[@PhailRaptor]

That's not how parental bonding works, unfortunately. In the case of a "mailman baby", the cuckolded parent has no knowledge that this has occurred, and would bond with the child as if it were their own. You'd more likely get the scenario you describe with step parents, where the relationship hasn't built yet with the stepchild.

Maybe it depends on the type of redhead. If you're like me, a ginger with blue eyes, then maybe you're a sign of goodluck as that's one of, if not the most rarest combination in the world with about 1% of the total population having this combination.

[@PhailRaptor]

The line-of-sight component makes me think of a condition that basically makes you think your loved ones have been replaced by doppelgangers. It's an occasional complication of traumatic brain injury, and it leads to first an uncanny valley sort of mistrust which later develops into a deep seated hatred for this person you think has been replaced. But the effects are triggered specifically by seeing that person -- if you talk to them over a phone, or using a walkie talkie, then they're still that person to you. It's only when you lay eyes on them that the delusion kicks in and rustles your jimmies. Which makes the static-induced seizure even interesting. Say you could develop some sort of toxin that basically booby-traps the brain into having this complication from the next traumatic brain injury. Now all you'd need is the brain injury. Depending on the seizure, that would be the perfect catalyst to set off this mass delusion that loved ones are not who they appear to be.

[@jedstanaland2897]

I thought about something scary and because it corrupted the parenting instincts it might have the opposite effect on the extremely abusive parents.

[@alexanderthedisturbing3809]

Honestly it'd probably just wouldn't work on them since the bond doesn't really exist. We never see the parents suddenly loving their enemies or whatever just attacking their children.

[@jedstanaland2897]

@alexanderthedisturbing3809 I read a study that basically said that the bond exists in abusive cases but it is malfunctioning in the worst possible way. Similar to abusive relationships the bond is there sometimes it's just malfunctioning.

[@thinecuprunnethoverwithblood]

​@@jedstanaland2897 You're correct! In most cases, there is a malformed bond and the parents genuinely cannot fathom the fact that they are being abusive/neglectful/ect. This is never an excuse, but knowing the possible cause for abusive behavior can help humanity learn how to better prevent and stop it in the future. In personal experience, my parents truly believe they raised me properly and never abused me, they tell others in their life that they "love" me all the time. The problem is that their "love" manifested in horrible abuse, neglect, and an inability to take responsibility for their own actions (among many other things).

[@ShinyNix86]

The brain is so fascinating. I often wondered why I had such severe PPD (for 2 yrs) with my 2nd child. I have chiari malformation but was unaware at that time. My neurosurgeon believes the pregnancies probably made my chiari & inner cranial hypertension more severe which started causing my seizures & could have possibly made the PPD worse & more prolonged. Even more strange is all the ways I can tell I've changed since my brain surgeries. Most are subtle changes to my personality (used to be extremely outgoing, now i have mild agoraphobia & other things like that) but there's bigger ones too; like I used to be an extremely hyper visual thinker, now I find it harder & harder to visualize my thoughts. I'm donating my brain after I die for studies, but I wish there were some I could join while I'm alive that deal with the personality changes that occur after multiple cranial decompressions & cauterizing of the tonsils of the cerebellum. Ugh, maybe I should have gotten a different degree instead of working towards a history degree. 😂

[@thinecuprunnethoverwithblood]

You genuinely sound like such an insightful and fun human being to be around, and I understand that having such intense interoception skills can be extremely tough, so I hope you're not too rough on yourself about those post-surgical changes and adjustments. I hope you've experienced relief from PPD and things have been going swimmingly since your brain surgery! Also you should definitely look into pursuing neurology as a side study, you absolutely have a knack for it.

