise drastically. Over several generations the durability of our bodies would increase due to increased stress.I’m sure there are some scientists working on something like this somewhere but it seems so cool to me.
I doubt the durability of our bodies would increase by itself like that w/o further input by natural selection. By the way, some athletes probably managed to come close to these limits. Check out something like Eddie Hall's 500kg deadlift. Man passed out afterwards, had a bunch of veins pop, suffered some amount of memory loss and took some time to fully recover. Pretty scary stuff.
6:40 my best friend has Cerebralparase, basically her whole left half of the brain doesn't work. Her right brain took the control over the right half of her body. She lives a normal life except of some phantom pain and her right hand not working properly. She can move her right hand, she just can't do like very percise movements like writing. Our brains are amazing
Another fact about real muscle strength. During a lightning strike the muscles are stimulated by the electricity and can reach 100% of their strength. Their strength is enough to break bones and disconnect joints, which is an uncommon thing to be found in the bodies of lightning strike victims.
About the eye immune system: you won't go blind immediately (though your body will try very hard to make it so). It hurts like a bitch for a while and then you go get treatment for a while and then you're okay. I caught mine a bit later than ideal (turns out 5-6 local doctors was not the right people to see regarding this, you need an eye specialist or else you'll get misdiagnosed) so I have a cool scar where my iris is a bit misshapen, and thankfully no vision problems.
5:54 As an EMT the reason I don't want you to use the bathroom is because I wanna get back to eating my burger I had to leave at the station as soon as possible
When you touch a hot stove, the signal gets sent to your spine which sends back another to your arm to take it away. The pain does continue on to your brain tho.
Also, the spine is dumber than the brain, so it activates the whole arm, making you curl your fingers. This can cause you to touch the stove for longer, so people recommend touching things that might be hot or electrified with your backhand
Sleep deprivation seriously messes up the human brain. Some people have a higher tolerance to that but, I think you have up to 5 to 6 days before you go either absolutely nuts or sleep while standing. After some time, it is impossible for someone to stay awake on their own. They will take maybe really short naps in some moments in the day to keep them going. It can be so short or so sudden that, you may not even remember you slept for a couple minutes. You can force someone to stay awake or mess up their sleep cycle to slowly deprive them of rational thinking. It can make you lose control of your thoughts or actions. At one point, you don't even need to sleep to dream.
3:35 I've actually been paying super close attention to this for the last 2 weeks. My nose got stuffed, and I noticed when I swallowed, saliva got shoved up into my sinuses. I've been practicing swallowing the "adult" way, and that kinda(?) cleared out my nose. Age 22. I can finally eat solid foods.
it takes about 12 hours to dissolve most of a human body with H2SO4, but 2 days to dissolve the bones. Edit: why is this so liked Edit 2: most liked comment for some reason Edit 3: why tf do people like this
I feel like I have a very rare sleep disorder that I can’t find. Like, literally so rare that you can’t just google “rare sleep disorders” cause it’s so rare. I can’t fully explain it since I’m sleeping most of the time, but I go through a continuous and sometimes completely uninterrupted cycle of REM, where I can dream for literal hours; almost the entire time I sleep. And it starts shortly after I fall asleep. If the dreams stay uninterrupted, my brain behaves like I’m going through just one dream cycle. On extremely rare occurrences, I will begin displaying sleep-walking-type body movements. I will start to try to move as if I’m fully awake, and I’m completely aware of this. I have been like this practically my entire life, and can remember my dreams in detail years later. On the other end, I have never experience sleep paralysis and might never. I haven’t even come close to sleep paralysis because I am able to force my body to start moving when I am consciously dreaming. It wakes me up, though, and I hate to do it because my dreams are like interactive movies you get to play a part in without the actual repercussions from things like injuries despite feeling them. I can smell, feel, read, it almost is just like being awake and experiencing different lives. Extremely intense. Unfortunately, since I am fully experiencing the dreams like they’re reality, I also experience the emotions and relationships. I develop the bonds the dream me develops. I used to wake up mourning the loss of the relationship and my lover, but I’ve come to cope with this by thinking of them as the same entity with different faces; just like dream me is still me, but different bodies and faces. I essentially will live my life normally in these dreams. People think I can’t separate reality from them, but my dream memories have a different memory storage than real life. My brain compartmentalized these dreams into their own section of my memory. Unfortunately, I think this may cause issues with recall memory for my real life. I can recall dreams far better than I ever could recall real memories. It fucked me up, so now I suffer from this. On the upside, I have tons of material for stories. Translating the dreams into words is far more complicated than people think.
