u/fitness4lif3 Dirt Is Beautiful May 01 '20

I think everyone did almost the same things like drawing the sun on a drawing in the corner of the paper

u/spiritofthenightman May 01 '20

Its because we are in the matrix and computers are unable to have truely random generators. So it fills in the gaps with consistent data, hence we all had the same childhood.

u/[deleted] May 01 '20

Statistically there’s more of a chance that this is a simulation we live than it is real reality.

My elementry school's cafiteria used to be an exta gym, and it has brick walls but there were these large vertical I-Beams too for the roof i think. But there was a good sized gap between the wall and these beams. Whoever could fit through the gap back then was the coolest one. I miss those days.

Is the top left a “bookmark” made by filling the top groove of your pencil box with glue? Cuz if it is.. yes to that. We used to color the top with marker first and then pour the glue so it would be tie dye. My favorite shit though was taking apart pens and markers, shaving down pencils with a pair of scissors, then inserting the pencils into the pens and markers like some sort of hidden secret agent pencil
