What is going on with the t in still? It almost looks like a cross between a t and an f

It's still there to remind you that life is unfair.

Fhaf’s jusf how we wrife f’s here.

Whaf?

if we made it illegal who should i sue? life? the universe?

No the government would be obligated to sentence you to punishment for having woke up with a headache.

Thus I feel many would choose to not self-report. We'll have black market Tylenol knock-offs which will quickly turn to people dabbling in harder narcotics and eventually fueling an opioid crisis.

Seems preƭƭy normal ƭo me.

I agree, though I was half expecting sfilling some product in the bottom half.

Not every problem is fixed with a reboot, sometimes its a hardware problem or lack of water

I think it's a fake, but I cannot fathom why it would be. There's a tumblr post from a totally separate user with the exact same text barring the weird t, and the @randomuser profiles on twitter and bluesky don't look anything like this one

I just listened to the postcast Failure To Launch's series on Jack Parsons, a REALLY werird rocker scientist, who after handling nitroglycerin without gloves got a massive headache lasting 5 days straight.

This was so common among the team that it was called a "nitroglycerin headache".

Just thought about it when reading this post.

BTW, I can highly recommend the Failure To Launch podcast, it is absolutely brilliant.

You'd rather your body not tell you that something is wrong?

Yes. Please.

That would suck harder’n a black hole. You get a headache, try to sleep it off, fail and then get arrested because you didn’t get rid of your headache. Now you have a headache and you’re in jail! Waking up with a headache should be an effective palliative treatment situation, not a prosecutorial situation

This is what it sounds like, apparently. Scroll down to Audio sample.

Isn’t it used to treat heart attacks or something?

Oh, that’s bad. You really want your body to tell when you’re injuring yourself. People with no ability to feel pain often have their teeth pulled so they don’t unknowingly chew their own tongues off. You put your hand on a lit stovetop burner, you can’t feel it, and your hand cooks while you wonder what smells so good. You suddenly discover you can’t walk because your legs broke several months ago and you’ve been using them long past when others would have gone to the ER. You suffocate and don’t understand why your vision is fading, and you don’t realize that you’re dying.

While pain can easily be agonizing, not being able to feel pain means you have no way to know that you’re in critical danger.

It’s probably some kind of bot, because the post uses the regular “t” elsewhere, and because this (scroll down to audio sample) is what that letter sounds like. No one who regularly uses the word “still” would pronounce it with that consonant.

For me, I have to do the full Hard Reset. A nap. A shower. Maybe shave something.
If that doesn't work, trepanation?

Wait until you mean Mx. Thorny here on Lemmy.

I have, and instantly thought of them while commenting lol

Okay but what if I’m in critical danger all the time

THE THIRD WISH IS GRANTED:

The Trump Admin will now begin rounding up people with headaches and putting them into forced labor "treatment camps".

I took some time to learn a whole bunch of consonants from different West African languages for the sake of getting names right while running a D&D game. This one gave me, as a native English speaker, even more trouble than the double-articulated ones

Then you may have congenital insensitivity to pain, and should probably get to a hospital, even if you don’t feel like it

Headaches are most frequently referred pain from neck and scalp muscle spasms.

Yes sometimes headaches are an indicator of something else, but much less often.

Ugh. Just hearing that is triggering, I wouldn't want more details.

I think you mean Þorny

I frequently wind up looking up pronunciations on Wikipedia’s IPA keys just to figure out how some sounds are made, and the description for this one baffled me. I’m so glad when words have a pronunciation audit sample like this one, otherwise I’d never have figured it out

What works for me is to pop a bunch of painkillers and drink a bunch of water, then take a nap.

engagement bait probably

Might be a buggy bootloader or memory leak from a background process

It's not often that we have to learn to make sounds like breathing in instead of out!

I find my headaches are almost always related to either:

1. Tense back/shoulder muscles;
2. Lack of sleep; or
3. Magnesium deficiency.

Obviously YMMV but if you have migraines with no discernible cause, try magnesium oxide. Literally changed my life

Okay, but have you considered that I have no health insurance and live in a shithole country that will happily let me suffer and die for being broke? I'd rather feel fine until I keel over than agonize while having to push through. What use is pain I can't do anything to address?

definitely rogue background processes.. maybe some worms or trojans mixed in. damn things are persistent af, too.

Taking a nap often gives me a headache

It must be that new Windows 8+ bootloader that saves a snapshot of running processes to "come up faster."

I haven't seen them þem in a while, are they þey still around?

That should be illegal too!

Poured water over the mainboard of my computer. Now my problems are even bigger

Self censorship gone too far

That's the reason why i take something against my headache in this case, because it must be pretty bad in the first place for me to go lie down. Makes the likelyhood of that to happen much lower.

That’s a good point, I haven’t seen them either lately.

Edit: searched for the þ symbol and found them, sxan@piefed.zip. They’re still active as of today 50 minutes ago.

This bitch needs electrolytes

Migraine is worse. Go to bed without headache, wake up with splitting headache. Unfortunately relaxation tis a common migraine trigger.

I love how caffeine can both be a trigger and a treatment.

Yeah I use it to prevent, but for one of my offspring (and only one of them) it's a trigger.

But to be fair, the list of potential food triggers the doctor gave me once made me cry, it was literally every food. And also fasting. I'm sure they are trying to help but it always feels like being blamed - you are causing the headaches, just stop doing whatever is causing them!"

Dude. My main migraine triggers were my period, and sleep, relaxing after stress. Not things I could avoid, no matter how much you try to blame it on lifestyle. Menopause plus MHT took care of the main trigger, now it's just that sleep after stress one, much less frequent now, I can often dodge them with some coffee before bed, I guess that keeps everything slightly tense until I wake up, and they don't usually start in the day. Massage only scheduled for mornings, never late in the day. Any cocktail or wine is with supper or earlier never ever ever before bed. Those things do help but don't prevent all of them.

username checks out, like what the hell is that "t"?

The first time this happened to me reminds me of the first time it took me two full days to get over a hangover. I was like "Motherfucker, what's going on here!?"
