We are a poorly built mess
Yeah no kidding. How anyone can look at the human body and go "this was designed by an omnipotent superintelligence" is completely beyond me. If we do have a designer (which we probably don't), they definitely weren't paying any attention when creating this stupid meatbag, it's full of bugs and "features".
I guess that explains why the Gnostics (I think?) came up with an imperfect "creator god" (demiurge) that they could blame for all the obviously stupid shit we see all around us; the "real" god is still perfect and it's some damn lackey who gets all the blame for the bugs
Having one throat to handle breathing and eating is dumb. Even having to eat or breathe at all is dumb.
I look forward to being uploaded to a hive mind AI so I don't have to worry about all this crap.
The database you get uploaded to will be sold to google, you will spend the rest of eternity as part of a focus group watching ads.
Look at it this way, you're half way there compared to species with cloaca.
There is no reason to wait. Have you tried to simply stop breathing and eating?
Fuck I didn't think of that
I very much appreciate my combined breathing and eating system whenever I have a cold and my nose is completely blocked.
In general, the mouth is a good alternative air channel when you prefer to sacrifice air filtration and smelling fiction in return for increased air flow. Not just when you're sick but also when you're doing strenuous activities.
I have R-CPD which is a condition that causes me to not be able to burp typically. I just got a treatment done to enable me to burp, Botox in the upper esophagus to weaken the dysfunctional muscle in there. This means it has been especially hard for me to swallow for the past few weeks while the Botox was at peak efficacy. Now with that said...
The amount of times in the past few weeks I have choked like this is unreal, relatable as hell. Thanks for reading if you stuck around, I know it's uninteresting
I found it interesting, and hope you are blessed with plentiful burps in your future!
I agree that it was interesting! Do you have to repeat the procedure regularly, or is it a one time thing?
For most people it ends up being one time as your body "learns" how to use that muscle
“Are you ok?”
Yeah, I cough yeah, hack uh I think a bug flew in my mouth or something. I'm sorry, that's gross.
OP, next time I have this, I'll remember this meme, start laughing while choking, suffocate to death and it will be your fault.
Don't worry, I'll be sure to tell your story so that people remember how @hades@lemm.ee went out.
Ahhh😭 manufacturing defects
Oh good, I thought I was the only one with a self destruct protocol that embarrassing.
Yeah, it mostly happens when I'm excited. I guess it has something to do with spontaneously inhaling your saliva or sth.
This seems to be a genetic thing too.
In my family there's my great gran, her two sons, the oldests daughter and me and my sister who all have that issue.
This only happens when I finally get to nap.
The main reason I quit smoking (aside from the chest pain, the smell, and terrible lung capacity.) It still happens once in a while but not like every half hour like before.
fyi this happens to people who are anxious or adhd
Wait, what? What part of ADHD would cause this?
Sighhh unzips
