As far as I know, the purpose of yawning isn’t really understood, but it’s present in nearly all land vertebrae. Maybe it’s a universal bug in the breathing animation code.

    neither is sleeping - nor dreaming. sleep is still such an interesting and elusive thing.

    i’ve recently fallen into what i can only hope is a trap. i think i’m already dead, and this experience is just me remembering my life.

      Woof. I dread to think that I would remember in such precise detail all the dozens of lemmy posts and comments I’ve read this morning. But it’s quite a thought!

        i can’t quite describe the intensity of the horror. it’s like a dream where you can’t run, but at time same time someone’s forcefully twiddling a finger on your precious in-between. it’s a scream you just can’t type.
