minus-squarePresi300linkfedilinkEnglish5•8 hours agoWait, you’re telling me it isn’t painful for everyone?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•7 hours agoIt’s generally not, though certain types of stimuli can cause pain through their own merit either directly or indirectly. Bright lights that cause prolonged squinting, loud sounds (obviously), etc. I recently learned that touch can also cause pain. Like just general touching that results in overstimulation that feels like pain. That’s not common. I imagine it’s kind of overloading the tickle and itchy pathways or something, which feels painful?..
minus-squarePresi300linkfedilinkEnglish1•edit-27 hours agoSo you’re telling me that you can use smth like a drill/angle grinder or go to a concert without ear protection and not feel pain?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•7 hours agoNo, loud volumes are one of the things I mentioned explicitly that cause pain inherently. You should be using hearing protection when using loud tools or attending concerts.
