#Defrag

[nightmare-from-heaven]

Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.

If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.

Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.

That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.

Give your brain a Daily Dose Of De-Frag.

jesus the defrag brainrot-

ok so i was really struggling with drawing a hand and so i thought jokingly "lol maybe theres a time in defrag where i could get that exact hand position and copy it" then i thought "oh yeah there is!" and i clicked on my defrag bookmark and then onto the exact comic i wanted without even thinking about it then i thought "this cant be normal"

on the 8th frame of eavesdropping 101 (as it is known as on comicfury at least) yellow clicks their fingers

and i somehow remembered that

Tentang Defragment dan Konser Kedua

Entah, agaknya inilah sebagian kepingan diriku yang baru ditemukan di umur ke-21: tertarik untuk menonton konser. Per umur 21, aku sudah menonton dua macam konser: CRSL #4 dan DEFRAG. Kali ini aku mau mengabadikan yang DEFRAG dulu, sebab konser ini ditonton berdasarkan target skripsi (haha perayaan menuju pendadaran, AAAMIIN!). Sehingga kurasa ini juga konser paling memorable mengingat akhirnya nonton Hindia lagi (di kedua konser aku memang mengincar performance-nya Baskara Putra wkwk). Ditambah Perunggu sebagai opener yang notabene salah satu band kesukaanku juga. Sangat worth it untuk tiket seharga Rp250.000 (belum termasuk pajak), yang mana berarti 1 lagu kurang dari Rp10.000. Mengapresiasi seni tidak semahal yang kukira(?).

Malam itu aku berhasil teriak-teriak sebanyak 25+ lagu. Dan esok paginya, tentu saja aku kembali ke rutinitas yakni mengajar praktikum. Bisa bangun pagi dan suara tidak serak adalah keajaiban :)

Oh ya, aku juga mengambil sebuah hipotesis baru dari sudut pandang seorang introvert dan orang tua strict parents yang akhirnya berani (lebih ke memberanikan diri) untuk menghadapi risiko nonton konser:

1. Aku rela mengeluarkan segala usaha dan materi demi sesuatu yang mau aku dukung. Membeli tiket konser gigs musik lokal dari musisi indie (ga terikat label rekaman/publish karya sendiri) misalnya. Antusiasmeku menyanyi bersama di setiap karya-karyanya meski suaraku jauuuh di bawah standar adalah bentuk kesepakatan antara isi pikiranku dengan si musisi yang dituangkan lewat lagu. Sampai di titik, “wah ini layak didukung full support!” aku akan datengin dia selama masih bisa kujangkau.

2. Dengan membeli tiket dari mitra resmi (meski harga lebih mahal daripada di calo) dan menonton konser/pertunjukan si musisi, membuktikan bahwa aku bukan sekadar beli sebuah gelang/kertas. Melainkan aku membeli pengalaman.

3. Menyadari bahwa ternyata ga cuma aku yang relate dengan apa yang mau disampaikan musisi lewat lagunya. Rasanya seperti, “wah mungkin pengalaman kita sama!” Seperti mencari jalan keluar dari permasalahan hidup yang kemudian bermuara di hilir yang sama.

Itulah potongan fragmen hikmah yang kudapat di DEFRAG 2024. Aku juga ga nonton sendiri. Aku dateng sama 4 kawan kerenku: Ghaza, Hanip, Alan, dan Hanmus. Pengalaman keren bisa meluapkan segala emosi dan capek hati yang udah menumpuk berbulan-bulan lalu.

my take on the thing going around

[skylarwinchestersmith]

Ok :)

[frosty-mage]

You know, it's been about a decade since I first saw it, and I don't think I've seen anything with the sheer beauty of the credits sequence of f33l.

It's a 2-and-a-half minute long, continuous, planned sequence. Every jump is precise, it flows well, and it incorporates basic strafing and rockets. However, despite being preplanned, it looks freeform... and then w3sp goes for the wildest sync a minute and a half in with no setup, followed by a triple a few seconds later.

It's even more impressive if you've tried defrag before; there are so many little things that could mess stuff up but don't.

Genuinely the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Ooooo love Sleep being similar to Defrag, since they serve similar purposes.

Brain infodump under the cut

So the brain is held in multiple layers of protection cause even a small amount of damage can be fatal. One is the skull, another is the fluid the brain floats in, and another is a membrane around the brain that all blood vessels from the body feed into, and that membrane delivers nutrients and oxygen into the fluid so they can be taken up by osmosis.

