Your pointless thoughts & observations

^this is actually some legit Mandala Effect. And it makes so much more sense to me. Salt = Sea = Blue. Onion = Green

Man, I swear I have a memory of complaining to my mother about the change on the way back from primary school.

Question: Why did you change your packaging for Salt and Vinegar and Cheese and Onion so they're in the wrong colours?

 

Answer: Contrary to popular belief, Walkers Cheese and Onion have always been in blue packets, and Salt and Vinegar have always been in green packets. We don't have a plan to change this, as it's signature to our brand.

eating some plain ruffles right now.  1st time i bought chips in a yeear?

Nasty.

It seems like the amount of alt-right/Trump supporter/Alex Jones fanboi comments & reactions on FB, YT, and elsewhere have dwindled some in the past month or so. And I think there was also an announcement of a "bot purge" throughout social media earlier this year. So maybe it's not just a coincidence.

this track is ominous

hell yeah man

Just noticed I have forehead wrinkles today. 

Watmm posts should have a "like" button.  Sometimes I don't wanna lol, but I still wanna show my appreciation.

Didn't we have that for a while? I thought we briefly had an upvote/downvote function?

we did, it was shortly removed. there is no substitute for a good old-fashioned lol.

What the actual fuck is this shit? (A. it's not my discord channel B. This is the forum chat?)

been bringing my dog to work all week which means i have a bunch of dog treats and the chicken/venison jerky dog treats are starting to look pretty good. 

Sometimes when my mind empties I hear voices and bits of music. Voices I don't usually recognize speaking indistinct non-words, and music that doesn't exist and is not enjoyable. I wonder how common this is.

I always get a rush of lush music when I'm tired as shit, just as I'm starting to fall asleep sitting in my couch or wherever, has come to the point where I go "oh here comes the music again, time to go to bed". It's pretty good, I wish there was some way to record it.

Not sure how many musicians have done this (RDJ has IIRC) but many artists and scientists have attested to using this phenomenon as part of their creative, inventive, and problem solving process.

I think I had a kind of retarded version of that phenomenon hit me this morning.  At the tag end of my dream I was in 7-11 with my ex-girlfriend and her parents.  They were buying her "alligator shoes" which had literal alligator heads that were still alive and biting as the toe of the shoes.  So naturally I gave the crocs my other friend's mouthguards as a safety measure so my ex-gf's feet would remain in tact after trying them on... which I also thought was a hilarious gesture.  Her dad wanted to know the price, so I quipped "probably somewhere between 7 and 11 dollars hur hur hur."  Then I was like "what's the deal with 7-11's being open long past midnight and way before 7am?"  I woke up with the smug assuredness that I should do standup comedy.

I've considered that it's Hypnagogia before, but I'm not sure what happens to me counts as that. It's definitely not directly tied to sleep or sleepiness, though it can happen at those times as well, it's much more common when I'm wide awake. The excerpted parts quoted here sums it up relatively well, though for me, obviously.

Snatches of imagined speech are common. ...typically nonsensical and fragmented... the voices of others: familiar people or strangers. More rarely... music is heard.

Given that it's something that feels like it's ALWAYS going on (as in, I can hear them at any point I want if I can quiet down everything else), has always sort of worried me, and ultimately that's what makes me wonder if it's something different entirely or just a more rare form of the same basic thing as hypnagogia (which btw is a great slumbr release! I forget who that is on WATMM but I've always loved this album and I had to mention it since we're talking about it).

Wish I had lush music happen, mine's always weird and terrible and almost exclusively what I would normally deem as annoying trash. Oddly, there's more and more music that's getting closer to the sounds in my head these days, so I guess I'm psychic? That's definitely it. My mind has been hearing the shitty Soundcloud music of 2020 for the past 30 years of my life :)

Actually, there's been some scientific progress in the last few years in translating thoughts and memories into images by reading the right parts of the brain, maybe they're working on sound as well? It's very much fringe right now, and I'm not sure the science is fully legit, but from the little I've heard it seems to be at least partly real. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/08/japanese-scientists-use-artificial-intelligence-to-decode-thoughts.html

id say around once a week I end up contemplating my consciousness... a la "I feel like I am something trapped behind my eyes, I can't never know for sure that anything or anyone other than this feel exists"

for about 15 mins then I keep on livin'

life is p cool innit
