The Egyptians build pyramids

Did it put 63% of their nation into drought?¹

The Babylonians build a tower.

Did it put 63% of their nation into drought?

The people of Peru drew the Nazca lines. (very drought related)

Was it drought related in the sense that it put 63% of their country into drought? Only asking because i don’t know, so please elaborate on its relevance :)

The people of the Chaco Canyon built huge structures and a large civilization. Then had to abandon it all during a epic drought.

And that is what’s going to happen to the USA.

¹ If i use more-precise but less-snappy wording, consider this phrase “Did it put 63% of the territories in its nation into drought conditions.” We can’t know if exactly 63% of Egypt was suffering drought at once, it requires modern, fast and responsive datakeeping.

There was a time in the not distant past when “revolt or reform” was even a debate, but it is clear now what needs to be done.

The sub name isn’t “no stupid questions allowed!” it’s “no questions are considered stupid here.”

Good question
EDIT: Because nobody else has explained it adequately: OP, ADHD is not defined by habits of daydreaming. i.e not all ADHD people have maladaptive daydreams . I personally do, so i answered it as if it was specifically for ADHD people who experience Maladaptive daydreams. Those of us who do will have them in varying frequency or varying control over them. I would say I don’t get them a lot but I have triggers for them. For it to happen in a movie someone would have to say something reminding me of trauma anxiety or embarrassment, and I’ll be taken back.

So TL;DR

• daydreaming is not a problem for most adhd people in this way.
• movies provide good level of stimulation. If they don’t, the adhd person is not staying to watch it anyway.
• if someone is daydreaming throughout movies constantly, it’s not the “during movies” part that is the problem, it’s happening all the time.

My answer:

• First let’s clarify how I’m actually watching films:

I am very discerning as to whether I’ll enjoy a film or not. Currently I will only go to the cinema or sit down to watch something in one sitting if I know I’ll like it.

Nowadays I have the privilege of getting to put something on from Netflix, then browse my phone - if it’s good, I’ll put my phone down. If it’s bad, I stop the film. No chance for daydreams there.

• The “talking over the top of it” strategy.

My sister, I think, introduced me to the idea that you can make jokes about a film while watching, and make people laugh. I loved doing that as a kid. A bit too much. I massively disrupted my middle school film club by talking through most films. Feels bad. But with the right company it’s hilarious, it’s good for rowdy film watching sessions with your friends. Nowadays I know how to limit myself and do it to a more charming, non-interruptive, frequency.

• snacks maybe?

I don’t need snacks for films but I think some people choose snacks on the basis of needing them to actually enjoy and focus on the film/ get into the mood of it.

• Personally: I just like films

I don’t daydream often when in a task, and movies actually feel like a task. Since watching a movie has dialogue, it feels like being talked to, and that helps not daydream

Movies probably are the daydream to our brain in that moment. They probably help to encourage daydreaming, and by extension, control over daydreaming, among all types of people.

There must be some movies that would see people daydream in, though. Too boring. But as I said earlier I’m super picky about what I’ll watch. I stopped watching The Prestige earlier just because the sound mixing was bloody awful.

Your cat is beautiful, perfect coat for being a barncat too. Reminds me of my 2nd childhood cat, also tabby-tortoiseshell and incredibly small. Ever since knowing her I’ll always see tabby cats as the most rustic, adventurous and sporting kind of cats; if they turned into humans they’d gear up in camouflage and take to the woods with hunting rifles every morning.

Possibly, but;

• rural towns can have 1 or 2 busy roads, too
• Farmers use machinery like tractors, or have to hear them a lot, and aren’t necessarily using the safest precautions with them.

A friend of mine had tinnitus as early as <18 just from growing up in such an environment. I don’t think his family even engaged in agriculture.

Cities should see a somewhat higher rate though because even with this acciunted for it sounds like the problem is persistence of noises. And cities have metro systems and noise pollution from construction works

What causes the sound though? Vibrations. Living next to a busy road means exposure to constant tremors, even if low level, which would certainly explains the balance aspect in my opinion.

If this is the actually connection and they know it, then yeah i suppose the headline is being clickbaity and facetious.

However, parkinsons is a brain disease, not just a disease of the nerves - with correlations demonstrated for other environmental traumas (article lists pollution for instance), it seems likely that parkinsons is just the result of a brain traumatised from the combined actions of modern life traumas, which maybe deny it a chance to grow or heal the way it is supposed to.

I guess all i can say is that the reasoning makes sense to me. Human biology is weird, biology in general is weird, and all our civil engineering systems need to be revised anyway for multitudes of reasons, so i am not object to the idea on any basis.

Probably because of

• higher urbanisation rather than suburbanisation in UK compared to USA (i’m assuming you’re USA).
• Maybe more libraries exist already here and are easier to reach because of above point.
• And i presume the nature + location of the “more middle class” streets puts them less at risk of vandalism
• Middle class people have the most time to spare to make one
• Possibly planning application is required

Even in rural places, it’s usually a fancier house that puts one up on their plot. I’d say that could be because it’s more visible and they’re the people with permission from planning authorities for it.

At the big library you pay with your soul and your social anxiety.

I like to joke that they indicate you’re entering a really posh neighbourhood. But they’re by no means a bad thing. Maybe i should make the jump and be the first household on my street to install one

I thought it was not addictive to us only becasuse we take it in microdoses

E.g i’m supposed to do 2 lots of 5 micrograms of methylphenidate hydrochloride (aka ritalin but not by ritalin) a day, i haven’t been very consistent and onky do 1 a day when i do take it

Let me play devil’s advocate and say that redditors/reddit mods just have rules they follow weirdly strongly like “don’t make posts in all capital letters”

I guess it would say that in a top comment if that was their motive for removing it.

The beautiful aspect of it is thst it’s nice someone tried to make something so helpful in that regard, but the comments suggest it’s not executed correctly to inform people in detail nor to be quick and snappy.

They are in different cultures. I learned in high school spanish that egg is a dairy. Either to do with “dairy = animal byproduct” or “they feel similar to eat.” (They do)

Well, Consider my corn cobbed…

Me, naked. It won’t actually look like what i look like naked. It doesn’t know how many nipples i have, et cetera

I like the divine absurdity of this image

That is a perfect explanation

Eating chips from a bag hidden in a mask strapped right to my face? It sounds like a dream.

Not heard of this concept before. Is it talking about romantic partner or just friends?
