Higher body temperature is associated with depression, but severe depression will lower it to room temperature.

This is such an odd comment for people to upvote. The human body runs around 37c / 98.6f. A “room temperature” body is literally a corpse.

(Edit: I’ll leave the comment. But yes, I’m a moron.)

That's the joke.

And you've now taken your first steps into the world of dark humor. Congratulations!

User name checks out.

If not for your sub thread, I wouldn't have caught the joke, so thx 🙏

Oh. So, thermodynamically speaking, severe depression can be classified as an abnormally high heat dissipation coefficient. Solution should be easy.. Insulation. dusts off hands Physics saves the day again! Somebody tell some techbros and Peter Thiel. I smell a medtech startup!

Thays one of them billion dollar ideas, warm blankets to help treat depression.

[–] sir_pronoun@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, it COULD be a billion dollar idea if you used rrreally cheap materials for the blankets - like, recycled asbestos - and also produced, say, medicine for lung cancer in one of your subsidiaries.

You must be some sort of brilliant businessman, getting them at both ends like that. Where do I invest an irrational amount of money to get in on the ground floor?

Porn too? Man, all you need is alcohol and mortgages and you got everything covered.

..sorry to be breaking the fourth wall here, but man, it would be hilarious if you actually thought x.com was porn xD couldn't blame you, though. If you weren't playing, I see it as my moral duty to remind you of this weird timeline we are in, where Elon bought Twitter and renamed it
