Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 613 Joined: 11 May 2008   | I work in retail, and one of my manager's happens to be a complete idiot...but what if she asked me to do something completely reasonable i flat out refused...better yet, I refuse and begin to tear her, everyone I work with, and some random customer apart as a human being, slap someone, kiss someone else and stormed out shouting "Someone give me some fucking orange juice, the Antelope just trampled on the turnips next to my spleen!" ...I mean...would they fire me? Or just want to commit me... |

BANNED Posts: 80 Joined: 18 Aug 2006   | What would happen if I throw a plugged in toaster or hairdryer into a pond? I think we all know the suicide scenario of dropping a dairdryer into the bathtub. Since years I ask myself: How far is the "radius" of "electrified water"? Would it kill all the fish in a pond? User was banned for: Poll: Prostitution. (3 days) |
Muckraker Posts: 228 Joined: 4 Jul 2008   | Would it be possible to blow someone's head up with a very powerful sound.? Will playing "thriller" revive the dead, or raise zombies.... or be used as an anti zombie weapon? If a tree falls on an me in the woods, will anyone care? How is their fate if there is heaven and hell? |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 619 Joined: 8 May 2008  | Does my ex still think of me at all? Will she come back? Even if not as my gf then just as a friend? Because I felt she knew me better than most people did. Can I go two days without working out? Even though they're my rest days? With the amount of times I look over my shoulder when I'm walking alone at night, do you think it would strengthen my neck muscles? If it does then I should alternate the shoulders since I only look over my right shoulder atm. Will there ever be a clinical treatment for heartbreak?(Not that I'm "suffering" from that) If a tree fals in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound? Will there ever be true equality in the world? Could I take on someone who brandishes a knife at me? What is the meaning of life? Do my tastes in music, food, girls, etc make me any less "black" than a "typical black guy"? Will someone kill Mugabe? Am I a bad person because I don't seek to resolve tension with my brothers? How can people say "It would be in your best interest"? My best interest? How can YOU say what MY best interest is? If I won the lottery would I really be able to stay the same and not be consumed by materialism? Why do people kill each other? And even moreso over stupid little things like looking at someone in the "wrong" way. How the fuck do you do that? What's the "right" way to look at someone so that you don't get stabbed to death? I wonder if I could pull off being a "rebound" Why do some people hate me when I've done nothing to garner hate from said people? If Gears 1 was "rushed" as Epic put it and still turned out an awesome game then does that mean Gears 2 will be the second coming of Jesus on a disc? |
Paperboy Posts: 17 Joined: 29 Mar 2008 | ok, I know its a classic of philosophy designed to make us understand that the universe may be a little more subjective than previously thought, but here's the problem with the logic of the tree falling in the forest bit: sound is an operation of physics involving waves, molecular vibrations, and such so not requiring an observer. Now as far as the schrodinger's cat type aspect of without an observer did that tree fall, is the tree there, or the forest for that matter...yes even if simply for the sole fact that that question was asked even under the framework of an entirely subjective universe that tree now exists and fell because you asking the question established the scenario. Then knowing what we know of physics yes it made a sound. |

Not really, it just means some of us are repeat customers A LOT more often than we should be. |
Paperboy  Posts: 25 Joined: 2 Jul 2008 | My crazy thought? What if we all see different colors? like where i see red, you see blue, but because of how we were raised we each believe we are seeing the same color! there is no way to test or disprove this, and it keeps me up at night.[/quote] That is an intriguing question. I've often wondered why it is that two and two equals four, and also if it's cruelty to raise animals in captivity for food, are all vegetable farmers also cruel for making their crops grow in straight lines? Was once told by a vegan i was a hypocrite because i have pet cats and am a meat eater. They stated i wouldn't eat a cat for food,because it was pretty. I pointed out that a cow flap on my front door would be a bit of a security issue, and also asked them if they kept flowers in their house. They said yes, and I asked do you eat them? they said of course not don't be silly... Then walked off in a huff as they spotted how i trapped them, lol |

Paperboy Posts: 25 Joined: 2 Jul 2008 | got another one, slightly matrix flavoured..... What is defined as real? Can you prove conclusively that this is real, and NOT some figment of my imagination? Is someone else's viewpoint as valid as mine? is that person real? Is this all a dream/ nightmare of the indidvidual's own making? that's one for the midnight number 2 visits. Also, If heaven is above and hell is below, what does that make current plane of existence? Not religious, but i believe it would be Purgatory.... Think about it |

