"How does meat think?" 🤣

It's simple: Dreams are when we roll our eyes back into our heads and see what we're thinking (or so I decided when I was 4). It still makes a bit of sense to me :-)

It’s weird, I have aphantasia, so I can’t visualise things in my mind’s eye, or “picture” a thought. Only found out like three years ago people can actually SEE images while thinking about something. But I have always had very vivid dreams, and I lucid dream a lot. I still remember some dreams from 45 odd years ago, too.

There’s research that suggests it’s a byproduct of the brain ‘washing out’ and replenishing neurotransmitters used up during the day.

I can remember every dream I’ve ever had since I was 5 to the point where there’s a literal cinematic universe in my dreams and locations I’ve been visiting for years that don’t even exist. My friends think this indicates I don’t sleep well

I get surround sound and panavision. My dreams are fun.

I don't know how I managed to be able to do this, but if I have a dream go in a direction I don't like, I can concentrate and change it. Although I wake up in the morning with a headache from hèll though.

Yes why lol, I’m good at interpreting dreams ,but I’d love to know how we dream n why , n also why a lot never dream at all 🤷‍♀️n why some of us can recall all our dreams ,every bit of em , I can it’s freaky lol ,

Easy to answer, the brain processes and sorts memories and thoughts during sleep and utilizes the visual- and audio areas for it too. The areas for motion are usually disabled so we don't actually act. What really s***s is being conscious while dreaming because it's not really relaxing

When we find out, the next thing would be figuring out how to s***w it up.

It's super annoying, too, both for the person who has it (me) and the person who shares their bed (Mr OG).

I used to lie awake as a child trying to think about this and just freaking out

"Two people can keep a secret, if one of them is dead." - Ben Franklin, or somebody

Yes, so weird. But... if nothing existed at all, would be even weirder. I cannot wrap my head around either option.

It's a tough diagnosis. I wish you the best of luck in your treatment.

Webb telescope is seeing even more mysteries as it goes.

This isn't a mystery at all: he's a dog. He first appeared in the 1932 cartoon "Mickey's Review," and was originally named Dippy Dog. This was changed to Goofy in 1934, with his first appearance under that name being "Orphan's Benefit." The difference between the two is that Goofy is an anthropomorphic character, and Pluto is not.

The lack of a big sample size is what is standing in the way. Around 1400 samples, mostly fragmentory and heavily damaged, by comparison Linear B has over 6000. Another reason is that most of those are also quick notes instead of full sentences, and we have zero bilingual references. We have deciphered numerals in Linear A, and have some clue of fractions, and a few are close enough to Linear B to make a guess. Note also that Linear A doesn't encode a known language, we don't know Minoan, and we don't know if all Linear A texts are in the Minoan language.

Look up "sea peoples" on youtube. Unknown people from the sea (duh) attacked the countries around the eastern Mediterranean, about the same time as a long drought. Only the Egyptian civilization survived.

I just read a study where the participants had a DNA analysis, then were asked to think of their favorite relative for 20 minutes every day for one month. At the end of the month, the participants' genetic expression leaned more heavily toward that favorite relative.

Unlike most religions who see God as some kind of magical being, I believe God, or some universal consciousness we may call God, is more akin to a scientist and evolution is their way of creation. And some of their experiments yielded horrifying results 😅

How can a ‘before’ exist before the creation of time itself? Humans are a foolish species to assume that we have the capacity to understand the very fabric of reality when all we were made to do was survive on a planet we were tailored for. Perhaps in a billion years we may have evolved the capacity to understand the universe we live in but not today

It is known that sleep is a necessary biological process that allows the body and brain repair, restore, and recharge. During sleep, waste is removed from the brain. Other biological processes occur so all this is what sleep actually does.

But what is it expanding from? The idea of a humongous ball of nothingness that exploded begs the question, how did it explode?

He and Elvis ran off to East Timor.

When I had hiccups as a child my mum would say "hiccup again and I will give you £20" . I never managed to get that £20. Not once.

A black hole is not actually a hole, so why assume one could "enter" it? The other side is just the other side. Like the other side of our sun from where we're currently located. We do know that we could not currently survive approaching closely to a black hole, because the gravity would stretch us. I think OP is thinking a black hole IS a "worm hole" - that that's a fact, but we just don't know how worm holes work yet.

Genetics and lifestyle would play a big part.

Slime moulds, with no nervous system or anything like a brain, can learn. Our understanding of "intelligence" is perhaps very limited

I find yawning contagious. I yawned when I read the word, I yawn just after the cat yawns etc and will keep on yawning until I distract myself with something else. (I yawned multiple times whilst typing this out)

Around here, it seems that a lot of missing people drove into a body of water. A lot of multi-decade old cold cases have been solved lately due to drones, satellite imagery and improved sonar devices.

Not true. It's often stated as such, but it's simply the case that like a lot of d***s we can only drill down to a certain molecular level. There is not real mystery waiting to be solved - they know what it does and how it does it to the level of detail required.
