You ever spin in a circle? You do it a few times you don’t really notoce, you do it a lot, younget dizzy.
The earth has been spinning in a lot of cirxles, and we are starting to cross into the “do it a lot” range of spins.

Comment on Correlation implies causation

The chances of this actually being connected is probably near zero, but still felt funny enough to post.
Randomly stumbled upon this while researching why are so many people around lately feeling dizzy.

Actually there is a proven causal connection:
Infrasound.
Data centers make a lot of that, and that does cause/exacerbate dizziness.
Now, what proportion of increasing dizziness is caused by more data centers?
Impossible to tell from this meagre data set, likely an insubstantial amount… my money would be on long covid + its really fucking hot more often.

Please cite some sources that show that infrasound causes/exacerbates dizziness or disorientation (or see my other comments in this thread). There is no conclusive evidence to support negative health effects from infrasound.

I didn’t even know dizziness was on the rise! What did you find?
Contramuffin@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
If I were to guess, probably heat stroke due to rising temperatures. Which, if true, would also be worsened by having more data centers

It looks like the rate of searches starts going up around January 2026 though, middle of winter in the northern hemisphere. Unless Australia was having a heat wave? They’re probably prone to dizziness anyway being upside down all the time

Yeah, and their toilets flush the wrong way too. That’s gotta make a person dizzy, I mean our bodies are 80% water. Although Australians are probably more like 60% water if we’re being honest

I would have guessed latent response to bioaccumulation of lead from leaded gasoline, or increased CO2 in the (local) atmosphere

Stress or anxiety can also cause dizziness.

Nothing solid. Imma about to put on my tinfoil hat and start looking at the Russian satellites. Realistically I’m way over my head here and I hope someone else notices the weird trend. The only reason I started looking around is because I feel slightly dizzy for the past 3 months and decided to ask around. Surprisingly alot of people are experiencing the same thing. I’m from Baltics. All health checkups return perfectly fine.

it’s interesting, in dutch Google trends, “dizziness” has a similar graph but “duizeligheid”, the Dutch translation for it, is a flat line

Interestingly enough, in my language (Latvian), medical term is “Vertigo”. Out of 5 years, the term had most searches (100) on April 2026.

‘Over my head’ haha

That’s odd, I just had a random moment of dizziness today. I assumed it was the heat, but I’ve had heat sickness before and it didn’t feel like that. It felt like the ground shook for a moment, but no one else seemed to notice.
I’m across the ocean by the way.
And I don’t think EMF interference is a crackpot conspiracy theory. Havana syndrome is real, and supposedly the CIA has an undetectable heart attack gun. Sonic weapons exist, so why not RF weapons? Not saying they’re okay, just possible. And anything that’s possible is likely at this point…

Maybe rising CO2 levels? Just guessing.

Post covid effects? I’ve been dizzy often since then
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
severe upper respirtory can affect your vestibular system, causing vertigo. i did get balance problem one time from a pretty bad flu infection, but never covid.
