Ah snap thanks for the reminder.

I know it’s all automated these days, but the mental prep isn’t.

I hope these three journalists have appropriate security for following these threads.

What an interesting carpet pattern. I almost thought they were on a beach.

right in the exhaust pipe 😩

fuck cars

As the saying goes, “the wheels of justice turn slow— when moving forward. they go much faster in reverse.”

I hate this place.

fwiw I don’t believe any of what I just wrote.

It’s just a creative exercise imo/fun worldbuilding

It’s fun to think up thought experiments that explain away the reasons we can’t prove they exist.

Time isn’t linear, we’re just limited to experiencing it that way while we’re alive.

After we die, we experience time differently; in an impossible-to-describe way, but is akin to a book with limitless pages. Your existence is a bookmark in this book, and dying makes you lose your place.

It is possible to re-find your place, but with unfathomable access to unfathomable histories and futures, there is a near-infinite choice of other events and timelines for a ghost to visit and observe and experience.

Coupled with that, there are laws— some sort of physical laws, not arbitrary— to visiting the pages of this book, in that they can only be done in areas that do not cause pages before or after to change dramatically. A ghost is a spec of ink on the page; it cannot write letters, words, or sentences. If anything like this were ever done, we would never know as our minds would simply accept the memory as fact without knowing, or delete the memory of a ghost the way we space out driving on a highway or having to look at our watch a second time.

Lastly, our senses are all on varying spectrums; some of us able to see, hear, smell, experience things others cannot. One of our senses is a sense of time. Some people’s sense of time operates on a scope of a wider caliber than others, experiencing things others cannot, which is why some of us may have experienced ghosts while others haven’t.

edit: I guess it needs clarification based on the downvotes, I don’t believe any of what I just wrote (except the true bits like time not being linear & sense scopes). I don’t believe in ghosts/have never seen one, but I try to stay open-minded for friends who might disagree.

every year snailcat exchanges their shell for one of similar size—

—-or sooner, depending on if you’ve brought home a dope enough box.

At this point I’d be more surprised if he did something with hinges.

Has anyone made a site where it’s two pictures and you have to guess which picture is a Trump appointee, or maybe which one is super right wing? ‘Cause like… —and no, I’m not talking about phrenology or whatever racist science rabbit hole I might be going parallel to— it just feels like the worst ones have the deadest eyes or the most vain of portraits.

I know this isn’t a good example in the headline, but I’ve never seen her before and I could just tell I wouldn’t like her.

I really hate that lady.

ok fuckhead, but make it include all gender-affirming care for everyone, trans or not.

no boner pills, no hair transplants, no leg-lengthening, no plastic surgery to change your appearance. be hypocritical more you rat fuck.

Yeah but that’s what makes it a fun thought experiment imo is thinking of how the simulation accounts for our reality.

If I’m a Sim in The Sims equivalent, my dying results in the exact same outcome it does in The Sims; my avatar is gone and not resurrectable (without mods).

Maybe the Mandela effect is when we’ve moved servers from one that had different DLC.

God/Jesus/all prophets was just the admin visiting.

Ghosts are bugs in the code only visible to some of us because we have the residual DLC files that weren’t properly removed.

We can’t see far into space because the draw distance is short.

Well I accuse Trump of being a pathetic piece of shit.

Three baps of the paw should do it.

Ew, DailyMail? On the one hand the tabloids sure knows how to drive engagement, and I like to encourage engagement on Lemmy to help it grow…

…on the other hand, ew DailyMail.

Watch another plague breakout just so they have an excuse to wear them again 😩 (not that the first one ever ended)