The blood brain barrier is a filter / security checkpoint. If a pathogen made it past the blood brain barrier, there would be no way to stop or kill it without compromising all functions for a time, and that is assuming It Is Detected At All. So instead our thinkmeats have a filter that all incoming deliveries go in through, and in terms of body structures those veins and cappilaries are tiiiiiiny so only the simpleist molocules can pass through. Oxygen is the big one, glucose is the second big one. Salt and potassium are also import but that's a story for another time ;3

Glucose is simple sugar, same as the sugar granuels you might add to your coffee in chemical composition. Since glucose does not need to be processed in any way to be sent to the brain, BRAIN LOVES SUGAR. Glucose in specific; its chemical structure can pass through the blood brain barrier no problem. Same with oxygen, they are itty bitty, a filter was advantagous, and we have a filter that has existed Before The Word Filter Did and that's wild imo

ANYWHOOZIT so brain needs oxygen and glucose to do its job, both generating and communicating with your bioelectricity to communicate throughout the nural network of the brain and with your broader nervous system.

Nothing ever disappears. Chemistry is part of how we figure out what parts are converted into energy ( the glucose ) and which bits are part of cell resparation ( oxygen + water = carbon dioxide ) and that the brain itself is made of fatty tissue and needs the kind of medium chain fats you find in nuts and avacados to render celluar repairs on daily ware and tare.

Neither the waste products that need to go out not the lipids ( fats ) that need to come in can go through the blood brain barrier, they're too big.

Once neurologists discovered things the brain produces as waste + needs for material repairs for daily maitinance cant pass the barrier... so where is that going?

And so they studied blood flow patterns while people slept, and found that the waste was cycled out through the brain stem while fresh building materials cycled in.

Current theory is since red blood cells have a carrying capacity and the brain needs Less Oxygen And Glucose during sleep, Sleep may be a low power mode animals developed as their brains got more complex and could fail more catastrophically if not protected AND maintained. Thus why most creatures with spines and a brain sleep for some time of their life; so everyone in the skull can flush the toilet and patch the generator before tomorrow starts.

This theory fits with what we know about the feeling of Being Tired or Exhaustion. As more waste builds up in the brain tissue, it gets in the way and blocks signals. Whether you notice it or not, every signal sent costs the same amount of glucose and oxygen, and produces the same amount of waste. Thus, the theory goes, why tiredness tends to hit folks all at once and Get Worse Really Fast. There is a Critical Density where every order is getting blocked by trash and its gotta be sent again. And again. And again.

How fast one gets tired depends on many factors from How Energy Efficent Your Individual Brain Is, how conductive the cerebral fluid is which is affected by neurotransmitters that release when we Feel Good. When somethin makes you happy, the conductivity of your brain increases, and signals travel further and faster... which can let you ignore being tired until critical mass it reached, and sometimes a bit after cause your friend keeps makin ya laugh and so long as you keep having fun with them it feels like you'll never tire; Because You Are Having A Good Time, brain makes with the Happy Juice, conductivity goes up.

ADHD folks who feel like they get sucked into social interaction even when they don't wanna; kinetic brains are often short on seratonin, a key neurotransmitter. Your brain is going HEY SOMEONE TURN UP THE FUCKIN SIGNAL because everything is taking multiple attempts, and thats also why kinetic and autistic folks can go from Okay to NOPE in a split second; their tiredness comes from the same chemical process burning on overdrive, producing excess waste that needs to be cleared more often.

Tis also why autistic and kinetic folks tend to have a sweet tooth; hungry brain is hungry. Just remember, Corn Syrup and Dextrose do not process into glucose. It tastes sweet, but starves the brain and forces the body to commit more energy to breaking down carbs or lipids to synthsize glucose. If you are Craving Sweet, eat something with real sugar. Your body is not your enemy, it wants to live, same as you. 🫂

Anywhoozit, connecting this back,

A defrag is a process of a computing system going through its central memory disk ( which not all devices have these days ) and Doing Some Housekeeping. If all the text files are on one edge of the disk and a new one is near the middle, then the new one can be removed and rewritten to sit with the rest of the text files. System with system, check for accidental duplications and junk data that is produced sometimes when a Save Process Fails And Must Be Tried Again

Takin out the trash, flushin the toilet, both put the connected devices into an unusable state where the best thing is to check back later; maitinance is underway.

I see it in fics all the time where Nick doesn't sleep he just lays there and waits for a few hours and i firmly deny it. My boy sleeps. He's a computer, computers have sleep modes, he'd sleep. But also we see him smoke, drink, presumably eat, be wounded and go down in battle, he's a synth, not a robot. As such im willing to believe some of his brain is squishy human-like matter, which would need sleep to function. Also istg I've watched him lay down in a bed in Sanctuary and go to sleep like other companions do.

My boy gets eepy i will not fall for the anti sleepy nick propaganda

AJDJSOAJW I MADE MY SPAMTON PLUSH THE DEFRAG OUTFIT

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I'm so normal. About. This comicc

Yes

Defragmentation by @zarla-s go read it if you haven't rjkwsjdkdhkash

[velvetwyrme]

okay hear me out

defrag = unfuck

cus to "fuck something up" is to made mistakes or complicate things a lot so mental defragging is like uncoiling and simplifying brain things

hey anon you'll be delighted to know that thats. exactly what it means.

in computing defragging/defragmentation is something that is done to file systems to clean and sort them :D!!
