Urine contains salt, always, even when in a state of hyponatremia: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/sodium-excretion (scroll down to the kidney disease paper, it wont show any of the text on the direct link, insert obligatory hate on academic publishers)

I hope you don't need a source for distilled water not containing salt or water needing to be excreted or for sweat (the other way water leaves your body) containing salt, I already spent way too much time on this because sourcing on mobile is a pain.

And yes, <10mmol/l isn't a lot. That's <500mg (and how low it can go precisely idk, couldn't find that, but likely much lower, given that the <10mmol figure is a threshold for diagnosis of kidney issues) You replenish that through food, easily (esp these days where sodium intake is, if anything, very high). That's the whole point. Barring very extreme situations, healthy kidneys will regulate your sodium levels just fine.

Yes exactly glad you get it. Some people want to actually understand why something isn't true instead of believing the first source that says so.

Yes that's what I said. But one of the likely reasons the myth stays around is that all of the following is true:

• Excreting water requires electrolytes
• Excreting water will remove those electrolytes from your body
• Drinking significantly more water than you excrete will lead to hyponatremia
• Distilled water has no electrolytes while tap/mineral water does

What the myth ignores is that:

• The amount of electrolytes in water is negligible anyway, so distilled water isn't really worse in that regard and consumption of any normal amounts of distilled water is completely fine
• You can't just drink infinite fluids because you consume infinite electrolytes because your body is more complex than that, so regardless drinking too much of anything will kill you

But saying it doesn't strip you of anything isn't entirely true, and I'm not a fan of misinfo even if it's more of a nitpick. More than that I don't think it's going to help when from my first 4 bullet points you could easily come to the incorrect conclusion that drinking distilled water will quickly lead to hyponatremia.

It's probably also where the osmosis thing further up comes from, since that's involved in causing the neurological symptoms, it's just unrelated to what fluid you consume, since it happens with your blood, not the fluid itself.

You don't fight misconceptions with half-truths.

Edit: when i say fluid i mean something water based ofc, if you drink something else for some reason you'll probably have all sorts of different issues anyway.

It does, for the simple reason that urine (as well as sweat) necessarily contains electrolytes, so you lose those.

The misconception lies in thinking that tap or mineral water somehow don't do this. They contain some electrolytes, but not really a significant amount, as you primarily get them from food.

Not wrong given that browsers aren't easy to maintain, but they couls start by not paying their CEO millions.

Yes. Until they get so extreme they ruin your life. That's the whole thing with disorders. (Almost) everyone has some anxiety. Only some people have it so bad it interferes with daily functioning. Adhd is the same. Everyone procrastinates, forgets stuff, gets distracted. Not everyone is incapable of doing basic shit like taking out trash bags for months.

I would guess that starting the habit is harder wirh adhd. Something doesn't become a habit after just doing it once, you need to do it for a while first. Adhd can make that harder both because you might simply forget and because of executive dysfunction.

I would think that for people without adhd the "forget it once and suddenly it's gone" also applies (seems consistent with my understanding of human memory), but restarting it might be easier so it doesn't feel like it.

It's great in mobas where skills are universally referred to by their default binding on qwerty (since most layouts have qwer on those keys). So sometimes unaware french people talk about their a and z skills and everyone else is just confused

I'm 187cm (like 6'2 or something) and I have this issue. Anything that's not a 4 seater on buses or regional trains will lead to my knees pressing into the seat in front if I don't sit perfectly upright (which isn't a great option for a 90+ minute train ride). Some bus seats have so little leg space that I flat out cannot fit without sitting diagonally (they're actually worse than the last cheap airline I flew with somehow, tho tbf that was like 8 years ago and might be worse now).

When these buses come once every 15 minutes at peak time, it's not even really a capacity issue, frequency could absolutely be higher if desired. Though 4 seaters existing means it's generally fine, and my bus rides generally aren't long enough that I can't just stand instead. Designing a bus with that little leg room without 4 seaters would be a real issue though. Accomodating everyone and efficiency for the average person will always be a balance to strike, but everyone for whom it's feasibly possible should at least have some option to be comfortable on public transport.

I fucking hate being tall.

And I'd bet that a significant portion of that voting block also does not have a favourable view of israel, so uh what? Someone being jewish doesn't mean they automatically agree with israels actions, unlike what israeli propaganda would like you to believe.

But OOP did not say "I don't do things I think I should", they said "I don't do things I want to do". They described the executive dysfunction loop quite well.

Tbh, just because I'm capable of writing well, doesn't mean I always do, especially online. If OOP is an english teacher it's a bit concerning since not making it a run-on sentence would just be better storytelling, but otherwise eh.
