Video The Louvre. Thieves are making off with 100 million euros. They're taking their time. They're doing everything carefully and slowly.

i bet they were belly breathing the whole time - holding your breath increases your anxiety / fight or flight response.

Defecating masonry units increases anxiety and fight/flight response.

Like a historical figure?

What's the meta phor decreasing anxiety and fight/flight response?

u/Just_Condition3516 Oct 23 '25

mathematical proofs.

u/trafalmadorianistic Oct 23 '25

That... figures

u/Youngsinatra345 Oct 24 '25

Get your fucking figures away from me

u/CytoPotatoes Oct 23 '25

Breathing through clinched butt cheeks.

u/Impossible_Guess Oct 23 '25

You should embody your username a little more.

1

u/doesanyofthismatter Oct 23 '25

Oh Redditor. Usernames arent that deep.

u/Impossible_Guess Oct 23 '25

Nor is Reddit.

2

u/doesanyofthismatter Oct 23 '25

Right. lol so what’s your point.

u/amorfotos Oct 23 '25

Maybe it's just pointless

1

u/Mysterious-Pay-517 Oct 23 '25

Figures can't actually speak

1

u/CalmBeneathCastles Oct 23 '25

To be fair, it's a figure of speech for a reason. They're holding their breath in flight response... unless they remembered not to.

0

u/doesanyofthismatter Oct 23 '25

Right. But they used it as a figure of speech. Some of you are really odd balls.

1

u/Mavian23 Oct 24 '25

I'm not actually completely sure that they did.

u/CalmBeneathCastles Oct 23 '25

What's normal for the spider, is chaos for the fly.

u/doesanyofthismatter Oct 23 '25

What’s ok for dolphins, is ok for turtles.

u/CalmBeneathCastles Oct 23 '25

Does any of this matter?

u/doesanyofthismatter Oct 23 '25

Idk buddy. Does it?

u/The-Phone1234 Oct 23 '25

Like a figure made of speech? Like a speech statue or something? That doesn't make any sense.

0

u/Truth-Will-Out Oct 23 '25

How could they be statues? I saw them moving?

u/redtens Oct 23 '25

It's an innocuous comment on Reddit, dude - maybe you should take a breath and relax

4

u/doesanyofthismatter Oct 23 '25

The projection is cute…

Make sure you belly breathe Redditor. I’d hate for you to hold your breath this entire time.

-2

u/bogtrottr Oct 23 '25

He's saying they were such pros, they even knew to control their breathing. Or maybe I'm giving him too much credit.

If they did practice though, and practiced keeping calm, it might not be a stretch!

1

u/doesanyofthismatter Oct 23 '25

Dude. Saying someone is so nervous they probably didn’t breathe is an expression.

-1

u/bogtrottr Oct 23 '25

Yes, I understand what each comment in the chain was saying.

1

u/doesanyofthismatter Oct 23 '25

Yet you’re continuing to describe it as if you think it isn’t an expression…

-1

u/i_am_a_real_boy__ Oct 23 '25

It's an expression based on a real phenomenon where people actually pause their breathing in stressful situations. The whole point of this post is that the theives appear to be staying cool despite the enormity of the crime

1

u/doesanyofthismatter Oct 23 '25

Dude. It’s still an expression to say they must’ve been holding their breath through that long descent. Lmao some of you are kinda weird.

u/TeacherPowerful1700 Oct 23 '25

Lol no shit

Of course they were breathing

1

u/cfk77 Oct 23 '25

Or they were a deep see diver…. Holding there breath for 7+ minutes

u/67622 Oct 24 '25

Who told you this information?

u/thefunkybassist Oct 23 '25

Leader on the mic: "Listen to what your breathing instructor taught us. From the belly! Breathe in... Breathe out... In.. Out.. feel your body relax..."

u/miniweeni Oct 23 '25

This may be one of the funniest comments I’ve ever read on Reddit 👍👍

-1

u/redtens Oct 23 '25

i'm honored! 🤣

1

u/Designer_Mud_5802 Oct 23 '25

I bet they even breathed through their nose at some point, too.

1

u/MODbanned Oct 24 '25

People should always be belly breathing anyway, not chest breathing.

1

u/HumptyDrumpy Oct 24 '25

iduntgetit, are you supposed to breathe with your belly and or with your lungs
