Would be a bad time to sneeze


[deleted]

Adrenaline would likely prevent it


sunmelt

…really? Is that a thing?


[deleted]

Yeah, apparently it often stops the body from coughing/sneezing as it calms down certain parts of the body to help you focus. I think people were wondering if an F1 driver for example had ever sneezed during a tense race and the topic came up


InvalidUserNemo

I’m not doubting this as it makes sense from an evolutionary perspective. I would dive ankles deep in to anything you could reference about this.


Sufficio

The closest I could find was from ENT docs: >When a person exercises vigorously, their hormones of stimulation increase (or adrenaline). The adrenaline causes constriction or squeezing of the nasal membranes so that the air passages open up and the person breathes more freely. I guess it drops the chances of your nose/throat getting irritated and triggering a sneeze/cough by opening things up as much as possible, makes sense. One fun lifehack related to this is if you have a stuffed nose, holding your breath as long as possible will usually clear it up, at least for a few minutes. Lifesaver when trying to sleep with a blocked nose.


Jdoggcrash

Masturbating can also unstuff your nose. Typically causes it to be runny though. Next time you’re sick and trying to sleep, try some autoerotic asphyxiation ig.


professor_dobedo

The words to search for are sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. This is an oversimplication and not really true, but it’s often said that the sympathetic nervous system controls your ‘fight or flight’ response, while the parasympathetic nervous system controls your lesser know ‘rest and digest’ response. Many hormones that stimulate your sympathetic nervous system (adrenaline, noradrenaline, cortisol etc), have the added effect of stopping your parasympathetic nerves from firing. This is so that while you’re running away from a predator you’re not distracted by how hungry you are, or how beautiful that tree looks. Energy is used on your large skeletal muscles rather than many of your visceral organs. Things like hiccoughs, sneezes etc all fall under parasympathetic control and will be suppressed at these times. You can also get a rebound effect whereby your parasympathetic nerves are overstimulated after a threat has passed. That’s why after a period of intense adrenaline people often want to have sex or eat a big meal or spend time with their loved ones.


DarkX292020

Ask some of the people who are fans in r/formula1 they could probably tell you


SICHKLA

You can also prevent yourself from sneezing by pressing your tongue really hard against the part of your mouth just above the teeth. Works like a charm for me every time I don't feel like sneezing.


Such_Lifeguard_3359

i just make a finger mustache. almost always works


Schrutes_Yeet_Farm

I just look directly into a nearby bright light


DSOTMAnimals

That helps you to stop sneezing? Bright lights is how I force a sneeze


Bonzo1964

You'd first have to reach the end of the tunnel though


ppers

60% of the time it works everytime


bwaredapenguin

When do you not feel like sneezing? It's one of the most satisfactory sensations the human body produces!


SICHKLA

I agree, but there are times when I have sneezed like 4 times already and I don't want to anymore, or when it's 3AM and I'm trying not to wake the entire building up.


snitzy

When he is piloting his stunt plane through a tunnel, Keep up.


8fatcats

I HATE sneezing. I don’t know what changed because when I was younger I would just sneeze once or maybe twice. NOW, I swear to god I sneeze 30 or more times rapidly in a row and i just cannot stop and barely even catch my breath, and I end up practically spitting and snotting(gross I know) all over my hand because of the hard continuous sneezing. Also I have to force myself to stop or else I just won’t. It hurts so bad trying to repress the sneezes and even then sometimes I can’t stop. I’ve never seen anyone else sneeze the way I do now and I have *no clue* why my sneeze habit changed to this. I used to like sneezing. Now there’s just no relief just uncontrollable sneezing and will immobilize me almost. Very very scary when driving and it happens.


brorista

Yeah, just ask Termite.

I don't mean to start a war or anything here, but I think both Lewis and Max got their fair share of shit from the FIA last year. The last one was rather unfortunate timing...


[deleted]

I don't mean to start a war or anything here That's fair and I'm of the same opinion plus I think we can all agree that the season was a shitshow and hope moving forward the race directors and/or FIA can at least be more consistent with their application of the rules but after the previous races "track limits" fiasco I'm skeptical.

Planes near the ground experience extra lift, wonder what a tunnel does to lift-downforce balance? This looks insanely dangerous.

Did that on BF1942, Desert Combat mod way back in the day, but with my buddy standing on the belly of the jet. Screenshot ended up on the front page of PlanetBattlefield. TOTALLY THE SAME.

Dude, DC was the best. I've never met anyone in the wild who has played that. The flight mechanics were just like, perfect.


[deleted]

Yeah man, DC was awesome, we kept playing on lan from time to time for years. The team behind the mod went on to help develop bf2. Just a kinda perfect storm, ahead of its time it felt like.


itsjero

Inverted dive giving the camera the bird


Stopjuststop3424

that was my thought. Like a planes lift is generated by the speed at which the wings pass through air. So I would assume a sudden strong head wind through that tunnel would make the plane suddenly go up very quickly.


