How transwomen/transmen dream

Men dream as male character, women dream as female character how do trans persons dream then? Trans men as men?? Trans women as women??

It's disturbing how we as a society are okay with ad companies weaponsing psychology

So many people that take psychology courses end up working in the advertisement industry because that’s where the jobs are if you have a psychology degree. Very few people sit back and think about the implications of the scientific study of the mind being used by companies to distort peoples perceptions and make them buy...

The key to eternal life and never dying is to stay in the living room. Don't leave the living room.

Pro-biotic and anti-biotic are both considered good things.

Prank calls don't really exist anymore with caller ID and everyone sending unknown numbers to voicemail.

I was listening to a Weird Al song about prank calls and realized you can’t really do them anymore now. Also it was funny that he mentioned dialing 7 digit numbers instead of 10

NASA remotely reprogramming Voyager 1 also means that aliens can reprogram all of our satellites.

The existence of Sloths implies the existence Wraths, Lusts, Gluttonies, Prides, Envies, and Greeds.

AI is like a hammer

Any tool can be a hammer if you use it wrong enough....

Dinosaurs wouldn't be that popular if they were small like dogs

Alternative title: Dinosaurs wouldn’t be that big if they weren’t that big

Gloves should be a requirement to keep in a glove box.

Instead of only voting for one candidate we should be able to upvote or downvote each candidate

It would be great to be able to vote for every candidate in an election instead of only once and you can decide to upvote, downvote, or not vote for any candidate. This way you never “throw away” your vote and extreme/hated candidates can be downvoted so if im not a fan of any candidate but one is particularly awful I can...
