So this happened last night and I genuinely can’t stop thinking about it. We’re all just hanging out, and somehow the topic of breathing comes up.
Friend A says automatic breathing is objectively superior you don’t have to think about it, it just happens, it’s the most efficient system imaginable. Friend B fires back that manual breathing gives you control. You can pace yourself, deepen it, regulate it on command. Why would you ever give that up?
It escalated FAST. Friend A called manual breathing “a full-time job with no pay.” Friend B said automatic breathing is “letting your body run on autopilot like a NPC.” At one point someone said “you’re literally breathing manually right now just because I mentioned it” and the whole room went quiet because everyone suddenly became aware of their own breathing.
They’re still not speaking to each other.
What do you think? automatic? or manual breathing? are you breathing manually right now because you read this?

The amount of people thinking this is genuine makes me feel the need to say this is obviously a bit.
(This is not a judgment, I’m trying to help)
You ought to just make doing this your full-time job on my beloved Hexbear.net
I have actually considered how i could offer my services to those with problems deciphering sarcasm/facetiousness. My wife and i are the apotheosis of the ADHD + Autism couple and i find myself tasked with translating texts and emails for her.
I have a really hard time with structure and she is perfect for me in that way.
If this is true (and I’m not wholly convinced it is), then I change my comment to “c/badposting is leaking again, please go back there so I don’t have to see this”.
Actually let’s just send this post to c/badposting either way.
and I’m not wholly convinced it is
Consider a person saying that breathing automatically makes you an NPC and that they are 100% genuine. Even if i were to humor the idea that the conversation happened I truly think it would have been entirely tongue-in-cheek
Maybe. Maybe.
I’m on team auto because I can’t manually breathe while unconscious and I like sleeping
Manual. I don’t want people knowing I’m breathing. Now I have the tactical advantage by choosing every breath. Whether to share it with them, or perhaps through karate take it from them.
I use a secret third thing.
It’s the ass thing, isn’t it?
meditation and mindfulness exercises are basically manual breathing. would recommend learning manual so you can operate your equipment effectively under more circumstances.
manual or automatic
Mechanical.
I refuse to believe people are seriously talking about this subject…I think you kinda need better friends, sorry. They literally aren’t speaking? They need to do better, this is shite.
And I thought our struggle sessions were silly lmao
They both have their place and are superior in different contexts. Bada bing baby.
This is dialects.
Can’t sleep without the one can’t swim without the other.
Fully-automatic heartbeating will kill me one day. Manual breathing is the only control I have over the heartbeat - so I’m not giving that up.
Well you’re dead unless you have auto, so regardless that kinda tilts the scales a bit for me.
manual is tough, because sometimes on a hill you slide backwards and that can be stressful in traffic
Discussing it like both aren’t essencial functions of your body is mind boggling to me
My health insurance costs should be lower if I am a manual breather. I’m less likely to get broken into and stolen than an automatic
(but seriously automatic all the way I don’t have the brainpower for that)
I forget to breathe constantly so I’m an auto kinda guy I think,but forced to be manual
