“you need to go to sleep. you work nights. it is daytime. you will fall asleep on the toilet at work like you did today/night/whatever, if you don’t get a good day’s sleep starting now”

“so i was thinking about that comic villain who could only be defeated by making him say his own name backwards. and i was just wondering, how do we know this isn’t the way all humans are? like, maybe we’re all inherently superpowered villains who can only lose our powers if we say our own names backwards, except nearly all of us do that, at some time in childhood, before our powers would come into maturity. the only reason we are not a species of exclusively superpowered villains is because there’s almost no one who’s a grown adult and has NEVER tried spelling their own name backwards and then saying it out loud, i mean maybe there are a few people like that, but they mostly don’t realize they have powers or they convince themselves they don’t, because the other kind of human, the one that undid their own powers, is so overwhelmingly the norm. And maybe this is all a sort of species-wide self-preservation instinct. a drive to erase our own powers in childhood, preemptively, because a whole species of nothing but comic book supervillains could never survive.”
