The damage and lack of sleep build up (debt) Once the body is finished with the cycles, that’s it. It can’t store sleep to repair future damage and build future neural pathways.

You can store up a very limited sleep surplus : it’s called “ prophylactic napping”. It’s essentially done right before an all-nighter. The benefit disappear if you wait. Also it will cover for one night at best. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1947593/\n\nB: Since its winter and I am thinking about snow, another Explain like I'm five years old comparison is how we get rid of the snow. If we don't plow or anything the snow can build up to many feet high, but we can't plow in advance. The road can only be clear at best, but snow can keep building up. Sleep is the body doing a kind of maintenance, it can only get the body to a clear and ready state.

I am really not sure that Mandarin and Cantonese are considered dialects. Yes, a lot of people in the west would refer to a person as 'speaking chineese', but wouldn't think of mandarin and cantoneese as the same language, rather were just being imprecise with their word choice earlier.\n\nB: I speak Cantonese and I’d argue that despite sharing a common written system, Cantonese and Mandarin are two separate languages, not dialects. Sure, if I listen carefully I can pick up a Mandarin word here and there but the two are basically mutually unintelligible. There are many, many variants of both languages throughout the region, and I’d say that those variants are the actual dialects. From another perspective, many people tend to class Mandarin as a language and Cantonese as a dialect. Cantonese is actually far closer to Middle Chinese than Mandarin is - so perhaps it’s the other way around.\n\nPlease respond with only A or B.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "B", "role": "assistant" } ]

They are in fact “languages”— this is the finding from people who study languages for a living. People speaking Mandarin and Cantonese or other Chinese languages to each other can not understand one another. They all use Chinese characters to write, but consider how many people speaking different languages that all use the ABCs to write. Some languages don’t have writing systems at all!

Another way that dead bacteria are a problem is when you treat tuberculosis. Live tuberculosis bacteria hide from the immune system, but dead ones don't hide well, and their insides are poisonous as well, so you start to feel really bad before feeling better.\n\nB: Nowhere.

Like toxins. See, milk for example. Heat treatment of fresh milk is a great idea because it kills a lot of bad guys. However if those bad guys have been hanging out for a while, they may have produced a lot of stuff that can also give you a bout of diarrhea. This is especialy problematic in countries where cows get milked in one place, and then a non-refrigerated truck takes the milk to a cheese producer 100km away. People not used to eating said cheese, will probably get the runs because their immune systems can't handle it. This is why if food has been sitting around for a long time out of the fridge, it's probably not such a great idea to microwave or boiling it, thinking that if you just kill the bacteria on that 2 day old piece of pizza you found on next to the blender you'd be ok eating it. Stay safe!\n\nB: Great responses already, but also consider pasteurization of milk. Same thing happens. Bacteria die, but the remains float around in your milk. It is speculated that this is why some people have adverse reactions to milk like producing extra phlegm (not lactose intolerance). Lactose intolerance is something completely different. There is a strange new surge of people drinking \"raw milk\" which is unpasteurized but milked from grass fed cows that are relatively clean.

So your body becomes used to a very small temperature range and you really notice it when it drifts outside of that small range. This awareness of change gets boosted by your home being your almost-entirely-controllable \"area of comfort\" where you learn to expect a lot of control over the temperature you're in. When you go outside, often you have a lot more clothes on and are moving around in a much more active way, and the temperature has a tendency to shift up and down. So between the extra insulation you're wearing that protects you from temperature change, the \"wind chill factor\" that contributes to robbing your body of heat or adding more heat to it when it's really hot out, and your own activity level generating and removing heat from your body, you don't really notice a few degrees of change as much. And because it's not entirely under your control, you get used to not really controlling it and so become a little less aware of how it changes.\n\nPlease respond with only A or B.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "A", "role": "assistant" } ]

