I hate that when you’re stressed enough your body just starts falling apart. I think it should realize you’re already stressed and don’t need that and start functioning better actually
sleep is kinda like a rhythm game where there's 1-2 hour periods where you feel tired during which you need to perform a 'sleep' action and then if you miss them you stop feeling tired but retain the penalty.

The Fossil Pokemon are an existential philosophical nightmare.
A fossil is a mineral which has taken the shape of a dead animal by replacing all of its biological matter, like a stony ship of theseus. And now this rock is "revived" by scientists who didn't think through the implications of their actions.
I put "revived" in quotes because this isn't a revival. The original Pokemon is still dead, and has been for millions of years. The fossil that took the shape of its corpse was never alive. All the scientists did was reverse-engineer a facsimile of the living Pokemon from a copy of its dead body. It's a simulation of a resurrection done in stone, walking around thinking it's the same life it was before.
Thankfully, all Fossil Pokemon are as dumb as the rock they're made of, so they're not bothered by their own messed up existence.
That's why, other than the Generation VIII iterations, Fossil Pokémon are all Rock-type, even when it would seem unnatural, such as the multiple Water/Rock types and the Rock/Flyer. We can assume the actual basal species was probably something else. It's like when Colossal made those fake Dire Wolf chimeras, if they also infused them with, like, Karate energy.
Luckily, in the Pokémon world, souls are real and can be knocked unconscious, so the actual trick to "revival" is forcing the Ghost-type remnant of the original species into the fossils. It's something like Rotom's integration with technology, a soul download.
And we know they had crazy science projects all over Johto, because Mew was subjected to a breeding program based on its primordial nature, a company finally figured out how to see Ghosts using technology (during a mass outbreak of possessions in the region's necropolis), and Bill fused himself with Pokémon, like in the Fly. Actually, Gen I has this creepy undercurrent of transcendent mad science; and all this was happening at roughly the same time that the pokécivilization figured out how to revive fossils. It's an outgrowth of the Ghost-detection, genetic research on Mew's move-learning type-flexibility, and biological fusion tech.
but ykw at least i'm not on mount everest. at least i'm not paying tens of thousands of dollars to slowly suffocate in a 300-person line at the gates of hell. never in my life will i have to be steered in a hypoxic stupor through the maze of poop and corpses atop mount everest. on this earth a lot of horrible things can happen to you without your permission but there are a few that you have to opt into. you can just say no thanks! and be guaranteed never to have to be on mount everest. much to be grateful for actually

So I've got this friend whose nervous because she's trans and dating this guy who she hasn't told yet because they've only been on a two dates. For this story let's call the friend Jane and the guy she was dating Jason. Happy ending don't worry.
So I tell Jane to bring her boy over to a bbq I'm having and she can tell him she's trans at my place surrounded by queer and trans people who love her and will support her if he ends up being awful.
She waits till the end of the bbq to tell him the news, by which point the rest of us have learned that Jason is a kind, friendly, empathetic, hard working, dummy. So we sit down, all of us a little worried about this gym bro's reaction when she tells him she's trans, and that she understands if he doesn't want to keep dating her it's no big deal.
He's baffled, so we explain what trans is, and after the disclosure that she hasn't had bottom surgery yet...
"Oh you have a dick?"
"... yeah."
He look's around at the room full of people with baited breath, his clearly a little afraid girl friend says
"Oooohhhh! I get it! You think- don't worry Babe! Watch this!"
And ya'll this man jumps up, runs into the kitchen and returns with one of the bratwurst we had for grilling and proceeds to tilt his head back, put it down his throat, hold it in his mouth for a moment, and spit it up without even a whisper of a gag and then looks around at the group absolutely beaming with pride.
My mans saw his worried girlfriend and her support network and thought to him self "Oh they don't think I can't please my girl, but I'll show them!"
I do feel the need to add that later he excitedly tell the group that as a straight guy, he never thought that skill would be useful outside hotdog eating contests.
