Reminds me of this classic …
Oh god the mario kart speedrun video essay marathon in lieu of sleep was literally me a week ago
I don’t think I believe this… Everyone likes Mario Kart!
But your cells don’t.
I’ve got a few dozen neurons who’d disagree, and they’re calling the shots
I knew there was a reason I was killing them with booze.
I hate when my brain sees “hmm we’re low on water and food, what shall I do?”
and instead of making me hungry and thirsty it just goes “I know! I’m going to activate the ‘pain-o-matic 9000!’” and gives me a headacheI have this little habit I programmed in my brain
When I feel irritated, anxious, or uncomfortable, I go through a checklist.
Is there a direct reason I’m feeling this emotion? If yes, continue. Otherwise…
Do I feel hot? Am I thirsty? Am I too cold? Is there a bad/annoying smell? Have I been sitting still too long?Am I sick, or sleep terribly? Is my brain chemistry just off today?
Usually I get up and walk, and occasionally I remember to actually get some water or turn on a fan… But more often than not, I’m just too hot and my brain didn’t bother to tell me
oh my God, the number of times I’ve been really pissed off for no reason only to realize it’s because the shitty baseboard heater suddenly decided to crank the fuck out of itself and I’m just melting fuckin hot after getting up and feeling that my back is wet…
why does my body suck at noticing that sometimes?
And on that note, why the fuck do modern thermostats not take humidity into account or let you set them to at least half degrees F? It’s really simple math, and should be easy to do with the existing hardware, plus a couple cents for a humidity sensor if they don’t already have one they’re not using
But no, we get touchscreens, custom backgrounds, an app to manage it remotely, the ability to schedules and beep when you press the button…but I can think of no reason why they wouldn’t do simple things to make them more comfortable
Isn’t that a sign of low blood sugar?
probably? I just googled it and that seems correct, I also match the other symptoms like being dizzy too, but I assumed that was because of iron in my blood or something because my sister gets that. I usually don’t eat food until like 4PM on days that I have school which is most likely the issue 😅
I will probably have to start eating breakfast now and see if that makes a difference. Thanks for telling me, I’m excited to see if it makes a difference 🤗Be careful with that. You can give yourself hypoglycemic reactions that will result in long term hypoglycemia if you don’t eat enough. I certainly seem to have done that
Dehydration, hypoglycemia, caffeine withdrawal, stress, exhaustion, and so many other causes.
Doesn’t happen to me. I usually crave some food category (like fish for example) and that’s what i needed.
If you pretty frequently crave fish, you should probably take a vitamin D supplement.
Basically your body knows that fish oil is rich in vitamin D.
I listened to a lecturer about some research on nutrition from early 20th century and one had kids who were freely offereda wide diet, so they could take whatever they happened to crave for. Some might grab a handul of salt and put it in their mouths but then that would be enough, probably spitting half away at least. Then they continue with fruit and water or something.
One kid had rickets and while the others kids never touched fish oil, this kid craved it and took healthy glugs. For like a few weeks or months I don’t remember, then he got cured of the rickets and never wanted fishoil again.
Wanting snacks is like the most basic, it’s just basically your body yelling “brainfuel (glucose), now”, and that varies way more throughout the day than say deficiencies in micronutrients like vitamin D.
Also the kids never ate like too much salt despite grabbing it by the hand. It was early 20th century but they tested sodium level and whatnot imo.
So yeah eat some vitamin D bro. I take 50ug a day as I live pretty far up North.
Similarly, craving red meat is often a sign of iron deficiency. It can also just be protein cravings, but if it’s something that happens often try some iron pills
Also a sign of anemia (which usually isn’t simultaneously a sign of needing protein) is eating ice.
If you recognise yourself as genuinely wanting to aways crush and chew the ice in drinks, checking iron levels might be in order.
You should probably be taking like 50,000. It is very hard to absorb through the gut.
Please don’t.
Vitamin D — unlike vitamin C — is not water-soluble and you can take too much.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D_toxicity
The Finnish authorities often changed their suggested daily amounts, but 10 and 20ug are more common and 50 is already on the higher side.
I tried taking 100ug a few years ago but I then got joint pain and think it was actually too much with my diet.
So I’ve found 50 to be good for me. I don’t get sun. Like it’s genuinely been weeks or months when I was in direct sunlight. I can’t even recall.
Body: I need water.
Me: Every pizza is a personal pizza if you believe in yourself.
All that water just takes up precious pizza space.
In eating competitions, they dunk their hotdogs in water so the buns take up less space in their stomach.
As I get older, I start to view eating competitions less as fun and awesome and more like illness.
Like most high level sports imho.
You say that and it’s funny, but it’s also sad and true.
Meanwhile over on c/hydrohomies:

Everyone is saying water but there is a feeling that most people seem to not recognize. Needing electrolytes is distinct from hungry or thirsty but just as important. If you crave a salty food that might be what you need. I figured it out by hiking and getting that feeling.
If you find what you were looking for was fish sticks and custard, then you may be a Time Lord!
Or a gay fish
90% of the time it’s water
