This sounds excellent as well. When I would get traditional (cold) ham and cheese sandwiches from the nearby delicatessen I observed that by simply mi...

Huh. I just might try that. It occurred to me my aversion to mayonnaise is largely pseudo-enforced, fabricated by my choice to refrain from condiments...

It's been a tragically long while since anyone has posted any food. So I will. Such as it is. https://i.imgur.com/1nLsekU.jpeg Ladies and gents, I pre...

Huh. Interesting. I was not focally aware of that. There's no semi-equivalent (I get it's not a matter of simple terminology or verbatim but a truly t...

That was the expected answer, yes. :sweat:

If you were to somehow—right now—go back in time to a few moments before the Big Bang—with no idea that it was about to create what we call "the known...

Actually, I just noticed ChatGPT is free and no login. It's response was: "If you’re looking for good websites to discuss and post about philosophical...

I am pressed for time and searched for an AI that is free and doesn't require a login. "Ask AI" (how original) came up. It's response was: . So I aske...

That's certainly one, I'd imagine. :smile: And—while likely a common sentiment—is perhaps not one that lines up all too well with the method behind a ...

My implication was, based on said theory, there was a point before what is commonly referred to as "the universe." A point (no pun intended) where "re...

There is, assuredly, some stereotype associated with forum admins as well. Isn't there? Why, there must be. But before we attempt to approach such sub...

Are we to understand you reject the Big Bang hypothesis, then? What theory as to the origins of this universe might you favor, pray tell? :smile:

They should make a supermarket that has club and disco lighting with spontaneous, constantly changing forms of muzak that sync with the lighting and s...

This is unexpectedly profound, perhaps that was your intent, perhaps not. For the average person, even those who claim to have found the charms of lov...

This, me thinks, is the arbitrarily-placed, obsequious stipulation that when removed makes the entire topic just a tad bit more open to conversation, ...

You don't dream? How do we know dreams are really just our mind "attempting to work out" problems and conundrums even in unconsciousness like the prev...

Jeez. And that guy knew how to write and read proofs. I think I'll be staying in the Shoutbox for a while. Juust in case. :eyes:

Anyone into PHP programming? Or C? (Apparently PHP is derivative of C) I found this post fascinating. (It'll just be boring if you're not into the fie...

Depends. Is everyone else wearing red? Is the person colorblind (or regular blind)? Were they good friends (perhaps it's a secret symbolism I'm simply...

Not particularly, no. We're largely self-serving beings after all, sure. Otherwise, it's not likely we'd be here. Another way of framing the topic, ra...

Perhaps the answer is, we do in some things, and we don't in others. As to which concepts or aspects of existence, being, and behavior belong to which...

Maybe @"Hanover" is actually the Wizard of Oz and Dorothy is attempting to make her way to him resulting in the misunderstood soothsaying woman sendin...

A couple weeks ago, overburdened by an unusually large lunch, I decided to lay outside in the afternoon Sun on a wooden boardwalk my father and I buil...

Beautifully put. That said. You may be surprised just how many modern day problems are self-inflicted. People don't want to listen. They want to do th...

But it doesn't solve anything. "Transitioning" only became a thing in the past few decades. Humanity has existed for tens of thousands of years. Can't...

Hmm.. hyperbole? Figure of speech? Assuredly. Let's just hope, in these days of increasing political violence, it's not a slow day down at whatever th...

*PM'd instead, delete post*

Yes. (Right click on top site logo -> Open in new private window ).

100% of people will believe anything given the right circumstance. Whether this "circumstance" is casual, in the form of simple popular opinion, or ex...

Generally speaking—from the limited exposure I have to his content—I never found anything objectionable. A bit more casual (as opposed to formal) than...

I think the rational response to that would be it's about ANY given "majority." Any given majority needs to be kept in check. Period. Doesn't matter i...

I just went up to bat for you, dude. Come on, now. Don't attack your one and only wing man in this discussion. :wink:

Accusing people of things that never happened is much worse, pal. All that and more. "Ennea" is a prefix for the number "9." You can't use words outsi...

I *think* what he's saying is per law of conservation of matter (or whatever) since the beginning of the Universe, there was and remains the exact sam...

You have achieved.. the number 9? Huh. Can't say I ever did that (at least not that I was aware of). So, neat, I suppose. Was it painful? :lol: Panpsy...

The point you haven't addressed is OP's claim that he feels the concentration camps were unlike the many other historical gulags (prisoner work camps)...

You've always been a man of mystery, MU! Thankfully one fact has been brought to light. You're clearly not a minor, one responsible for one, a female,...

*shudders in remembrance of your last short story*

I feel it worth mentioning that people generally consider "intent" to be a prerequisite for an act to be "evil." Going to visit an isolated or unconta...

He thinks this is, or rather, is used to, social media. DM stands for Direct Message, so the kids today say "DM me" which means "send me a private mes...

This is the part that I believe is liable to cause confusion. First sentence might suggest he's only doing it for the money i.e. doesn't really give a...

Wait, what happened? Why does all the fun stuff happen the day after I quit drinking and return to my mundane life as a programmer and visionary. That...

See, what I'm trying to say is, and forgive my brashness, perhaps you've gone gung-ho into a battle wielding what one believes to be a sword but is re...

So, let's try to get back on track here. And the best way to do so is with cold hard facts. Hypochondria, affects 5% of all persons. So, that's double...

Today I learned flour is combustible. Though I never considered using a loaf of bread as an improvised explosive before, it is no wonder the aristocra...

Happy you've found a viable solution. However, in the future, why not consider the Archimedes's screw? One and done. It'll move anything liquid, or ev...

Reverse seared. Interesting! What does that offer as far as taste, texture, or perhaps even nutrition, or anything else? Is it just something fun to d...

I was about to reply: "Thank you, Jamal. Your knowledge of entomology and language itself is not only legendary but worthy of being revered—nay, envie...

I come from a simplistic background. Food is not guaranteed from one day to the next. Well, that's not entirely true in my current given circumstance....

Read a new quote the other day: "He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man." I don't particularly like that. Then again, I d...
