shit I still remember a primary school classmate explaining to me:

one sneeze is from dust
two sneezes in quick succession are from cold
three sneezes in quick succession are from allergies

It's been 30+ years, someone pls remove this nonsense from my brain ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

I've never heard of that, but I've kind of used it for children. If it's winter and you hear you kid sneeze, do not worry. If they sneeze again, they are probably barefoot some something, go check on them. 3 times they are either already sick, or allergies

four sneezes means someone's thinking of you
five sneezes means someone's cutting peppers
six sneezes is anthrax
seven sneezes is the absolute physical maximum

Eight sneezes is instant death.

Nine sneezes means you are in Hell, unfortunately. You have already been dead this whole time, and your torture for this moment of eternity has been temporary amnesia and experiencing the sudden terror of realizing you are sneezing yourself to death. That price of darkness can be a rascal like that.

Common misconception. Actually 7.99999... is instant death.
You can't reach 8.

I saw a video of a dog sneezing 30 times in a row

Edit: found it! Glorious video of dogs sneezing https://youtube.com/shorts/4UoFDUbWFHQ

I had a professor that gave a student $100 for reaching 7 sneezes. His previous student record was 6.

[โ€“] tlmcleod@lemmy.ml 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Did anyone try to fake sneezing after that was known?

[โ€“] scala@lemmy.ml 1 points 13 hours ago

Ha. Yes. But then Prof called them out on it after the 2nd sneeze.

Didn't happen again after the first $100 went out.
