  1. Stranger things

    There was a man who accidentally ate that all white mushroom. He was lucky to survive and blogged about the experience. Where he became temporarily paralyzed and hospital medics dressed him in an adult diaper. https://blog.mycology.cornell.edu/2006/11/22/i-survived-the-destroying-angel/
  2. Japan anime crossovers

    Its a hollywood exaggeration to be sure. But so many have spoken on this, I would be shocked if you did not already know the answer.
  3. Why is there so much evil in the world?

    If evolution rewards the fittest. Evil encourages & rewards the polar opposite demographic. If a culture built on evolution elevates the most successful and hard working members of society. Evil rewards the least successful and most lazy members based on privileged status. Evil is essentially anti evolution, anti science, anti fact and goes against the natural order of nature.
  4. Japan anime crossovers

    Anime characters sucking evil into the palms of their hands. Which might parallel certain occult practices.
  5. Modular Homes

    I remember this being cool. Tiny house built on a trailer for mobility. Super adobe / hyper adobe and yurt based designs seem like best low cost permanent options. Search for prefabricated building home on amazon used to yield good results. Not so good anymore though.

    I don't know them. But I do remember them making the above remarks.
  8. New Age Spiritual Sources - Good/Bad

    I think that trend is also occurring. There was a woman in the news called the 100 year old virgin. Who never married and never had sex with a man. She said practically every woman she saw from childhood to adulthood was a victim of domestic abuse. Causing her to avoid men. In less than 100 years, cases of domestic abuse in the USA decreased dramatically. Prior to COVID in 2020 homicide rates in the country were at all time historical lows. We've witnessed significant shifts in our culture and the way we view the world. As well as how we treat each other. To some degree: people have changed. For the better. Although to be fair, it could also be said some nations and regions of the world are regressing and becoming worse over time.
  9. New Age Spiritual Sources - Good/Bad

    Observing the evolution of microchips. Old chips processed 8 bits. Later evolving to process 16 bits. 32 bits. Currently CPU's process 64 bits. This evolution allowed AI chess programs to defeat human players. Human evolution parallels this trend. Humans started out with stone and papyrus tablets. Later evolving to books. Then radio and television. Currently processing even larger volumes of data with smartphones, laptops, PCs. As a result of trends like these, we might expect an explosion of mind.

    Learning this at an early age. Might save me a lot of trouble in the long run.

    Brawndo! The thirst mutilator! ... Incidentally: Farmers in India in the state of Chattisgarh use Coke and Pepsi as pesticides because it's cheaper than pesticides and gets the job done just as well. Pepsi and Coca-Cola strongly disagree that their products can be used as pesticides because they say there is nothing in the drinks that can be used as pest control. But, the Farmers in the Durg, Rajnandgaon and Dhamtari districts of Chhattisgarh disagree and have successfully used Pepsi and Coke to protect their rice plantations against pests. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/side-by-pesticide/

    I think soft drinks in mexico. Cost less than water. If you can believe the logistics and economics of that.

    The secret to vitality and longevity: Dr Pepper
  14. Stranger things

    Wonder if a modern moat. Might deter wild pigs and unwanted visitors.
  15. The dire wolfs of Ecclesiastes

    Their direwolf comeback has a chance of working due to them using CRISPR technology. Which is head and shoulders above old technology used to clone Dolly The Sheep. Rather than resurrect wooly mammoths or direwolves, might it not be better to bring back aurochs or another extinct animal with agricultural and economic advantages:
  16. Pain Managment Techniques

    The one time I got stitches. The doctor sticks the needle into the wound to numb it. No reaction. He goes: "you have good pain tolerance". Shrug. If it is so, I have not the slightest clue how it got that way. Accidental unintentional.
  17. Freedom

  18. Freedom

    The christian bible is filled with thousands of years of God offering wise advice. Those in the bible typically view this wise advice as something carrying little value. God warns them, repeatedly. They ignore the warnings. To an extent those of today are defined by similar trends. Even in the garden of eden there were serpents working to influence peoples minds. If evolution is real and organisms gradually becoming better adapted to dangers of their environment. Then might human history be defined in terms of people better adapting to cope with negative cultural and sociological influences?
  19. Stranger things

    Resembles portuguese man o war. The sting is not as bad as jellyfish. Some advise peeing on the wound but its more like a inside joke / running gag than sound advice.
  20. Freedom

    Freedom isn't defined by geographical borders. Rather the personal development and choices of motivated individuals. Those who invest time and effort in themselves to become independent are usually free. While those who cannot find it within themselves to focus on relevant topics usually never attain a relative degree of freedom. Rather than an exterior conflict. Freedom is more internalized.
  21. Stranger things

    Turritopsis dohrnii, also known as the immortal jellyfish, is a species of small, biologically immortal jellyfish[2][3] found worldwide in temperate to tropic waters. It is one of the few known cases of animals capable of completely reverting to a sexually immature, colonial stage after having reached sexual maturity as a solitary individual. Theoretically, this process can go on indefinitely, effectively rendering the jellyfish biologically immortal,[3][6] although in practice individuals can still die. In nature, most Turritopsis dohrnii are likely to succumb to predation or disease in the medusa stage without reverting to the polyp form.[7] The capability of biological immortality with no maximum lifespan makes T. dohrnii an important target of basic biological aging and pharmaceutical research.[8] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turritopsis_dohrnii
  22. Gematria, Calculation Mem-Samekh-Vav

    Beast in the bible refers to a few different things. 1. Person 2. Nation 3. Army The term beast refers sometimes to a person. The beast upon which the whore of babylon rides refers to a nation. The beast that comes from over the sea, refers to an army from abroad.
  23. Masturbation can be good for the over-50s

    I read that piece in 2009 when it was published. It took more than a decade for the public to accept notions of citrus fruits being a legit treatment for scurvy. Dissemination of information and science are interesting things.