@@evastapaard2462 I did; it did not apply. I cannot control my dreams, and I do have lucid dreams on the rare occasion; these dreams run on their own and without my conscious influence. I just sit back and enjoy the ride, otherwise I stress out and wake up.
I was recently hospitalized for what turned out to be "diastolic heart failure". My heart is pumping ok but my left ventricle is not filling like it should. Even walking around my room can make me short of breath right now. My oxygen saturation drops, sometimes quite a bit, with even mild exercise. So yeah, heart problems definitely effect your oxygen levels.
0:41 my moms cousin almost died like that. he found this long copperhead snake like looooooong boi and they can move around even when dead because of this. the snake was dead he killed it and he wanted to show it off "hey dudes i caught this supper long copperhead like 5 feet!" "you did not" "bet i got him right here oh shi-" he was fine after the hospital but yeah dont touch dead snakes or any dead thing (bacteria and or venom)
13:48 for yall who dont speak unix operating system, sudo is a program for unix-like computer operating systems that allows users to run programs with the security privileges of another user, by default, the superuser. so if you want real shit done, ya gotta use sudo.
21:15 the reason why people get flung out by a strong electric shock isn't like an explosion or anything, it's literally the electricity contracting the muscles as hard as possible
saw this first-hand, my grandpa was in agony while dying of cancer and no opioid helped so he broke most of his teeth clenching his jaw. I wish I could erase this from my memory but it's a fact
That's why if you want to torture some with the electrocution you need to put rubber or something that doesn't conduct electric between there teeth so when they clench them they wont hurt themselves so you can repeat this action over and over again
Fun fact, idk if it’s true with everyone but when I practiced meditatation, I also accidentally simultaneously practiced self induced hallucinations. I can now self trip with lucid dreams. it’s awesome. The curse of that is: I now also, have what I call “thought dreams”. Instead of my usual, visual, movie type dreams, with tons of vividness, and hyper-real imagery. I now have dreams where I’m literally just talking to myself like I would normally when I’m awake, no imagery, no colors, just thoughts that never have a direction or conclusions. They are almost as bad as just staying up the whole night thinking pointless thoughts. So win some lose some.
i literally dont throw up no matter what unless i do it physically i could think of like spoiled milk w/ gum and blood and not throw up i also dont react at the sight of blood and i have an unusually bad gag reflex so i just could shove my fingers down my throat and not gag
@@The_True_Mx_Pink of course. With that kind of gag reflect it's easier to insert something that is not only long and hard but also need to be moved around. Make a Dentist job easier, isn't it?
6:52 to clarify they dont remove half your brain they simply disconnect one have of your brain from the other so it is no longer able to communicate with the other side and this stops the seizures in some way I can’t remember. But both sides of the brain are still very much used by the body. But in some cases for certain things removing parts of the brain is necessary and well since we all know you can’t grow back more brain what happens is quite fascinating as parts of the brain are reallocated for certain tasks and new pathways are formed etc etc. the brain repurposes parts of itself. Very adaptive
I have one that blew my mind when I found out about it - the body has the ability to push a baby out by itself. It's called the fetal ejection reflex. There's something else that plays into it, called the "fear tension pain" cycle; the more afraid you are during birth, the more your body tenses up, which increases pain. It's a survival instinct that tells your body that you're not in a safe place to have your baby, which makes it slow down the birth process. Oh, and the fact that laying on your back isn't a good birth position since it decreases your pelvic outlet by 30%. I feel like more people really should know about this since loads of women think their birth experience has to be shit, but it can be a great experience when it's done the proper way.
