  • Plot twist: Great minds think alike, so they all have the same ideology.

  • Not every observation has to result in a conclusion.

  • Well to be fair, land bugs have harder shell, and are therefore more uncomfortable to eat.

  • You should make less worries about this.

  • Some people have such a weak presence that most people simply don't see them.

  • Okay then, no worries. In my eyes, the constant dry heaving is a purification technique that helps to remove the impurities from the soul of the human ex.1. So, you shouldn't feel too bad about it. One day the symptoms will disappear probably, and you will feel better than before.

  • Sorry, I am an atheist and a skeptic, so I’m afraid that is not something I personally buy into (I am not judging you for it, everyone needs to decide this sort of thing for themselves as far as I’m concerned).

    Yeah, I get that, and I don't want to be an obnoxious walk-from-door-to-door guy. I'm just telling you about my own observations.

    I was in a pretty similar situation than you are in right now. I get the pretty strong feeling that there are parallels. I was an atheist myself when I was younger, but my own, personal observations and contemplations made me change my mind. So it might be something for you, too.

    Again, I don't wanna be obnoxious, but I have many things to say, and maybe they would speak to you.

  • That's a very interesting story.

    I too have trouble eating anything solid sometimes. It's just too much. I couldn't digest it, I couldn't even swallow it. But fortunately, the supermarket where I live sells liquid food, basically like a milkshake, for low price over-the-counter. So I drink that a lot. It's not "normal", but it works for me. Cheers.

    Also, what do you personally believe the reason is? Do you have any spiritual thoughts on this?

    So, I'd like to explain my personal view: In older times, it was believed that spirits sometimes take possession of humans. These humans are called "schamans". That causes a series of symptoms, including: dry heaving (especially during the "initiation" period - the initial phase). This is supposed to "clean the body (and also the mind)". The stomach is seen as the "center" of the human (because it is almost completely in the center of the human) and the dry heaving is kinda "throwing out" bad thoughts from your most inner self. During that time, to not complicate the process, people don't eat solid food, because eating solid food would require greater physical strength, and the stomach is busy. TL;DR: Dry heaving is IMO a spiritual "cleaning" ritual, and not eating solid food simplifies the process.

  • Actually, a friend of mine used to do this. She was pretty. ~

  • I believe it's really just like silicate sand. The problem with microplastics isn't actually the plastics itself. Plastics itself is chemically inert and therefore non-toxic. The problems are:

    • Physical: larger junks can cause constipation of the digestive track, which is a problem for some sea animals.
    • Chemical: Plastics often have additives that give them special powers, like blocking UV-light. These additives are often toxic, unfortunately. This is why producers nowadays try to minimize the use of additives in plastics. But still, they are there.
  • Yeah, I see that. Actually, it's only about the carbon that is pumped up from the earth. Nothing else matters (with respect to climate change). It's doesn't even matter how many trees are cut down, as long as they re-grow.

  • Nightcore is actually how I got into Anime, through the song "Moonlight Shadow".

    Also is that a reference to something or r u inviting me to chat in a funny way? X3

    No I was being funny, in my own weird way.

    When you list two things, one conventional ("eat") and one unconventional ("nightcore"), people expect you to elaborate on the unconventional. Instead, I elaborated on the conventional. Funny because unexpected.

    But now that you mentioned it, yeah I do invite you to chat or sth. Unfortunately I haven't installed Matrix yet or sth, so I don't have a client. (I actually exist outside of the matrix as of right now - now that's a reference to something).

  • You can put the glitter glue in your face and call yourself a princess.

  • Nightcore's my fav thing, besides eat. So if you wanna eat, come to my place.

  • I guess lots of people just like to talk.

    And writing responses like that comes close to that. I understand it, kinda, because I use to do the same. When somebody writes me some message or sth, I often reply with a short (but still unnecessarily long) text. I even do this when I wasn't directly talked to. So that's a habit.

  • Ok, thanks for the note.

    Apparently, fresh urine is not completely sterile, but almost sterile.
    In the german Wikipedia, it says:

    Da auch die untere Harnröhre nicht völlig keimfrei ist, enthält Urin beim Austritt bis zu 10.000 Keime pro Milliliter. Allerdings sind diese in der Regel gesundheitlich unbedenklich und indizieren in dieser geringen Konzentration insbesondere keine Antibiothika-Therapie.[65][66] Zum Vergleich: Speichel enthält rund 100 Millionen Keime pro Milliliter.[67]

    Translation: "Basically, urine contains 104 germs per millilitre. That's very low count, considering saliva contains 108 germs per millilitre. [...]"

    (Translation by me)

    I got that wrong in my head. Probably, everything is only almost sterile, not completely sterile, except if you look at another planet. But for practical purposes, the number of germs is often negligible.

    Apparently, they used to pee on each other's wounds in earlier times to disinfect wounds. Since pee was much closer to being sterile than anything else they had access to. So that's where this thought comes from. (Source: Someone told me this years ago.)

  • Fresh urine is supposed to be sterile, unless you got a serious problem, anyways.
