The concept "time" is the cause of lots of irritation, anger and regret.

Of course not all of it. But the people in the Traffic jam? Irritated because they're going to be late or because they're spending too much time standing still. Sad because the weekend is over? That's because time made it go away. Do you feel you're not enjoying life and time is slipping away? That's right, time makes you feel this way. But does it also make you happy? Would you be less irritated or would you have less regret when time stood still? I don't know.

city planners must reserve enough space for streets - not for lanes, but for other things

i think that it’s important to reserve enough space to streets. not to build lanes, but to build cafes and seating banks and trees there. it’s a typical problem of cities that they figure out that there’s not enough space to build trees, bike lanes, etc. after the houses are built. better reserve space first.


this isn't really a showerthought but more of a general opinion, but i'll post it here anyways because i don't know where else to post it. (pls tell me if there's a better community to post it to instead)

We're just bags of bacteria and our main purpose is breeding them.

Just thought this after the made of worms post.

What are the worms full of? Bacteria. Our gut bacteria is vital so are we eating so they can process it for us or are we eating to feed them?

Lots of these bacteria probably exist without us. We can't exist without them but we do make a very nice house where they can live. So they keep us around.

Hopefully our bacterial overlords won't rise up against us any time soon.

If we live in the simulation, the admin is probably playing as one of us

Let me ask one question: If you had your own world at your disposal to play with it like a god, would you stay aside for eternity, or would you jump in to stir some shit up? When I play SimCity, or Worldbox, or other sandbox, I always get bored and start dropping all sorts of calamities. I'm telling you, he's either going full VR as Donald Trump or maybe Mark Zuckerberg, or he opens dev console and makes plague with transmissibility set to 9999. Except he'd never called it COVID. More like 'Rectal_Intruder_6969'.

[spoiler] In The Boys I think they handled supe invulnerability wrong.

When Truculent got blown up by c4 it shouldn't have torn him to shreds. The explosion should have destroyed all his insides and momentarily expanded his invulnerable skin like a balloon, which should have contracted to a boneless sack of goo. At least that's how I would have done it. Maybe they thought of that and decided cleaning up the mess had more comedic effect.