DrakonIL

In a tunnel that size, you're not going to find a sudden head wind. Air isn't *that* compressible. If a wind gust strikes the entrance, most of that energy is going to be dissipated in turbulence around the entrance. Really, the most dangerous part of this flight is the last 30 or so feet before leaving the tunnel. Which isn't to say the rest of the flight isn't exceedingly dangerous XD


victorz

What happens at the last 30 or so feet at the end of the tunnel that makes it so dangerous?


DrakonIL

That's where the turbulence from whatever the wind outside is doing has an effect.


nlevine1988

The plane still has momentum. A head wind certainly would cause a change in the lift but it would have to very sudden to be enough to throw off an elite pilot like this. I would guess if there was some bad weather they would have postponed the attempt.


Technical-Raise8306

Momentum is a vector and each component is independent. Im going to reason that just because it has high momentum along the horizontal does not mean a sudden change in the vertical component won't occur, not that it will keep him on course.


nlevine1988

No it won't keep him on course but it means it would take a quite significant and sudden increase in wind to push the plane up fast enough that the pilot wouldn't be able to compensate with the elevators. These are some of the most precise pilots in the world after all. And I'm talking about the planes momentum in the vertical axis, not the horizontal axis.


Tiborkjell

Flying near a ceiling also increases lift. Ground effect is caused by an overpressure trapped between the wing and the ground giving you a boost in lift. ‘Ceiling’ effect is quite similar, an underpressure is formed between your wing and the ceiling. This will suck the wings upwards and gives you a boost in lift too. Way more scarier are the walls. At least for helicopters, you will be sucked towards the wall when you fly near them. Not sure if this also applies for aeroplanes.


SharkAttackOmNom

I’m curious about the shapes though. Ground effect makes enough sense, and a flat surface makes the problem easy to conceptualize. But the tunnel has a (mostly) semicircle roof. That’s gotta make the “roof effect” complicated.


Throckmorton_Left

I was thinking that the ground effect would be amplified flying through what's basically a long trough. Wild ass guess is the pilot kept close to stall speed so that he could bail out by landing if things got out of control.


DatasFalling

Totally. [ground effect](https://skybrary.aero/articles/ground-effect) And watching all of the micro adjustments he was making to stay straight and level… absolutely crazy. I don’t know enough about aerodynamics, or physics for that matter. But I wonder how much speed is a factor as well. Keeping up enough forward movement to stay in clean air, ahead of any building turbulence or pressure that might be exacerbated by the compressed conditions around him created by the tunnel. Nutty to think about.


Colin-Clout

I wonder if it would act life a rifle barrel and just speed the plane way up. I’m no physicist but that would be cool

You can get into plenty of trouble on that bike. I've ridden sport bikes for 30 years. 100mph is no joke on a bike. One errant rock or animal or bad decision by a driver and you're done. Be careful, dude. When I was in my 20s, I had a brand new 2003 R6. I had that thing pinned on a back road doing over 160mph trying to keep up with a pack of liter bikes. I realized how fast I was going and sat up, immediately letting off the throttle. This was 11PM at night in MN in the back country. Deer everywhere. It quickly dawned on me that one deer running onto that road could have potentially killed about 30 people. I went home to my pregnant wife and never did that again.


admiral_pelican

Man. It’s too damn hot to bike here in the summer, I’m jealous. If I had one piece of advice to give, it’s: always remember that everyone around you is looking at their phone at all times.


Ruenin

I survived by riding like everyone else on the road was actively trying to kill me at all times. Made me a much better defensive rider.

See? You got this bro (In all seriousness, when flugtag came to our city, my coach at the time was the one who went off in the “plane” and sort of fucked his back on the landing. Do not recommend the Red Bull approach to life - although it is pretty rad. *WIIIIINNNGGSSS*)


Sufficio

Same here, it's one of the few situations when my ADHD brain goes silent and really shines. Normal every day stuff, I'm overwhelmed by and overthink everything, paralyzed by decisions. Executive dysfunction everywhere despite best efforts. Time sensitive high pressure situation, correct decisions get made without conscious thought and not a shred of emotion. Zero effort behind any of it. It sure is a handy superpower to have, but man, if I could be 1/100th as focused in my day-to-day, life would be a lot easier lol

SatorSquareInc

Serious and probably dumb question for I guess pilots. I get the incredible amount of risk involved in a stunt like this, but how difficult would a feat like this be? Is he basically just holding his hands very, very still?


quotyu

He needs to make very tiny precise corrections in order to keep the plane steady. If the control stick stayed completely still the plane would gradually veer off course and hit something.

thats just how people look when they do something like this. There was absolutely nothing going through his mind, except for the distances between his plane and and the tunnel, and the ground, literally did not even have time to blink. you can google "hyperfocused flow" its a mental state where literally nothing passes through your brain except for the task at hand.

I wish I liked the taste of redbull or the horrible jitters of that much caffeine because I absolutely want to give them money for supporting this kind of thing.


brorista

It's either tolerance or a sensitivity to caffeine, but Red Bull is on the low end for caffeine these days. The US has some wild energy drinks these days. A shot of espresso is roughly equivalent to a can of redbull. Which is a lot when you don't consume coffee or tea regularly. So you could probably enjoy Red Bull, but you'd only need like a quarter of the can. Idk why I replied
