This lazy panda forgot to write something about itself.

When I was a teenager I had an irregular heart rhythm, and required a medication called adenosine. Adenosine is usually given via infusion just once or twice, in hospital under careful monitoring, and the side effects include an 'impending sense of doom'. This side effect relates to your heart beat temporarily stopping. This fires signals to your brain, telling you it's time to panic. Or you've reached the end. 'Impending sense of doom' doesn't begin to describe it. I was told in advance, but nothing prepares you for it. I went from sitting on the hospital bed, just finished a sandwich and thinking about my year 11 exam, to suddenly being certain that I was going to die here. I've never felt so sure of anything - I couldn't move or speak, and my mind suddenly raced very fast, to the extent I couldn't keep up with my own thoughts. It was similar to what you hear about your life flashing before your eyes. My brain was drowning, and telling me to find more oxygen - even though I was breathing fine. I was suddenly sure this was a nightmare, that this hospital was fake and all the doctors and nurses were actors, and I was poisoned. Then it was over in seconds. I haven't had a single heart problem since. Caridina • upvoted 2 items 3 days ago

Apple. The entire company. The entire product range. The whole thing is a scam from top to bottom. Paying double what the stuff is worth for a subpar operating system and the privilege of being locked into their ecosystem and their predatory app store. Their anti-competitive business practices are disgraceful and I hope the SEC/DOJ burns them to the ground. What they did to the USB-C ports on the new iPhone is a new and special level of s****y. Seriously people, stop buying Apple's overpriced and poorly made garbage. Caridina • upvoted an item 1 week ago

Centralia PA, Its a ghost town in Pennsylvania. Somehow they managed to set a coal mine on fire and its been burning since 1962. There are still a few people living there apparently but there are noxious fumes venting out of the ground so the government doesn't allow new people to go there.Show All 19 Upvotes

The Island (2005) had a great premise. Would have been good if it was sci-fi horror genre instead. Like if they focused on the mystery and suspense of slowly revealing the truth about "The island". Instead we got a 3/10 movie filled with car chase and explosions.Louis_Louise reply
Gonna say Wild Wild West. Steampunk western? Hell yeah. Admittedly, I enjoyed the movie as it is, despite many valid reasons not to.EinTheDataDoge reply
Jumper. Cool idea of a secret society of teleporters, and the idea of someone becoming aware of their powers, and running a afoul of them. Lotta missed opportunities and Hayden Christensen was terrible.IFoundTheCowLevel reply
The Hobbit. It should have been 1 movie but was artificially stretched out to 3 s****y movies in an obvious attempt to cash-grab.regretoni reply
Avatar the Last Airbender Still sad about that one. Nicola Peltz was a nepotism hire because her dad was in the biz.Show All 10 Upvotes

Irukandji jellyfish grow only to about 1 cubic cm in size, but have an incredibly painful sting. One symptom of the sting is a strong impending sense of doom. Victims have begged their doctor to be killed as they were certain they would die anyways.This Panda hasn't followed anyone yet
