What if Tyrannosaurus Rexes moved and walked like chicken do?
Bobbing their heads at every step. How ridiculous must have that looked if it was the case.
Just realized that "upside down" means "the up side is down", making it upside down
With the recent issues of transgendered people in sports, why don’t we move some sports over to a weight-class system?
Obviously this won’t work for all sports, but things like football, track, soccer, it would allow for de-gendered team, even allowing athletes with the skills but not the genetically-endowed physical attributes to have a place to play....
If the Spiderman character was invented today, he would be stopping school shootings
Today's date is Dozen/Half Dozen/Two Dozen

Dads sometimes call their kids "lil' squirt" and that's because that's all it took.
Capitalism is essentially alive
I think capitalism can be understood as a living entity, a being composed of billions of smaller beings (people), essentially cells. It evolves (legally and through market innovations), has an immune response (police), and grows and reproduces itself (imperialism). The cells are independent life in their own right, but they...
Dial Tone
Sometime, probably close to 20 years ago, but perhaps more recently, you heard a dial tone for the last time and you didn’t even realize it would be.
If alien set hellfire on all of Israel territories
Imagine the survivors crying about which country to turn to ...and the whole world kept slience and watch....
Silence is Violence, but so is speaking from ignorance, so maybe keep your dumb mouth shut if you don't know what you're talking about.
The Fair Use disclaimer is the "Anti-Piracy" screen of YouTube in the sense that they are both about copyright, but have very different "permissiveness" on distribution of copyrghted matrial
QWERTY Keyboards on a touch screen are still the stupid!
Whether you, like me, beleive that QAZWSX keyboards make far more sense, especially in a machine learning world, I think we all agree a layout designed to circumvent jamming typewriter keys doesn't make sense in modern society on modern devices.
I Am Able To Change My Race, Right?
This is from my last post, many people disagreed with my belief. Since people are able to identify and claim whatever they want to be. I am now a trans white. I do not consider nor identify myself as an African-American woman anymore. I don’t feel comfortable in my skin. I don’t believe this was my right race at birth. So I...
You shouldn't listen when people tell you what they look for in a partner. It's mostly survivorship bias.
In WW2, Allied researchers were trying to figure out how to reduce the number of their planes that were shot down. They found that most of the planes that returned had extensive damage in the wings and tail, so they decided to add armor to the wings and tail....
Using Ubuntu may give off a hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect.
hot take?
CBT as a kink may be an evolutionary adaptation to protect men's most vulnerable (and evolutionarily useful) body part.
I have no idea why it's out there, but I suppose abusing it a bit may help toughen it up enough to ensure you can still have children when an accident happens.
Dating apps are as if someone turned the job application experience into a pastime activity
No one has predicted the end of the world in a while.
Take That, Conspiracy Nuts!
The Earth is round to keep you from walking out of the simulator. If it was flat, there'd be a door or something.
Your body is completely dark except for the 1 molecule outside layer that light hits.
Remember when the body washes contained literal micro plastics and were advertised as such?
The increasing distrust many Americans have in modern medical advances is probably mostly due to our failing Healthcare system.
It's easy not to trust a system associated with charging you $500 for Tylenol. Much easier (and occasionally even safer) to just smell some lavender and hope that helps. Go to an ED and you could just die of a stroke or heart attack in the waiting room or even get run over by somebody who died of a heart attack while driving and...
When historians are trying to credit the invention of generative AI, they may have to hunt down that one social media post that started the "use only auto-complete to finish this sentence" trend.
Later generations will have less attachment to how things were when they grew up because everything changes a lot faster.
Or at the very least less common attachment because they grew up outside of a monoculture.
