Ok, here me out, this is so small compare to other c/mildlyinfuriating that people would not casually read what I have to say.
For the last 3 months I’ve had hiccups 5 times. And I have hiccedup 6 times in total. In Juin It happened for the first time. I had hiccuped once and it reminded me of stories about “telling yourself your not a fish” so at the second hiccup I told myself, “I am not a fish”
Boom, nothing at all. I was mad. Why. God damn why. I am almost now pissed I am not hiccupping this make no sense.
But maybe, it was a random one in a hundred lucky moment where I told it to myself when it naturally stopped. And I awaited the next time .
End of the month of Juin. Going down the stairs from the cafeteria after eating with people,
I had one.
The second it happened I thought to myself how angry I was before and instantly told myself “I am not a fish”. And nothing after… Oh boy I was fuming, there is no reason on earth that thinking I am a biped, a homo sapiens sapiens. How can my brain forget that I sapiens the sapiens and goes back to fish mode. You have the capacity if you’d wish to, to build rockets, but you forget your a human and find a bribe of fish DNA in me somewhere, wow
So I continued for the next two month. And after 3 month of evaluation, I have come to the conclusion that for me, this indeed works, but have not accepted the fact this sh.itjust.works .
Thank you for hearing this, and I can only invite you to try it, I personally almost missed the funny feeling of hiccups today doing it almost automatically
Lime wedge with sugar on it. Has NEVER not worked before.
Interestingly, in my family it was lemon juice. Never mattered how much lemon juice it was, but it worked 99% of the time.
I have stomach problems, so that much acid at once isn’t ideal for me.
My wife’s family has always done a spoonful of maple syrup, so I tried that… and it works literally every time for me!
