I didn’t read the “in med school” part and was expecting the reveal to be that she actually took a material science course.
I mean bones are also just fancy structures so …
That’s biomechanics and the main thing you learn in it aside from statics and dynamics is that living osseous tissue is a strange material and it bends so much more than you think it should
it bends so much more than you think it should
Especially if it’s in a child. Weird kids and their weird flexible bones.
Yeah I think about stress everyday too. Not that I have a choice though.
I majored in stress working in retail
I work at an understaffed convenience store/fast food fusion. The amount of people who make their dogshit life choices my problem makes me look longingly at tall bridges.
I feel your pain, truly. Stay well fam.
You have time to think? You and your luxuries!
Ah well, not the first time I’m fighting biology as a trans dude!
Fighting biology sounds metal as hell, rock on dude! 🤘
Stress: The mind overriding the body’s natural desire to choke the ever-living fuck out of some asshole who desperately deserves it.
lemmy is one of the few platforms where i’m happy to see a post i’ve already seen months before
Some posts do deserve a reminder
Did we ever figure out why we evolved brains that produce cortisol?

Also, humans are not machines, we need rest and relaxation. It’s debatable for why, but life would be a lot more boring if we didn’t have a need for relaxation, art, recreation, etc. Just pure work for survival.
Because people who are born lucky enough to have an easy life are likely to have more kids.
Using cortisol to magnify that improves selection bias.
The rest is math.
Evolution is a bitch.
Uh, poor people tend to have more children than rich people.
Immagine what it could be if the cortisol mechanism didn’t work
Not us, that’s for sure.
That professor’s name? Robert Sapolsky.
