Suggesting that they are experiencing concussions often is a clue.

You mean when I RAM my BRAIN into my SKULL it does IRREPARABLE brain DAMAGE!?!?

Sounds like fancy talk to me.

I read that in the voice and temper of Daria's teacher Mr. DeMartino.

I have no clue what this person is talking about but I identify with the strong desire to be understood for nonsense connections that your brain insists are totally rational.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 21 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I actually think I know what they're talking about, I have hit my head to the point of needing staples to close it, and I sure do remember a distinct "taste" in my mouth. I wouldn't say it's seafood but... There is something to it.

Idk if it's just brain being stupid and sending wrong signals because of the trauma, but still...

[–] interrobang@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 5 months ago

I always thought the taste of a hard head hit was like how some (latex?) paint smells? It is almost like a clean fish smell!

This makes some sense to me

Hit head, bite tongue, taste blood. Blood is a bit metallic. Canned tuna sometimes has a metallic taste. I could see how someone might associate that with seafood.

Could also see a jostling of the brain just causing all kinds of random shit to be perceived just due to the brain freaking out for a moment.

[–] oldfart@lemm.ee 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No no, I can taste that too, there's no blood or biting involved. Happens when i hit my head really hard, eyes go dark for a fraction of a second, and the taste appears.

[–] Firipu@startrek.website 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

How often does that happen that you recognize this? I can't remember the last time I hit my head hard enough that it hurt, let alone hard enough to black out for a second.

Is this a common occurance for most people?

[–] oldfart@lemm.ee 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm tall, the world is not built for my needs

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I'm 6'6'' myself, but I tend to learn from my mistakes and keep my head down.

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Nah what this is is the person triggering their salivary glands and it's salty just like the seafood they eat is salty.

Lick back up in the corners of your mouth by your upper molars. There's a duct there that is salty.

Brain damage is so kawaii

Yeah, she seems to hang around with HolostarsEN a bunch

[–] chumbalumber@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 5 months ago

could be CSF leak.

Unlikely, but can be experienced by e.g. rugby players after a serious head injury.

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 5 months ago

I think someone is allergic. To intelligence.

[–] jose1324@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Least dumbass vtuber

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Yeah, I think I'd be a little preoccupied by the massive head pain to taste anything

[–] indepndnt@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Hmm, I have a taste that I associate with pain, but I don't think it's seafood. I don't eat a lot of seafood though, doesn't suit well with me.

[–] algorithmae@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 5 months ago

Whenever I injure myself enough to bleed I get a metallic taste, kinda like the iron in blood I guess. I could see how someone else might get a more salt water seafood taste if this happened to them
