Why do I boil myself like a lobster in the shower, but I hate the heat and overheat easily out of the shower

ah I have done Much Autistic Thinking about this and have come to the conclusion that it is because when you are boiling yourself like a lobster in the shower, you are in control of how boiled you get. but when it is a HOT DAY and you are In Your Clothes and Such, you are Not in control of how lobster-fied you become.

the feeling of lack of control during your warming-uppiness makes it negative. the fact that you are wearing Clobes that you want to stay Not Damp from your boiled state makes you go "No!!!!!!! I do Not wish to be Boiled right now!!!!" and u get Not Joyous.

however when you are blissfully aware of the fact that you are In the Waters and you can Control the Heats of the Waters to make you just the right amount of As Hot As The Sun, it is perfectly fine and pleasant.

it may also have something to do with your circulation idk

Despite approximately 200,000 years of evolution, humans are still completely vulnerable while they sleep and lack any sort of defensive mechanism.

The defense mechanism is community you self centered prick

First line of defense. Its a fucking wall. While these particular designs are new, controlling access to the space by reducing the number of ingress points has served human (hominids, really) well for a couple million years or so, ever since we found caves and said “Hey, this is pretty neat.”

Second line of defense. She’s an older model, but we’ve been using the same technology for at least 30,000 years, and it’s still reliable. With better senses of hearing and smell, they are able to track and identify interlopers before humans can. They are also snuggly.

After that, we have our third line of defense, which is other people.

Sign language being different in every country instead of being universal is a nonsense and an opportunity wasted

“Spoken language being different in every country instead of being universal is a nonsense and an opportunity wasted”

fuck off. you ever thought in your shower that perhaps sign language is more like spoken language than you realise? that it wasn’t just. invented? one day? that it formed in multiple different places and branched off the same way as spoken languages did?

you ever thought about why french and italian are different? or japanese and swedish?

you ever thought that maybe languages are interesting by themselves and having less diversity in them would be a loss of human culture, art, and thousands of years of history? we can track the movements of ancient cultures by looking at the words they loaned from various languages (and the words those languages borrowed back) and what sound shifts have applied to them. that’s a thing we can do! but, y'know, it absolutely is a “wasted opportunity” that all the languages aren’t somehow magically identical, innit.