How is this possible? Seriously.... wouldn't this take an enormous amount of power? Half the time I can't get a decent cell phone signal and these guys are communicating on an Interstellar level. How is this done?\n\nA: There isn't very much in the way of it, since it is mostly empty space between there and here. There is a high latency, of course. Your phone signal can't work with high latency since it is designed for quick communications, and it is prone to errors caused by other nearby signals.\n\nB: >I can't get a decent cell phone signal and these guys are communicating on an Interstellar level. Mobile phones work off UHF (Ultra High Frequency), so the range is very short. There are usually signal repeaters across a country, so it gives the impression mobiles work everywhere. >wouldn't this take an enormous amount of power So, not really, as long as there is *nothing* between Voyager and the receiving antenna (usually very large). As long as the signal is stronger than the cosmic background, you'll pick it up if the antenna is sensitive enough. So the Explain like I'm five years old version of this would be : - Listening to a mouse in a crowded street. Versus - In an empty and noise-less room, you are staring at the mouse's direction, , holding your breath, and listening for it. EDIT: did not expect this to get so up voted. So, a lot of people have mentioned attenuation (signal degradation) as well as background cosmic waves. The waves would very much weaken, but it can travel a long wave before its degrades to a unreadable state. Voyager being able to recieve a signal so far out is proof that's its possible. Im sure someone who has a background in radiowaves will come along and explain (I'm only a small-time pilot, so my knowledge of waves is limited to terrestrial navigation). As to cosmic background radiation, credit to lazydog at the bottom of the page, I'll repost his comment >Basically, it's like this: we take two giant receiver antennas.

The signals Voyager transmits are really weak when they get here, and there's a lot of noise in the electromagnetic spectrum, so the signals are way weaker than the noise. \"But wait\" you might say, \"if the signals are weaker than the noise, how can we hear them?\" It's a challenge comparable to hearing your friend whispering from across a room full of people talking. We came up with a really clever way to hear them, though. > Basically, it's like this: we take two giant receiver antennas. We point one directly at Voyager, and one just a fraction of a degree off. Both receivers get all of the noise from that area of the sky, but only the first gets Voyager's signal as well. If you subtract the noise signal from the noise + Voyager signal, what you've got left is just the Voyager signal. This methodology is combined with a lot of fancy error correction coding to eliminate reception errors, and the net effect is the pinnacle of communications technology: the ability to communicate with a tiny craft billions of miles away.\n\nB: Scientific systems engineer here... It's not about the amount of power needed to generate and broadcast the signal from the instrument, it's about the massive infrastructure needed to *hear* it. As such, NASA has built a massive ground system called Deep Space Network that's designed specifically to communicate with interplanetary spacecraft. Three ground stations in Australia, Spain and California coordinate their huge arrays of dishes (dozens at each site, each one with its own 70m dish) to send and receive signals to basically all of the exploratory research instruments in the solar system. In the case of Voyager, it takes something like 30 hours just to get a signal there and 30 hours to get it back, but as long as it's RTG can create enough energy to power it's high gain antenna, we'll still be able to talk to it.\n\nPlease respond with only A or B.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "A", "role": "assistant" } ]

You know how your legs get wobbly after doing a bunch of squats? Your breathing muscles get wobbly after being worked hard too.\n\nB: I haven't done the \"internet research\" on this one but just based on observation it may be diaphragmatic in nature. The nature of those \"hiccups\" may be phrenic nerve overactivity through excessive crying. Oxygen levels/anxiety have too many inconsistencies to be wholly correct. For staters, a baby is more likely to just go blue if he/she has widespread hypoxia. Cerebral hypoxia may lead to a reduction in level of consciousness. Anxiety also seems inconsistent in that those\"hiccups\" may persist despite the subject ceasing crying. Other random observations that would support a diaphragmatic nature/spasms to the \"hiccups\" -Excessive crying is essentially prolonged periods of forced exhalations which naturally requires the diaphragm to contact for long periods of time - could explain spasms of a muscle after prolonged use -Methods to alleviate the \"post crying hiccups\" are oddly quite similar to alleviating \"normal\" hiccups: valsalva manoeuvre, etc...

This died out after a while and in the 11th century, the Norman (French) scribes reintroduced the \"uu\" digraph as a single, though jointed instead of curved, character, the \"w.\" Source: http://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2011/04/double-u.html\n\nB: Originally, U and V were just different ways of writing the same letter, a bit like a and 𝒶.

So we will ignore the fact that the atmosphere bounces light around and traps heat. And we will ignore how heat actually works for this explanation. Let's go; light is energy. It's also made up of loads of colour. Light hits your skin, and depending on the tone of your skin, a lot of thos colours get reflected. The ones that don't, are absorbed, and the light turns from light energy, into kinetic energy. This means that the stuff that makes you up, starts to vibrate very quickly causing 'warmth'. Genuinely serious note, people with darker skin get hotter than people with light skin. People who have tattoos getter hotter on the tattoos than the rest of their skin. This is because more light is absorbed than is reflected. When a cloud comes over, it does two things. Scatters light (because its made of water vapour) and reflects light (because of its colour) this means that less light hits you, which means the atoms in your body don't vibrate as much. Less 'warmth'.\n\nB: energy is what you feel as warmth. Energy is absorbed by stuff.. Clouds are stuff.

