Awkwardness PhD š. Progresismo incluyente y humanismo secular.
I was reading a post and just had to think about what āidcā meant. Iām glad I donāt use it enough to intuitively know. And Iām glad I use idk often.
A kind of silver lining from #COVID19 is my current cold.
I presented cold symptoms five days ago. Tested negative for COVID. Still used my mask every time I left my room.
(Hopefully) Nobody in my house will get sick from me. Nobody will question me using my #mask. That would've been way harder to normalize without COVID.
So this is what internet rabbit holes are like.
Anyway, hereās something I didnāt know existed: dance marathons!
It may sound fun, but after a couple of hours the sweat, the exhaustion, the faltering brainā¦ no thanks.
I love this theory. The article just keeps getting better:
āAnother popular theory is that the outbreaks were all staged,[11]:71 and the appearance of strange behaviour was due to its unfamiliarity.[2]:137 Religious cults may have been acting out well-organised dances, in accordance with ancient Greek and Roman rituals.[2]:136[2]:137 Despite being banned at the time, these rituals could be performed under the guise of uncontrollable dancing mania.ā
āAffecting thousands of people across several centuries[ š³š¤Æ], dancing mania was not an isolated event, and was well documented[ā¼ļø] in contemporary reports. It was nevertheless poorly understood, and remedies were based on guesswork.ā
This is one of the coolest things Iāve read. Itās also kinda spooky.
āDancing mania [ā¦] was a social phenomenon that occurred primarily in mainland Europe between the 14th and 17th centuries. It involved groups of people dancing erratically, sometimes thousands at a time. The mania affected men, women, and children who danced until they collapsed from exhaustion and injuries.ā
