Thanks for this! Puts a name to things that I thought only I was dealing with, but looking at this thread apparently/thankfully I'm not the only one.

I've ordered a thousand subs from Subway. When asked I always just say everything on it but this and that. Last week they included mushrooms in the "everything" mandate. I've never before or since had mushrooms on my sub. I didn't even know they existed as an option and I think maybe it was just that once in a lifetime, lightning strikes, subconscious got a short circuit moment. Now every once and while I think...mushrooms...wtf.

Speaking of mushrooms... and jumping off balconies... it's a good thing they had bars on the window in my hostel in Amsterdam.

How often I can randomly look at a clock and it will be some conspicuous time like 12:34 or 3:14.

Along the driving-centric thoughts... “can I take the key out of the ignition while I am driving?” and, “can I throw the car into reverse while driving at highway speed, is there a lockout that prevents that from happening? I guess I shouldn’t try”.

New cars will basically ignore you going into reverse until you get to a lower speed. Old cars though, you're asking for problems.

Sometimes when I'm just puttering around in public I have 2 thoughts.

1) Ok bad example. (edited)
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?

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.

I think most people have a pretty different understanding of consensual than you imply in this post.

Should I dig a bunker and stock it with a few years supplies for the yellowstone super volcano?

I wonder how common the urge to jump to your death is? I get the same urge when at a high elevation and it seems many others do. So odd.

There was that documentary The Bridge about suicides on the Golden Gate bridge. I believe there was some general interview responses about people with no suicidal thoughts previously getting the weird desire to jump when they walked across it. At least I believe it was in that movie, I definitely heard those thoughts in regard to the Golden gate on some show.

That's not a weird thing, that's a stupid thing. Consensual and sex with the Hussein brothers was probably two words that were ever spoken or thought of.

Similar to the idea of jumping from any high up place, every time I'm on a ship (a cruise ship, a ferry, even that crappy little stern-wheeler that tours around the reservoir at Heritage park) I wonder what it would be like to dive off into the water.

Spoiler!


When they let go, they release their grip, drop, and barrel roll to fly away.
