Literally no downsides. Here’s a non-exhaustive list of a few things you‘ll receive when you donate blood:
– a free checkup
– a blood test for various diseases
– free snacks
– an excuse to take it easy
– the tender realization of how wonderful it is that humans can share blood
– a reminder of your own mortality
– a reminder of the mortality of others
– you get the think about how hard your body must be working to make all this blood
And whole time you’re saving lives too!
way easier than you think and very cool to potentially help save the life of a complete stranger. good karma (plus free juice and snack hack).
also feels like a good ritual to feel connected to the realities of your mortal human body. forced to me to take my vitamins and eat my greens before my appointment bc i was eager to pass my iron levels test (i did 💪🥬)
I'm a firm believer that the behaviour of users in the average comment section of a platform is reflective of the platform itself. And pi.fyi just so happens to have the most earnest comments in the whole world wide web.
Love this new look, a little jarring at first but man is this awesome. Websites are never static, and they aren't made to be. I hope pi.fyi keeps changing forever.
