Quick question. When someone asks what age you were in a certain year do you give the age that you were before or after your birthday that year?

Do you give the younger or older of the two ages you were that year?

I give the younger (age before your birthday in a given calendar year)

I give the older (age after your birthday in a given calendar year)

i really do think we should substitute gacha games instead for like. the random wikipedia article button. gives you the same "yay i got something new and exciting!" feeling without spending any money and you get to learn something new on wikipedia. the problem is that its missing a cute little storage menu where you can see all the links to different articles youve "collected"

so many people could be weaned off of gambling if we just gamified that website a *little* bit

In the 1700s, blood transfusion was used to treat psychosis. Oddly, sometimes it worked.

So a question for my followers: Give your best guess as to why this could have worked without looking it up.

I will answer tomorrow.

[macgyvermedical]

Answer: A particularly common form of psychosis occurred in the final stage of infection with syphilis. Syphilis is an uncommon bacteria in that is is extremely sensitive to temperature- so sensitive that a high fever greatly reduced or even eliminated infection with the bacteria. In fact, once quinine became available to treat malaria, which caused repeated high fevers, intentional infection with malaria was used to cure syphilis, which would then be treated with quinine. But in the 1700s, they (Europeans, at least) didn't have quinine yet.

So how did a blood transfusion treat syphilis? Well, in the 1700s, blood transfusions were not done with human blood- they were done with animal blood, usually lamb or calf blood. Since biblically calf or lamb blood was pure and contributed to the sweet nature of the animals, it was thought that if given to someone who was experiencing paranoia and hallucinations, the psychotic symptoms would decrease. This was not the case.

The amounts were usually small enough that the person didn't die. But it did cause frequent transfusion reactions. These reactions frequently caused high fevers, which treated the syphilis and helped decrease the symptoms caused by it.

[8nin]

do you guys ever like forget you’re interested in something until you start engaging with it again and you go “oh wait i’m like crazy crazy about this yeah”

[rohirric-hunter]

To be entirely fair to the Master of the Houses of Healing, what happened from his point of view was that Mithrandir (a semi-divine being who sometimes drops by to bicker with the head of state about who knows what) drags a stinky, raggedy, abnormally tall man into his hospital and unilaterally declares that This Guy is going to Cure Death, and This Guy goes up to one of your patients, who you may or may not be aware is actually the current head of state on account of the previous one having lit himself on fire, and just stares for like, a weirdly long amount of time, and then he mumbles about a Historical Figure a bit and puts his hands on the patient’s head and starts chatting with him like this whole thing is perfectly normal, and then he looks you in the eye and says, “Hey, do you have any [definitely not a made up word]?” and you’re like, “I’m sorry, I don’t know what that is,” and he calls you an idiot six ways from Sunday and then finally says, “I’m looking for dandelion buds, obviously, duuuuh,” and, not really wanting to deal with the backlash of telling this definitely absolutely mentally stable individual and his freakishly long legs that dandelions are a weed, you call the herbology nerd on the payroll in and ask if she knows what he’s talking about and, completely unprepared for what she’s dealing with, she explains hesitantly that she’s heard some people eat dandelion greens with their salads? Is that what he’s after? And then Mithrandir calls her an idiot six ways from Sunday, insults her family, and threatens violence on her if she doesn’t bring him some dandelion buds right this instant, and you send someone off and eventually they come back with a few (which were hard to find because the people in this city don’t cultivate weeds in their gardens, also it’s the wrong season), and This Guy does indeed proceed to Cure Death with dandelion buds.

Then the herbology nerd declares him the new head of state.

i feel. like on a fundamental level. i do not understand x reader fic. i am not exactly opposed to it because let a thousand blossoms bloom etc. but like. i genuinely don’t get it. it seems like the exact opposite of how i engage with fiction. like the whole point is that i’m not in there. i don’t wanna be in there. if i’m in there it’s going to be very stressful.