What is happening and why?\n\nA: Humans are actually ~~very~~ somewhat unique in that they get bored at all. Look at lots of animals (especially cold blooded animals like others have said here) and you'll see that they often spend a lot of time sleeping or just idly resting. I mean you can see that on any zoo trip. They have evolved so that they don't need to be doing stuff all the time to survive, so why waste the energy? As long as you can accomplish what you need to do to survive and reproduce, you've got your food, water, shelter, and territory... you're good. Humans are interesting in that we've developed very complex brains and behaviors to survive, AND since we've been so successful survival-wise, we have a lot of surplus energy to burn. We're omnivores that are extremely adaptable, so to aid our survival, behaviors like exploring, keeping up with social bonds (and all the complex tasks and behaviors we do for that, like playing games and navigating social rules), hunting, gathering, farming, building, inventing tools, etc etc etc... all of those things had a purpose for us, so there was incentive for our brains to be thinking about doing stuff all the time and feeling a sense of reward for accomplishing those things. Since we established more organized societies and agriculture, food is usually in ready supply, so it's okay to even \"waste\" that brain power on stuff like entertainment, science, philosophy, arts, whatever - which all has social benefits or benefit society in the long-term even if they don't have immediate survival benefits - or in the case of entertainment, because we're wired to feel rewarded for doing stuff. TLDR If we were lizards, we probably wouldn't find playing video games very rewarding because its a waste of time and energy. As humans we have the energy to burn and social/societal benefits for doing stuff all the time, so we get bored because we have the energy to be doing something rewarding. Edit to address the replies: yes, other animals get bored too, it's just something humans experience at a greater scale and we do more complicated stuff to entertain ourselves. Also, yes, humans do need time to do nothing as well - we're not wired to spend 100% of our time doing stuff. It's in fact very healthy to take time just to do nothing. Rest and mindfulness will do wonders for your mental health - we just live in a high-stimulation and productivity-obsessed society, so it can be hard sometimes. ​ Edit 2: to those getting pedantic in the replies about my first couple of sentences: this is Explain like I'm five years old. It's an oversimplification.\n\nB: If you watch the TV show Alone where they have to survive with minimal food (what they find/kill) one of the most important skills is to do literally nothing and not go insane. It conserves calories. If they had a book or TV I'm sure they'd go for those, but they don't so they just half nap do nothing. Even 200 years ago (and many people today) humans spent vast amounts of time doing nothing. Things like farming were seasonal and required intense work at times and no work at others. When there was nothing to do, people often did nothing. I was in rural Dominica and encountered a gent with no TV and I doubt he could read. He had a tiny little house and grew his own food. He'd usually be sitting outside doing absolutely nothing. You often hear Europeans meeting indigenous people going on about how lazy/idle they were. It wasn't because they were slackers, there was just nothing that needed to be done and doing other stuff was a waste of energy.\n\nPlease respond with only A or B.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "B", "role": "assistant" } ]

What is happening and why?\n\nA: Doing things consumes energy. Imagine if you drove your car around all day every day; you'd need to put a **ton** of fuel in there to keep it going. Same thing for living creatures. Creatures that are highly active (birds, rodents, etc.) eat an absolutely massive amount of food compared to their size. Some birds eat double their own body weight in food every day. Imagine a 150 pound human eating 300 pounds of food every day. That's the price for moving around a lot. So some animals go the opposite route. Move very little, eat very little. This works especially well for ambush predators like spiders. Make the web and then just wait. No use in burning excess energy. When something lands in the web, go eat it and wait some more.\n\nB: If you watch the TV show Alone where they have to survive with minimal food (what they find/kill) one of the most important skills is to do literally nothing and not go insane.

