nikitoci··on Decreased CO2 during breathwork: emergence of altered states of consciousness
It’s dangerous, since hyperventilating removes co2 from your blood, and raised co2 level is primary trigger for the urge to breathe reflex. It may feel better to hyperventilate and dive longer but you’re risking suddenly blacking out. I’m a free diver and this is one of the first things you are trained not to do, as well as never to dive alone, for safety reasons.

nikitoci··on Google Maps has become an eyesore
If your problem occurs because of accidental zooming with two fingers, then there’s a solution for you.

You can zoom map with just one finger (I use thumb) – do almost a double click but instead of releasing the second click, hold it pressed. Now as you hold it, just move thumb up and down to zoom in and out.

It’s a feature I discovered accidentally a few years ago, and in my experience pretty much no one knows about it, but once shown, everyone finds it extremely useful.

> What are the even prime factors of 15346773347

Bard:

The prime factorization of 15346773347 is 2 * 3 * 11 * 101 * 1237 * 1289. The even prime factors are 2 and 12.

Not only the factorization is completely wrong but it also claims that 12 is a prime number.
