Yawns are contagious!!! Does this make you Yawn?
« on: Sun, 06 April 2014, 03:35:59 »
They say yawns are contagious. If you read, hear or see somebody yawn, you will also yawn.
Does the pic below make you yawn? Yes/No?

this is now officially the kitten yawn thread!

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

First time I saw this thread, I thought to myself "nope" and didn't yawn.

Came back after viewing some more spy posts, and yawned. $@#!. Why am I browsing GH at 2am?  :p

For some reason it makes me really want to yawn when I see it, but don't feel like I have to yawn at all. I didn't yawn, but my brain is just telling me "come on man do it", as opposed to when a person actually yawns near me and I I feel like I have to yawn.

I can understand this feeling but I guess this is because you are consciously controlling yourself!!!

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Yep, it did - but then again it's 01:21 am.

If I yawn in front of my cat while she is sitting around, she will often yawn back.

No, but it is a real thing. Interesting research around it.

It's somehow correlated with the sound, and also the visuals of the mouth in specific.
