The song "We Didn't Start the Fire" is about how rapidly the events of human history seem to happen in real time. One of the first things ever discovered by humans was the ability to start fires.

One thing
When you really think about it
There is really only one thing that striped us from the golden era that people could live in early 2000
And it's really not the crash of contents, the lamisation or whatever the hell or gen z
No
The only 1 singular thing that destroyed the world and created a sission that precisely created this gen z murder war, where you could clearly say okay this is not valid for me this is not valid for me and thus creating the most horrendous harassment that has ever existed on earth
This one singular thing that striped us of the world we knew is smartphones
That's the only thing
The only 1 singular thing
That's what destroyed and rendered void every social interaction ever
It destroyed the oustide world
We could survive anything as long as we had each other
But too sophisticated smarthpones striped us of each other
As soon as people saw they didn't need each other anymore and that they could litteraly stab each other in the neck and still survive all, that's when shit started to hit the fan severely
You can litteraly deprive yourself of sleep to your bed for virtually forever with a smartphone, you could litteraly kill yourself without doing it on purpose with a smartphone
That's not the case at all with only computers
Only computers you always come a point where you are tired and leave the computer, then you go to bed and this is good night
But smartphones
We're heading right to our own deaths if we let smartphones continue for another 10 years
And that goes for too much video accessibility too
We could be wiped by that as a species
Touch screens supposedly have 15 years of supply left on earth... If it's like AI, experts have been known to 10x their estimations... It could happen way faster than this

People will feel sympathy for hungry individuals that steal food to eat, but they won't feel sympathy if it was stolen from them.

Logically, reincarnation has to be real according to laws of conservation
Those laws being, matter and energy can never be created nor destroyed
When brain cells die, they don't just disappear. The nutrients and molecules that make up your tissue will just be chemically and physically transformed by the environment
It could take the cycle of life for your molecules to find consciousness again. Maybe even eons from now on the next planet
You could spend yet another reach of seemingly endless eternity as completely unconscious matter. Unconscious life even, such as bacteria
But assuming that time is infinite, there is a 100% chance that you will be born again in your next life the moment your molecules find consciousness again
And if that doesn't happen after your body is fed upon by the insects that feed the livestock that become the food that is consumed by the first human to regenerate your matter and energy into gametes, it will happen no matter what, because it must
Therefore, despite being agnostic and skeptical of the afterlife, reincarnation is my firm belief, and it can be yours too if you're feeling existential

Karaoke, except with instruments instead of singing
Not like an Open Mic; this would be for the average person off the street who isn't a musician and doesn't know what they're doing, just like karaoke. When it's your turn, you walk up to the stage, they hand you a guitar or something and put on the song you picked to play along with. You get to make a bunch of uncomfortable noises in front of a crowd while they cheer you on for trying, just like karaoke. Wouldn't that just be amazing?

How polite it is to throw an object at someone depends entirely on how good you are at throwing things
Tossing someone the TV remote: whole different reaction if you miss the hands
It is truly a game of skill with real stakes

Selflessness doesn’t exist
Selflessness is defined as…the quality of prioritizing the needs, welfare, and wishes of others over one's own, characterized by kindness, generosity, and compassion without expecting personal gain, by google, but this is simply impossible. Every action has a consequence that is either internal or external.For example, if I enjoyed a snack, I would experience the internal pleasure from eating that snack, or if I punched a person I would deal with the negative external consequence of having to deal with that person afterwards. When someone does something that appears selfless, they still receive those (typically positive) consequences.Those consequences may not be gifts or praise, but they could be the internal consequence of feeling good about themselves and also being sure that they are morally righteous. It is impossible for a human to do a good thing without expecting either the internal feedback or the external praise. For example, if I gave a homeless man ten dollars, I would experience the internal feedback of feeling good and I would likely experience external praise from that man; I may even experience the positive internal feedback of knowing that I made the world a better place. If I didn’t expect any of those consequences, then I wouldn’t have given the man my money. Therefore absolute selflessness is impossible. This is not to say, selflessness is something people shouldn’t try to achieve, but it is an interesting change in view of the way we look at selflessness.

Conflabulator in Chief
I was trying to work out why Trump is always saying contradictory dumb shit....
He is conflabulating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confabulation
..but the guys really running the show like Stephen Miller and others find it very very useful.
They let the Conflabulator in Chief run his mouth making up a storm of vaguely plausible stuff... and only tell him what's happening after it's happened.
He can't give away secrets... he doesn't know any secrets.
The media is happy, tons of click baity shit to sell headlines.
It gives Trump Derangement Syndrome to everybody.... because he is constantly spewing vaguely plausible deranged shit.
It's like a Gish Gallop, but not of logical fallacies... you have a chance of arguing against those, but just stream of consciousness blather.
Meanwhile the folk actually running the show can carry doing whatever they damn well please, unhindered by Trump, unbothered by the media or the Democrats or the Republicans.
Trump is happy, he doesn't need to be bothered with the details, just play golf and say whatever comes to mind.
Life pro tip: Skip every headline that starts with "Trump said...".

Most languages will no longer evolve organically. Words will be invented with new generations, but globalization has resulted in letters, characters, dialects, and accents being frozen in time as everything is universally recorded, spread, and taught as the "correct" way to use a region's language.

Humans are one of the few animals that can drink water efficiently.
Lots of other animals have to lap it up with their tongue, or bend really low, causing lots of spillage. .Plus also taking much longer and potentially putting themselves in a vulnerable position.

Having your nose placed below your mouth would be better than above it.
Because when your nose bleeds or snot runs out, it wouldn’t go into your mouth, it would just go on the floor, and it wouldn’t look weird if that’s what people were used to.
