What's actually cool is that if is something spinning, it's the fluid in your ears that help with proprioception and knowing where your body is.

What happens if you just drain that fluid?

I'm going to guess severe vertigo.

[-] velvetThunder@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

That fluid is part of your organ that senses acceleration. When you still feel the acceleration but can't see it, you get dizzy. Don't think it's pleasant when you can't feel acceleration anymore.

Inner ear fluid, yum.

You can generally counteract the dizziness by spinning the opposite direction even.

Man I hate getting brainticular torsion.

This is why I don't ride elevators, rollercoasters, or do jumping jacks.

My cerebellum is in a tangle

Just spin back the other direction, you'll be fine.

Well, it's true for me, at least!

Sometimes, I don't even need to spin!
