   I was reading a Thing about Brains earlier so here's some BRAIN FACTS:

   * the 10% thing is nonsense, you use 100% of your brain 100% of the time

   * so is the whole left/right-brained thing - while specific functions are lateralized, higher processes like creativity or logical thinking are pretty much not

   * functionally, there isn't really much of a "female" or "male" brain

   * just in general, brains are very individual and for any group you have huge within-group variance

     @halcy but what about the group of individuals with no within-group brain variance? Aaaaaaaaaaah!

     halcy​:icosahedron: repeated this.

     * brains in a skull don't quite look like brains in a jar because the meninges squish it real good so the sulci are nice and tight
