I just wanted to say these comments are off the chain. This is how the internet used to be- just people chatting, making jokes and telling stories.
I didn't know hoe much I missed it.
It's like everyday

Welcome to the Internet without corporate rot

They actually switch every hour or so, so after two hours you should be back where you left off.
baked_tea@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I hear you can also “manually” switch them when lying down by switching the side of head you’re lying on

If you hold your breath to the point you can’t anymore your body will automatically clear your nostrils in an attempt to help you not suffocate to death
Aermis@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I don’t think this is how it works…
xePBMg9@lemmynsfw.com 11 months ago
But it is!
pixeltree@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It is! It’s to prevent situations where your mouth is obstructed and your nose is clogged from killing you. Give it a try

This is me when I sleep or lie down but the nostril wall never comes down 😭
obinice@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You gotta swap out your nostrils for yestrils
Geek_King@lemmy.world 11 months ago
A++, would chortle again.

Nostrils, the walls fell.

No joke my doctor told me I should whash my sinis everyday before bed and told me to buy a specific bottle that makes it easier and safer, I did and OMG, life changing!! Just don’t wash your sinus with regular water please!
andrewta@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Never use tap water it has combined chlorine in it (at least where I live it does)
Probably better if you just use Johnny Walker Blue Label

If you ever get to breathe through both at once: it hurts.
b00m@kbin.social 11 months ago
You gotta snort some water up that nose and blow hard. sweet relieve
Sheeple@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Won’t do much for the natural blocking. Notably is that this blocking is NOT caused by clogging. It’s your nose deliberating shutting one hole slightly.
The reason this is because some smells take more exposure to detect while others can be detected immediately. The nose physically constricts airflow to accomplish this uneven speed on both sides.
Fades@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Is this person not referencing nasal irrigation like from a neti pot? Yes, it’s a very poor description if so, but it’s close enough lol
WashedOver@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Mine gets like this depending on the amount of dairy I consume. It’s can be pretty clear most of the timesbut mmmmhmmm ice cream and cheese…
Hegar@kbin.social 11 months ago
I would never claim to know what your body does but FYI there is a popular misconception that diary promotes snot. The idea is based on the magical principle that like attracts like, there's no evidence for it.
WashedOver@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
That’s an interesting read (after Googling) , especially the studies. I would love to be one of those types that says “Fake News” to anything I don’t like, but the initial science seems to be there.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s a normal human phenomenon.
Take it a step further, Advanced yoga practitioners use “alternate nostril breaths” to consciously alter/improve physical & mental state.
JPJones@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Exhale all the way Hold it for 30 seconds Breath through your nose
TWeaK@lemm.ee 11 months ago
My nostril generally gets blocked on the side closest to the person who’s spreading all the germs.
But I find you can sort it out if you tilt your head back slightly and point your nose up, then tilt to the side away from the blocked nostril. Once the blood starts to even out you can level out your head with both nostrils fairly clear.
InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
It’s actually normal.
Your nostrils cycle between like this so that the one can take a break from the air flow and mitigate drying out.
usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Not only does it help from drying out, but it helps with smell too; some things are better detected with a slower airflow
rockerface@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Yep, there’s a reason our noses didn’t simply evolve into a singular hole in the middle of our faces

Also just to add to the torture of these conversations … the inside of your lungs also have a certain ‘scent’ or ‘aroma’ to it. It’s very subtle and wouldn’t be noticeable to anyone else except for yourself because the exhaled air is coming straight out of your lungs and right past your nostrils and all its receptors. Your receptors can sense it but your brain automatically ignores it and you never notice.
The same goes for your vision … you have a natural blind spot in the center of your vision … the edges are not crisp and clean, you can only focus on about 10 percent of what you actually see in front of you, the rest is just blurry … your brain just automatically processes your entire vision and autogenerates a perceived image that makes us believe that we have crystal clear vision through our entire field of view.
Same goes with hearing … just about every person has a tiny bit of tinnitus, ringing of the ears but your brain just automatically processes it all out to make you think that you have crystal clear hearing.
When you think about it … all our senses are pretty imperfect and there is a lot of interference and nonsense data that our brain processes out to make us believe that we have perfect or near perfect vision, hearing and sense of smell.

If it’s normal, why does it bother me so much? The feeling drives me absolutely nuts and I hate it.
InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Hey that’s just part of becoming aware you’re a sentient being stuck in a weird meat vessel that’s just full of undebugged closed source code blobs.
If you’re slightly congested, it sucks more.
If you think about it too much about your breathing, it sucks.
Otherwise it’s fine.
Touching_Grass@lemmy.world 11 months ago
But why not both
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Then they’d both dry out.
