this is the first one i found in my files that i was like oh yea. this made me lose it

^ OK SO BASICALLY when you grow tired it lowers the efficiency of your cognitive functions, including parts of your brain that deal with emotional regulation and impulsivity. this causes people to be more susceptible to making impulsive decisions when they are tired. its not frequently seen in extremes, but it IS a commonly recognized phenomena.
> whats up chickensmoothie i literally just responded to this to answer trilli's Probably rhetorical question i just had to share my knowledge
v we are learning in the forums today tell me a funfact that you think is really cool

[kkermit.]

I'm a medical student, so here's a few that I think are very interesting:
- The pituitary gland, which regulates many of our bodily functions through hormones, is the size of a pea or a kidney bean.
- In the same area, the hypothalamus is a major part of the nervous system, and is also the size of a pea.
- Melanin also determines the color of our hair, freckles, and age spots.

There's a BUNCH more, but those are the three that I found intriguing.

^ Thank you for your wisdom, dear chickensmoothie user coffin.
> I wore heels for the first time in awhile last night and I have a nice blister on my pinky toe.
v Continue the fun fact train: what are some fun fact(s) you find interesting?

Hmmm... Let's see. I'm an electrical engineer so here is a short version of how a gas turbine works c:
(if anyone is interested)

The turbine compresses the air, alongside fuel, which ignites, turning the mixture into gas. This gas causes the
blades to spin super fast, which turns the drive shaft. This movement powers the generator. (This is where it
gets a little nerdy) Inside the generator, there is a rod connected to the drive shaft as well as a large magnet.
As this magnet is spinning, it causes the electrons to move through the surrounding copper coils (electricity).
This creates a magnetic field and powers the generator. Sparky sparky, boom boom. c:

Wow! Medical student! I can't even begin to imagine what that must be like. I have heard it is grueling.
Sometimes I wonder if it is anything like Greys Anatomy haha.

I am finishing my contract to the Navy soon and I have mixed feelings.

How is your day? Anything exciting you are looking forward to?

[Chevalier]

Well, it's 01:45 so I suppose it's a new day. I'm looking forward to making tomato soup today :-)
^ Navy sounds interesting. I know nothing about it apart from the UK ads.
> I sent my mother some pictures of stuff I found on Etsy, like a necklace I was thinking of buying. This is not particularly strange, however she is now going to know that I was sat here at nearly 2 in the morning scrolling for bird related things on Etsy.

v Favorite bug? if you dont have one Favorite thing in your room?

[sky,]

ooo that's a hard one. I like moths and butterflies. Praying mantis are cool. Are slugs bugs? I don't know. I really like
bugs haha.

I wish I could be a snail and take a nap for 3 years haha. You seem like such a sweet person! c: Also. I LOVE chocolate
covered pretzels.

I currently have a 3.5 month old baby and it's just me (no partner). I think I am going a bit insane from the lack of
sleep. He is the sweetest baby. Seriously, the best ever. But man.. can someone hold him for 5 min so I can power
nap?

What is your favorite animal in the world? If you were to have this animal, you would give in and snuggle with it forever. c:
