Maybe that's how YOUR brain works...

Here's a map of mine:

Vape cartridges??? Don't be ridiculous! That would be ABSURD! I feed it with a refillable vape mod

Good for the environment and wheel lube.

Ask Richard Gere

Do you have a link to the source?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Might be an issue with your instance/client. I mean it's not super sharp but still perfectly readable.

Switched to Thunder instead of Sync and it works much better now

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Something that I've found with Sync is that I needed to open the post itself first before I open the image. I assumed that Sync doesn't fetch the uncompressed image until you do so

Well I'm liking thunder a lot more anyway and it's ad free (or I'm just not noticing the ads which is whatever)

The thalamus is made of microplastics, obviously.

We should have that pesky problem removed..

Your lemmy client may limit the image resolution. Try opening it in the browser.

I remember seeing this on Reddit way back and apparently it’s from a weird religious organization with little scientific backing

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That makes sense. When I zoomed in and saw how they labeled auditory processing I was suspicious.

There's also cocaine in there

From a distance, it looks like a Waffle House menu that’s been scribbled on with crayons. But when you zoom in, you see god.

Ah yes, the god of flowcharts, maker of the interconnected, he of the inevitable line.

  • One person who has no background in neuroscience reckoning of how the brain works.
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

For what it is worth they did say they read a ton of neuroscience articles, although yes, engineer without a neuroscience background, so take this with a grain of salt. I think it's at least a dude earnestly trying who did try to do his research.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

They did and I'm not against it in principle but it did read a bit like I understand this better than neuroscientists because its just like computer systems and my understanding from neuroscientists is that these sub systems they outline in papers are highly contested and more like how you would model their function rather than actually how they work.

The one thing they seem to say consistently is that the analogy to computer systems work is flawed and the brain works very differently but it's very far from anything I understand so take that with a pinch of salt.

My brain on the other hand....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is the joke that the image link is broken because your brain is too?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not broken, either you have a problem connecting to my instance or your client doesn't support gifs.

It should be this gif here: https://media.tenor.com/AwNOpS9nClEAAAAC/homer-the-simpsons.gif

A day later and it works now so IDK

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Yeah but is it interoperable with Risc-V ?

My brain can't comprehend this. Checkmate, science.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

for a sec i thought i was in a "data is a warcrime" community

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Can confirm. That's the simplified version of what inside my mind looks like.

Some of these lines go on for days and just end up at an emoji 😒
