Ask Lemmy

Mentally perceive sounds as color. I don't get the visual effect as with true synesthesia but more like my mind says "that sound is blue" when I hear it.

I think it's pretty wild that the body will just accept exogenous cross-sex hormones and start using them without issue.

EDIT: well, a caveat would be that cross-sex hormones would cause gender dysphoria for cis populations, and their brains don't function as well on them, but I meant more like even a cis person's body will grow boobs on estrogen or grow thick dark hair and develop stronger body odor on testosterone. It's just wild the body is so adaptable, though maybe it shouldn't be surprising since most people have all the hormones, just in varying amounts.

Sneezing when I eat too much, typically 3 times.

• If I blow my nose too hard when I’m sick I get pink eye
• I sneeze when I walk outside on a sunny day

When I eat a few dill pickles, my scalp tingles. It's mostly a pleasant sensation.

im not kidding when i drink milk, my stool ends up with blood. I thought I was lactose intolerant but I do need to check.

So far with lactose free milk im okay! so i can still eat cereal :)

I get a searing pain up the side of my face if I yawn incorrectly

I can feel pain in my back and knees when I'm tired. That may be a tell that I'm getting old

I often have weird shakes when falling asleep, something like with epileptic seizure but only for a second

Sometimes I have this weird fucked up perception of scale or distance, laying in bed and it feels like the ceiling is like going far away. Also sometimes had this very anxious feeling of something like sheet of paper being crushed or something. Don't remember when these last happened but was really common when I was a kid