When there was nothing to do, people often did nothing. I was in rural Dominica and encountered a gent with no TV and I doubt he could read. He had a tiny little house and grew his own food. He'd usually be sitting outside doing absolutely nothing. You often hear Europeans meeting indigenous people going on about how lazy/idle they were. It wasn't because they were slackers, there was just nothing that needed to be done and doing other stuff was a waste of energy.\n\nPlease respond with only A or B.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "B", "role": "assistant" } ]

What is happening and why?\n\nA: Humans are actually ~~very~~ somewhat unique in that they get bored at all. Look at lots of animals (especially cold blooded animals like others have said here) and you'll see that they often spend a lot of time sleeping or just idly resting. I mean you can see that on any zoo trip. They have evolved so that they don't need to be doing stuff all the time to survive, so why waste the energy? As long as you can accomplish what you need to do to survive and reproduce, you've got your food, water, shelter, and territory... you're good. Humans are interesting in that we've developed very complex brains and behaviors to survive, AND since we've been so successful survival-wise, we have a lot of surplus energy to burn. We're omnivores that are extremely adaptable, so to aid our survival, behaviors like exploring, keeping up with social bonds (and all the complex tasks and behaviors we do for that, like playing games and navigating social rules), hunting, gathering, farming, building, inventing tools, etc etc etc... all of those things had a purpose for us, so there was incentive for our brains to be thinking about doing stuff all the time and feeling a sense of reward for accomplishing those things. Since we established more organized societies and agriculture, food is usually in ready supply, so it's okay to even \"waste\" that brain power on stuff like entertainment, science, philosophy, arts, whatever - which all has social benefits or benefit society in the long-term even if they don't have immediate survival benefits - or in the case of entertainment, because we're wired to feel rewarded for doing stuff. TLDR If we were lizards, we probably wouldn't find playing video games very rewarding because its a waste of time and energy. As humans we have the energy to burn and social/societal benefits for doing stuff all the time, so we get bored because we have the energy to be doing something rewarding. Edit to address the replies: yes, other animals get bored too, it's just something humans experience at a greater scale and we do more complicated stuff to entertain ourselves. Also, yes, humans do need time to do nothing as well - we're not wired to spend 100% of our time doing stuff. It's in fact very healthy to take time just to do nothing. Rest and mindfulness will do wonders for your mental health - we just live in a high-stimulation and productivity-obsessed society, so it can be hard sometimes. ​ Edit 2: to those getting pedantic in the replies about my first couple of sentences: this is Explain like I'm five years old. It's an oversimplification.\n\nB: Doing things consumes energy. Imagine if you drove your car around all day every day; you'd need to put a **ton** of fuel in there to keep it going. Same thing for living creatures. Creatures that are highly active (birds, rodents, etc.) eat an absolutely massive amount of food compared to their size. Some birds eat double their own body weight in food every day. Imagine a 150 pound human eating 300 pounds of food every day. That's the price for moving around a lot. So some animals go the opposite route. Move very little, eat very little. This works especially well for ambush predators like spiders. Make the web and then just wait. No use in burning excess energy. When something lands in the web, go eat it and wait some more.\n\nPlease respond with either A or B.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "A", "role": "assistant" } ]

The reason cellphone batteries weaken overtime is just wear and tear at the atomic level.

Things that accelerate this wearing of cells are things like: * Letting the lithium battery fully drain before charging * Constantly charging to 100% * Excess heat builup * Freezing cold temperatures. The above puts extra strain on the cells and makes them degrade faster. If you avoid these things the cells will still degrade from everyday charging, but not nearly as fast. You also have to consider the phone is doing more work overtime as things update. As software/apps update they become more power/resource hungry. Your phone is going to drain the battery faster as it uses more processing power to handle the new software giving the illusion that your battery is going bad. Same idea as your computer is slowing down after a couple of years. It's the same speed, the games are just more demanding. Comparing this to a portable house phone isn't really accurate. Your house phone most likely has the same problem with a worn out battery, You just don't use it for hours on end.

(Battery loss of runtime will get worse each day) Most household phones are Ni-MH chemistry which is much lower energy density (heavier and less sexy) but handles high state of charge much better. They used to put Ni-MH in cell phones in the mid-to-late 90s, they were big, bulky, and didn't have a lot of talk time. Li-ion was better in every way for cell phones. For household phones this isn't really a problem, and Ni-MH is much cheaper to implement, plus they are more easily customer replaceable (they don’t catch on fire, and are widely available) You can get a much longer lifetime out of lithium-ion batteries by implementing lower maximum voltage, for example 4.1V max charging voltage instead of 4.2V.

