When in doubt, it's a fertility symbol.

[Rolan7]

It definitely looks manmade, but I don't see how that's possible.  Like the plank used to be a lot thicker, and they ground down the entire thing except for that part?  I guess that would work.

[Aklyon]

Kinda looks like half a mold, but I'm guessing its not and its made of wood?

[StrawBarrel]

Thanks for the answers people. I appreciate the info. Here are some more pics in case anyone's still curious.

Now that's what I call [FERTILE]!

[Egan_BW]

Going to guess that's just a random pattern result from human meddling with the wood. If it looks too perfect to be random, I have two words for you: confirmation bias.

[Wolfhunter107]

Yeah, it definitely looks like somebody carved out the board to make that. Why, I have no clue.

[Rolan7]

Ah, yeah.  I was imagining they ground down the entire rest of the board.  The fact that they only sawed out an (admittedly large) area around the art actually drives home that it's artificial.
That's pretty cool though, thanks for sharing it!

What the hell do you call whatever they're doing with guitars or synth or whatever at the beginning of (and throughout) this song? I want to do that.

Sounds like envelope processing with half-octave (or some other fractional pitch change) shifted self-interference. Flute is the instrument.


RE: skateboard dude

It is called Bas-Relief.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relief

It is a sculpture technique that has been around for at least 3 millennia. (Probably more.)  It is done with chisels and files.

Anybody got any good sore throat,  and nasal congestion relief tips? From the most obvious to the most esoteric, secret family recipes, I could use some.

[Rolan7]

My dad and I have long treated chronic cough with red wine.  It actually does seem to help relax and numb the throat.
Better than cough syrup, imho.

Ehm, why do you feel ecstasy after work out and your overall feeling gets ten times better when you start regular going to gym?

[Rolan7]

Endorphins are a hell of a drug.
Technically addictive, but only in the best sense.  They encourage generally healthy behavior, until/unless you reach semi-Olympic status.

Exercise produces endorphins. Working out makes you feel good!

I've had some success with a soothing tea like chamomile for the throat. A dispersable NSAID tablet can also do a lot of good, because you get it applied topically as well.

For nasal congestion, these days I just take a decongestant type pill - Sinutab is the brand, but it might not be the same where you are.

When you exercise your body releases endorphins.

Endorphins regulate pain AND are also one of the hormones responsible for happiness and pleasure.

As for why it gets better... likely because you are releasing the same amount of endorphins but aren't as unfit.

Some people have even said that they get a very powerful response from exercise. It does, though, depend on your makeup (not everyone gets the euphoria, and some people get almost a euphoria overdose)