[@thinecuprunnethoverwithblood]

Interestingly (and also very unfortunately), children who experienced "parentification" related trauma while growing up have been shown to undergo similar neurological changes as those seen in adults who reproduce. It, of course, has significantly more maladaptive results due to these changes occuring in adolescents, often leading to the development of PTSD, personality disorders, and deeply unhealthy coping mechanisms. Some of the biggest psychological symptoms noticed were a general lack of sense of self, or one's identity being mostly (or entirely) comprised of the opinions of others, and the individual having a higher rate of self-neglect in order to appease others. (For anyone unsure, parentification trauma is a colloquial term used in the psychology community to describe different forms of role-reversal that can happen in a home. It specifically refers to anything involving a child being put in a position where they must act as an adult or tackle not-age-appropriate tasks in order to protect themselves and others)

Crazy what you said about forgetting that coffee filter. I once emptied a large Lipton tea bag out . Put coffee in it and steeped that bugger. So I know where ya coming from with that coffee requirement. So to speak. 😅

[@SoalRaptor]

I noticed some language in a few of your more recent videos and this one kinda confirmed my suspicions. Everything’s gonna get better brother. ✊🏽

Sorry to hear you're getting divorced. The odds were against you, and I hope you find someone who understands you better.

Commenting because of the refresher on the PSAT (and why, now long out of Uni and with one higher degree, I’m *still* mad about it). The PSAT used to (it’s cut back a lot now in funding) be the gauge for getting into the National Merit Scholarship program. I had a friend in my undergrad who, between the National Merit Scholarship, and the scholarship our uni offered that lowered out of state tuition to instate and payed some of that as well, she had a full ride. And trust me, I was happy for her. What I was _mad_ about was because I was homeschooled under an umbrella school-and not one of those “unschoolers” I was at my local Junior/Four year college at 16 and only didn’t start at 15 because I was out of the country for the first week and a half of school-the high school teachers really hated anyone who might remotely seem to be home schooling (even if they did it all online via Florida Virtual, so they were doing distance learning before 2020, back in 2007). So when I got the PSAT they told me I wasn’t allowed (bs) to submit to the National Merit Scholarship because I wasn’t attending a “real school.” Even though the school that tracked my records, and recorded my college/uni credits _was a school_ with a physical location and classes and everything, they just had an arm that was an umbrella school. (One of my fellow seniors was in the umbrella program because his parent(s) were in the army and would be shuffled around a lot across Europe so he stuck with the umbrella program (which had their own curriculum if you wanted to use it) to get a consistent education. But the point is: the PSAT used to give you a _lot_ of money compared to other scholarship test programs. And I got told I basically was lucky that the board of education, _and_ the teachers proctoring the exam, even allowed me to take it. It was so petty. Now the scholarship has been kneecapped, and you’re better off getting good grades, making sure your HS counts any college/uni courses as grade letter above HS grading, (so a B in a uni/college class is an A in the high school equivalent, which is how you get people with over 4.0 averages) and finding a school that had the thing you think you want, that offers good deals to newly graduated students (under sixty credit hours of Uni/college courses-they will count you as a transfer if you go over 60 and then you lose all Freshman scholarships) and go there. Now the PSAT is pretty worthless. Also I don’t live there so I don’t mind dropping the info: anyone from FL with the right GPA, I believe gets 10k a year bonus on top of whatever other scholarships one qualifies for at UNF. I knew a lot of people who basically had 5k each semester of discretionary money. And I wish I’d done it, instead of buying the lie I was sold by my liberal art’s college that I lasted one year at before I couldn’t stand the kids shooting up and snorting things up their nose-but what do you expect from a bunch of Yanks who come down in their corvettes and other expensive cars to give an 18 year old, with a stipend from their doctor/lawyer parents who’d had them in private boarding schools where they basically were the low end of the totem pole because their parents didn’t have _enough_ money or clout to get them into the full Ivy Leagues. And usually the students didn’t have the GPA (I was one of two students there who qualified for their highest scholarship and that barely dented it) to get into Vanderbilt, or Duke. So they got dropped off at Eckerd. /End rant.

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

I was told that every test like that would set the pace for the rest of my life. Every. Single. Test. It was always a lie.

Same here! Jokes on them, now I need a wheelchair and would rather eat a live wombat than go back to college in my mid twenties and take any more tests.

one time I had a horrible sense of vertigo(changed medicine which is what I think triggered it), so I was watching a video well as moving my head around(to get used too the vertigo, not completely sure why I added the other sensory inputs) and then started laughing at the video and had an epilepsy(I think the jerking movements from the laughter combined with the vertigo started it) moments after it ended I immediately forgot about it and the only reason I remembered was because my face was tingling which made me think "what just happened to make my face tingle" and then I remembered, if my face wasn't tingling or I just ignored it I would have never remembered it

[@chadg739]

This was a good movie for what it was. It was a good mix of craziness and addressing some deep down feelings a lot can relate to. I'm 40 in a relationship with my 13 yo mini adults mother. The spark is absent and there both getting more difficult by the day.. well me and the boy are getting closer too so it's complicated. But yeah good movie.

