Eraserhead is a terrible movie.

Has somebody already posted the "r/im14andthisisdeep" comment yet?

This "shower thoughts" dump has an acceptable ratio of curious thougths vs things that are just a pretentious dumbing-down of phenomena

Unlike most of the kind, so kudos.

I dont know about the "where are you" being a recent thing. What about kids getting lost in malls and the parents go "Billy, where are you?"

The future is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.

The "Where are you?" thing predates cell phones. 1988, miss curfew, call home,
SpicyLava
"WHERE ARE YOU" is how your parents answered the phone!

Always upvote Eraserhead.

I'm no scientist. But if my dog's name is what he responds to. Then I'm pretty sure he named me "bark".

assuming dogs think in words is also kind of lame

next time we go visit and I basically told him it might never happen if my dad dies. He was totally shocked but I was like "what other >

Mortal, vulnerable, powerful, important and insignificant. You're being confronted with things that highlight the paradoxical nature of life

I wish I could upvote you more than once for this.

Life ... is. It needs not be more or less than that. The important thing is what we do with it in the meantime.

Woah dude...you're like, complex and stuff
slugonion
Dat!
KZordTheBestZord
I didn't like that at all.
vintagebroad
That is what was great about it!
angryaardvarkateanappleaptly
In regards to #4, the entire electromagnetic spectrum outside visible light. We don't have to organs to detect radio waves.
mineovermatter
And yet,we somehow are aware of,detect, and use them!
CliffyWeevil
vintagebroad
Eraser Head! I loved that movie.
dahlitheweiner
Yeah, that movie was pretty crazy, but good crazy.
jzoup
This is an exact copy of the same post from yesterday
HIPHOPABS
Yeah but I did not see it yesterday.
GBMaker
A theory about #4 is that at some point in our evolution, we DID develop an organ that perceived more. It was incompatible with survival.
BSingleReadytoMingle
Look up David Eagleman's Ted talk. We are already trying to incorporate other animal sense that we lack
DystopianReality
#7 is wrong. Only the person making a landline call had to know where the other person was. "Where are you?" was common before caller ID.
TobySomething
Also, you might not know someone's address within a city. Or you could be a telemarketer and have no idea where they were. POKING HOLES!
Millsslslsls
#4 is kind of a a 'no shit Sherlock', that's why we built instruments to detect the things we can't.
FredaFelcher
Yes this bothers me every time I see it. What if I called my wife from a gas station and told her my car broke down.
FatForYou
Also people have probably written that in letters
PedanticGonkDroid
Yeah, and lemme tell y'all about radio
Hotsteamingdeuce
"I'm calling from a payphone on a deserted street corner on Chesterfield, Iowa. Geez, I miss you so much."
pokiebutt
Also walkie talkies happened before cell phones
FedericoAstica
Also, public phones.
FraudulentPepsi
At least half of this list is wrong. I have a feeling someone thought too hard here
Frazzanazz
Yea. Even before phones and other communication devices. Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet features the line 'where for art thou'.
Brainius
#1 is wrong too technically... Just travel closer to the speed of light for a while :)
varsipieru
Like hawks are able to see urine tracks left by rodents.
Sugarcrotch
I'd rather not have that ability
DisgruntledFerret
Yeah, I feel like public restrooms are already bad enough.
Sugarcrotch
lol ya you dont need hawk vision to see those

Its because their eyes extend a bit more into the UV-wavelength; which urine reflects more.
varsipieru
True, not really new organ required.

The "life flashing before your eyes" one really fucked with me the other day. As if I don't deal with existentialism enough already.
BSingleReadytoMingle
Eh it's a stupid concept
AlphaBulblax
I think about stuff like that a lot, then I just say "Fuck it" and play Overwatch or something.
TsunamiJohn
If your life flashes before your eyes when you die, you never really die. It will always flash when you reach that point. An infinite loop.
NeverWithoutMyMoleskinePocketNotebook
I've thought about that a lot, even had dreams where I did exactly that.

acunninglinguist
Mine has gotten a lot worse since doing LSD. Now I wonder about these kinds of things constantly. Hearing my name whispered faintly when >>
hmmmfascinating
That's the beauty of the trip...makes you see thru time. You are not alone... I too hear that faint whisper.
JaxTheSpaceCat
Me too... I think about the idea of reality and what's real anymore
reters
If you got any worries PM me. I've been there. Take a break from stuff for a while is my advice haha.
acunninglinguist
I have only touched weed a handful of times since. Even that's too intense for me now.
reters
Yeah if you smoke while tripping it really brings it back on the next few times you smoke. Try meditating it will help to calm your mind.

"Never without my Moleskine Pocket Notebook"?
NeverWithoutMyMoleskinePocketNotebook
Yup. Moleskine notebooks are marvelous. I carry and write in mine every day, literally sleep with it next to my head
NeverWithoutMyMoleskinePocketNotebook
Moleskine is a brand, French for mole skin. They're modeled after an iconic style of notebook that a lot of famous writers and painters used

nobody is around, wondering if it's my family trying to wake me up from a coma or something.

AnaCadabra88
But if we can't see it, does it matter?
AFelineMassofEyes
If humans were a colorblind species, we'd have eyes, but still be ignorant of colors.
shankycat
Not really. Not in the sense that color is "out there" in any real sense. Color is a creation of the human mind. The experience we have
shankycat
of "color" may as well be triggered by physical waves, and "seen" by our ears. In fact this is so for individuals with synesthesia.
HIPHOPABS
It's also (partially) why we don't experience 5th and higher dimensions.
Flyndaran
Because they don't fucking exist would have been my first guess.
CarnivorousSwan
Here's a thought though, what if you were born unable to detect any of the senses at all, what would be the state of your consciousness?
shankycat
Probably similar to deep sleep. Or hallucination. But awareness itself is infallible, and equal for everyone. You can test this by
shankycat
observing whether or not you have been "half-aware" of anything. For example, your ear is plugged up: are you FULLY aware of a muted sound,
shankycat
or are you HALF aware of a normal sound? Like wise, when things get hazy when you are falling asleep, are you 100% sure things are getting
shankycat
dimmer to your senses, or do you have "partial" awareness that your senses are dimming? If so wouldn't you have to say that you are not sure
LadyStoneheart1
well yeah, the first example I thought of was infrared radiation, if we could see those wavelengths like we do the color spectrum...woah
Hendlton
As if hunting wasn't already unfair.
Fenriswaffles
Well kinda depends, if you process more wavelengths you'd either need to have WAY more brainmatter devoted to processing it, or process 1/2
Fenriswaffles
certain parts of the spectrum with much less precision, so its a trade-off
