Witch doctors and other similar titles were probably very autism-heavy professions

I found myself thinking about how nice it would have been to live in a hunter/gatherer village and be the weirdo who spends every day collecting and sampling plants in case they have some cool hidden properties just to end up being a respected healer because you found one that alleviates back pain or something and nobody else has any better knowledge about healing. You might end up trying to cure cancer by rubbing dandelions on it because you once tried it on a painful stomach it got cured in a couple of days but who cares, it's the best they got so might as well go for it and hope that placebo does the trick.

Thanks to AI, being a real musician will be like being a real blacksmith

17 Upvotes

There are actual blacksmiths still working in the modern world - furnace, tongs, hammer, anvil and all. But it's a very niche thing. With AI, being able to actually play an instrument will become much the same. At least people who buy something made of metal don't call themselves blacksmiths, unlike people who fart out music on Suno or whatever and claim to be musicians.

The same thing applies to any of the arts, be it music, painting, or writing. The one advantage musicians still have, at least for now, is they can ply their trade live. There is no audience of drunkards paying to watch someone paint a picture down at the local bar.

Nonbinary people should be able to turn off their periods

Idk kinda silly thought, but just imagine a biologically female nonbinary person being able to turn off their period like a superpower. It would save us so much pain

Car playground for checking out new cars

Basically the title. I wish there was a place where you could go and look at a car you were interested in with no salesman, no buying pressure, none of it. I don’t even care about driving the thing, I just want to sit in it and press the buttons and see how comfy they are. That’s all

As someone who grew up in a family that pops up without warning it's kinda funny to the different expectations and boundaries people have

This girl is going viral on TikTok for saying it's rude to ask your friends if you can stay with them if you're visiting their city and I grew up having family just show up to stay with us. It would never occur to me some people dont host friends or family.

I don't think AI will kill us all. The simple reason being we're way too easy to manipulate with psyops and social engineering. AI could rule us all for a thousand years without us having the slighest suspicion.

I’m in my late 50s living is the USA. I’m starting to think if I could do it all over again I would build a life around not having a vehicle. That means not owning or leasing. No car at all.

If you add decently sized rocks to the top of a mountain, you have essentially surmounted a taller, newer mountain than the previous guy did.

The Clown Panic of 2016

8 Upvotes

I saw a special on Hulu for Halloween about “The Great Clown Panic of 2016”. It triggered a random memory for me from when I was a senior in high school.

I remember vividly how terrified everyone was in my small town. Photos started circulating on social media of clowns in one of the wooded areas near the school. I’d love to hear if anyone has stories or experiences from the clown panic of 2016 🤣

The World is slowly becoming less and less Colorful by the day and i hate it.

99 Upvotes

It pops up in my mind every once in a few and just wanted to share this haunting thought.
How we used to have so much beautiful Color in our lifes.
How Homes looked so beautiful.
How stores, Fast food places, Cities had enjoyabled designs and color.
And nowadays when i walk out of my door...
I am just bombarded with Corporate minimalist Brutalism concrete jungles.
Everywhere i see new homes being build and all they are are just look like square shaped highway Toilets.
Old Beautiful Homes getting busted down to then put a sh*tty concrete block there.
Malls... Malls used to be places where u actively go to meet up and enjoy ur time.
Colorful lighting, lots of Plants, many different areas where each has its theme for food, clothes and etc.
Cars have suffered the same fate, back in the days it was super common when i was a lill boy,
that cars had all beautiful colors and now all u see it black, white, gray, and rarely blue and red.
Stores in the inside used to be colorful too, random milka cow here, random singing apple paper cutout there.
Now its just sterile black white and gray and no fancy random designs and stuff.
i just want the color back in my life.
