• Why do so many people believe that Tycho Brahe died from a burst bladder, when it's impossible to voluntarily hold it in until your bladder ruptures?

  TIL. I’ve heard a similar thing about certain smells being closely tied with the memory centre in the brain.

  No, sneezing, as in the photic sneeze reflex. If I look at the sun by accident I’ll sneeze.

  No, you do you

  Yes. It’s worked very well in the recent Zelda games

  Would inclusivity to people with disabilities/medical safety be included in those regulations?

  Yeah I really can’t see how they could bring him back in a way that seems plausible. Really enjoyed Carrey’s performance though

  I’m skinny and I’ll pass out in less than an hour. Have severe POTS from EDS, heart went into asystole after 35 minutes into a tilt table test and they had to put me back down. I’ve passed out several times in other settings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It can even be dangerous for some people to be in a standing position for too long. I have a severe case of POTS caused by a genetic disorder. My heart stopped during a tilt table test, which is where I was forced to remain in a standing position. If I’m expected to pay more for a normal seat just because I’m disabled, that’s ableism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why should I have to be forced to pay more for sitting seats just because I have a disability? We shouldn’t be normalising this.

  What about people like myself who have POTS and can’t be in a standing position for too long? My heart can legit stop causing me to pass out if I’m standing for too long.
