Well, how do you cope with moth memes?

That’s just Semantics or something…

I hope Yoshi is only going to make that orchestra hit from the old games!

Thanks for the heads up, that was a fun read!

Have you felt this way before? Are you stressed or tired? The short of it is you probably want to mention it to your doctor. You might be starting to show signs of a couple issues, including schizophrenia.

Here’s the google ai answer about possible causes, so take this with a grain of salt: “Feeling a presence in the room” is commonly referred to as a “felt presence” in psychology, which means experiencing the sensation that someone else is in the room with you, even though there is no physical evidence of another person being present; it’s essentially a psychological phenomenon where you feel like someone is there without seeing or hearing them.

Key points about felt presence:

• Not a hallucination:

  While it might feel like a hallucination, a felt presence isn’t considered one because it’s not experienced through the five senses, but rather as a general feeling.

• Possible causes:

  • Stress or anxiety: Extreme stress or anxiety can trigger the feeling of a presence.
  • Grief or bereavement: People often report feeling a presence of a deceased loved one.
  • Sleep deprivation: When falling asleep or waking up, the brain can sometimes create this sensation.
  • Neurological conditions: Certain neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease or epilepsy can also lead to felt presence experiences.
  • Mental health conditions: Individuals with psychosis or schizophrenia may experience frequent felt presences.

What to do if you experience a felt presence:

• Assess your mental state:

  Consider if you are under significant stress, experiencing grief, or having sleep disturbances which could be contributing to the feeling.

• Relaxation techniques:

  Try relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation to manage anxiety.

• Seek professional help:

  If the feeling is persistent, distressing, or accompanied by other symptoms, consult a mental health professional to explore potential underlying causes.

Thank you for posting this! I immediately thought of this public announcement of sorts when I read the question.

That’s disappointing

0 for 5… who needs happiness anyway, when my bitterness keeps me warm at night?

Noting a correction is part of a larger scope of annotating something. From Wikipedia:

There is also a two-thousand-year-old character used by Aristarchus of Samothrace called the asteriskos, ※, which he used when proofreading Homeric poetry to mark lines that were duplicated. Origen is known to have also used the asteriskos to mark missing Hebrew lines from his Hexapla. The asterisk evolved in shape over time, but its meaning as a symbol used to correct defects remained.

In the Middle Ages, the asterisk was used to emphasize a particular part of text, often linking those parts of the text to a marginal comment. However, an asterisk was not always used.

Aristarchus of Samothrace was from c. 220 – c. 143 BC, so it’s been used for notation since at least then!

Would its impact create a solar flare? And if that flare was hurtling towards Earth, would it be more devastating than other solar storms we normally see?