Your task is to determine which comment is more favored by humans based on the following criteria:\n\n Relevance to the Post\n Clarity and Coherence\n Depth and Thoughtfulness\n Positive Tone and Respectful Language\n Correctness and Accuracy\n Natural Language and Tone\n Conciseness\n\nAfter considering the given information, please indicate which comment is preferred: A or B?\nReddit post: Explain like I'm five years old: Why do some letters have a completely different character when written in uppercase (A/a, R/r, E/e, etc), whereas others simply have a larger version of themselves (S/s, P/p, W/w, etc)?\n\nA: First of all, let's talk about the words 'uppercase' and 'lowercase'. These words come from the early history of printing, when a person called a *typesetter* would assemble each page of a book letter by letter. Each letter was a profile on a piece of lead, called a *sort*. The sorts were kept in boxes called *typecases*, which had compartments for each letter. There would be a typecase for each *font* (also called a *fount*), which was a *typeface* at a specific size, at a specific weight (bold, medium, *etc.*), in a specific shape (upright, italic, *etc.*). A typeface is what we nowadays call a font on computers. There were actually two typecases for each font, and they were kept one on top of the other. The one on top was called the *upper case*, and contained the 'majuscule' letters; the one on the bottom was called the *lower case*, and contained the 'minuscule' letters. So the proper names for 'uppercase' and 'lowercase' are 'majuscule' and 'minuscule', respectively. Now, on to your actual question. Letters are just simple drawings that have phonetic meanings. (In other words, the symbols represent sounds.) The nature of the symbols is affected by the thing the symbols are written on. For example, one of the earliest writing symbols we have is cuneiform, which was written by making marks with a stylus in a piece of clay. The shape of cuneiform marks is strongly determined by the shape of the stylus. This is important, because the majuscules and minuscules were originally two forms of the Latin alphabet that were used for writing on different materials, and the same thing applies to the Greek alphabet. Majuscule letters were originally *inscriptional*, which means they were carved into stone. The Roman emperor Trajan had his military victories depicted on a carved stone column called Trajan's column; at the base of this column is some writing, in the style of Roman square capitals: this style is common on Roman monuments, but Trajan's column is one of the best known examples. These letters were designed by a scribe painting them on to the stone with a brush; a stonemason would then carve out the painted areas. The motion of the brush created little flairs at the beginning at end of each brush stroke; these flairs are now known as *serifs*. However, Romans writing out documents would use Roman cursive. Roman cursive, like all cursive writing forms, is basically a bunch of shortcuts in writing the 'proper' letters. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Roman culture continued to hold considerable sway amongst the barbarians. The same writing styles were preserved, until the Carolingian Renaissance under Charlemagne (Charles the Great) in the Frankish Empire (now France) in the 800s. Charlemagne was a great believer in literacy, and despite never learning to read himself, ordered the creation of a single style of handwriting to be used across his empire, to prevent documents from being misinterpreted. The end result was a pairing of these two writing styles into the majuscule and minuscule letters of a unified alphabet. The minuscule letters, being easier to write quickly, were use normally, but the majuscule letters, with their grand and elegant forms, were used for proper nouns and emphasis. Over the succeeding thousand years, different nations would slowly adapt these letter forms and the relationships between them to their needs: the Italians developed the Humanist minuscule, which later became the italic script; the Germanic peoples developed the blackletter scripts; the Irish developed the insular script. This development continues today, with hundreds of typefaces released each year by type designers.\n\nB: TL; DR At first it was only cursive for paper and big uppercase for sculptures/incisions. Lowercase was created when printing was invented, since printing cursive was impossible but uppercase and lowercase letters still needed to exist. Therefore changes were mode for clarity, as an r done like an R probably would've not looked right The names uppercase and lowercase exist because the stamps for those respective letters were stored on the upper case or on the lower case\n\nPlease respond with either A or B.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "A", "role": "assistant" } ]

So these scribes (some of them were monks) discovered that instead of raising the pen from the paper over and over again to write a new, separated letter, it was easier and faster to keep a continuous line that flows tying one letter to the next. This system, called cursive, works great for some of the Latin letters, but not for most of them which had to be adapted. This is why A, B, E F, G, H, I, L, M, N, Q, R and sometimes S look very different in cursive from their uppercase versions. This cursive system was later adapted by printers as the lowercase fonts. https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/0\\*MFO50X8qweD9ELta.png\n\nB: TL; DR At first it was only cursive for paper and big uppercase for sculptures/incisions.

