What's that? You're not tired and you haven't seen anyone open their mouth big, but you read about a hypothetical person opening their mouth big? Bad news...

You hit the gym and are having a good session, guess what
One indicator for someone being a socio/psychopath is they don't yawn when you do. It's not 100% accurate, but it can be pretty close. Catching a yawn is apparently a sign of empathy, and sociopaths don't have empathy. At least that's what I've read.
Can confirm, I do struggle with empathy (more in the autism way than the socio/psychopath way though) and don't really catch yawns from anyone. I will still pretend to yawn when someone else does though, because I know that not doing that will make them subconsciously wary of me
I've yawned three times already reading through all these comments.
This post literally made me yawn. Not because it's bad either.
When a baby is crying on an airplane during takeoff or landing, I visibly and audibly yawn in front of them on purpose, so they catch the yawn and pop their ears.
You're supposed to stay in your seat during take off and landing. Please, remain in your seat. Why do you keep getting out of your seat and silently scream at the babies?!
Who says you have to get out of your seat?
that is genius
A yawn is a signal to regain some alertness, so when you yawn in order to become more awake, it signals your fellow life forms they might want to be alert too. 🥱
Apparently there isn't much consensus on what the actual reason(s) are for yawning. Apparently fish yawn though, so that's cool.
Isn't it a social signal, apebrain talking?
Are there any other involuntary social signals?
….erections?
I do prefer to let my erection do the talking.
^ -me to the police officer who pulled me over and asked if I knew how fast I was going.
Name checks out
Solitary animals yawn too. Don't if they can catch yawns, or how to test it.
Didn't have to see anyone, I've done it twice just reading this post.
Wtf
Just reading this made me yawn.
same! what is this WITCHERY!?1
oh gods dammit fuck aaaaall y'aaaaaall.
Yawn
You're not tired, but you saw a post about yawning? Well, guess what.
You are now yawning manually.
You saw an animal open their mouth big? Have fun.
Got to make everyone tired so they don't get you while you sleep.
I saw someone recently yawn at a zoom meeting, and I thought "rule."
