@Hypolite Petovan maybe, my brain is illness soup

The word Parent is a verb here, meaning to act in the parental role, which might be the barrier?

@Hypolite Petovan I figured it was brain soup or English verbing nouns

So Zeitgebers are a thing in psychology deeply linked to sleep, addiction, and hunger. Basically the theory as it works is that the brain produces certain neurotransmitters based on external events (this is pretty easy)

But this means that the best way to make someone hungry is to *do thing things that lead to lunchtime*, or the way to make someone tired is to do thing things that happen before you sleep.

So, my wife did her thesis in zeitgebers during exams and sleep disruption caused by it (with an emphasis on effects of people with Bipolar Disorder, since you know, fields get narrow), and so we thought a lot about them for our kids. We established good rituals before sleep, managed a good bedtime routine, but also made it repeatable.

This meant my sick 2 year old had napped a bunch and didn't want to sleep, so I kept him up an hour, did toothbrushing, gave him a bedtime snack, and gave him lullabies, and he was asleep instantly

@Hypolite Petovan Obviously they are:
Phising but with your voice
Phishing but via an SMS
Phishing but via a QR code

Obviously! Aren't you glad we have clear terminology!

@Hypolite Petovan I have been sick for days and missed this!

Catfishing is a separate type of scam than phishing. Both are deception based scams, but is generally about stealing credentials and another is generally directly stealing money. The joke was just taking cat fishing and acting like it was a subset of phishing due to the similarities and then giving it a confusing name. The smishing and vishing.
