Weird things that pop in your head

[DoubleF]

Anything with relatively random numbers that I need to look at, my mind wonders what the odds are that it will end in a 0, 5 or if the numbers are a palindrome.

Gas prices at the pump, receipts, elevator floors, serial numbers, lottery balls, dates, license plates etc.

Rounding to the nearest nickel for getting change back doesn't trigger this though. I'm not sure why.

In addition to erosion (thanks Fuzz) you could also add:

1. lack of an atmosphere on the moon means more objects strike it than earth, therefore more craters.

2. oceans on Earth also absorb impacts. This does not happen on moon.

3. plate tectonics on Earth act to recycle the Earth's surface and thus remove older craters. The moon does not have this.

1) Wouldn't it have been amazing to be Uday and Qusay Hussein? You just drive around and point to women and have them delivered to your palace and have giant orgies (consensual orgies)

2) How amazing it will be to have the matrix in the future. Just plug in and have a threesome with whatever celebrities you want or your wifes friends, whatever. Want to Eiffel tower Paris Hilton with Bill Clinton circa 1994 Bill and 2002 Hilton? In the White House?? Go nuts! Want to raw dog a 1940's celebrity in their prime? Sure, why not?

And this is why women find you gross.

This is the internet. Everyone knows there are no women on the internet.

My honeymoon in Maui was really bad for this, we were on the 30 something floor. Incredible view. I wanted to take off like a bird.

I'm pretty sure the tallest buildings on Maui are only ~12 stories

Sometimes I think I should be worried about.

I figure that if any of this nonsense actually happens then screw it, its meant to be.

We're all nuked by solar flares? Your fallout shelter isnt going to help you.

Super Volcano? Ditto.

Tsunami that somehow clears the Rockies? God clearly disapproves of us and its over.

Zombie Apocalypse? Bring it on.

Sometimes theres just things you cant prepare for. You need a little more Carpe Diem in your lives.

I'm not sure thats true. Or you're hanging out with the wrong women? And probably the wrong men.

When men speak honestly about their inner most sexual desires its rarely poignant. I'm not ashamed to say that I'd love to live in a world with a matrix machine where I could have realistic orgies daily with whoever I wanted consequence free.

There used to be, before somebody went and made it all gross.

Alright man, you do you.

The steps to my home can probably be unscrewed and kicked off in about a minute or two. This might be useful information to keep in mind in the event of a zombie apocalypse.

Zombies would have a difficult time getting around a random 4 foot height gap... right?


In the event of a zombie apocalypse, I think Calgary/Canada turns to home made harpoons and spears as the weapon of choice. It really seems like it would be the most practical weapon to fabricate en masse. It would have distance, be of a reasonable weight and materials should be easily available.
1. Cut off a hockey stick blade.
2. Slightly splinter tip and insert a typical kitchen knife.
3. Reinforce via melting, gluing, duct tape etc. as necessary the knife into place
4. Tape the stick as necessary using hockey tape.


Could a post apocalyptic summer camp for adults and kids alike be a viable business idea? Have an acreage (or rent acreages that are ok having constructed things left behind) that's completely off grid and self sustaining. Typical survival stuff, but also teach construction, smithing, electronics (maintenance, survival hacking, communications, power) etc. Sorta like... an above ground vault idea from Fallout.

I’d keep the hockey stick blade. But fashion it into a sort of sickle with hockey skate blades. The other end would whittled to a pokey/stabby instrument.

But are you a little ashamed to express how amazing it would be to be people who use torture like a Sword of Damocles to get some orgy action?

Hint: Saying yes because you're terrified for your life and the lives of your family just might not be consensual.

I was taking with a guy who scrambles at a much higher level than I do about his near death experience on mount Northover. On the block he got of course and had much more difficult unroped moves than he expected and got to the point where he was exhausted just trying to hang on. A fall meant death. He said at one point is mind was telling his body just to let go. He figures that some kind of instinctive fight or flight response was trying to tell his body to eliminate the pain of hanging on. He fought through the urge to let go and reversed the move and got out of danger but said after he understood why people who end up just appearing to let go.

Wow, that is heavy incel territory you’re wading through there.
