I like city building games and puzzles. I like other things as well, but that's not important right now.

  • As a kid - 5 years old - i woke up confused because i thought about 2 years had elapsed. I think i experienced something akin to the famous lampshade story where a guy dreams of an entire simulated life. Tbf though that guy's dream sounds like it was induced by a concussion, but I had nothing of the sought.

    I remember having many particularly vivid, surreal, dreams around that time. Unfortunately I can't remember for sure if I dreamed an entire 2 years of life, nor do i remember the contents of the dream at the time, but i remember feeling like I'd time travelled and I think i told everyone I'd dreamed i was 7.

    Almost more interesting to me is the fact that me and some others in my family all have short, decently detailed, precognitive dreams; we get a 'vision' of events before they happen, in our sleep.

    The precognitive dream takes into account a lot of what other people do in the moment, not just what you're doing. For example my latest one was just me sat in my home office feeling a selection of specific emotions and feeling quite mad at someone, and have a complex chain laid out in my head for why i'm feeling them, and, in the dream, i'm confused as to why i feel that way, because the chain of logic isn't based on anything i've experienced yet, and i wasn't annoyed with X person at the time.

    Then when the moment occured in real life I did know the full context behind my emotions - and because i was baffled by the 'chain of reasoning' behind my emotions in the precog dream, and i have presently noticed that my premonition dream is playing out in front of me, i take the time to analyse my emotions a bit more in that moment.

    It mostly occurs with conversations, just me sitting alone somewhere, or with going to a new place.

    Having read about "second sight" in scottish folklore, the way it manifests for me and my relatives is exactly like that. We likely have scottish ancestry as well.

  • Which plants (or fungi) are the worst, and why?

    Jump

  • conservation status: least concern

    Scientists: "Kill it off."

    So strange though. It's like a tree which didn't get the memo that trees are supposed to be nice, friendly and helpful.

    How could we go about making a jurisdiction where advertising is illegal?

    Jump

  • Maybe - i suppose one way around it is newspapers run by specific organisations or for specific topics. For instance, universities have their own free newspapers, there are newspapers in my city for artists and musicians to share news relevant to their craft and any gigs going on.

    Or you coukd have a completely digital one run by volunteers who have an interest in journalism, websites, and are willing to pitch in a bit. Also they can charge fees for anyone who buys it.

    Could ban ads but allow for "free space" for local businesses to put ad spots or for people to advertise their freelance services or make headhunting requests. Remember how people used to seek dates using newspaper spots? I guess thst's obsolete now. But still.

  • I have heard so many bad things about Eucalyptus trees.

    In fact, the latest bad thing i heard about them was in a koala copypasta submitted to the animal thread from last week, where it was insinuated that the abundance of eucalyptus trees is a large reason why Australia is barren/ecologically weird, due to their very low provision of calories. This obviously will not do. A mammal's main love of trees is their ability to bear fruit.

    Likewise, in California, the mass plantation of Eucalyptus trees led to very severe wildfires in the future (our present day). In part, this is just a debuff of any forest monoculture, but i have similarly heard that they're actually more flammable than many other types of trees. [Edit: while source hunting, it looks like Eucalypti are actually known to BLOW THEMSELVES UP to remove competition. This makes them the suicide bombers of the natural world!!]

    And what really bites the biscuit is that Eucalyptus trees STINK!! Their ultra minty sour fragrance seems so artifical to me - like worn down tyres, melted down and mixed with equal parts of antifreeze. I had the misfortune of trying eucalyptus flavoured chewing gum on a few occasions and it almost killed me. Psychologically. One of the worst things i've ever tasted and smelled. It's like an alien plant trying far too hard to get us to like it.

  • they’ve already proven they have better technology than we do, what else do they have that’s better? Or for that matter what do we have that’s better?

    We have better garlic alioli, they have better escape rooms. We have a better ocean, but they have better feather dusters

  • Don't tell the aliens this, but some people theorise that all abduction stories are actually demonic encounters because of the anal probe aspect. Which is interesting.

  • When shopping, especially in fashion, do you take brand into consideration?

    Jump

  • I get all my clothes from 3 brands:

    • 60% from Marks & Spencers - i actually really like their stuff
    • 15-20% from Fat Face (noticeably more pricey but has many sales and is quite eco friendly) Some nice stuff
    • 20-35% from H&M - very geared towards my age range

    These aren't the cheapest places to get clothes but when i get clothes from other dept stores like Primark, they fall apart really quickly. Every single time. It sounds snobby but i can physically feel the difference between sturdy clothes and something which will fall to pieces soon.

    These are also the places my parents generally brought me to shop at

    Don't wear any of the 'biggest brands' like nike that plaater their logo over everything

  • [researches] asked [participants] to click on areas in the photo that caught their attention.

    Then the different-colored dots make even less sense. And why are there fringes?

    Seems like a seriously flawed study, doezn't it, asking people to point to what's interesting is NOT AT ALL the same as tracking their eyes.

    We could actually track their eye movement by using special glasses. Just call your study what it actually is, ffs... don't confuse the data.

    I said i can't remember any good quotes, (which somehow got 3 upvotes) edited it and started to type out the whole scorpion and frog fable, got bored and couldn't finish, deleted it

    Now that it's morning i can remember some of my favourites;

    • All the world’s a stage, ::: spoiler And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms; And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel And shining morning face, creeping like snail Unwillingly to school. And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier, Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice, In fair round belly with good capon lin’d, With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and slipper’d pantaloon, With spectacles on nose and pouch on side; His youthful hose, well sav’d, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, Turning again toward childish treble, pipes And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion; Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. ::: ~ William Shakespeare

  • How do you decide if you are living a “good life?”

    Jump

  • A good life is something that you notice rather than decide. You probably have to go through hardship to acually appreciate when life is good.
