      To be perfectly fair, saying “there’s nothing else to say” is a way stronger example of a thought terminating exercise. Yet here we both are.

    Maybe I am and it’s what religions call rebirth or life after death and in that case I couldn’t care less, but I do have memories of yesterday and the days before that, so I’m kinda pretty sure there’s nothing loopy going on here.

    Philosophers have reasoned that if the universe is infinite, as it appears to some that it might be, then every permutation of all possible configurations of matter and energy will occur infinitely many times. Therefore, everything that happens now will have happened before, and will happen again.

      I don’t see how any utopia could make up for the universes where people are literally tortured their entire lives. Such a multiverse must not be allowed to exist.

      If this is what I think it is, that episode still makes me think about the nature of reality whenever I think about it, which is a lot more often than it should for a show that old.

      I was thinking of posting a picture of a hidden heart but the only ones I have are of my family being cute. So instead I offer you a small clue that you should please wake up. ;)

    That’s me some mornings. I wake up, do my morning routine - SYKE! It was a dream and I’m still asleep. Repeat like 5 infuriating times.

    If that was my whole life right now, I’m at least glad I’m not aware of it. That would be hell.

        That’s the thing. Your memory only works one way. You’re incapable of perceiving time running in the opposite direction.

        Every time you’ve pooped both in the past and the future*, it’s both going in and coming out, entirely dependent on the frame of reference.

        *Yes, I did just refer to the future in the past tense. Because if time’s running backwards to how we perceive it, that’s actually the past.

        The only way to win this game is not to poop. And good luck with that.

          I’ve come further than most men in this regard. And the fact that I’m around to tell the tale also means I’m capable of incredible feats of poop. That duality which defines the universe is visible in all things
