Reading your comment made me yawn
Seems like if you read between the lines, there’s a certain commonality in increased respiration/alertness, stress response and showing of teeth that solves a common need across species. When a subject recognizes a lack of alertness, a present threat or the need for aggressive action in the near future, a yawn can help prepare for that while also giving pause to those who might be threats and/or potentially paralyzing prey. The failure in consensus here appears, to me, an inability to describe those seemingly disparate needs as related to the physiology that drives them. Not a lack of understanding, so much as a deficiency in perlocution.
Ay yo so I was bout to tell you how that’s all wrong, but then you go throwin out words like “perlocution” and now I realize you probly know what the fuck is up, so I’m just gonna trust.
Perchance.
You can’t just say perchance.
I think they just did.
reading the title of this post made me yawn lol
It was the picture for me
It’s such a good self portrait.
welp, i’m glad i wasn’t alone
I used to have a dog that would yawn with a little whine whenever she was frustrated. It was adorable.
That’s pretty common among cats and dogs. Sometimes the clever ones will hide a bite they decided against at the last second with a yawn, too.
Lmao, the guy in the thumbnail painting was a big meme years ago on the internet. Remember that time lol
Joseph Ducreux. He did a load more.
i thought it was to clear out carbon dioxide build up deep in your lungs, and instinctually its an indicator of rest?
LPT: Getting mauled by a kodiak? Try yawning!
Because I’m tired
I yawned as this was scrolling into view wtf
Got me too
I guess it’s just a biological indicator to remind you that you’re tired. In modern life people don’t usually find their jobs exciting. We were hunter and gatherers a few thousand years back and I bet they didn’t yawn as much hunting prey. Maybe when sewing or making clay pots. Of which I am smoking a lot of currently. What were we taking about again?
