I know the idea is to be snarky and calling them “new age” somehow makes them less than real science, but the reality is there is some amazing science that has been done that shows how these different chemicals influence our brains and our behaviors. Good video on the topic with in-depth explanations from real scientists:

The scientist in the video:
I mean the point wasn’t that these chemicals don’t exist or that they’re not important for our brain chemistry, but the way influencers just make up shit about them (like in the image).
The Four Tempers are far more important anyway. Woe, Frolic. Dread. Malice.
It’s all leading up to the reveal of the fifth temper: Heart
Finale tonight 👀
I know! I am very anxious
Of what, now?
Severance
Thank you very much!
Maybe someone should teach them bloodletting.
Let all that nasty cortisol flow right out
She fartin’
Which one is Donatello?
Oxytocin is Leo as the group leader for social bonding, cortisol is Ralph because he’s always stressed, dopamine is Donny playing with his machines and tech for the challenge/reward, and serotonin is Michaelangelo the happy party dude.
I just gotta get kinda naked on the internets, beats leaches and purging I guess.
When will trepanning come back?
It’s also still useful in some situations. I had a family friend with hydrocephalus that had a hole in his skull.
Women in my bed only helps temporarily. Is there a more long-term solution?
Marry her?
Four humors? Like four types of jokes?
Don’t, they need to learn how to use the internet and not just use “their shortcuts” like an old person.
you need to learn how to communicate with people and help them instead of expecting everyone stay completely isolated and do everything by themselves.
I’m lost in all the potential /s
Yea I don’t get it at all. I don’t understand the tweet or the screenshot.
Look up the Four Humors, it predated germ theory.
I find it crazy how much niche information that some people on the internet seem to know.
Xkcd I’m one of the 10000…
It’s also crazy to realize something you think to be common knowledge turns out to not be common knowledge. We learned about the four humours in high school English because it’s relevant to analyzing older texts. I don’t think I know anyone IRL who don’t know what they are.
Well, lots of folks here, who speak English as a second language. I had my analyzing-older-texts classes in German, where these humours were not relevant to the best of my knowledge. I once heard about them in psychology class, but that’s about it.
English is also my second language, but I still remember learning at least a little bit about it. Maybe it was in history class, or maybe it was as part of the introduction to germ theory in natural sciences class
My cowoker has no idea, I just asked him. I know of them through fantasy and possibly school. We are around the same age but had pretty different childhoods.
Actually I’m playing Do No Harm right now and they’re a big part of the gameplay.
I also can’t name all four off the top of my head right now but I have information retrieval problems because my brain sucks and I’ve abused it.
Meh, you watch enough television, movies, and play enough games nowadays you’re bound to learn more than the average US education system.
There’s also this from Ayurveda.
Thst would be Boomerism
