FYI: you can’t kill a baby through keeping them awake. An adult you can kill this way.
Yeah I don’t believe you can kill an adult this way unless they aren’t used to a lack of sleep. I seem to function ok for a random distribution of 2-4 hours of sleep a night
No sleep vs any amount of sleep is a hell of a difference
Doctor told me. So yeah. Zero hours of sleep will kill an adult.
This is like a chain smoker looking you dead in the eye and saying “You can’t die from smoking. Look at me, I smoke 10 packs a day and it ain’t killed me yet!”
To be fair, smoking doesn’t kill you. It’s the cancer that does
“It wasn’t the smoking that killed me, just the consequences of the smoking.”
you are likely completely correct
Not with that attitude.
…and you know this because…?
Neuroplasticity. The infant will attempt to adapt to the surroundings, the adult is “stuck in their ways”.
Isn’t the definition of neuroplasticity that the brain will change?
Edit: I guess more “the brain can change.” Still, adult’s have Neuroplasticity. That is very well documented.
Well I didn’t want children but now I got some experimenting to do.
Meet me out back in 15 minutes, I have stolen a child for you
…I have stolen a child for you
Aw, shucks. I thought you were about to suggest a dumpster-side quickie to make one.
I would’ve made that joke if I knew their gender, because no amount of fucking between two guys would make a child
I doesn’t matter, we will keep trying until we conceive, Mighty!
What if you keep a baby awake until it becomes an adult?
The parents were anti-vax so…
Doctor told me.
Yeah, but like, holy crap, there’s a way to make phantoms not spawn?! TIL
Phantoms only spawn when there are no blocks above your head.
Phantoms spawn after 1 hour of not dying or sleeping if there is no nontransparent block above you, so you just have to die or sleep every hour or make a roof above the entire world

You want the real sleepless experience, forget about Minecraft, go for broke and stay up all night in Don’t Starve
Sleep deprivation can cause hallucinations.
Or is it actually hallucinations…
My record is 9 days without sleep.
At that point I had seen a doc who just loaded me down with large doses of like 3 different benzos.
Slept for 2 days straight.
The creepist hallucinations were dark figures in the corner of dark rooms chanting in some language that didnt sound human in origin, just reproduced by humans.
The oddest was a stop sign that turned into buddy Christ from Dogma (I think) and then back into a stop sign.
I wasn’t religious at all at that point in time, though I went through elementary in a private christian school before transferring to public schools, and the area is certainly part of the bible belt.
Of course this leads me to ponder how much of our beliefs and such is shaped by the cultural norms of the area we’re in, even if your own family doesn’t participate.
Then again, what is “normal” is viewed through the lense of the community being studied.
So realizing this, I have to wonder how much of my beliefs and morals stems from the area that I was raised in versus what I have actually experienced and value.
Just how much of “me” has been brainwashed into me, subtly over time and reinforced by various methods of society. Then that moves the thought to how much of me is just directly rebelling against that force, but wouldn’t be present without that external force. Which all boils down to essential philosophical questions that man has been asking for centuries with no real answer.
Maybe this is why I have trouble sleeping.
My record is 9 days without sleep.
That’s… not great. Impressive, but not great. I hope you’re in a better place now.
At that point I had seen a doc who just loaded me down with large doses of like 3 different benzos.
Doctor: Um, yeah. I don’t normally do this, but I’m going to give you serious drugs up front and then figure out what’s going on later. Take this after you get home. Also, clear your calendar for the next few days.
Then again, what is “normal” is viewed through the lense of the community being studied.
What you’re pondering is the classic “nature vs nurture” argument, and moral relativism overall. I can’t say how active this philosophical area is these days, but you’re correct in that it’s a part of “essential philosophical questions that man has been asking for centuries with no real answer.” I say, drink deep from this well and master the domain. Maybe then sleep will come easier.
I watched this great documentary that proved that sleep deprivation actually just turns you into Brad Pitt out to destroy capitalism.
And I’m VERY sleep deprived.
going 3 days without shitting lmao
I can attest to the fact that if you stay awake for 3 days IRL, phantoms do indeed come to torment you until you sleep.
