Wow I am sure that the virus known to cause "brain fog" had nothing to do with it!

Is it that or is it that we learned to search to find answers more efficiently and with less words?
Efficiently asking stupid questions, faster than ever!
I honestly don't know if this is COVID or microplastics
Or heat, PFAS, stress, microplastics, etc.
It's a shitty wheel of fortune where it's all bankrupt.
As atmospheric CO2 levels increase, indoor CO2 levels increase many times faster.
1000 ppm isn't uncommon, and at those levels we can measure cognitive decline.
I got a co2 reader for measuring covid risk and am constantly shocked at how quickly spaces blast past 1000
Is it possible some of this has to do with climate change? Has our atmospheric condition changed enough to be perceptable as a shift in the Suns light?
The way cameras and all light sensors work depends on the sun's light not really changing. Our definition of pure white light actually is based on the mix of different wavelengths we get from the sun. If the sun's light was changing, you'd see any daylit scenes with some new tint.
Edit: That being said, it is objectively true that atmospheric pollutions affect sunlight. It's a big part of why sunsets look like sunsets. The reason we can dismiss the theory that the sun used to be yellow and it's now white is that our whole notion of white light was always defined by the sun. It's the ISO standard for light and lighting^[https://www.nfi.edu/iso/] ^[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_illuminant#Illuminants_B_and_C].
no
The sun used to be yellow then woke happened and the trans athletes stole the color so now it's white.
Woke made it white? 
I don't get it.
There's a common conspiracy that the colour of the sun was changed by chemtrails from a happy yellow ball you could look at directly to a glaring white
Damn that is really stupid. You can't turn yellow light back into white without adding more light I think. A chemical would only further remove parts of the spectrum.
Teletubbies brain
sometimes the damn sun do be too bright but I just thought idk UV intensity varies with solar activity??
oh?
Okay explain this one to me. Is this because of people looking at the eclipse?
There was (or i guess is?) a trend on the internet of people making videos talking about how the sun isn't the same color as it was during their childhood. The implication being that the government is secretly changing the sun or something idk. It's not big where I'm from, instead people around here make posts about how the fog is different now.
Our perception of colour does change as we age because our eye lenses yellow.
My perception of color is very slightly different in each eye and I never thought to look up why that might be the case, this might explain it
After googling it it's probably just cone cells not having a perfectly uniform distribution, which is a weird and cool thing to think about its effects on perception
Also it's wild how much people's anecdotes lean towards the same "left eye cool right eye warm" layout
Yes, I still remember how vibrant blue the sky used to be and how golden the grass in autumn was.
Oh so that's the reason for eye bleach!
Oh good. I thought it was eye damage but this is much worse
the fog thing sounds like it can be explained by the switch to LED streetlights
this has gotta be one of the dumbest conspiracy theories I've ever heard
@gork is the fog different now?
It depends on where you live.
They're turning the damned fog GAY
they're turning the frogs gay and the fogs gray!
Long COVID causes permanent brain damage.
I am at peace with my brqin damage. It makes me more fun and happy :)
Need
Lucky one! I got the drain bamage that makes me sad. Maybe I need to damage my brian harder until I get happy?
Oh, damn. Are you trying to tell me that the reason I've been slowly getting happier over the last few years is because of COVID/5G-brain-chips/spoon-in-brain-plastic destroying my ability to reason?!?!
Where is the sun's two scoops? Where are the raisins?
Where are its sunglasses?
which scp is this?
