A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Having one throat to handle breathing and eating is dumb. Even having to eat or breathe at all is dumb.
I look forward to being uploaded to a hive mind AI so I don't have to worry about all this crap.
The database you get uploaded to will be sold to google, you will spend the rest of eternity as part of a focus group watching ads.
Look at it this way, you're half way there compared to species with cloaca.
There is no reason to wait. Have you tried to simply stop breathing and eating?
Fuck I didn't think of that
I very much appreciate my combined breathing and eating system whenever I have a cold and my nose is completely blocked.
In general, the mouth is a good alternative air channel when you prefer to sacrifice air filtration and smelling fiction in return for increased air flow. Not just when you're sick but also when you're doing strenuous activities.
I have R-CPD which is a condition that causes me to not be able to burp typically. I just got a treatment done to enable me to burp, Botox in the upper esophagus to weaken the dysfunctional muscle in there. This means it has been especially hard for me to swallow for the past few weeks while the Botox was at peak efficacy. Now with that said...
The amount of times in the past few weeks I have choked like this is unreal, relatable as hell. Thanks for reading if you stuck around, I know it's uninteresting
I found it interesting, and hope you are blessed with plentiful burps in your future!
I agree that it was interesting! Do you have to repeat the procedure regularly, or is it a one time thing?
For most people it ends up being one time as your body "learns" how to use that muscle
“Are you ok?”
Yeah, I cough yeah, hack uh I think a bug flew in my mouth or something. I'm sorry, that's gross.
Ahhh😭 manufacturing defects
Oh good, I thought I was the only one with a self destruct protocol that embarrassing.
Yeah, it mostly happens when I'm excited. I guess it has something to do with spontaneously inhaling your saliva or sth.
This seems to be a genetic thing too.
In my family there's my great gran, her two sons, the oldests daughter and me and my sister who all have that issue.
This only happens when I finally get to nap.
The main reason I quit smoking (aside from the chest pain, the smell, and terrible lung capacity.) It still happens once in a while but not like every half hour like before.
fyi this happens to people who are anxious or adhd
Wait, what? What part of ADHD would cause this?
Sighhh unzips