This is done specifically to avoid the echo effect in their ear that happens due to phone / satellite / net delay getting the signal to their ear. A separate mix-minus needs to be created for each remote guest so that they can all hear each other but not themselves. If you ever see a guest on a show rip their earpiece out in the middle of their hit, it is most likely because the audio engineer sent them the wrong mix-minus and they are hearing themselves on a delay. In a show with many remote guests, its easy to cross up which line is going to which guest. It is also usually a VERY simple fix for the engineer and SHOULD be caught before the guest goes on-air. If the producers are competent, they try to get their guests set up in the commercial break and do a comms check to make sure everybody can talk and hear each other correctly. Sometimes guests sit down seconds to their air time and you've just gotta wing it. The anchors in the studio typically hear the entire mix because the proximity to the audio gear allows for near zero delay/latency for them. EDIT: just realized this doesn't really answer the question posed originally about WHY hearing the echo messes with your ability to talk and think. This was more an interesting side note to it.

The reason for the recent shortage is governments stopped supporting the sequestering of helium which is extremely expensive. So now if a company wants to sequester helium and purify it to be a usable grade in machines such as an MRI it takes a lot and I mean a lot more money. So currently there are just not enough companies willing to produce high quality helium. It's not like MRIs and balloons are competing for the same thing. Edit: MRI machines and other medical/important devices get first dibs on the helium as well so the shortage really affects chemist who need it for spectroscopy plus a bunch of other experiments and apparently scuba divers\n\nB: I was at an aeronautics conference recently and there was a lot of talk about helium airships. The question of helium came up, and nobody seemed worried. Even if helium airships become the norm, we have enough helium in readily available states worldwide to last until at least 2100. Helium is a by product of mining natural gas, but because we have so much of it right now it's not worth storing. When we start running out (which, again, is a long time from now), we will begin mining it again. Yes, there's a limited supply on earth, but that limit is far far away. We'll be exploring space by the time we run out of helium, and there's plenty of helium in space. **Edit**: Just to be clear, the 2100 estimate is for our *current* supply. That is, assuming we cease all extraction efforts. There is still way more helium in the earth than we have ever touched in the history of mankind. There are also many more deposits. **We are not going to run out in 2100.** **Edit**^(2): Some articles.

Where does the body get this energy from? Is caffeine forcing the body to use stored fat?\n\nA: Caffeine doesn't actually give you a burst of energy - it just feels like it does because it prevents the feeling of being tired. Caffeine binds to the same place in your brain that adenosine molecules would. Adenosine is what tells your brain \"okay, time to start feeling sleepy\". Adenosine can't bind to those receptors now and so your brain isn't getting the \"its bed time now\" signals. The extra adenosine in your bloodstream (since it's not binding to anything now) also may trigger your adrenal system to release more adrenaline. It also affects the dopamine system in the brain, which is what produces the hormone that makes you happy/feel good.\n\nB: Caffeine works in two ways to make you feel that way. First it prevents the brain from telling you that you are tired. You can think of your brain as a bunch of locked boxes with different things inside of them. Some of these boxes have things that make you happy, others make you sad. Some have things that tell you it is time to go to sleep. Caffeine jams itself into the lock on the sleepy time box so that your brain can't open it. That keeps you from feeling tired. Caffeine also can help open the box that tells your body to go into extra energy mode. Things like your heart can work faster or slower depending on what you need. If you are sitting on the couch watching TV it's going to go slower, if you are outside working it's going to speed up. Caffeine tricks the body into thinking it needs to go into extra energy mode. Caffine doesn't create this energy, the body is just using what it has stored more quickly. Not really any different from you step on the gas in a car.

Where does the body get this energy from? Is caffeine forcing the body to use stored fat?\n\nA: Caffeine works in two ways to make you feel that way. First it prevents the brain from telling you that you are tired. You can think of your brain as a bunch of locked boxes with different things inside of them. Some of these boxes have things that make you happy, others make you sad. Some have things that tell you it is time to go to sleep. Caffeine jams itself into the lock on the sleepy time box so that your brain can't open it. That keeps you from feeling tired. Caffeine also can help open the box that tells your body to go into extra energy mode. Things like your heart can work faster or slower depending on what you need. If you are sitting on the couch watching TV it's going to go slower, if you are outside working it's going to speed up. Caffeine tricks the body into thinking it needs to go into extra energy mode. Caffine doesn't create this energy, the body is just using what it has stored more quickly. Not really any different from you step on the gas in a car. You are telling it to burn more fuel and go faster.\n\nB: Explain like I'm five years old answer: ​ Caffeine is a drug, and like most drugs the part of your body it affects is your brain.

