I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

sensei means teacher, but thats more of an occupation or a role. a teacher would be a senpai to their students, but also a senior teacher would be senpai to other teachers, the oldest student in the class would be senpai to other students, and so on. japan has a fuckload of really detailed honorifics and terms indicating social position & status in a group, to the point that your grammar will change depending on the social position discrepancy between you and the person you are talking to/about. senpai basically means "person who is supposed to act like a mentor to me and outranks me even if not by very much", the opposite is kouhai. even if we're talking about two grizzled dudes who work in a garage, whoever got hired first is the senpai and the other is the kouhai

I made it like 4 or 5 days before I realized that what he meant is that eating a liquid diet without regular timed meals makes you feel deeply and abstractly lonely. It's completely intolerable, even if you don't mind the flavor and your guts tolerate it. I still used it for breakfasts for a couple years because mornings suck, but goddamn I'd never try it as a true meal replacement again.

It's very strange, the first day you don't really notice it cause it's just some weird thing you're doing, but by the end of the second day it feels like there's a pane of glass between you and everyone else. I was still chatting with my coworkers and friends and people online, but something about reaching in the fridge and pouring out a pint of fluid and then sitting back at the computer or whatever just makes you feel like no one else is there. It's an amazingly strong feeling that made the process almost immediately unbearable. Sometimes when I'm very busy I don't have time for proper meals, but even just grabbing a random snack of lunch meat and pickles makes you feel so much more alive than liquid food.

I have some coworkers who drink huel or something, but they still do it at lunchtime and sit at the table during the lunch break. I feel the "take my lunch at the computer" part may be a bigger contributor than "my lunch is a liquid"?

It's more about it being your primary food source. I work in a greenhouse and am pretty social, and had Soylent for breakfast for years without issue. But something changed when it became almost all of my calories, and it sucked.

The important thing to remember with Soylent is that it's a scam.

There's a zillion nutrients your body needs that aren't in "meal replacements". There's so many amino acids and oddball poo poo like lycopene where it's not immediately noticable if it's missing from your diet, the way vitamin C or whatever is, but on a short timeline you're going to have fatigue and confusion and lethargy, and on a long enough timeline you're going to have massive muscle loss, organ failure, and death.

We are so extremely not meant to live on sugar water and the 40 or so things you find in a multivitamin. That's fine if you have 1 a day with normal food, but only consuming that poo poo is denying yourself hundreds of essential things you need to be healthy and also alive.

Chewing releases chemicals in your brain.

Chewing does not only crush food to aid swallowing and digestion; it also helps to relieve stress and regulate cognitive functions, including alertness and executive function.

One reason, but that's mostly about the dopamine you get from tasting food and becoming fuller.


I've been stress chewing since I was a baby. Blankets, fronts of shirts. Kicked it for awhile, but picked up chewing paper towels for a bit after college. Fine now.

Theoretically.

There's a whole thing about baseball guys chewing gum/tobacco because it improves focus and then science nerds studied it a hundred years later and were like "wait maybe they're onto something"

Also this. Snacking, like eating popcorn during a movie, actually holds your attention and pumps you up.

We didn't understand the science a hundred years ago, but we instinctively understood lazily grazing while taking in information does something for us to help us focus and remember. And now popcorn is synonymous with movies.

Not going to say you're weird because I'm far from a psychologist and am just doing a dumb guy translation, but all the memes/tweets about "finding the perfect show on Netflix/YouTube before I eat" is all related.

There's a natural connection to taking in information and grazing.

Sports being tied to gum/tobacco, TV being tied to eating dinner, popcorn tied to movies, snacking and studying, it's all connected. Chewing and focusing/retaining information is linked.
