Will we see the discourse goalposts move to pre-historical accuracy?
Snarkiness aside, I really wish the disciplines would communicate more in matters like these, because I think that the implications for our greater cultural consciousness regarding human mythology and modern sociological structures are kinda cool?
so i went and read the study because i was curious what these stories actually are and the data they use comes specifically from indo-european speaking societies so it’s not a worldwide thing. but the method they used is pretty amazing.
anyway, the only story they could confidently trace back to the bronze age (the bronze age!!) is ‘the smith and the devil’. three other stories (’the boy steals the ogre’s treasure’, ‘the animal bride’ and ‘the grateful animals’) have a +50% likelihood of being part of the proto-indo-european story corpus.
and here are the other stories that can be traced at least one level up from current european languages:
mind reader: *reads my mind* my mind: “Because uhm… the mongoose has specialised acetylcholine receptors that make it impervious to venom and so they’re known for…killing snakes… veeerry surprisingly dangerous. Like y’know ricky ticky tavy? Y’know…not everything has to be a joke. Sometimes you can just be honest about your feelings and that’s how I see myself, y’know? I might not be the most threatening silhouette but I like to think of myself as somebody who could stand up for… Y’know it doesn’t always have to be goof goof dildo, okay?! I’m-I’m travelling around with the boner squad and I never get to just say… what I’m feeling! I have emotions! It’s not all abra-ca-fuck-you and what have you! I have a beating heart! I’m multi-dimensional! I’m a fully realised creation!…FUCK!” mind reader: what the fuck?
W.T Stevens Construction is the black owned business that is doing more than the government….. hella props to them
One more time for the MUTHA FUCKERS in the back
This is how it’s going to have to be from now on. Since the government is upright trying to kill us we are just going to have to take care of ourselves.
It’s about time someone got around to uncovering all the cheat codes for this “human being” software. It’s only been out for like 10,000 years.

I’ve used this technique for about a year, and I can safely say that it has efficiently transformed my sleeping habits from several hours of struggle to fall asleep, to passing out in a matter of minutes.
It’s a form of Alexander Technique. It’s a technique that was designed for actors to keep their body in ready working condition and give it the best way to perform. This is the method used to calm, and center the body. Once the body is at that point it can perform anything you want it to.
Reblogging for later reference after I tried it earlier today to try to calm down. It actually does help a lot, not just for sleep but if you have problems with anxiety.
My default mental setting is “vibrating intensely in the background.” After doing this, I felt noticeably calm and relaxed – I wasn’t as fixated on my breathing, I wasn’t tense, my movements weren’t jerky and I didn’t feel like I had to be as tense as possible to be under control. 10/10 would recommend.
me gonna try it
dont wanna reblog but insomnia is a bitch for some ppl so heres for my mutuals having trouble sleeping.
