How does consciousness form from neurons and neurotransmitters? Why do I think about stuff? Who even is "I"? |

the brain works by the same principle as a slinky. when you are born they put your brain at the top of set of stairs and let it go. at some point towards the middle of the staircase there is an ant colony, and when your brain passes it, it gets covered in ants and then you can't think clearly. this is what's known as going 'over the hill'

the secret to living forever is to get an upward escalator. be careful not to get a downward one or else you basically live to be five and then die of unslinking brain

neurons are okay but if you can manage it try to upgrade to morons, they're better because there are more of them

Oh, come on. The brain is a THUNDERSTORM of thoughts and emotions and --ZAP--- you're thinking about your dog! and while you're posting you --ZAP-- you're thinking about this very thread! the brain is a nebulous cloud, yeah, but --ZAP-- I should sign off before the lightning takes over. ---------------- |

the medulla oblongata is an important part of the brain that lets you identify squished-sphere style medullas. surprisingly only cool people are born with medulla cubeatas, which let them identify squares such as yourself.

some say the brain is a mystery, but that's incorrect because it actually classifies as survival horror since 1996

brain drain is actually a serious problem if you don't have a proper brain septic tank installed. the brain can come out through your skin and stink up the place

letting something weigh on your mind is very unhealthy as the average brain cannot bench more than six grams at most, and some heavy thoughts can be up to 2.3 kilos

regardless of what your self help tapes suggest, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FREE YOUR MIND. any brains off leash are subject to a $2000 minimum fine. you don't even want to know how much it costs if they have a brain fart.

watch out for things people call 'brain food'. if your brain learns to eat on its own it won't need the rest of you

ever see that PSA all "this is your brain on drugs"? well its literal bc when you do a drug your brain turns into an egg. if you do enough drugs they hatch and develop into their own independent women. this is why ladies are occasionally referred to as 'chicks', which is offensive because it reminds them of their former drug abuse problem.

take care not to get a song 'stuck' in your head. there is on average only a 3.5 mm gap between the skull and the brain and thats barely enough room to fit a jingle.

"you see, son, when two neurons really love each other, one of them will put their axon next to the other's dendrite and they'll start sending chemical signals between each other, and that's how thoughts are born! the more these neurons love each other, the stronger those thoughts get. you know how i know i've got a bunch of those love-cells in my head? because they're sending their thoughts out all the time. thoughts like 'it's a good idea to have unprotected sex' or 'i think you should get an abortion'"

Describing someone as a "brain box" is actually a highly offensive reference to an early Soviet computer program involving using boxed brains to perform calculations |

mrbradlymrmartin posted:i use 3.5mm headphone jacks and thats enough space to hear my music yes but that is a 3.5mm pipe that feeds music directly to your brain through the speakers. imagine the entire song trying to fit in the pipe at the same time and you can see why having a song stuck in your head is dangerous. this is why jingles get in your head so easily. they are designed to fit perfectly in the 3.5mm zone of music that surrounds your brain. |
