What Are Atmospheric Jellyfish?
“An atmospheric jellyfish refers to cryptids that allegedly reside in the earth’s atmosphere. They are also known as atmospheric beasts. Some researchers considered them as living creatures. However, they seem to go against the scientific laws that apply to living creatures.
According to research, these creatures are soft bodied and can fly on their own. In addition to this, there are part of the jellyfish that cannot be seen by the naked eye. However, some experts say that they may be an offshoot of some other creatures from other planets within our solar system or within giant gas clouds from outer space.”

WHAT HAPPENS TO A PERSON’S BODY WHEN THEY DRINK A COKE
- In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavour allowing you to keep it down.
- 20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat. (There’s plenty of that at this particular moment)
- 40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.
- 45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centres of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.
- >60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism. This is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.
- >60 Minutes: The caffeine’s diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.) It is now assured that you’ll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolyte and water.
- >60 minutes: As the rave inside of you dies down you’ll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You’ve also now, literally, pissed away all the water that was in the Coke. But not before infusing it with valuable nutrients your body could have used for things like even having the ability to hydrate your system or build strong bones and teeth.

Everything that happens to you is a reflection of what you believe about yourself. We cannot draw to ourselves more than we think we are worth.