High blood sugar can cause you to feel sick/nauseated. The blood sugar was meant to give a person the energy to run or fight and brain fuel to think quickly or focus.\n\nB: The limbic system is responsible for this feeling! The limbic system is the emotion and memory part of your brain, and is hugely important for how you experience and perceive things. The limbic system has a direct impact on the autonomic nervous system. If you perceive that you're in a calm situation, your limbic system will impact the rest of your brain, and thus the rest of your body, to make your body act as if it's in a calm situation. The hypothalamus is also part of the limbic system and plays a role in your body maintaining chemical balances. It is also a reason why you feel physically ill. To give a little bit more detail on a few things: The sympathetic portion of the autonomic nervous system is the the part of your body that makes your heart beat faster, makes you breathe faster, makes your pupils dilate, makes you sweat, and makes you stop digesting food (your blood is diverted to your muscles so you can run if needed). It is the fight of flight response in your body and has a cascade effect on the rest of your body. If your limbic system is going crazy with emotional trauma, it'll make your sympathetic nervous system ramp up as well. If you just ate and your body all of the sudden stops digesting food, you may throw up. The limbic system (emotion and memory area of the brain) also directly impacts almost every other part of your brain. The limbic system is smack dab in the center of your brain, thus connects to everything. This is why being in a really intense situation can change how you feel physically and how you even perceive (time slowing down) a situation. One of the important parts of the limbic system is the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus plays a huge role in maintaining your body's \"natural state\". If you need food, your hypothalamus is the part that makes you feel hungry. The hypothalamus is part of the limbic system, so it is under these same controls of emotion. Under a really stressful situation, your hypothalamus will react with the release of cortisol, which will affect your blood sugar and can make you feel sick. Now, all of this kind of paints the limbic system as the bad guy, but that's not really true. The limbic system is also what integrates emotion into what we experience when something is positive. It's why your mom's cooking tastes better if you have fond memories of her. It's what makes your heart flutter when you're in love. It's what makes you remember things. Heck, it is even the reason why a truck horn can go off in the dead of night and you won't wake up, but when someone whispers your name you will.

There are a collection of enzymes in your liver (enzymes are kind of like fuel that powers the inactivation process) that modify medications so that they are inactivated. These enzymes can be turned up by some substances and can be turned down by others. Grapefruit is one of the substances that turns the enzymes down. So your body can’t clear medications as quickly -> you grt higher levels of medications in your body -> toxicity can occur. Source: final year med student\n\nB: When you ingest a medication it has to be broken down. Your liver has enzymes to do that, called cytochrome P450 (CYP450). There’s different types CYP450, but the most common one that break down a lot of medications (but not “every prescription in existence” though) is called CYP3A4. Grapefruit, in very large quantities, inhibits CYP3A4 from doing its job. Medications that need CYP3A4 to be metabolized and broken down will now stay in your system, build up and potentially increase the risk of toxicity/adverse effects.\n\nPlease respond with either A or B.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "B", "role": "assistant" } ]

If someone abuses alcohol over a long period of time, their brain will adapt and create more and more sensitive reactive chemicals to try to retain normal brain function even in the presence of alcohol. This is called tolerance. If the person were to suddenly quit drinking, the alcohol that was inhibiting brain reactions is no longer present, but the overly reactive chemicals are still there, meaning the brain is way more active than its supposed to be. This is a seizure. Think overloading a circuit with too much electricity - it burns out and misfires. Tl:Dr: Brain becomes tolerant to alcohol and short-circuits in its absence.\n\nB: Imagine you are always driving your car with the parking brake on. The parking brake depresses (lowers) your speed. You adapt by pressing harder on the gas. One day you take the parking brake off, and because you're still pressing hard on the gas you lose control and speed into a brick wall. Similarly, the brain adapts to alcohol (the parking brake) by removing some portions of the overall braking system (inhibitory GABA receptors) to compensate. When the alcohol is suddenly removed, the usual GABA brakes are so sparse that the brain speeds out of control into a seizure. EDIT: While seizures are the most common serious complication of alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) and can be fatal, most AWS-related deaths are not caused by seizures. The \"speeding\" of the parts of the brain that control heart rate, blood pressure, and contractility (force of heartbeats) can trigger fatal cardiac events, especially in patients with certain risk factors.

