overview for ILoveDurians

I read some weird fanfiction a friend dared me to read (which I now regret) it involved a man holding his girlfriend in his lap with her back to his chest. the man was on cocaine which allowed him to stay awake for much longer than normal. The man started flexing his pecs up against her back constantly, changing up the pattern so her brain couldn't get used to it. she did something bad, so he was doing it to kill her via sleep deprivation. he kept this up for over a week and she ended up dying of sleep deprivation.

If that happened irl, would it be possible? This article seems to suggest it's possible to voluntarily stay awake until you die but it's from the Dailymail so who knows if it's even a true story xD

How good are amphetamines for brain fog? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

She's looking to mention her brain fog and how she needs it to improve on her next appointment. It's often prescribed for brain fog in some places. Her brain fog is bad enough that directions like left/right take up to 5 seconds to compute and she keeps telling me how embarrassing it is

My friend has very bad brain fog from a physical condition. It's so bad she often pauses when she speaks like a YouTube video trying to buffer on a bad internet connection and she told me she wants to be more like her former self. She's on medication for the condition, but the brain fog is one symptom that persists. She wants some good insight on how effective amphetamines are for brain fog in the non-ADHD population. She could only find people who have both ADHD and brain fog which could skew things. She doesn't have ADHD, just brain fog.

Why do some people say "I wouldn't want a government to dictate what I eat"? This would mean they'd be against food safety regulations, would it not? Context was the idea of a government banning meat (lemmy.cafe)
