    The burnt toast is likely a mistaken reference to a Canadian Heritage Minute about an epileptic woman who smelled burnt toast when she had seizures. A pioneering neurosurgeon kept his patients awake while probing their exposed brain to find and burn out malfunctioning nerves. It is actually epilepsy not a stroke that the burnt toast thing is associated with, not that everyone with epilepsy smells burnt toast, that was just the famous one that most Canadians of a certain age will know.

    Here it is for anyone curious. https://youtu.be/pUOG2g4hj8s?si=ZdFcRR0a3Q3FaAf4





  • These were probably originally drawn from organs pulled out of cadavers and sketched or drawn while laid out on a table.

    When we think of organs we think of them all separate like we see in books instead of the truth that they are all jammed together with no open space to see.





  • Realize you aren’t going to be happy all the time. We live a life that sometimes sucks. Our grandparents, our parents, our siblings, and our friends die. Choose to remember the happy times you had with them. Go do things you like to do, remember those times when shit is bad and know that you can make more happy memories later too.

    Find happiness in love, from people, from pets, maybe even your children if you choose to have some. Make others happy too if you want because happiness is better when shared with others.
