Do You Agree?

On those nights I stay up too late, because I know I don’t have to get up and go to work in the morning.
Bored Panda got in touch with Emma N Cahill, PhD, who is a Lecturer in Neuroscience at the University of Bristol, and she was kind enough to share some details on how memory, ideas and human attention spans work. In this day and age, we were curious to learn if people can actually do something to improve their attention spans.
“Yes, we can retain more information for longer if we try to make links across ideas. This is called “Elaboration”, where we make multiple associations between things that you want to memorize. Our attention span depends on a lot of factors, including how we are feeling at the time, the most robust approach is probably to remove distractors rather than trying to increase focus. Put the phone away!”

I'll try that. 05:17 UK time and the cats are guarding me while I whimper with self-pity because sciatica is a beech!
Of course, memory doesn’t necessarily have a “silver bullet” solution, she shared. “Some types of memory are prone to interference by information that comes shortly afterwards, like how it is difficult to remember a numerical code when a few are presented in a short space of time, that relies on short term memory. Being accurate at remembering is really pretty tricky because memory is a reconstructive process.”

I didn't realize what my online order must have looked like to the guy who brought it out until I saw him trying and failing to hide a smile. My order was prep for a colonoscopy - two industrial strength laxatives and a 48-roll bale of toilet paper. You were right to be smiling, my guy.

That's a classy way to do that. Obviously the first step, but kind to give folks the chance to not embarrass themselves further.
Fortunately, it’s not all doom and gloom, once you start to figure out how your memory actually works. “People can be better at remembering certain types of information because they have practiced techniques in how to encode the information in a richer way by using associations or thinking of memory triggers,” she shared with Bored Panda.

They’re Mad Annoying Fr

Same with wasps and bees. "Look, d****t, there is a large open thing there called a window, you flew through it, now fly out!!"
This raises the question, why exactly are we struggling with remembering things and connecting ideas these days? “There are many distractions in everyday life: open tabs on the computer, the bleep of a phone, advertisements, doom scrolling and click bait headlines. These tend to be designed with noises or stimuli that are ‘salient’ and sensational, and so attention grabbing.”
“How prone we are to fall for their temptation is probably a combination of how we are feeling and whether you have learned what you want to ignore. Thankfully we can become desensitized to many of those stimuli, so we are not just doomed to react under their control,” she shared.

What is the bottom half of a mermaid? It can't be a fish, because fish tails are vertical and their bodies move side-to-side when they swim, yet mermaids have always been depicted with horizontal tails and swim with an up-and-down motion, like mammals. However, mammals have smooth skin, often with hair but mermaids are always scaly like fish. Discuss.

Someone Cash App Me $100 I’m Tryna See Something
Alexander Gräf 7 months ago
It certainly depends on whether you have that money or not. "How to I get $100 quickly" is a different question than "let's order some frivolous s**t from Amazon for $100".

My 12yo is the opposite. They HATE tomato based sauces (yes, even pizza!) but LOVE raw tomatoes. I have to buy 3 things of cherry tomatoes: one for each of my kids (they'll eat a whole container ina single sitting if I don't pay attention!) and one for meals!

What’s Your Dog’s Name?

Cats groom their claws with their teeth actually. Although it's more removing the old shells than trimming them. The most annoying thing is when a shell gets stuck in their teeth and then they're walking around doing all sorts of crazy movements with their tongue, until you help them.

My dearest friend (RIP Jeannie, I love you and miss you everyday) used to call my house the next day after a night of carousing that she did not attend, and ask who was at my house with me. She would show up at my house about an hour later with fast food burgers, fries and cokes for all of us. She said our retelling of the previous night's antics, our banter and humor, brought her joy and was ample payment for the food she brought. I am crying as I type this. Later, I realized that she was at the was beginning of the illness, unknown and undiagnosed at that time, that eventually caused her untimely death. No one is truly gone, if, and when, you remember them.

I Need To Start Working Out
Deep One 6 months ago
Being, part Irish, part scottish, and part Native American (all peoples used to living on a starvation diet in ancient times) my metabolism is super efficient. I could literally live on a small bowl of rice and a daily vitamin. Which would be great if there was a famine but sucks when you try to lose weight. (And DOUBLE sucks when you love food!)
