I have a fitness tracker that goes off during "stressful periods."

This is particularly funny when I'm just at work, working on something at my desk, and it's like "hey man, calm the fuck down!"

Granted. but it's a 15000 RPM Dell server fan.

Iny case, people would assume I upgraded to liquid cooling. I have not. I am just a dum dum.

God: "Too bad, here's CPU throttling and soft reboots. Fuck you."

That's what yawning is for. It cools your brain.

[-] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 months ago

You do actually! It's called yawning

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Do you... do you yawn when you think too hard?

[-] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

One of the reasons we yawn is because our brain is warm, not the thinking too much part lol

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

A quick Google does not name this as one of the several reasons for yawning. Any sources on this?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3534187/#:~:text=By%20lowering%20brain%20temperature%20and,and%20attention%2C%20thereby%20antagonizing%20sleep.

By lowering brain temperature and maintaining thermal homeostasis, the thermoregulatory theory suggests that instead of prompting sleep, yawning actually serves to maintain focus and attention, thereby antagonizing sleep.

So not concrete but it is one of the prevailing theories for one of the reasons we yawn

there are quite a lot of articles about yawning cooling the brain. in this princeton research they observed how much people yawn outdoors in the winter vs summer, and it was more common in winter. personally i don't quite believe this, because aren't we more tired in the winter anyway? https://www.princeton.edu/news/2011/09/19/more-sign-sleepiness-yawning-may-cool-brain

I wish mine would have a power off button that I could hold for 5 seconds for a complete reboot.

... or just off. State after restored power also off.

[-] Davin@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Maybe it does

[-] berryjam@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

That's the furrow between your brows

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I would think that is the time you would want it to go on, not off.

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Unattended Active liquid and thermal gradient cooling bro, it's the latest system

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 3 points 3 months ago

Does that mean it is starting to spin or stopping?

[-] nilzen@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

it's full of liquid cooling. maybe change the water or upgrade the pump?

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

Please no, i would never catch sleep ever again.
