The phrase "my world is brighter with you" is literally true

When you’re looking at someone you really love, your pupils dilate, letting more light into your eyes. That means the world is literally brighter to you.

      If your partner exhibits signs of bioluminescence for more than 4 hours, please seek medical attention.

              Yeah, but has it been 4 hours?

                I had to have my sun surgically removed. It was gangrenous.

                  I’ve been bioluminescent in the IR spectrum for over 3 decades. Fortunately my physician referred me to a physicist about it

                  This happens if you’re attracted to someone in almost any way but especially sexually.

                  So random baddies on the street brighten my world too.

                      Also, humans are very slightly bioluminescent.

                              Sure, anything that’s warmer than absolute zero radiates on the electromagnetic spectrum. The hotter something is the stonger the radiation. Since most living things heat up (some through actual self-heating, others through movement and other processes), pretty much every living thing counts as bioluminescent.

                              Since humans have roughly 37°C core temperature, they mostly glow on the infrared spectrum.

                                              Until that love ends.

                                              And then the world is permanently gray.

                                                  In case that’s about yourself: It’ll get better, all it needs is time. Scar tissue is the most normal thing. You’ve got that 🤜🤛

                                                      It generally takes about half the time you were in a relationship with someone to fully get over them after the relationship ends.

                                                      So don’t end a 60 year relationship ever.

                                                          That sounds very much made up tho

                                                      People also glow, so yes, quite literally.

                                                        A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

                                                        Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

                                                        • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
                                                        • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
                                                        • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

                                                        Rules

                                                        1. All posts must be showerthoughts
                                                        2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
                                                        3. No politics
                                                          • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
                                                          • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
                                                        4. Posts must be original/unique
                                                        5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

                                                        If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

                                                        Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
