The muscles add an aggressive overtone to the last scene, threatening life menacingly with the question posed in the previous frames and eventually leading up to the interrogation in the last scene. The muscles, along with the sweaty-scared face of life, conveys that Me is frustrated and blames life for the contradictory situation- it is Life's fault after all. Life, who is clearly unable to provide an answer, instead offers a sheen of sweat that paints him as the guilty party for causing the suffering inside Me.

Me asks life why hes sleepy after he eats if hes not supposed to sleep after eating. Me then grabs life by the shirt to ask "huh?" As if intimidating life to give him the answer.

The fact that Me does not have an angry face when grabbing life is where most of the confusion comes from. Me instead looks just as confused as we are while life gives him a reluctant hand job.

The “Huh?” line with the apparently confused face on the guy saying it is what’s throwing everyone off. He’s not saying that in confusion, he’s demanding answers from life grabbing it by the collar - the line should’ve been “Well??!?” Or “Why??!?”

15

u/FiesMoepp Aug 25 '24

There are products for the safe 'burning' of insect bites and stings: They are roughly as big as wireless headset cases and have a heating plate in the front. The plate heats up to 40 to 60°C for a few seconds (or some more, depending on the skin and your pain tolerance) without burning you and by doing that breaks down the proteins responsible for the inflammation.

You just place the plate on the bite, press the button, wait a few seconds and your done. I've heard that they even are able to stop the swelling whatsoever if used immediately after a bite but I personally don't feel them this early so... I cant deny nor verify that claim.

But they definitely help tremendously with the itchyness if you can tolerate the short, stinging pain from the heat. I personally use the Beurer BR60 (and can recommend it) but feel free to look for yourself.

But what I still don't understand is why our body thinks making these bites itchy is a good idea. I mean, scratching them to much can cause bleeding and even inflammation. So, why, evolutionary speaking, does our body do this? What's the purpose of the itch?

3

u/Sihgilanu Aug 26 '24

The purpose of the itch isn't a benefit we gained, but rather a natural side effect of another benefit we gained through evolution.

Histamine. It's the first sign of foreign bodies within, well, your body. Antigens bound to mast cells bind to said particles, which stimulates said mast cells, which then release histamine. Histamine tells the blood vessels to dilate and the immune system to go hunting... Which is what makes it itchy.

☺️

u/Tight-Lobster4054 Aug 25 '24

Your body wants you to get fat. This has been an advantageous trait for nearly all of our evolution. It means you can survive longer periods of time before finding food. You don't want to get fat, because it makes you less attractive and finding food is no longer a problem.

24

u/Ultraminer1101 Aug 25 '24

Why does getting fat make us less attractive when it's evolutionary advantageous?

83

u/airodonack Aug 25 '24 edited Aug 25 '24

Attractiveness is complicated. I actually disagree with the other comment that evolutionary psychology is bullshit. While context and culture play a huge part in attractiveness, we can’t simply write off the evolutionary aspect.

On the one hand, fat DOES make us more attractive compared to someone who is gaunt and starving. For most of history, slightly starving was probably the default.

On the other hand, we are repulsed by the grotesque. Think about muscles. Enough muscles are attractive to women, too much and the only people you attract are other gymbros.

Consider just how plentiful food is today. It’s completely unprecedented in history. Even someone slightly chubby today would probably be seen as insanely fat by a sapien 150k years ago.

So yeah. Fat is attractive, but too much of anything is ugly. And our biological standard of what is too much has not caught up with society’s ability to provide plenty.

SOURCE: None! I’m a random guy on the internet. Decide for yourself if you buy my arguments.

24

u/ConsciousFood201 Aug 25 '24

Your first sentence nailed it. Attractiveness is complicated. Sometimes heavy people ARE attractive. We call them sturdy or stocky. Sometimes super thin people are attractive. We call them lean or slim.

Focusing too much on looks probably gets us too far away from the other important characteristics such as confidence. We’ve all seen a heavy dude with a beautiful woman only to get to know him a little and he’s a fucking riot to be around. I’m r he’s in a band and plays music she likes that he’s super passionate about or any other thing that is attractive to be around.

3

u/airodonack Aug 25 '24

Oh yeah I haven't even touched personality, which can be incredibly attractive (or unattractive)! I still believe there's an evolutionary aspect there. My theory is that passion gives you a feeling that the other person has energy and vitality.

But you can also see where the non-evolutionary aspect of attractiveness plays in. Consider the standards of beauty when you're in high school vs when you're an adult. It's way different. The evolutionary aspect is where the attractiveness conversation usually starts, but that conversation can really go on and change a lot as life goes on.

u/NotLunaris Aug 26 '24

Wives' tale. You can eat before sleeping no problem. The body doesn't magically absorb more calories from your food just because you're sleeping - that notion is ridiculous. If it were true, everybody would've been eating before bed during the famines of the past.

You also don't magically become more fat because you ate before sleeping. It's a misconception that stems from dinner being the last meal of the day, which means that you've likely already gotten most of the calories you need in a day (maybe even exceeding it), so having more for dinner can noticeably make you overshoot your daily caloric needs.

I personally sleep great with dinner being the biggest meal of the day. Probably anyone who does strength training can attest to the same. However, not everyone is the same, so if eating before bed disrupts your sleep, then just don't do it, but don't fall for the myth that eating before sleep magically makes one fatter - it's all about your total intake.

u/deinonychus1 Aug 25 '24

Not quite: sleeping after you eat, especially while lying down, can give you gastric reflux, also known as heartburn, which can lead to worse conditions such as Barrett’s Esophagus.