I don't get it. And with that said, I thought of something. Is anyone actually stupid? A person i consider stupid may be smart in your opinion. |

No this is the real world. Just go back to being a battery for robots who have been robbed of their sunlight and now have to use humans as batteries. |

Money is useful inside a maintained economy, which is what would happen is we did prevent the inevitable global warming. We would go into another Depression, everyone has very little money and it would be a terrible time to live in. So, the real question is, "Which is the lesser of two evils, Death/Non-existence for our Proceeders, or a dystopian future for them?" Anyway, Has anyone else noticed the similarities between gaming and religion? It's all very disturbing. |

I couldn't resist trying to answer some of these, so here goes. 40. No, but then a typical anything is seldom interesting. Hopefully. No. Family is important but so is being true to yourself. A free man owes no one compliance over his lawful acts. "It would be in your best interest" means "It would be in my best interest; do what I want you to do and I'll be happy." Why would you want to? Materialism is fun if you have lots of money, it only sucks when you're broke. In the town near which I was raised, a man murdered his brother or brother-in-law (I really forget which or exactly how, think he stabbed him) because they were drunk and arguing over the shortest Bible verse. ("Jesus wept" won due to the opposition finding itself dead.) 40% to 90% of everything is crap, including people. See the above. No, on two disks. |

Beat Writer  Posts: 172 Joined: 13 Mar 2008 | There are two possibilities. One is that I am entirely unique - not a person in the world is like me, no one can think my thoughts. I am a unique contributor to the world, but at the same time, no one can really understand me. Empathy is possible, but true sympathy is not. For all my communication, all I'm doing is referencing things other people have felt and thought. We're all different - and because of that, we're all utterly alone. The other is that I'm really not that special. Somewhere out there is my doppelganger - my many doppelgangers, likely. All my ideas have been thought before, some executed, some rejected. We may as well all be one - we're all so similar that everything that is not exactly alike is purely cosmetic. All that's required to make another me is someone with a superficially similar facial geography and a new wardrobe. I have absolutely no hope of being special. Or worse - everyone IS the same, except for me. I am perpetually and irreparably locked from most shared human contact. I am unique, and because of that, I am a monster. I was never meant for this world. Guess what my recurring psychiatric ailment is? If you said "severe depression", you win a prize! (the prize is whining) |

Muckraker Posts: 228 Joined: 4 Jul 2008 | Is it possible that we all have latent superpowers but just don't know how to unleash them? if so how can we unleash them? Why are people afraid of robot overlords when they are limited by OUR intellegence?(unless some one creates GLaDoS somehow) If the cake is a lie, what else is? If duke nukem forever is released, would the world have already ended? CAN we create artificial life? |
Beat Writer  Posts: 147 Joined: 5 Jun 2008 | I often think about the idea of a giant comet striking the earth, big enough to end all life on the planet. Maybe it's because i'm so curious how people will react if a certain, unescapable doom is upon them, that no-one could avoid. |

How the hell is that possible? What the astronaut experiences is acceleration- or directional force (1 G being what we feel standing on the ground on earth), and unless he is going incredibly fast, he will not experience any significant increase of temperature. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 397 Joined: 20 Dec 2007 | The other day I realized something, even if time-travel was possible you couldn't change the past and affect the present because the here and now would technically be the result of all time-traveling. Also when a dog eats cat poop(They all do), and poops it out Is it still cat poop or is it dog poop? |

Boyle's Law I think. The Air is also subject to pressure, as well as his blood vessels.
How do you know it isn't? |

If Chuck Norris died, would people stop coming up with jokes about him, or would they say he killed himself so that he could combat Satan in Hell? Actually, that's prett good. I'm copyrighting it, go away.
Is homosexuality a cure for over-population? This is something that I discussed with some of my friends. I thought it was a pretty interesting idea, and I wrote an article with that being one of the major points on triond.com, and surprisingly not many people found it insensitive, probably because I made the comparison, "...it's just as insensitive to say heterosexuality is a cure for under-population."
