Why you can't TURN OFF your brain

You ever wonder why you overthink when you’re trying to sleep? In short, the phenomenon is linked to reduced external stimulation, which activates the brain's Default Mode Network (DMN). This network triggers introspection, daydreaming, and wandering thoughts, especially noticeable in generations experiencing heightened stress levels, further complicating sleeplessness. In today’s video we dive into a flurry of late-night thoughts, from seeking the world’s oldest cat to finding the secret to everlasting youth, answering questions like how do you piece together something you’ve never seen before, and is Walt Disney actually sleeping in a fridge as we speak?

your channel is dying

[@gulez5839]

Hey bud, I noticed you're falling out of relevancy. Maybe try making more videos about mainstream media figures and drama? Or if you've been wanting to move away from that, I get that. The problem is that you've built up your audience on those types of vids. Also I'd recommend giving Wilbur a bigger role in your vids, like back in the day. I loved the background story he had, and I'm sure others did too! It sure kept me coming back to your videos! Anyway I hope you enjoy your work just as much nowadays, that's most important :)

Just recently read an article about the first few decades of cyrogenics, and it seems a fate worse than death. Most of the capsules were not kept properly, thawed out and people in them just dissolved into a goop over the years. Some other's relatives did not want to pay the full price of upkeep after some years and the chose to keep only the heads. for some other that were properly preserved after examination it turned out the freezing process completely destroyed all tissues beyond any hope to repair, limbs fell off, bodies cracked open or in half. Some companies offering freezing people saved costs by squeezing as many bodies into a single pod as possible, succeeding in preserving none, and other scammers and charlatans have popped up trying to squeeze out money from grieving relatives essentially inventing a subscription model for death.

[@chlochlo_the_T_BAG]

the bodies dont actually become conscious if they wake up, and also all bodies that are cryogenically frozen have their tissue damaged irreparably, not just some.

This video is genius, I was confused at first why it was random subjects. But the video subjects are legit stemming from eachother just like how we do when we are up at night thinking. Amazing.

[@YousefGamer2015]

In current day Egypt we still have people similar to the Knocker-up’s you talked about. They wake people up during the month of Ramadan, so they could eat before the fasting of the day starts. They don’t knock on windows however, they wake people up by hitting something similar to a drum (idk what it’s called in English) and by announcing in a loud voice that it’s Suhoor time (the time to prepare for fast). These people are called مسحراتي in Arabic.

Interesting historical fact, there was another sort of alarm that folks had made way back called the candle clock! They knew the amount of time it would take a candle to melt to certain points, and wedged nails into the wax at those points they wanted to be awoken. Once the candle melted down to that point the nail would fall into the metal holder below. Sometimes (probably often times for deeper sleepers) they would add multiple nails in short intervals for additional alarms!

[@bendysans1473]

[@Linkghirahim]

Most thinking is actually caused by repressed emotions. Think of all the thoughts that come up about something you regret or someone you lost. When we let go of feelings and attachments, we find that , not only we naturally we have less thoughts, but also the quality of the thoughts changes, from more negative to more positive. Apparently it would be possible the let go of all feelings and to end up with almost no thoughts whatsoever (i don't know if that's possible though)

I have 2 cats: One I had since he was a kitten and so I'm pretty sure that he's about 5 and 1/2 years old. The other I got recently. She is an old lady. Vets have put her age at around 7+ years to even about 10 years old. She deserves an pain free retirement at her golden age.
