    When I drop something on the floor and then blow on it in short soft bursts, it’s suddenly clean enough to consume.

      That explains the miracles. He took on a humanoid form so he wouldn’t frighten their simple minds, and the “miracles” he performed were just him using contemporary alien tech to heal illnesses and turn water into wine. Dude was just trying to help advance humanity, and they killed him anyway.

      Imagine the insane technology we’d have today if the Romans just let him do his thing.

        “water into wine” was a story about sneaking libation in where it was was forbidden. It was more “quarter behind the ear” than actual magic.

          There was a guy named Hero of Alexandria who was alive at the time of Jesus. He was a brilliant inventor, like the DaVinci of his day. He wrote 4 books. The first 3 are about his own inventions and the 4th seems similar but is thought to be a book explaining how other common things worked. In that 4th book he details how a trick “water into wine” jug works.

          This is like Jesus trying to prove who he is by doing a card trick. “Look, I know all the other card tricks are just tricks, but THIS ONE is really magic.”

    We have higher dimensional organs and we can’t see them because, well, they’re from a higher dimension. The soul is one of these organs

      can’t see them

      Wouldn’t we still be able to see them, though? Even if they’re in a higher dimension, they’ll still show up in our known dimensions, even if partially. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be interacting with our body at all.

        I’ve been told my organ has helped hundreds of men and women reach a higher state of being.

        My brain, when I was a professor.

    I am convinced that I will come down with cold/flu if I breath too much cold air. When I walk in the cold, I always wrap a scarf around my mouth and nose. If I don’t, the cold air will give me a sore throat. That sore throat will act as a Petri dish for illness to develop and spread into my lungs or nose.

    I know plenty of medical professionals and all of them tell me that that is not how it works, but I have a datum of proof. In my first year of university, I had a nasty, persistent respiratory infection during the late fall/early winter. To keep my throat warm while it was recovering, I started wearing a scarf and my illness went away quickly. After that, I started wrapping up whenever I was walking to class in the cold and never got sick again.

    I am now used to wrapping my face in the cold and feel wrong without it. When I don’t, it seems like I am more likely to come home with a scratchy throat. I can definitely say that many of my flus start in the throat (though it could just be that the first flu symptom I tend to notice is the sore throat).

    The best way to find something you’ve lost is to buy another one, then you’ll find the original.

    Antivaxxers are chaos cultists who want to share Grandfather Nurgle’s gifts with humanity.

    Sometimes my dead dogs visit me in my dreams. I know they’re supposed to be dead in the dream and I give them lots of pets and belly rubs. Then I wake up feeling great. Yes I’m 99% sure it’s a product of my unconscious mind but sometimes…

    All animals have limited intelligence. Humans are animals, therefore humans have limited intelligence. Take a chimp or a dolphin and try to teach them calculus. Now imagine what realities lie beyond human understanding. There’s a whole epistemological realm of the unknowable out there.

      thats probably why we wont break out of post-fusion tech, if we even get there. let alone generating antimatter which is probably the next step after fusion, or FTL tech. in many franchises it always involve aliens help who surpassed that.

    That if you can’t find something or something doesn’t work, it will continue to be missing/not work until you complain about it to someone, at which point it will start working/show up and you look silly.

    Eating boogers strengthens your immune system.

    I mean, it’s plausible, because the idea of building your immune system is exposure to some of those things. Not trying to invalidate the other methods because those should be a better alternative. Some studies suggested boogers can help.

    The moment you become rich, you will absolutely be contacted by the shadowy ring of other rich people so they can force you in one way or another not to out their pedo ring. Even going as far as assassinating you if blackmail doesn’t work.

    People using genAI without a care came about as a result of the genAI companies making millions of fake accounts across all of mainstream social media and performing the greatest astroturfing ever, in their favor.

    The majority of actual human interaction in the future will be secretly held in spaces run under things like Usenet, I2P, Gopher, etcetera. A way to detect bots/genAI will become a game of whack-a-mole and it’ll help keep these treasures safer than 99% of the internet.

    Anubis ( or whatever it’s called ) becomes a government funded project, with the goal being that government websites are spared from rampant AI bots crashing their sites. The downside is that it would most likely become closed source in order to ensure genAI companies cannot come in and use the source code to break through it.

    Wikipedia joins one of the alternate internet things ( maybe I2P ) and poisons its own services, leaving ample notice of what they’re gonna do, but not where they’re going, to keep safe from the bots. It’ll become a race to find where and when Wikipedia becomes available again. This is more of a firm pipedream, but I hope they do it for their own good.

    Visiting the clear web essentially becomes a crime amongst all tech savy people and you’ll absolutely be casted out of the safe spaces if you venture out of a genAI free Haven.

    Or most likely out of everything, in a decade or less, the clock strikes midnight and once the dust settles, everyone left alive will be afraid when the wind blows.

    Unscientific in a different way, but I think the universe is basically a digestive organ for some impossibly unknowable, incredible higher dimension being.

    Like the big bang is when it feeds or otherwise takes in energy, then as trillions of years pass and entropy takes hold that is it effectively digesting that energy.

    Aliens have quarantined the solar system to prevent contamination of the universe by humanity. They are waiting for us to incinerate ourselves and keeping the other races safe until we finish the job.