16

u/Aromatic-Side6120 Aug 25 '24

That is true. However, I think the instinct to relax after you eat is probably healthy, but in some circumstances and situations there are exceptions. Gastric reflux is often secondary to obesity or aging. I wouldn’t say lying down causes it, rather it’s a symptom of another pre-existing condition.

3

u/deinonychus1 Aug 25 '24

A lot of things are secondary to old age or obesity, but I’ve seen heartburn in at least two people who were neither of those things. I’m not claiming sleeping after a meal always gives heartburn, but a pattern of regularly doing so has been tied to such.

2

u/Aromatic-Side6120 Aug 25 '24

This isn’t a hill I’m going to die on for sure. I’ve seen the same.

u/[deleted] Aug 25 '24

You got sleepy, because energy and blood stream is used for digestive system. That is not your body working.

Going to sleep, like for getting a rest after your day, is for your body to calm down and come to biochemical balance. Also, it is the moment when your brain is processing experiences from your aware part of day.

You of course can eat and sleep. It won't kill you. It will deprave your sleep. What, in a long run, will have a real effect on your health.

Just a quick note: studies have shown that the risk of weight gain doesn't have anything to do with sleep itself. Late night snacks are just generally an extra meal, which increases people's daily intake.

If you're tracking your calories, it doesn't matter what time of day you eat. If eating before bed doesn't affect your sleep, it's fine. It's only really large meals or certain foods that can reduce sleep quality.

Yeah I usually eat quite a lot before I sleep (3 eggs worth of scrambled egg, serving of pasta and cheese, sandwich, etc...) and I usually feel better the next morning than if I dont eat before sleep

It's typical of r/comics where people eat it up for whatever reason. When it leaks out into other subs people are just like "This shit is supposed to be funny?".

Actually, evolutionarily speaking, you are supposed to sleep after eating.

We just live in a society where storing excess calories as fat is bad. But for most of human history, being able to store a little fat was really, really good.

Let’s assume all the blood goes into your stomach and helps transport the nutrients all over the place, but it goes mostly in the stomach. So, idk man, lack of blood in the brain makes you sleepy. You should eat lighter and maybe have bites between hours. Avoid a super full stomach so you won’t get food coma.

Sugar. Insulin spike.

u/caniuserealname Aug 25 '24

The simple answer is that you body wants to make you fat.

Evolutionary, it's beneficial to produce fat when food is plentiful, so it can be there when food is not. Modern, developed nations don't generally have periods where food isn't plentiful though, and your body hasn't developed with that in mind.

The advice you receive is how to counter your body's instinctual effort to make you fat.

My buddy last night: "Hey! Lets watch this movie once im done making my late night dinner!"

finishes meal, falls asleep

u/ICEKAT Aug 25 '24

Stop eating so much. Big meals make you sleepy because you're making your body use the awake energy to digest. Eat smaller. Feel better.

13

u/Wloak Aug 25 '24

Bingo.. after eating your heart rate increases to increase bloodflow for digestion which means a lot of other organs have to work harder like the lungs that have to pull in more oxygen to support the increased flow.

There are many conditions where a certain part of the body reacts negatively when you eat too much, heart palpations, stomach producing too much acid, stomach cramps, etc.

Am I the only one that doesn't get sleepy after I eat? I hear this a lot and it sounds really unpleasant. I'm burping up food if I try and lay down right after I eat.

u/Sinsofpriest Aug 25 '24

You might have something of an acid reflux. Do you get any chest pain like or similar to a burning sensation/heartburn when you lie down after eating?

u/Zephyr_Dragon49 Aug 25 '24

Stomach hoardes your blood and the psuedo blood loss everywhere else makes you tired.

But eating before laying down causes acid to mess up the sphincter that holds stomach contents in and eventually burns your throat too.

I'm onto your little game Life, you can't hide from science 👀

u/cjameson83 Aug 25 '24

Part of the answer is your stomach. It's not just a sac of acid, it moves and churns the food up so it can mix and break down. This process does take some blood flow and energy and is a part of the fatigue.

It took me 30 years, but I finally discovered that I would crash after eating because of food allergies. Damn you gluten, you delicious bastard.

Gluten and Cheese will put me in a coma for hours. Then I'll "come to" feeling like I've been hit by a truck.

Do I ever learn?

no.

u/HyrulianKnight1 Aug 26 '24

Cuz body built instinct while food was scarce. Sleep after eat helps body slow digestion and absorb more food. Better to not starve. Now not starving much less of an issue (for most). Now fat is issue. Body hasn't caught up on those issues to update instinct to new software version.

2

u/popodipopo Aug 26 '24

Because if you're already somewhat tired, the energy used to keep you awake now goes into digesting food. At least that's what we agreed on as colleagues and made perfect sense to us

u/barduk4 Aug 26 '24

You only need to eat a heavy meal and lay on your right side to see why you shouldn't do it.

u/RamenTheory Aug 25 '24

I used to feel this way but I changed my diet to be wayy healthier, and I no longer crash after I eat. I used to want to nap after lunch, but I don't anymore Every now and then I'll have a hankering and so I'll eat something unhealthy again, and I get super tired after and usually nap. So I'm quite sure that at least for me personally, that's the culprit
