If you're signing your name in wet concrete, there's no rule against back-dating it

True, there's technically no rule against lacking dignity.

What can I say? I'm a wildcard. I live for kayos (?)

i found this on reddit and thought it was interesting.



“As incomprehensible to us as airplanes are to ants.”

I like this phrase. An ant could be out in your yard when a jet flies over and not recognize the jet as a distinct part of the environment, much less identify as something artificial.

I wonder if there are aspects and characteristics, or even objects, in the universe that we are simply unable to comprehend in any meaningful way. There are questions we will never be able to answer because we can never know to ask them.
This is covered in The three body problem.

Its pretty crazy that we zoom down roads at 80mph in a metal tube with no control over what other people are doing...we just assume everyone knows the rules (merging/passing/etc) and somehow it works (mostly).

I always think about this when people are afraid of doing normal crap. I'm like, we are having this conversation while you are driving 80 with a coffee in your hand, meanwhile some ding dong is coming the other way just as fast scrolling instagram. Driving is so insanely dangerous and we don't even think about it that much.

i think its some kind of invincibility fallacy where you're like "eh, i can slam on the brakes or swerve to save myself. I am in complete control of my own destiny"
