Once I almost flew around half the planet, but stopped half way and hitchhiked back.
… Don’t ask.
Superman, is that you?
Spoon wet dog food into my coffee cup instead of my dog’s bowl.
I’ve scooped newly opened can of cat food right into the bin haha, but in my coffee def would have been worse!
Thankfully I didn’t drink any!
In a similar vein, I was making coffee and my dogs food at the same time. Scooped coffee grounds on top of my dogs biscuits. Brain took a while to get in gear at what was wrong
I think we all just need more sleep and the 8 hour work day is unnatural.
It’s insane to me that the US has not moved past 1940s workers rights. The middle and lower class is being crushed, not to the same extent but it’s bad
It is very bad. We should seriously riot everywhere.
I have to pick only one?
- Hallucinate
- Put a laptop in the fridge
- Slur my words
- Feeling myself being dumb just because i was tired.
Last week my partner and I had multiple two hour sleep days in a row.
The derealization was neat.
The bugs not as much so.
The ghost cats moving around my room out of the corner of my eye? Awesome.
The brain fog? Business as usual I guess.
I’m about to sleep properly for the 1st time in 4 days with a few hours sleep. I know the sleep deprivation dreams are coming. They are usually great but sometimes you get a bad one.
Not going to sleep even harder
Put my phone in the washing machine with my clothes.
It didn’t survive, RIP Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, you were a pretty good phone back in the day.
Put sneakers in the fridge.
Took some nyquil because I wasn’t feeling well, I had stayed up until like 4 and I was too tired to realize that the drowsiness wouldn’t wear off before I woke up. Got up feeling almost drunk and drove to work. I feel asleep on the road and woke up with just enough time to slow down before rear ending someone at 50 mph.
Reason #21 that my mid-life crisis hasn’t led to me buying a motorbike yet
Personally, I’m inching closer and closer to that bad decision. I recently found out Suzuki brought back the small displacement GSXR and it’s cheap! Not a good combo for keeping me on 4 wheels. Worlds ending anyhow, right?
Like 90% of motorcycle collisions are the driver running into something. Not being hit, not mechanical problems, not external forces.
If you only ride when you know you’re good, you’re as safe as a car.
If you only have a bike bikes are dangerous. If you default to a car and ride a bike recreationally, or for chores where you aren’t in a rush, you’ll be fine.
I’m honestly not worried about me. I’m worried about the rest of the morons on the road, not paying attention. I drive a Miata and an RX7, so both short cars. The amount of times I’ve nearly been run over, because someone doesn’t see me is crazy. A bike won’t be better.
Like I said, the lions share of motorcycle collisions is the rider running into something. With a motorcycle you’re exponentially more aware of other drivers and much more maneuverable. Once you think of EVERY car on the road as the moron trying to hit you, you can avoid it even if it was intentional. Which it never is, which means its even easier.
Take like 1 in-person motorcycle class and as long as you don’t hit something or run off the road you’ll be fine. Most insurance companies will even give you a discount once you take the class(my discount applies to my car as well)
I’ve been rear-ended three times in my car, twice while I had been stationary at a light for at least 5 seconds
Things like that are pretty much out of your control and go from annoying in a car, to injury or even death on a bike
I had planned to. It also waives you from the dmv test too.
Try phenegran 50mg. It doesn’t make me drowsy in the morning. Or just 25mg.
I just use dayquil now but thanks for the rec, I’ll have to check that one out
My brain switched yawning with moaning. Lets just say that wasn’t the proudest day of my adult work life
Really trying to imagine what this looked like lol
Probably didn’t look much different than a person yawning.
Attempt to drive home after being awake for ~2 days. Flipped my vehicle several times and luckily came away with no serious physical injuries.
Just done a 11hr 550mile drive on 3hrs sleep. Nearly 24hrs awake now. Was touch and go but 2days without sleep is worse. It’s not something I’d do again as It’s dangerous.
Although, the amount of people using phones while doing 80 and causing incidents is worse.
I’ve put a plastic bowl full with liquid chocolate on the stove instead of the coffee maker.
Also, once I microwaved butter in aluminum foil for like 5-6 seconds and wondered why is there firework inside.
Crash my car into a rock wall at 30 km/h. I’m glad I had dropped off my passenger because the passenger side no longer had leg space.
I hallucinated a werewolf and slammed on the brakes of an 8 ton military vehicle in rural Afghanistan, causing a patrol to go on alert for an attack.
Could be worse - a sleep-deprived navy crew crashed the USS McCain into a tanker
Yep. That’s definitely worse.
5 years after I left the Army, I still had some stuff put away where it used to be. Woke up after a night of drinking and 3 hours sleep, put on my PT uniform, and wondered why it was so tight.
Trying to go into work to perform a server upgrade was probably the dumbest thing I ever tried to do despite sleep deprivation. Thank god I never clicked OK when I was asked to because that would’ve been a bad news, career terminated mistake.
IT and sleep deprivation. It’s all fun and games.
This was back when I was in the military, I finished my shift, went to our dormitories, pissed with the door open while someone was taking a shower and went to my room, found out I sad in the girl’s dormitories.
