    Thanks for sharing. How does the fish one work? The dolphin I get because it breathes oxygen, but don’t all fish have gills? I feel like it should be in the water.

      It can be out for a matter of minutes.

      Humans are just ludicrously overdependent on aerobic respiration, our brain metabolism is overcharged to the point of being broken.

      Most other animals have a lot more room to function sans oxygen, they’re more limited by stored energy reserves.

        I’m in a yoga teacher training at the moment, and a biologist by training. It’s been amazing seeing how the different yogic breathing techniques impact mental and physical states.

        Those crazy folks in the Indus valley civilization made a serious study of this, at least 4,000 years ago according to current evidence. Some techniques, like yiga nidra (alternate nostril breathing for several minutes) have significant impacts on nervous system function.

        You can measure this directly with a cheap heart rate monitor and an app that can interpret and returns stats on heart rate variability.

        Those old yogis made a study out of exploiting our brain’s dependence on oxygen and developed some pretty cool biohacks.

        Why do you use sans instead of just saying without?

      You’re supposed to hold your breath for a CT, so the fish is just fine for a bit.

      Maybe the fish are dead, or not out of the water for too long.

    Somehow I don’t think the fish consented to this…

    Some of those seem to have consented after being forced to.

      I’m pretty convinced the cat is just being a cat though.

  I hate to read any post on the internet that involves both the words “animal” and “consent.”

  Human beings are inexplicable, contradictory species that don’t know how to view the world through anything other than our momentary feelings about things, and the universe suffers for it.
