Yawn
(lemmy.ca)
You're not tired, but you saw a post about yawning? Well, guess what.
You are now yawning manually.
When a baby is crying on an airplane during takeoff or landing, I visibly and audibly yawn in front of them on purpose, so they catch the yawn and pop their ears.
that is genius
You're supposed to stay in your seat during take off and landing. Please, remain in your seat. Why do you keep getting out of your seat and silently scream at the babies?!
Wtf
Just reading this made me yawn.
same! what is this WITCHERY!?1
oh gods dammit fuck aaaaall y'aaaaaall.
Yawn
I've yawned three times already reading through all these comments.
A yawn is a signal to regain some alertness, so when you yawn in order to become more awake, it signals your fellow life forms they might want to be alert too. 🥱
Apparently there isn't much consensus on what the actual reason(s) are for yawning. Apparently fish yawn though, so that's cool.
Isn't it a social signal, apebrain talking?
Solitary animals yawn too. Don't if they can catch yawns, or how to test it.
Are there any other involuntary social signals?
Have you seen a stork yawn? They push their spine out through their mouth
You saw an animal open their mouth big? Have fun.
Got to make everyone tired so they don't get you while you sleep.
This post literally made me yawn. Not because it's bad either.
