Your pointless thoughts & observations

Big Think Science

Jeff Goldblum’s constant chin/mouth/forehead touching irks me hard. Real hard.

Is the thinking emoji new ? How did everyone gesticulate their thinking before ? I see it all the time now and I wonder if it's always been there and I never did see it , or if it will be the word of 2018

'hmmmmmm'

ah, the old days of mIRC.

humans should thru eugenics develop the ability to extend wieners thru their pores like tentacles with dangly fanny flaps on them like suction knobs

I told a friend "sentient life is a way for the universe to know itself" like it was a profound original thought. Realized the next day i had merely paraphrased Carl Sagan.

Was on my delivery shift, sitting idle in a parking lot with Aphex Twin cranked up full blast (because I'm one of those douchebags) and this homeless guy approached my van giving the thumbs up and looking generally excited.  He motioned indicating he wanted to know what I was listening to, so I pressed the album cover up to my windshield.  Felt kind of bad because it was "Remixes For Cash", like he really needed a reminder of what he was without.  His face seemed to darken somewhat.  But anyway, he wandered off giving more gestures of approval and then lay down in a somewhat hidden corner of the parking lot to sleep.

This thread is a collection of possible threadstarters that somehow ended up in the same place. I consider it a loss of potential, to be honest.

Also, hows this for a pointless thought: generally bitter in the general banter.

I've thought about starting a thread for thread ideas from people who are too chickenshit to actually start threads.  I'm one of those people.  So many great threads in my head that I just can't bring myself to bring to gen ban.  And by "great" I mean "mostly idiotic".  Those tend to be the best threads tho tbqh.

They do! There's this huge loss of potential. After some mental gymnastics I've come to the conclusion we're missing at least 36 classic banter threads on a yearly basis because of this. At least! Watmm-Jesus wept!

Be careful man, starting amazing threads got me 3 temporary bans and 4 warning points

That immediately raises the question of why we have these warning points at all. As I'm sure those temp bans have been given regardless of your warning points. I have been carrying 3 warning points for years now. Like stamps on my soul. I can't even remember why I got them. They're just there. Like dormant cancer cells.

The most interesting and nonsense thread subjects usually get locked anyhoo

Is standup paddleboarding the dorkiest new sports trend?

 

I mean:

It doesn't really require any skill, so any old idiot can do it

It costs relatively lot of money either in rentals or buying the equipment

It's an impractical way of moving around, how about using a canoe instead?

Generally you need quite specific conditions to do it, like calm waters and a warm weather

You look like a dork standing on a board and paddling around

Just look at this:

 

I just found out there's also SUP yoga now. Oh me lawd.

It was kinda fun. It was nice. You get the feeling you're standing on water. Sometimes people do things because they feel good, not to look cool. I don't think anyone is under the illusion that it's some kind of great sport or a workout, unless for someone who hasn't been active in a while.

Like, chill out once in a while, bruuhhhh.

Also I don't remember it being that expensive so this isn't a defensive response about money. It's okay for people to be dorky.

Mark Morrison's first album is more enjoyable than I ever assumed. Slept on it for 20 years, but whatever. Yes I try, yes I try try try.

Yeah, whatever floats your paddle board. Still looks stupid though.

Pointless thought: why is the place where the river connects to an ocean or sea called mouth of the river? The water is moving out of it, not into it. Would make more sense to call it the asshole of the river.

A river gives, it does not 'take' from the land where it floats.

A river gives no fucks, it takes shit from no one.

I was going to post an image to illustrate this, but the captions that went with all of them mentioned fatalities, so I decided against it.  Proves my axiom tho.

I'm pretty sure most rivers take quite a lot of shit.

Isn't the mouth the place where the river flows from? The mouth of the river drinks the water from the ocean and spreads it around the countryside so people can do their business in it which emanates from the bum.

Does the river's mouth attach to the ocean's anus, like some hydrospheric human centipede equivalent? 

I'd bet in some language at some point people have referred to the mouth of the river as the asshole instead.

Pointless thought: I bet it'd be pretty weird to have a big ole beak on your face. Just regular human, with a beak instead of mouth/nose. Would get in the way a lot probably.

A River Cums Through It

I was thinking, salt is like chorus as pepper is to distortion

nah, salt is like reverb
