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

Hiccups are most likely a demonic possession. Try praying next time.
