A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Make our brains FOSS! Why can't I just tell my brain that now is sleeping time and it will just sleep?!

I own my brain because I'm human. Other animal brains, (whale, deer, cow, grasshopper, bird) are not owned by themselves, perhaps animals are simply incapable of comprehending our level of organization. That's why we can make their decisions for them.

/s

Sorry it's just absolutely bizarre to me to think of a part of your body having different ownership than the other parts. Too atomistic. Are we renting out the space in our heads? If so, shouldn't that be mitigated to prevent unnecessary damage?

I feel like Chicken Tonight like Chicken Tonight!

Which half are you? Each half of your brain is a separate entity.

Since you're producing words you're probably the left half of your brain.

OP unknowingly explaining simulation theory concepts.

you can pay an expert for some upgrades, but they generally don't do them unless something broke.

You absolutely can. What really helps is to stop using any kind of digital devices about 2h before you intend to sleep, then workout for a bit, and chase that down with some meditation. Focused breathing exercises are enough, no need to go full guru.

Afterwards take a shower, go go bed, and read a book. You'll have to force yourself to make it through the current chapter, guaranteed.
