Showerthoughts

Just in case for some reason you haven’t heard the phrase ‘Don’t shoot the messenger’

It’s a wonder I even have a job. The ADHD makes me forget where I place things and the blindness makes it so I can’t see where they are.

I mean its bascially the same principle.

☹️

If you actually value your anonymity, you will not be able to use most popular communication platforms in the coming months. It’s a perfect storm for the outright invasion of privacy in the USA right now.

I know, cue the Joey jokes.

Bonus Showerthought: If your parents are from two different jus sanguinus countries, you could end up with 4 citizenships at birth!

No one can deny the beauty of the 80s and 90s commercials we grew up with.. They honestly remind us of the sweetness and simplicity of those days. If anyone from the 80s generation has seen the Apple ad with the amazing Ridley Scott, or remembered the Coca-Cola “Hilltop” ad and how we all sang along!! and oh, the sweetness of the Nintendo “Game Boy” ad when we played without ever getting bored or tired of it… And of course, I cant forget the Nike “Just Do It” ad, which was a sensation. As young people, no holiday would pass without getting a pair of Nike sneakers. As for perfumes, the Chanel No. 5 ad takes you back to romantic occasions and university celebrations when that was the fragrance you wanted everyone to smell in your youth. Anyone from the 80s generation who loves 80s and 90s commercials, gather around!

When I was 8, I remember being bored and curious and touching a lot of parents stuff… phones… wallets… legal documents…

because their sense of vision is not good enough for that. they probably don’t even know that stars (besides the sun) even exist.

Will mental models and metaphors of drug use change once transport runs only on pure energy, no substance input of any kind needed any more?

Or just real dumb I guess.

There’s probably an extraterrestrial kid out there right now, doodling a rainbow instead of doing homework.

for context an NPS score is basically the answer to a single question about how likely you are to recommend a service or product to someone else, it’s used in marketing to gauge the success of said product or service.

Alt universe Showerthought:

Whales are tetrapods, which evolved from lobe-finned fishes, so cladistically they are fish. And so am I. Bloop bloop bloop!

I mean we can now document every single day of our lives, even down to the seconds, if we wanted to…

I’m so old I remember when people would read the newspaper.

“Parents that awful don’t deserve to have children, poor kids…”

Thanks Christians, you can shove that bible right up your collective asses.

Who needs guns and tanks when you’ve got a dog the size of a horse that can run at 258 mph and breathe fire? And he’s biddable enough to be commanded by a ten year old.

Mostly politicians

Kind of like the Prada in Marfa, it could be an art project and contain Radio Shack, Blockbuster and other stores from that time that aren’t around anymore.

Like, I get that dreams are probably a way for the brain to sort and store its recent experiences, but why/how do we even remember those dreams? I can’t think of what purpose that could serve, other than to make me question my sanity.

So you only take it when you absolutely have to instead of OD’ing because cough syrup tastes good.

The concept of memes is itself a meme

Million seconds → ~11.6 days Billion seconds → ~31.7 years Trillion seconds → ~31,700 years

If anti-Semitism is illegal in so many countries, why aren’t more pro Israel/pro war people arrested? They are the most anti-Semitic people on the planet.

Set up like a traditional funeral, with a grave, a coffin, eulogies and large photos of the animal in various stages of its life cycle. The speakers could be biologists who give mini-lectures about the animal and its evolutionary history and climate experts who can explain why they died out. The gravestones could be giant stone sculptures of the animal, with the lifespan of its species’ existence written in place of the “Born - Died” years, maybe with lots of other info carved into it for posterity, like its home regions, mating and familial behaviours, etc. Maybe local politicians could [be shamed to] attend. Maybe even celebrities who could come and sing or whatever.

There are tons of people on YouTube reacting to songs and movies. Like Katee Sackhoff watching her own Battlestar Galactica for the first time.

Schrodinger’s Mental Illness

yeah

Baffling. Its also becoming the norm to not even have a PC.

So, i was thinking…they for sure will not allow you to use your face to verify multiple accounts (just like how you can’t use your email or phone number to verify on multiple accounts) otherwise everyone would just use the same image to bypass the age verification so how do identical twins do? I am sure that AIs (and human operators too, tbf) will just guess that it’s the same person

Lawn mowers make great but usually impractical fart silencers.

Imagine if companies really had to compete to offer the best products like capitalist apologists preach?

Jesus said he would return stealthily, and nobody would know when. Therefore, if any of those people who keep predicting the time of the Second Coming get it right, then by their own theology they will delay it.

AI “art” is prone to nonsensical hallucinations with people gaining extra fingers, background elements bleeding together, and everything just looking uncanny. It’s technically possible that you could train yourself to try and imitate this “style”, but it would be both incredibly difficult to learn, and also be incredibly unrewarding- even putting aside having to prove you did, in fact, make said piece of art, it would still be as ugly as the AI stuff no one likes anyway.

Since cats all act the same no matter the culture of the person filing the video, the message is easy to understand.

When you move your awareness from one thing to another. For example : from thoughts about lunch, to the feeling of your right hand, to the sound of traffic outside.

Here’s how it should have gone: - People start to believe the Qanon BS, and likely was spread as a primer to shift the blame away from the “right wing” figures in the network. - Epstein’s compromat on Bill Clinton leaks mysteriously. - Clinton gets jailed, then he either would have been forced to admit not only his actual crimes, but everything Epstein did, or gets mysteriously suicided in his cell. - Epstein leaves the “left”, becomes a hard right conservative.

Jonah, I know you were smoking The Weeds out behind the the pottery barn again with those fire lovers. My friend with 8 million Eyes told me so!

For most of us it’s only right, natural and sane to conform and submit.

Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009) is really just the story of a sentient race of genocidal fanatically religious sexbots that want to make babies with their human johns.

Thinking about how on poly market of setting up bets on nuclear war, or nuclear exchange. If you think it won’t happen you bet no, but if you yes and win then most likely the venue will get destroyed and you won’t get your payout or money you get will be worthless… Guess that adds another layer of betting. Assuming guarantee money would be worthless it would effectively mean losing.

Recently I was introduced to the Indian caste system. No thanks. That is a designation you cannot escape as you are born into such a label for life. A label/status influencing every aspect of your life, from start to finish and beyond.

Hear me out:

He’s 64
