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…
*Yawn*

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?

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

You’re not tired, but you saw a post about yawning? Well, guess what.

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?

Solitary animals yawn too. Don’t if they can catch yawns, or how to test it.

Are there any other involuntary social signals?

This post literally made me yawn. Not because it’s bad either.

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. 🥱

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.”
