My guess is that awareness plays into it through humans' perceptions of time. We can both anticipate and recollect pleasurable/painful experiences in ways fish probably can't. We can use our imaginations to torture ourselves, or mentally escape painful circumstances.
How this balances out in terms of intensity? Idk lmao
Ghee, or Indian-style clarified butter, is butter that's been simmered and the milk solids (proteins and sugars) skimmed off. This leaves a clear yellow oil that doesn't smoke when it's heated and doesn't go rancid quickly, but has a distinct toasty butter flavor....
Since we have a higher state of awareness as humans, might we also have more intense experiences of pain / pleasure / emotions?
Like, do we feel more pain than a fish would? More euphoria than mice could feel?
WHEN WILL THOSE MFERS LEARN?!?!!! (lemmy.world)
YSK: If you make popcorn in a pot on the stove, the oil to use is ghee.
