Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

The environment matters more than what it is.
My old office space everyone would get shocked from the metal cubicules with fabric sound dampeners. Like, enough that you saw a blue flash even with bright office lighting. It could be how you sleep, I stayed at an Airbnb and pulling the blanket apart from the sheet set off a bunch of blue sparks consistently.
Even if someone touches the same microwave and it doesn't happen, it doesn't rule out the environment.
It is 100% not in anyway related to if you have ADHD. Or whatever the fuck "high energy" is supposed to mean.
All the weird shit you think is happening, is just normal human psychology.
Our brains need reasons for things, but really doesn't care what reason or if it makes any sense.
This is the entire reason religion inevitably shows up. Or "cargo cults" after WW2.
Our subconscious is doing a lot more of the heavy lifting then we assume, our conscious mind just rationalizes shit. Rather that where ever you're getting the "high energy" stuff, look into real psychology studies. There's some really cool shit out there, and it's actually real.

Literally, right now there is an entire nother "you" in your own head, it just can't communicate verbally.
Most likely that "you" wanted you to turn the fucking light off so you both could sleep better. It can't verbalize that thought, even internally. But it can make the side of your body it controls feel warm and get "your" attention that way.
I know that's a long rant, but there's plenty of weird shit out there already, we don't need to invent new imaginary weird shit
