I just realized how incredible it is that we don't have toes growing out of our ears.
AFAIK it all boils down to the fact that during embryonal development our cells, which at that point were just a blob of undifferentiated autonomous chemical machines, somehow managed to unanimously agree upon the cardinal directions (up-down, left-right, front-back) for future development - and thanks to this, we don’t have...
DNA Testing Would Clear Out the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Pretty Fast.
The fact that we aren’t aware of every process in our body means our brains aren’t fully connected with our bodies.
If we were created then the creators probably put fail safes so we can't see our own code.
Was thinking about this in terms of AI. As we create it we are probably going to put fail safes on it. So it would be reasonable then to assume if we were created the same thing would be programmed in us.
Do kids talk like cartoons or do cartoons try to talk like kids?
There are certain action phrases in cartoons that kids imitate. There’s also a kind of children’s books writer tone to many programs, simplified language, certain ways of explaining things slowly or expressing emotions
The prevalence of touchscreens has probably resulted in a decrease in average fingernail length
I feel like I used to see a lot of women with super long nails struggling to use their touchscreen phones. I’m sure at least some of them have chosen slightly shorter nails to make it easier.
With lab grown meat we could see the advent of ethical cannibalism.
It's probably more difficult for kids to throw house parties nowadays when their parents are out of town due to how accessible security cameras are.
Seems like just about everyone has a video doorbell and/or other cameras monitoring their property. Took it for granted in my youth without even knowing it.
Poop is the original processed food
You could have a natural talent for something you will never attempt
"First they give you the bible, and by the time you've finished reading it, they've stolen all of your land."
Defederation is just another form of censorship
New physical cosmological model
With a mechanism that continually creates matter in the universe we don’t need a big bang. Creation of matter and gravity fields, (net zero) could somehow increase the expansion of the universe. 3d interference pattern of gravitational waves would create rogue waves at specific points in SpaceTime that would create matter and...
Shows like Master Chef and Hell's Kitchen are designed to glamorize low-paying, labor intensive restaurant jobs and recruit people into the field.
Once we can get brain-device-interfaces implanted into us in order to sort of link our brains with a computer/phone, we probably won't get that information as pictures appearing in front of our eyes.
The information would probably be delivered raw into our minds. We’d just know what time it is, what the weather will be, who’s calling us and what the news are saying, without having to process the information.
Parents used to warn their kids that literature would rot their brains. Then it was the radio, TV, and video games. Now it's TikTok.
Socrates bemoaned those young’ns who had the audacity to read their Homer, instead of memorizing it....
"Made with love" or "designed with love" should require by law that no AI was involved in the production/design process.
Post was made with love :*
Cowboys in westerns always have standoffs because the one who draws first attempts murder, to draw second is justified self-defense
Everyone is armed all the time and that’s normal, but to draw a weapon is an overt hostile act. A standoff therefore is a game of chicken because both want to kill each other and you want to draw first to have the highest chance of surviving, but even a bandit will hesitate to add a felony murder charge to their rap sheet. The...
Compared to fountain pens and ballpoints, "Sharpies" are actually the least sharp pen type.
The more you talk with your friend who writes fiction, the greater the likelihood you'll end up in one of their stories or novels.
There are behaviors we stopped doing because of speciation. For each of those behaviors, there is a day in history in which one of our ancestors did it for the very last time.
Steel type Pokémon should not take damage from hail
Our entire existence may be a sort of stable spacetime bubble that can pop at any moment.
Like ants nesting on a river bank, some only live a few days. A colony could live for many ant generations on a riverbank but when a big flood comes their entire world is wiped out.
