    Fun fact: When I briefly worked in a funeral home, I learned that dead people just chilling on a table will sometimes look like they’re breathing. I’m not talking about actual movement, like fluids settling in the body or anything like that. It’s a sort of optical illusion. I guess the brain is used to seeing people breathing so it fills in the blanks. I experienced this illusion myself and so did others working there.

    Or sitting on the couch with a laptop and searching up wikis, Google, fan forums or social media to read about the movie you think you are watching but are actually ruining for yourself because you’re so distracted that you can’t actively read the laptop nor enjoy the movie at the same time … two hours go by and you can’t remember much about the movie or the little bits of information you read the whole time.
