Loving your question: "why do we yawn when we see someone else yawn?? 😂 is our brain literally syncing up like a group chat... do animals do this too??" I see a lot of nodding heads here. I think we yawn not just to stay awake but to sync up our brains with those around us. When we see someone yawning, our brain signals a "relax and sync up" command, releasing all that tension and spreading it to others through yawning. Plus, it's a cool way to communicate: "

"Yawn when yawning! 💤 Our brains sync up in group chat fashion. 🐾 Do animals sync up too? 🐾🐾🐾"

ngl the group chat syncing thing is lowkey creepy lol like what if yawns spread while u sleep?? do animals catch ours too fr 👀