Prolactin also reduces dopamine, and dopamine reduces prolactin. The treatment for hyperprolactinemia is extremely powerful dopamine agonists. And high levels of prolactin can cause depression.

The tickle fingers thing at 6:15 reminds me of what my dad used to do when I was little. He'd just stare me down, grin on his face, and get closer doing the tickle motion and I would just start dying. Like almost pass out laughing. Then he would just stand there just shaking his head till I noticed he stopped.

[@jokersgirll]

I believe this film was based of a scfi/horror short story and it was a biological weapon, it affected the brain to such a degree that parents started roaming in packs and seemed to have some sort of ESP connection and they would track their kids for miles until one or the other was killed EDIT: The book was called Blood Crazy, i can't find references of bio weapons in the plot description though

[@nivannakingsman1383]

Fun fact, my name was changed to Nic when my mom saw Nicolas Cage on the back of a VHS and decided that was a better name for her unborn sun rather than Alex.

[@grimreaper2301]

Awesome video dude! I hope the next one is for the tardigrade monster from harbinger down!

[@Hukkavei]

These are the kind of movies i wish they'd spend more time actually explaining whats happening, as watching it with someone who doesn't make the connection with the subtle hints is left asking "So was that it?" " What made them act like that? That was pretty stupid."

[@CaptainSlayahoe]

Bro this movie had me ctfu at the part when Nicolas started snapping like “your MF mother said get tf down here” that’s when we knew he was infected I kept rewinding it dying laughing at the one part 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Can maternal instinct come into play if you become an Aunt or I mean raise a child you didn’t give birth to? Cuz I helped raise my niece. I watched her be born and when I held her this insane powerful emotion came over me or protectiveness.

[@RoanokeGaming]

It can, if you are 100% related to your siblings, by all accounts your have reproduced and may feel similar feelings, but not the total same as a mother and father

[@shockmethodx]

The meta story going on in the back of your videos is so wild. I am sorry about your relationship, but your sense of human and intellect are evidently intact. Man, I've been here so long that there's LORE now. Just don't do an Armored Skeptic and lose your mind thinking you're The Green Man/Jesus or somethin'. Also, congrats on the new bench. Hell yeah, brother!

[@rafaelalodio5116]

I don’t know if it is hormonally impossible for grandparents to love grandchildren as much as their own. You see, I imagine this is not very common in US but in Brazil there are many many people who have been raised by their grandparents as a result of teenage pregnancies. I have a cousin, that although not a teen he is still very young, he had a son and now the baby is, by all effects being raised by his parents, he is present, he lives with him, but chances are that he may end up being more like the big brother to that child rather than the actual father figure. Still in the same family, my mom, and her brother that is now a grandpa, we’re both raised by my late great grandmother, my mom called her mom, even though she was the grandmother, and until this day she calls my actual grandmother by her first name, rather than mom. So yeah, family relations are not always that straightforward, regardless of hormones.

[@k.v.7681]

It is uncommon, but as always depends on the individual. As shown by the fact that fathers are a thing, that bond is acquired, not innate from the happening of birth. Humans are hard-wired to rear young, even if they can't always make them themselves. It's part of the "social" aspect in social species, at least in humans. It's one of the reasons why you will see people run into a burning building to rescue children, even if not their own, but would stand outside if they knew it was adults. Instinct. As you said, loads of grandparent raise their grandchildren. But that's the thing: they raised them. Essentialy making them parents at that point. Same goes for step-parents, adoptive parents, etc.

While having a voiding "absence" seizure, there are some effects that can happen, and this is not a self diagnoses but watching from my wife and talking to a neurologist. You can have trouble recalling things on par with dementia. Also depending on how you got the seizure, it can cause brain damage.

Hey Roanoke! I know I’ve already asked but I figured I would do so again seeing as it’s par for the course to continually ask content creators to make content. Check out Godzilla vs Biollante. It’s full of microbiology and the moral dilemma scientists are faced when seeking to further their goals at the possible cost of causing harm. It’s one of the best Godzilla movies and an awesome sci-fi film in general. Thanks man.
