Perchance is free

It works. Well, it works about as well as your average LLM

The study also showed that certain species are more susceptible to different kinds of light. Some of them are more likely to orbit under the light, some of them are more likely to orbit above, etc

To be fair, they are stuck for as long as they want to go straight. At any point they can decide to turn in some other direction that might take them away from the light, at which point they escape the light trap. However, they are burning calories while circling the light that they could be using for pollination

Tbh if my kid came up with something like that, I would not stop bragging about it to teachers and other people with a psych background

That is a very good point. My concern is that some of these bugs are pollinators, and spending god only knows how long circling that light is wasting time and energy they could be using to pollinate

I am assuming that somebody in their community saw the bugs going in fairly consistent circles, thought about what they were doing, and used common sense to decide that the bugs were trying to keep the light in one side of their body for some reason.

It does solve the problem of “why don’t insects all try to fly into the sun?” which the warmth-seeking hypothesis didn’t explain

The previous (barely tested) model was that they were actively trying to fly to the light. Previous research tested what qualities of the light caused the behavior, but there was very little research into what exactly was going on in their tiny bug brains that made them do that.

That just sounds like making a metaphorical hell literal

Honestly, it would be really funny to have a biopic about Neil Cicierga with Neil playing himself in a fictionalized autobiography where he gets to make up a bunch of surreal bullshit about his life. Like a feature-length edition of Guaranteed* Videos

Nope, I am lactose intolerant but I can eat cheese, the concrete mixers from Culver’s, and Oberweis ice cream for some reason

That being said, yesterday I had some (because a family member bought some for me) and just out of pure suspicion I took some lactaid pills before drinking it. I had no problems.

I think the Lactaid-brand eggnog is not in fact lactose free, despite what it says on the carton

For me, Dwarf Fortress. I have never gotten far in that game. It’s fascinated me since I was 13, and I still suck at it.

Omg, explosive diarrhea causes Christmas lol

THAT WAS ONE GLASS

I mean, it was a large glass, but the whole carton is only one pint. I don’t usually drink all of it in one sitting.

My current theory is that I’m getting to taco bell effect from the eggnog. Didn’t realize until looking at the label about an hour ago, but it’s got an insane concentration of added sugars, cholesterol, and saturated fats. I drank half the carton today (well, yeaterday) qnd if my mental math is right I’ve gotten 80% of my daily cholesterol, 100% of my daily saturated fats, and 120% of my daily added sugars. If my fiancée found out, she would be so upset because she made me promise that I wouldn’t die first

I am lactose intolerant and also lazy

How do you think I know its the eggnog

I get it whenever it is in stock, and whenever I drink it I get explosive diarrhea

I know its not the Milk causing it because it’s, well, lactaid

Wait a second, what if they are lying to me

Edit: I am fairly certain it is in fact lactose free. My current theory is that it has something to do with the large amount of sugar. I think I might be getting almost 60% of my daily value of added sugars and 50% of my daily value of fats in one of the big glasses I drink it out of. If my fiancée finds out I am doing this to my poor arteries, she will be very upset because she made me promise to not die first

Edit 2: I have dramatically underestimated how many servings I have drank today. New ballpark is

• 80% daily cholesterol
• 100% daily saturated fats
• 120% added sugars

IN ONE GLASS

What the fuck have I done

I just want to know the reason why I am suffering

I will not stop drinki g the eggnog thoug
