Your pointless thoughts & observations

By pour-over I don't mean anything fancy, just pouring hot water over your grounds instead of having a machine do it. It's the way my maternal grandparents made coffee, hardly a "scene".

yeah hario single pour over with a goose neck kettle has by far the easiest to best tasting ratio of all the options. French press is trash. the mud, the cleaning. moka pots are great, still takes more time and there’s cleaning. I once did the math on how much I spend on to go coffee every year and could have bought a damn gaggia

Yeah, sorry. There are a lot of these guys around nowadays.

Anyway, I like to make Turkish coffee in a little copper kettle thingie every now and then, sweet and weird and so so muddy, but the "mud" falls to the bottom. It's more of a desert than a cup of coffee though. Sounds like the French press you've had has been made with too finely ground coffee? The grounds are supposed stay in the pot, and you just rinse it out with water...

Oh yeah, pour over has been my main method since highschool... though I never knew that was what it's called.  To me it was just "I'm making coffee."  Moka pot's been a new addition to my life, and the quality of my morning cups have been ultimately more satisfying.  It's really just a big espresso though.

we are travelling through what you can kind of think of as still space at over 1 million miles an hour. thats pretty fucking mental. imagine if some kind of quantum accident happened where the earth became trapped by the dimensions within a vacuum and the earth just stopped dead from a speed of 1 million miles an hour. 

Everything not firmly attached would fly off the Earth and into space, continuing to travel at million miles/h, eventually hitting another lucky planet and inseminate it with their DNA. The life cycle continues

The general concensus on evolution (as I understand it) is that all species share a common anscenstor as in all species on earth are branches of the same tree. Something that has been nagging me about this is the following...

Be it that either life was created here or came from eslewhere shouldn't there reasonably have been several instances of that occurring not only geographically but during time? My point being, shouldn't there be evidence of species being branches of several different trees? is there evidence of this? and if not... isn't that incredibly odd an improvable?

Well nothing is proven so far and the question of origins of life is still here. However, the primordial state were simple elements joining into complex compounds. Initially there was only a chemical evolution with the basic elements which eventually formed first biological monomers, with carbon being the most capable of forming diverse polymers that are able to form cells from molecules. How? I don't know. But there are very plausible theories of self-organization on the atomic and subatomic levels, going up the scales. Like a master-algorithm if you like. This chaotic process could form first simple cells who then went through a biological evolution, which probably eliminated unsuitable cells unable to exist in the current state of Earth's environment. As the Earth's environment gradually changed, cells had to evolve into a greater diversity, but the original different cells also gradually could not adapt anymore. So, there is probably this champion cell....

farts are shitty air

if you can smell something, it's probably little shit particles or something, no? What if you can taste it? Are you eating shit air?

I now half regret breathing in so deeply post flatulence for most of my life

Just means your immune system stronk

22 years since The Simpsons' Hullabalooza episode and i still dont know who Peter Frampton is

gradually become aware of the external forces consuming your energetic potential

slowly recapture it & redirect the energy into your trax (trax being a metaphorical or literal term here)

trax expand beyond the confines of present moment spacetime in which they are contained

ppl sense extradimensional forces being revealed thru yor trax

trax become lodged in the minds of millions

individual ppls imagination-expanded version of yor trax slowly allows some of them to become sentient

trax spread thruout the boundless universes

If lobsters were land animals, would we still eat them? The fact that they have to live in water to survive makes them less creepy and creates a safe distance. If huge spiders from the rain forest were as delicious with heaps of butter on them, would they be in such high demand? I have my doubts, and dare I say, you should too...

The fact that lobsters and crabs and prawns are basically giant dank sea insects makes them ever more satisfying to eat imo

That's like a dispensary closing due to too many taco trucks. 

Movie poster designs are so crappy and bland these days. What was the last good one? That cool Black Swan one maybe?

Umm, you might have heard of a little movie called "Chef" ("Chef")
