So this happened last night and I genuinely can’t stop thinking about it. We’re all just hanging out, and somehow the topic of breathing comes up.
Friend A says automatic breathing is objectively superior you don’t have to think about it, it just happens, it’s the most efficient system imaginable. Friend B fires back that manual breathing gives you control. You can pace yourself, deepen it, regulate it on command. Why would you ever give that up?
It escalated FAST. Friend A called manual breathing “a full-time job with no pay.” Friend B said automatic breathing is “letting your body run on autopilot like a NPC.” At one point someone said “you’re literally breathing manually right now just because I mentioned it” and the whole room went quiet because everyone suddenly became aware of their own breathing.
They’re still not speaking to each other.
What do you think? automatic? or manual breathing? are you breathing manually right now because you read this?
If this is true (and I’m not wholly convinced it is), then I change my comment to “c/badposting is leaking again, please go back there so I don’t have to see this”.
Actually let’s just send this post to c/badposting either way.
Consider a person saying that breathing automatically makes you an NPC and that they are 100% genuine. Even if i were to humor the idea that the conversation happened I truly think it would have been entirely tongue-in-cheek
Maybe. Maybe.