So their bodies regulatory systems (hormones, etc), have adapted/recalibrated to operating in a high alcohol environment, all the time. It has taken years for the body to find a new regulatory balance that keeps everything running while still sauced up. Taking the alcohol away upsets the regulatory balance all at once and the body may not be able to adapt fast enough. Analogy incoming: you are outside and it is 72F out. So you are comfortable in a shirt and slacks. The next day it is 71 out, a little cooler, but you’re ok. A couple days later it drops to 70 so you throw a light jacket on top of the shirt. A couple days later the temperate drops to 69 so throw on a second pair of socks. As the temperature drops, you just keep throwing on more layers, one at a time. So eventually the temperature has dropped down to 0F, but you’re mostly comfortable due to all the layers you’ve thrown on, a little rolly polly, but upright. Then suddenly the temperature outside jumps back up to 72 overnight and you wake up overheating and sweating. And to compensate you have to take all those layers off, one at a time. And that takes time. So it becomes a race between you dying off overheating versus stripping to your skivvies fast enough. That is the kind of compensation the bodies regulatory system is going through when someone goes cold turkey after they have become addicted to a drug. edit - correcting my temperatures slightly so I don't drop from 70 to 70.\n\nPlease respond with only A or B.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "A", "role": "assistant" } ]

That is heart failure.\n\nB: AFAIK, exercise leads to increased oxygen demand in your muscles, and can induce a relative lack of oxygen. The body will adapt: it will grow more small blood vessels to the muscles for oxygen delivery, it will increase your body's capacity of taking up oxygen, it will increase the effectiveness of oxygen use in the muscle by increasing the number of mitochondria in muscle cells, it will increase the number of muscle fibers, etc... Drugs like the ones you mentioned will likely stress the heart to some extent, similar to exercise, but will probably not lead to this degree of physical adaptation. In addition, chronic stress or cocaine use, for example, can lead to hypertension, which will lead to damage of the blood vessels, which could lead to stroke, heart attack, peripheral artery disease, renal disease, etc...\n\nPlease respond with only A or B.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "A", "role": "assistant" } ]

What is the difference between these kinds of cardiac strain?\n\nA: Stress, caffeine and nicotine basically cause your heart to work harder, but without the rest of the body helping it. YOu can imagine your body like a car: you started it with a cold engine and floored the accelerator while standing still. The oil pump barely works yet, there isn't enough cooling, and the turbocharger can't collect as much air: just the pistons working very hard. While exercising, it is a car to be operated as it is designed: getting enough air to cool itself, the oil pump making sure everything is well lubricated, and the engine gets enough air so it can fully burn the gasoline. Everything working in tandem. Same with your body. When you exercise, hormones flood your blood, making sure to get enough oxygen, your storage releases sugar to help your heart and muscles get enough energy. The blood flow speeds up, and your kidneys and livers switch to a higher gear to filter out waste. Your lungs are expanding, making sure the generated extra CO2 can leave the blood. Muscles in your body works in tandem with your heart helping to pump blood around your body. Our body is evolved for this. The whole system is built around to move and excercise (to escape, fight and hunt, but still) Stress and chemicals only works your heart which is not really designed to handle this kind of pressure alone.\n\nB: Exercise is like stretching a balloon prior to blowing into it.

What is the difference between these kinds of cardiac strain?\n\nA: Theres many ways you can strain your heart: - natural exercise. Exercises usually start from something easy and stretches. For example a lot of people i know walk on the spot for a moment. This causes your heart to gradually increase its rate, and the rest of the body also adapts. Most notable immediate effect: your blood vessels increase a bit in diameter to allow more bloodflow. Doing this over and over with spaces in between makes it clear for your body it needs to buildup muscles, and so your heart gradually grows stronger (along with the other muscles ofc) - immediate stress. I cant think of a better term rn. What i mean for example is panic. Things like this have the same effect on your heartrate, but you didnt have that warmup face, so your heart pumps harder but the arteries didnt adept yet. This usually isnt too big of a problem, since its only a temporary situation, but can cause heart failure. - drugs: im not sure about nicotine and caffeine in particular, but the problem is usually that they increase the heartrate while at the same time decreasing the diameter of the blood vessels, causing an increase in blood pressure and strains your heart. The heart didnt have any time to adapt to the new stress, and if you have a particularly weak heart it could fail from the pressure\n\nB: Exercise is like stretching a balloon prior to blowing into it.
