Why do so many people believe that Tycho Brahe died from a burst bladder from "holding it", when it's impossible to voluntarily hold it in until your bladder ruptures?

    • Is their any evolutionary benefit to the sneezing reflex when looking at a bright light source, or is it just an evolutionary glitch with no purpose?

    Jump

  • TIL. I've heard a similar thing about certain smells being closely tied with the memory centre in the brain.

  • No, sneezing, as in the photic sneeze reflex. If I look at the sun by accident I'll sneeze.

    Rep. Randy Fine Implies Gaza Should Be ‘Nuked’ Like Japan After DC Shooting

    Jump

  • Gaza has a population of over 2 million people, half of them children. Rep Randy is fine with the prospect of killing a million children. because of the deaths of two people

    • Brian Carr, chairman of the FCC, replaced the american flag with Trump’s head

  • Tell me how this isn't cult behavior

    • Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work?

    Jump

  • Yes. It's worked very well in the recent Zelda games

    • Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing?

    Jump

  • Would inclusivity to people with disabilities/medical safety be included in those regulations? These "seats" are extremely ableist and it's not just exclusive to people with POTS, some people like wheelchair users also can't stand/stand for long periods either.

    This section of Jim Carrey's Wikipedia Article

  • Yeah I really can't see how they could bring him back in a way that seems plausible. Really enjoyed Carrey's performance though

    • Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025 after passing budget evaluation

  • I'm skinny and I'll pass out in less than an hour. Have severe POTS from EDS, heart went into asystole after 35 minutes into a tilt table test and they had to put me back down. I've passed out several times in other settings.

  • It can even be dangerous for some people to be in a standing position for too long. I have a severe case of POTS caused by a genetic disorder. My heart stopped during a tilt table test, which is where I was forced to remain in a standing position. If I'm expected to pay more for a normal seat just because I'm disabled, that's ableism.

    Jump

  • Why should I have to be forced to pay more for sitting seats just because I have a disability? What if all the sitting seats are fully booked or the plane has no sitting seats for passengers? It's like intentionally designing a shop with several tall steps at the entrance that would make it impossible for wheelchair users to enter, and the wheelchair users have to pay each time they shop there to have a ramp extended at the entrance so they can enter. It's an example of ablest design.

  • What about people like myself who have POTS and can't be in a standing position for too long? My heart can legit stop causing me to pass out if I'm standing for too long.

    How is it possible that some people have deliberately stayed awake for so long they died? Doesn't the brain have a failsafe to force you to sleep before you die of sleep deprivation?
