Do you mean the stoned ape theory? Never have seen it interpreted in that way, but it’s weirdly comforting and I kinda want to believe it now. Makes humanity feel less lost when there could be some fungi buddies looking after us, secretly manipulating us into becoming better beings.

Are you by any chance from Korea? Cause that hysteria about “fan death” seems to be a prevailing urban myth around there:

But apart from people with dust mite allergies and the like, where air circulation can increase the allergen content of the air, sleeping with an fan on does not come with any health risks whatsoever:

What? Why on earth should that be unhealthy?

Thank you! They get trashed on all occasions here in the fediverse and I get the animosity since every corp and their mother now wants to ride the hype train. But I’ve kinda changed my mind about AI since having been recommended two AI tools that actually cite sources for their answers (Elicit and Perplexity). They’re an absolute godsend for the literature search on my Bachelor’s Thesis

They can absolutely be useful tools if you use them right. They’re just quite overhyped at the moment.

Lmao how on earth is this dangerous? Or does this classify as ‘mixing uppers and downers’ for you? Because it definitely isn’t, melatonin is barely more psychoactive than a sugar pill

“good” lmao

Can attest that it works great, except for the dogshit sleep quality, like with almost every sleep aid known to man. (except for GHB and Pregabalin, but these have their own issues)

Lol alright Mr Freud, and right wingers are born out of a lack of unconditional motherly love, or what?

Very well put, thank you

More like toxic/stereotypically male enough.

Get outta here with that racist bullshit

Du und alle deine Kolleg*innen können ja nichts dafür, dass die Bahn durch jahrzehntelange inkompetente bis absichtlich nachlässige Verkehrspolitik bis zum heutigen Zustand heruntergewirtschaftet wurde. Wenn überhaupt, seid ihr neben den Fahrgästen ja die Haupt-Leidtragenden der miserablen Verfassung unserer Bahninfrastruktur.

Trott allem bin ich großer Fan von Zugfahren, insofern danke für deinen Dienst und deinen Einsatz, den Laden trotzdem am Laufen zu halten o7

While I don’t agree with your conclusion/personal opinion of more repressive politics as the solution to this, I still want to thank and upvote you for explaining the situation and the resulting political climate in Sweden in a bit of detail.

IMHO, none of that justifies voting for far-right or even fascist parties (like the AfD over here in Germany), but I can absolutely understand the reasons why people do it.

Fuck you Mr skeletal, get your scrawny hands off my osteoporosis
