People who are blind from birth never develop schizophrenia

My understanding was hallucinations didn’t specifically have to be visual, aural hallucinations were are sufficient to check the hallucinations box, is this incorrect?

What is something that most people normally do that you find weird?

I think it’s weird how obsessed people in general are with germs and dirt. Dirt can’t hurt you and most germs are harmless.

People seem to believe they and the world is inherently dirty and everyone and everything needs to be washed all the time and I just don’t think that’s true.

Unless something is a harmful pathogen or visibly/obviously dirty it’s really not worth worrying about

Idk about all pets but dogs absolutely understand it’s a form of affection, they kiss each other too, they’ve been with humans tens of thousands of years… they get it

It’s possible you could introduce infection or pests sure but the only part of a tree that “really matters” is the membrane between the bark and the wood inside. As long as the bark is intact all the way around the tree it should be ok. The spike itself would likely not be the issue if the tree died but some contamination introduced by it. Trees grow around things, including metal things all the time

If a person were paranoid about a potential food shortage in the next two to three years, what should they stock up on now?

A lot of people commenting here don’t seem to actually be from the prepper community and are giving very naive advice that requires you to have a lot of space, resources, knowledge and luck. Growing a garden is unequivocally not a good idea as your primary food source for a myriad of reasons, if you have the space, time, physical capacity, knowledge, context to grow a garden definitely do so, things like fruit trees, berry bushes and potatoes can be good options but don’t provide steady streams of food and lack protein. Generally long term shelf stable foods and “high value” items for bartering are what is suggested when prepping is being discussed. Don’t forget ways to provide yourself with clean fresh water too, that’s critical if infrastructure breaks down.

There’s a lot of resources out there on survival food prep, what is good, bad, safe, best practices etc. gardening is never suggested as a first line of defense. I’d suggest you dig into your local areas prepping community because the particular difficulties you may face, what’s available, what conditions you need to work around etc. will all be unique, plus learning to avoid problems with prepping preemptively will be the things that actually help. Having enough to share and trade with other people is also highly important.

Growing enough potatoes to sustain yourself much less multiple people, a plant that needs 90-120 days between planting and harvest, isn’t a reliable plan. It’s definitely one of the best options for supplementing fresh foods but it absolutely should not be the foundation of a persons survival prep.

Producing food, year round, to feed yourself/family is actually insanely difficult. Small scale farming that provides year round is no small task and generally not considered “good” advice for prepping. Do that if you want to supplement sure but you’re going to die if your only source of food is the garden in your yard. Farming is a very labor intensive and resource consuming, highly contextual skill that requires highly specific knowledge with a huge variety of variables that can also just flat out fail through no fault of your own, it’s not a safe plan for survival.

Long term shelf stable foods like rice, beans, grains, pastas, canned goods, canned protein, dried goods, dried spices/seasoning and salt all need to be stocked before you consider growing fresh food as part of the equation. Also canning/preserving food will be a huge task if you plan to rely on your own grown food, which is in and of itself a time consuming skill that requires the correct tools and knowledge to do well and safely.

If the time comes that your only food option is home grown food you’re as good as starved in basically the entirety of the US and I’m sure most other developed nations. If you happen to live in an agricultural valley that has actual real, dedicated farms with farmers who actually know how to produce food at scale you will survive longer but it will still be very difficult and social connections would likely serve you better than wasting all your time and energy working a yard garden that produces a measly haul, go spend that time doing what the farmer needs so you can barter.

Those that sleep in bed with a significant other, how do you deal with snoring?

Slightly pulling the pillow can work if the person isn’t a horrible chronic snorer. Making a person move their head while sleeping will often make them adjust their whole body readjusting their airway and that can both help them sleep better and snore less but it only works on light to moderate snoring, people who are super loud when they sleep probably have something going on that isn’t just position of sleep.

PBS. Even YT revenue is revenue.

It’s so good, even if you know very little about the field watching it over time you get context and learn who did and said what and they do such a good job at explaining. It feels educational and entertaining

The examples listed are wayyy more obscure than schizophrenia also this hot take

Some researchers have suggested that both premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and the more severe premenstrual dysphoric disorder(PMDD), which have currently unknown physical mechanisms,[27][28] are Western culture-bound syndromes.[29][30] However, this is controversial.[29][31]
