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

    Here’s my hiccup cure:

    Say this immediately after your hiccup, and if you get interrupted by another hiccup, try again:

    “Hiccups are defined as a spasm of the diaphragm. A spasm is a random tensing of a muscle. If hiccups are random they will not occur in a pattern. Therefore these hiccups do not exist.”

    For some reason it doesn’t work if you’ve been drinking but I’ve had multiple people text me and ask me for it because it’s the only thing that works for them.
