I wish there was a sloth month
Just a month to celebrate relaxation and not obsessing over the grind. Festivals where people just bring camping chairs and chill together. Companies pandering by giving paid extra time off to employees. And so on.
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 the Spiderman character was invented today, he would be stopping school shootings
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...
The Hyperloop might be a good idea maybe a 100 years from now
HEAR ME OUT BEFORE YOU DOWNVOTE....
The whole concept of a forehead (hairless forehead) is strange.
Why is there no hair? It’s completely surrounded by hair. The entire rest of the head (except parts of the actual face) is covered by hair. Other animals have hair.
I've gone to lots of secondhand stores, but I've never once seen a raspberry beret for sale.
At this point, I’m wondering if there is enough of a quantity of raspberry berets in secondhand stores to identify the kind you would find in one.
The old primary argument against panpsychism has now become the primary argument for it
Panpsychism is the idea that everything is conscious to some degree (which, to be clear, isn’t what I think). In the past, the common response to the idea was, “So, rocks are conscious?” This argument was meant to illustrate the absurdity of panpsychism....
Self-driving cars will never be popular as you can't speed in them.
Given how many people treat speed limits as suggestions, at best, having your vehicle obey the limit would turn some people off of them.
If you look at anything you can probably tell what it would feel like if you licked it, despite you probably never licking it before.
Is "food" a social construct?
Hear me out. There’s nothing innate to an object that makes it “food”. It’s an attribute we give to certain things that meet certain qualities, i.e. being digestible, nutritious, perhaps tasty or satisfying in some way, etc. We could really ingest just about anything, but we call the stuff that’s edible “food”....

Even if god exists religion can't possibly be the way to god
So I thought about this in the shower amd it makes sense to me, like praying and stuff never worked for most people I know, so a direkt link to god gotta be unlikely. That made me conclude that religion is probably fake, no matter if there’s a god or not. Also people speaking to the same god being given a different set of...
Maybe many Lemmy users don't understand "shower thoughts" because they don't shower.
Some of the posts in this community are just crazy out of whack.

Dads sometimes call their kids "lil' squirt" and that's because that's all it took.
22 qr-codes can store the same amount of data as the Commodore 64's RAM.
Remember when it was a big deal if you chose .zip, .rar, or 7z, etc? Now we all have so much bandwidth it doesn't matter.
Getting closer to marriage and approaching your full earthly potential are the same thing (assuming they're done perfectly)
Edit: “getting closer to marriage” is about the whole journey starting from being completely single...
