What's the deal with gasping? Is it an inherent reflex? Is it learned? Did I desensitize myself to the point of not gasping anymore? Do you gasp? Do certain groups of people gasp less commonly? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

What made me start thinking this was watching a lady film a boat going nuts in a marina trying to run over a guy in a seadoo and crashing into parked boats. She seems to be pretty far away from danger but keeps gasping and screaming with every hit.

You're right about the screaming detracting from the real issue though, especially if there is already a group of witnesses and you hear blood curdling screams while someone gets knocked out and then the inevitable person running in to dribble the victim's head to really make sure the spinal cord has separated.

So would it be more beneficial to not gasp? Or gasp less at least?

Do babies gasp? I feel like I've seen them make surprised faces but not gasp, or maybe baby gasps are quieter?

I feel like people trained for emergencies/high stress situations like police, military, mma fighters, even medics are less likely to gasp whereas a defenseless 95 year old woman would be more likely to gasp.

So is gasping a bad defense mechanism or why would we want to have less of a reflexive response in tense situations?

Are you an ex-gasper? When and why did you stop gasping? You know when you say a word so many times in a short window and you forget what it means?

I stocked up on radaway and have been practicing how to drink out of a toilet

I love you buddy

Unless you're some kind of wierdo that doesn't like the word moist or you think LeBron vs MJ is a reasonable comparison to make, knowing the game dynamics are completely different for their respective eras, or whatever.

Drinking water is exponentially easier and less time consuming than exercising

Good thing access to clean drinking water isn't a human right. Oh wait.

It's never made sense to me that some people refuse to drink water even if they know it keeps you functioning properly. The same people will complain of constipation or dry skin but don't want to do the thing that fixes their issues.

Is it wrong or uncommon to judge people primarily on their worst moments/acts? (lemm.ee)
 

I dove into an unfortunate rabbit hole last night about dark redditor confessions. I don't think anyone knows if it's genuine or not but someone claimed to be a child therapist and PDF file.

He even went as far as saying he committed acts with some of his "clients". I personally don't care how many kids he helped out mentally because that kind of abuse, especially in that position is insane. So it got me wondering, do people think the good he's done could ever outweigh the bad?

My grandma passed away and my aunt sent me a selfie of her, my uncle (siblings, not a couple), and my deceased grandma in the hospital bed, is it normal that I'm put off by this? (lemm.ee)

What really made my stomach turn is that my Aunt had a smile on her face. At first I took it as maybe she's trying to stay positive about the situation or having some odd nervous reaction but it was a huge huge smile as if she won the lottery. My grandma was not well off by any means so I highly doubt she had much in her will and my uncle was clearly not smiling in the picture.

She was also extremely unempathetic when my dad passed away during my mid 20s, telling me I need to man up and do better in life. I was working, in a relationship and doing my best to help my mom out. Am I overreacting or does she come off as a full blown sociopath?

Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? (lemm.ee)
 

Wired is more efficient, you can pick it up and use it while charging, and the cable usually comes free with the phone. What is the point of wireless charging pads?

What is it in so many people that makes them want to sabotage people who are doing well? I get it stems from jealousy but is that proof human nature is to be isolated rather than tribal? (lemm.ee)
