showerthoughts

Posts would describe bizarre situations people have found themselves in, and commenters would take a stab at what put them there.

More times than I thought likely. 4:20 has happened a few times too.

Am I doing it right?

Literally a shower thought, as I was hanging my shaving mirror.

As people born on February 29th can’t celebrate their birthday on the correct date every year, they are most likely to celebrate it on neighboring days.

Assuming equal amount of people was born each other day, this extra quarter adds to those actually born on February 28th/March 1st, making those days most likely for someone to host a celebration.

If it were real facts we’d just call them facts.

If it were real medicine we’d just call it medicine.

If it were real news we’d just call it news.

My cats fully agree with this assessment.

Each I is a finger, V is the thumb and index. X is crossing your index and middle finger.

These days I have been playing the catalog of the PlayStation 1 and 2 games that marked me when I was young or at the time I couldn’t play: the trilogy of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Rayman, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank, etc… And I realized that nowadays you practically don’t see characters like that in video games anymore.

Just as there was a time when all games were made for children, nowadays it seems that all games are made for teenagers and adults. Even those that don’t seem to be, such as Astrobot, appeal to the nostalgia of the more adult public.

What kind of heroes does my nephew have, for example? There’s Sonic, and it’s something in which we have a connection, but Sonic and other heroes that still remain current, like Mario or Link, are from an era that long predates him and perhaps for him they feel more like a thing of the past, similar to how I feel about Sailor Moon or Mazinger Z, which were heroes of my older siblings and parents respectively.

I don’t know of any heroes that are specifically intended to appeal to young people like my nephew, at least not in a “wholesome” way. Much of what he likes was not made with the child audience in mind, such as Five Nights At Freddy’s or Among Us; and what does, was made for more predatory motives, such as Poppy Playtime or Garten of Banban. The only thing I can think of is Minecraft and… I don’t know, it just doesn’t add up for me.

My nephew doesn’t have a Crash, a Spyro, a Sly to be nostalgic about when he gets to my age.

It’s a little… Bleak…

This advance civilization would probably be still using lead acid or alkaline since there is no incentive to do further. They would even be surprised at us putting lithium in our devices.

People can grow vegetables and simply eat. But bread is way too complicated.

There is a bakers’ dozen of big steps to go from wheat into bread. And multiple special structures needed too.

Same with beer. Wine makes total sense but how do you even invent ale? How are these common foods everyone knows and uses?

I was thinking “imagine if mediveal people knew how to boil seawater and sell salt” and now I spent 20 extra minutes in the shower.
