      Do you know how dangerous standing up is?

      I actually know that better than most people!

      As a teen, I once stood up way too fast in a church after sitting down for a LONG time and the resulting lack of oxygen to the brain caused me to go fully unconscious, falling and whacking my head against the altar on the way down.

      When I came to in an ambulance, I was very confused and had a cool-looking abrasion on my chin, but otherwise fine.

      Once they’d determined that there was no concussion or other lasting damage, I was gleeful to find out that I’d turned the cross on the altar upside down while falling, edgelord teen atheist going to church against my will as I was 😁
