Share something pointless about your life!

Just a random, pointless thought. Dinosaurs were placed on earth to test if the planet was inhabitable for life.

Or alternatively. God created early life forms such as dinosaurs, God destroyed them to place humans. Humans destroy God by finding that he doesn't really exist, humans inhabit other planets in the far future, placing life forms on them to test if they are habitable. Humans become gods.

Who are you...?


And no. Humans won't become gods. And you can't destroy something that doesn't exist. And even if we did develop the tech to expand civilization to outlying colonies throughout the universe, it'll all be pointless with the next universe supernova (big bang), referencing Mahati's idea here.

You're either thinking too hard about that or...no, you're trying too hard.

I'm not thinking hard about it at all. I was actually thinking about it last night in the shower. :|

....not singing?

[CaesarBeHere]

It was just a thought that came to my mind while eating. And at this point in our evolution we can not be sure of anything. We are barely beginning to scratch the surface. And you can destroy something that does not exist, but that is kinda hypothetical. I actually believe that God exists because people still believe and have faith in him. As soon as we discover that he doesn't exist, he will disappear. Not sure how to explain it properly so sorry if I wasn't too explicit.

Not that night, no. :|


I like to emulate Katy Perry sometimes though. inb4 Loller.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Freddie Krueger? It's very easy to get the two mixed up.

So where's Santa? The Easter Bunny? How about rainbow ponies and unicorns? Are the scientologists right about Xenu because they have faith? For "god" you can get away with him not being seen using metaphysical mumbo-jumbo, but you can't do the same with all these other emblematic figures people have faith in.

Believing is not the same as considering something true. When you don't have enough empirical data about something, you can only believe that it's true, if you want to.

Once you have empirical data, you can begin to consider that thing true. That's where believing turns into knowledge.

No one here who hasn't seen someone's arm get severed knows what happens when someone's arm gets severed. When you ask person A, they're gonna say that the person bleeds to death. When you ask person B, he's gonna say the muscles tighten so that they won't bleed to death very fast. When you ask person C, he's gonna say that it depends.

You still do not know what happens when someone's arm gets cut off. You can only choose to believe what some people tell, based on their arguments, and what is most plausible. When you see it happen, or if it happens to you, you see how it happens, and can call it knowledge.

Let's assume person A was right. The guy who lost his arm bled to death in a matter of minutes. However, this does not rule out what person C said: "it depends". It could be that another individual's muscles tighten around the wound, or what the heck ever, and that individual does not bleed to death as fast. We do not know if person C was right, but it's still a possibility.

In this moment you are euphoric.

Sounds like the only thing you ever got from Santa are pieces of coal.

[Obnoxious]

I never got anything from Santa. I did get gifts on the birthday of the most famous zombie of all times, from my parents.

There are only two conspiracy theories that I support. The first is 9/11, and I really believe in it. The other one is Apollo Moon Landing, I doubt that it has ever happened but that's lower class. Anyway, this really made me laugh(scroll down to the end of the article).
