not mine saw it on r/gnostic and thought it was funny asf, didn't wanna make people click through reddit for it.

yeah it gets lonely in there. Some of my coworkers get weird about but idk I worked with men exclusively for like 2 years and like yeah. They gotta (for the most part anyway). The healthy ones just don't do it in the hall.

I started taking Valerian for sleep again and when I was double checking the side effects and interactions with my current meds I saw "extremely vivid dreams" and was like OK well since the clonidine I haven't really had the terrifying nightmares anymore so it'll probably keep that from happening and tbf what happened was I got eaten out by an illithid and I don't actually consider that a bad dream so overall 9/10 they're not perfect but they're pretty great.

There's a small amount of evidence that the frequency cats purr at could be used to stimulate osteocytes and increase bone density in older women with osteoporosis and maybe even astronauts someday.

me but I'm a night RN who sleeps the same hours on off days and has 4 random days off weekly

I like the witches who tell people to buy carbon monoxide detectors. One time I told a patient with abusive auditory hallucinations that her nighttime zyprexa was gonna shut the stupid bastard up and she was welcome to ascribe whatever spiritual interpretation she liked to that.

Dude needed to goon.

Pretty sure I'm going to find myself in some kind of mass migration by highway, get identified at a checkpoint as politically unacceptable in some way, then get moved to a large empty sports stadium with about 1-2 hundred other people, then get marched out onto the field and shot. I saw it very vividly in a dream that did not fade after waking up.

The other day a patient came up to the new nurse I'm orienting to awkwardly request "Vaseline and... idk. Something else I guess?" And she, in complete seriousness, asks if he needs toothpaste or deodorant maybe? Meanwhile me and my less new coworker are making prolonged and intense eye contact, each of us daring the other to break first. The patient eventually settles on socks (I would likely have suggested a washcloth or tissues, but I digress), which my oblivious coworker goes and grabs for him. Afterwards, due to both this and some other instances, I was just like. "Girl. Are you ace?" and she was like "omg how can you tell? ...I'm missing subtext again aren't I?" She's not even a new nurse, she's just new to us. It's like she has so low of a drive personally that she can't even register horniness as a possible motivation for other people.

Honestly it's probably way closer to the true neolithic diet that humans evolved to eat than scheduled meals are. And you're even describing the right things to eat that way, nuts, berries, a lil jerky. There's a lot of cultural variance too but honestly what our comes down to is that humanity's biggest strength that has allowed us to become as powerful as we are is our fundamental versatility.

Even just in terms of food: koalas can't even recognize the leaves of the one plant they eat their entire lives if they're not on a tree but humans can walk to the other side of the planet and look at a plant or animal and be like "wonder how I'm gonna cook that." That is AMAZING and you're saying you think that's bound by a schedule? You think humans spent time on the migration path going "nah I'm gonna skip that berry cuz it's not lunch yet!"

there's really no "right" way to eat other than daily / weekly balances of carbs / fat / protein / vitamins / minerals / water.

3 square meals is more like a pre-osha workplace safety thing for people doing manual labor since the meals need to be packed into a neat little meal break so they can get back to work, but the calorie requirements are so extreme that they need to get packed in thiiic during that meal break. Basically if you were a self respecting foreman of an old timey construction site you made sure the workers were eating "three square meals a day" to make sure they'd be working at peak productivity.

if you're not building a railroad or stonework or skyscraper or carrying a roof up a ladder then grazing or intermittent fasting are fine as long as you're getting the right balance of micros and macros. and when it comes to weight loss, gain, and maintenance, different people have different relationships with food that are often managed better with one strategy vs another, in ways that vary a lot from person to person.

looooooooong boi
