How I navigate Twitter, ignoring the politics.

@ohanxiety I try not to annoy anyone anymore.

@stats_feed *Morgan Freeman voice* "The rapture begins in 30 years, you have until then to sort your lives out, repair the planet, stop fighting and maybe you'll be saved." They say a utopia isn't possible but I gotta bet this would have some effect.

If you could telephathically say something to all 8.2 billion people on earth, what would you say?

@Matt_Pinner It's awfully steep for what I think it's intended for so I don't know, seems like a death trap.

What is this for? Correct answer deserves $6500

@Matt_Pinner I see a clown

What do you see ?

@thedarshakrana Ai patterns in this nonsense tweet. At least write it yourself.

Your brain uses more energy during REM sleep than when you’re solving calculus. Scientists studying consciousness during dream states discovered something that breaks our basic assumptions about where “you” actually exist when your eyes close. During deep sleep, the electromagnetic patterns in your brain don’t just change. They synchronize with quantum field fluctuations that operate outside normal spacetime constraints. The neural networks that generate your sense of self start resonating with frequencies that have no known source in physical matter. Think about what that sentence actually means. Your consciousness during dreams operates on wavelengths that don’t originate from your neurons. Something else is generating the signal your brain is receiving and amplifying during REM cycles. EEG readings during lucid dreaming show brain activity that corresponds to perceptions of events, locations, and interactions that have no connection to sensory input from your physical environment. You experience conversations with people who aren’t there, navigate landscapes that don’t exist, solve problems using information your waking mind never learned. The traditional explanation was that your brain fabricates these experiences by randomly firing synapses and creating dream narratives from memory fragments. But the energy consumption data doesn’t support that theory. Random neural firing should use less metabolic energy than conscious problem solving. Dreams use substantially more. Your brain is working harder during sleep to process experiences that aren’t coming from your physical senses. That energy has to be going somewhere. Recent studies of people who report detailed out of body experiences during sleep show that their brains exhibit quantum coherence patterns typically only found in superconducting materials at near absolute zero temperatures. Somehow, warm, wet neural tissue is behaving like a quantum computer operating at impossible temperatures. The researchers theorize that consciousness functions as a quantum field that normally interacts with your brain but isn’t generated by it. During waking states, sensory input from physical reality dominates and masks the field interactions. During sleep, when sensory input drops to nearly zero, the quantum field signals become the primary source of conscious experience. Your dreams are transmissions. What you experience as “you” during sleep may be your consciousness interfacing directly with information structures that exist in quantum dimensions adjacent to normal spacetime. The reason dream logic feels internally consistent despite being physically impossible is that it follows the consistent rules of whatever dimension you’re actually operating in. This connects to reports from every culture throughout history of receiving important information through dreams. Scientific discoveries, artistic breakthroughs, prophetic visions, encounters with deceased relatives who provide verifiable information the dreamer never possessed. If consciousness temporarily relocates during sleep, those experiences stop being mystical and start being… data. The implication is…Death might not end consciousness so much as permanently relocate it to the same dimensional space you visit temporarily every night. We’ve been assuming consciousness dies when the brain dies because we assumed consciousness was produced by the brain. What if the brain is just a temporary interface device?

@Age_of_Greed @killashilla22 @Geese532432 @borbaey @soigomaa 😂

@killashilla22 @Geese532432 @LegitHyperbole @borbaey @soigomaa You continuing to argue this makes the expression "there are none so blind as those who refuse to see" so apropos that it *hurts*.

A riddle from 1688 goes: "If a man born blind can feel the differences between shapes such as spheres and cubes,if given the ability, could he distinguish those objects by sight alone?" In 2003, the riddle was solved when five people had their sight restored through surgery. They could not.

@Oceanbreeze473 About a quarter the way down.

I need an expert opinion. Do you take slices from the middle until the 2 ends meet, or do you pitch the first one and drill your way down? Why?

@lovedropx The Mist 2007.

Can u suggest one?

@7inchesofAUTISM @happyfuncool @Battle__Bush @killashilla22 @Geese532432 @borbaey @soigomaa You obviously can't see the problem here, pun intended.

@happyfuncool @Battle__Bush @killashilla22 @Geese532432 @LegitHyperbole @borbaey @soigomaa They do as soon as they open their eyes and start receiving vision, are you dumb?

Is this true 😅

@7inchesofAUTISM @34hxty @slutDADvengence @killashilla22 @Geese532432 @borbaey @soigomaa How log did take you to learn what you're seeing as a baby? How many times were you wow'd by something new as a child and didn't understand what you were seeing? Try putting yourself in the position of someone who's never had those many years to learn.

@LegitHyperbole @34hxty @slutDADvengence @killashilla22 @Geese532432 @borbaey @soigomaa I can juggle. Can't play musical instruments though. Not related. These are fine motor controls. Gross motor control is what gives texture of objects in your hand

@34hxty @7inchesofAUTISM @slutDADvengence @killashilla22 @Geese532432 @borbaey @soigomaa Exactly. @7inchesofAUTISM Try to juggle a few balls or play an instrument you've never played and see the effort it takes to get your hands and eyes working in unison. Now imagine you're blind and have never seen shapes before and you kinda get the point. It's robably way harder.

@7inchesofAUTISM @slutDADvengence @killashilla22 @Geese532432 @LegitHyperbole @borbaey @soigomaa You've always had use of your hands and fingers and understand the relationship between how things look and how they feel. Touch and visual stimulus are totally different it's only through experience you can put them together.

@Thebestfigen The only problem is they didn't fall towards the roof.

Give these guys an Oscar.

@fiona_iverson Why would she selfie herself cleaning her teeth 😐

Comment the first thing you thought.

@RemcoHelsloot @Eman_8282 No it's not, it's all starch and bad for your digestive system.

@Eman_8282 Nr 1 is the healthiest.

@Eman_8282 10

@killashilla22 @borbaey @soigomaa Think of it in computer terms. Eyes are sensors, the brain is the operating system, the brains software is updated through using those sensors and then learning. There is no software installed for those eyes by default, the brain won't make sense of anything at first, even light.

@LegitHyperbole @borbaey @soigomaa So Helen Keller can write 14 books deaf and blind but 5 blind people couldn't tell you what the difference is between a box and ball is and you believe them? Alright...

@killashilla22 @borbaey @soigomaa They've never used their eyes before. 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️

@borbaey @soigomaa So, you think your fingers could differentiate between points and corners, but your eyes couldn't? Hmmm,....

@killashilla22 @soigomaa Try putting yourself in the shoes of someone seeing something the first time and how'd they'd even make sense of it. It would be like some wild hallucination, they'd have no idea what anything is and everything they'd have learned would have to be matched again to sight.

@soigomaa This is the stupidest shit I have heard in a while. A blind person can learn that a sphere has no vertices or edges. As well as learn that a cube has 8 vertices and 12 edges and EASILY figure out which is which when sight is restored. My 1st grader knows about vertices.
