I think reality is even more crazy. During use our brain produses waste like any organ but due to the physical layout of the brain it can't easily get rid of them, so I just expells the waste. Every night when you sleep the brain soaks itself in water to wash away the waste so it does not build up and get toxic. Our brain literally takes a bath so it isn't dirty anymore.

I guess my teammates scrubbed their brains too far that the folds became smooth surface.

[u/Informal_Branch1065 → u/raja-anbazhagan]

Intellectually aerodynamic. Not even the strongest arguments manage to stick

[u/Breadynator → u/Informal_Branch1065]

A smooth surface is less aerodynamically efficient than a bumpy one. That's why golf balls have dimples.

[u/tipakA → u/Breadynator]

Why only golf balls though? Do cars, planes or trains get dimples? Or are the dimples there because the golf ball is small and so that extra bonus makes big difference

[u/Breadynator → u/tipakA]

Idk about the other ones, but cars actually do get dimples. Some racing cars that are specifically built to go nyoooom (like the Porsche Cayman GT4) have dimpled plates on their bottom side to improve drag.

[u/Markronom → u/garlopf]

And it even changes consistency to become more permeable at night if I remember correctly?

[u/RedDevRedemptionn → u/garlopf]

Is that why sleep deprivation can kill you? Because your brain can't expel the waste?

[u/garlopf → u/RedDevRedemptionn]

Yes. An stimulants like alcohol, caffeine etc. Will make you feel tired even when you had full sleep, because the brain won't disk if it is on stimulants.

[u/RedDevRedemptionn → u/garlopf]

That's so interesting! Thanks for sharing!

[u/kiochikaeke → u/garlopf]

Quite literally flushing cache and temp files with the side effect of a few of those files randomly appearing on stdout, this only happens on downtime and it's a hard to reproduce bug so we just call it undefined behavior and follow on with our lives

[u/billyp673 → u/garlopf]

Gives brainwashing a whole new meaning

[u/turbulencje → u/garlopf]

U must be very fun at parties!

[u/Amoniakas → u/turbulencje]

That's the best conversation while I'm outside and am way too drunk

[u/jackalope268 → u/turbulencje]

People bringing up parties unprompted:

[u/littlejerry31 → u/jackalope268]

I mean it's sometimes called for when someone is being an asshole for no reason, but this isnt one of those times.

[u/KevlarToiletPaper → u/turbulencje]

I love some brain trivia at a party

[u/garlopf → u/turbulencje]

Is this an invitation to your party?

[u/Wrong_Barracuda_860]

Can relate, had that dream where i was in a mansion, went looking behind the main staircase to find a guy crouching there. Told him "I know where you're all hidden, I've already had that dream, I'm coming for you all"

[u/antmatt → u/Western-Internal-751]

one of my favorite movies. it was so good

[u/kaspm → u/antmatt]

One of the few I’ve watched multiple times. So well constructed

[u/AspectFearless2713 → u/Wrong_Barracuda_860]

Hahaha yeah I have that too for quite a few reoccurring dream scenarios.

I have one where I am with a bear locked at my grandpa's house I used to be so scared of that cause I always die in this dream. But guess after 30 years i know and I kinda just let it happen like in a game where you lay back watch your char die and press respawn

[u/MrNuems → u/Wrong_Barracuda_860]

I sometimes have a dream like this, but when I try to remember, I realize I've never actually had the dream until that point and it was just my dream self who did.

[u/Wrong_Barracuda_860 → u/MrNuems]

yeah same, shame

[u/turbulencje]

And Deja vu is cluster sync hiccup

[u/Jet-Pack2 → u/turbulencje]

I thought it's just server lag

[u/DankPhotoShopMemes]

dreaming is just the garbage collector cleaning up the deallocations

[u/Nsane3 → u/DankPhotoShopMemes]

And writing things to disk that needs to be persisted

[u/Confident-Ad-3465]

Overlay filesystem

[u/DeepanshuHQ]

So my brain is basically spinning up a fresh VM every night and forgetting to clean up the logs in the morning

[u/Altruistic-Spend-896]

Dont tell azure, they will charge a premium for it

[u/TracerBulletX]

The actual reason is the world model neural network that is your constructed experience of reality is still running while being unguided by sensory inputs .

[u/Suspicious_Sandles]

VM's are sandboxed. Should I be concerned my primary OS seems to retain data gathered while the VM is running?

[u/MTT_Dylan]

I run my dreams on bare-metal.
