What some weird stuff your body does?(can be NSFW) (programming.dev)

My sister got a Bluetooth headset and it reminded me that i cant use those because my ears heat up in less than 10 seconds after putting them on, in fact as i am typing this my ears are kinda of uncomfortably hot. Dust also cause my ears to heat, it usually the cause but it can also happen randomly as well as when i leave the PC monitor running when i sleep(same room).

there is some other stuff i thought to mention but i think it would be better for a post after discovering your body(e.g my cousin though all ppl can only see through one eye until recently because he himself can only see through one eye and that's how he found out he has only one functioning eye)

Also feel free to talk about NSFW stuff and is this post hard to read(sentence structure wise)? Cause i never know if ppl have hard time reading my post, and at the moment i find it hard to read myself

I have photic sneeze reflex aka sudden exposure to bright light tends to make me sneeze. Usually happens if I've been indoors for a while and then walk out into a bright sunny day.

For a long time never really thought about it, just figured it was a normal thing. Wasn't until adulthood that I started noticing most people don't do that and looked it up. If Wikipedia is correct 18% - 35% of the world's population has that condition.

I’m in the crazy sneezing corner at work.

  • My coworker has allergies, with fits of many sneezes.
  • At the same time every day when the sun comes in, I get hit with three rapid sneezes - loud too. It’s always a surprise so I don’t have time to figure out how to sneeze quietly. You could set a clock by it

You can't just post this and leave out the other name for this:

Autosomal-dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst

Or: ACHOO

Everyone realizes this is a joke acronym, right? Or am I dumb for thinking that needs to be pointed out?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

In academia finding onomatopeeic acronyms is a type of sport. I don't know enough about this instance, but an acronym like this can be both a joke and a proper academic designation.

I have something similar. Honeymoon rhinitus. People have picked up the perception that, if I sound like I have a cold when I talk to them, I really like them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I have that too and also thought it normal for the longest time. My wife calls it that I ”get sun in my nose”.

I've definitely got some variant of the photic sneeze. If I'm in a small sneezing fit, and I want to continue to dislodge the whatever, I look for the brightest area and wait. Takes less than 5 seconds.

If I feel a sneeze lingering all I have to do is look at the sky or a light and I can get it out right away. It's like a cheat code for getting it over quickly. It can be annoying when driving sometimes when the sun is suddenly in my face and I immediately sneeze.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yup! I do the cheat all the time. But I don't have the inconvenience of the sun randomly triggering it. It's like I'm Blade, The Daywalker of Sneezing
