Due to a combination of the residual childhood trauma hypervigilance and ADHD selective processing I am constantly on both ends of the spectrum of being aware of things. Did I notice the way someone shifted their arm in a manner that they usually don't, indicating that they may be irate with this situation? Yes. Did I notice that conversation in this room is not drifting towards a subject that these people would naturally talk about next, indicating that they are avoiding the subject? of course. Did I notice that the person who frequently parks here has removed that sticker from their car? Yeah clearly. Did I notice that truck almost hitting me? No.
My brain is the box that Schrödinger's cat is in, and there is no knowing whether I am aware of everything or absolutely nothing of what's going on unless you crack it open and check. Before that, I exist simultaneously in both the states of hyper-awareness and not being aware of jack fucking shit.
Can we appreciate the fact that there’s an extreme sport known as “Extreme Ironing”?
Like basically people take ironing boards to crazy locations and iron their shirts
There are no limits to what these people will do
“Hell yeah I’m an athlete"
You thought you’ve seen it all huh? Well, there’s more.
Oh, don’t mind me, just ironing some shirts
These people will always find time, no matter what
Oh and my favorite

the Epic of Gilgamesh: Gilgamesh was objectively the best man ever. He was the hottest, sexiest, most gorgeous hunk of pure manly awesomeness that ever lived and he used a sword that weighed 120 pounds.
You ever think about how crows are acting not unlike how early humans probably did and you're just like. Oh ok
If you're writing a story and a voice in your head says 'maybe this is too much fucked up mad science, you should dial back the fucked up mad science', that is the devil talking.
you heard him
A trolley full of your loved ones is heading down the tracks and will hit another loved one. If you redirect it, it will hit three strangers, but all of your loved ones will be fine. However, there is another person on the other side of the tracks facing the same problem. If you both choose to redirect the trolleys, they will crash in the middle, killing almost everyone.
The least amount of people will die if you do nothing and allow a loved one to die, the best-case scenario for you will occur if you pull your lever and the other person does not pull theirs, and the worst-case scenario will occur if you both pull your levers.
What do you do???
