It spreads very slowly.

Disappointed that it doesn't turn you into a sloth. I'd be able to hang out in the trees all day if I got it.

"Patients are generally encouraged to rest, stay hydrated, and use over-the-counter pain relievers[...]"

Sounds like you turn yourself into a sloth... Where you do it is up to you, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Sloths can hang onto a branch for hours and sleep while they do it. They also have their own little ecosystem involving a moss and a moth that only grow on the back of sloths. That's what I want for my life.

Wow, that's crazy. My ecosystem only has microdenizens; I can't image what it would be like to go macro. Good luck making your dreams come true =☆

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
