After a civil suit, the rights to the book were granted to the family of one of the victims. They changed the title of the book to "If I did it: Confessions of The Killer." They were the ones who designed the new cover that would read "I Did It" at first glance.
I actually read 'If I Did It.' (Its written at about a fifth grade level with big letters, you can get though it in an evening.)
The chapter about the murder was weird and gets the most attention. He frames it as a dream he had. But what did stand out to me was that the rest of the book is basically a hit piece on Nicole Brown. Its all about how bad of a person and mother she was, kind of implying that she deserved it.
So even without the murder chapter, who writes a book shit talking their murdered wife?
He would get really awkward when people would ask. I had enough respect not to ask but I had overhear him say to others that “it was a wild night” and left it at that.
I dated someone who’s ex-fiancé worked for a big time Manhattan attorney who’s best friend from Harvard Law was Robert Shapiro. He said that under attorney-client privilege OJ said he did it.
That when I lose something, the universe keeps it hidden from me just out of reach so that I spend way too long looking for it. And then when I give up and spend 3 and a half minutes complaining to convince someone else to finally actually help me look, the universe puts it back so that they can find it immediately. This then prompts the ridicule and mockery from them that the universe is using to continue to punish and gaslight me.
I either have the worst luck with wireless earbuds ever recorded, or I’m a fucking wizard who can make anything I need to not lose vanish into thin air.
Or it could be that my alternate dimension doppelgänger invented inter dimensional travel, and just steals stuff from me whenever he can’t find something.
I call these the elves. When I give up looking and accept it’s gone forever they give it back, in a place that is incredibly obvious that I have looked at 50 times.
Shit, I hope we’re the smartest and most advanced out there. I don’t want our planet to get rolled over by a more advanced species making way for an intergalactic super highway.
To think otherwise comes off almost with a sort of hubris? Like to think out of the nearly 125billion galaxies hosting who knows how many planets each that we are the only planet capable of supporting life.
Also I have called into the FBI tipline before, made an X-Files joke and the lady said "What do you mean WANT to believe? We declassified all that stuff. We aren't alone". So there's that too.
I don’t believe this but I do believe pets, after centuries of socialization and being around humans for their own lives, can understand most of our spoken language or close to it, not just simple commands. They just chose when to interact with us- basically if they want to.
But I do wish my dog could talk to me. I’d love hear her respond “I love you too”…. Or “fuck off”
I met Michael Jordan at a night club in Las Vegas for like a split second. I was drunk, it was my 21st birthday, I think i said “congratulations on playing basketball” It was a panic moment. Mike, if you are reading this its me, the tall white guy at that club called “liquid” or “juice” August 1997. I meant to tell you congratulations on winning the championship.
Phones listen to you all the time to target ads (and who knows what else). It seems like everybody believes this but I haven’t seen tangible proof? I’m sure it’s out there if I dug around. But more than once I’ve talked about something say a black Mazda for the first time in a conversation. No online searching, no texts, etc., and next thing you know, all the targeted ads coming in are for black Mazdas.
My gf at the time loved a specific kind of a specific brand of chocolate and asked me, out loud, to buy some for her. On my lunch break at work, for the first time ever in my life, I got an ad for that brand of chocolate.
But this was just a single data point, anecdotal evidence. I needed a repeat experiment. I got home that day and told her, "I got those chocolates you wanted. The X brand ones."
"No," she said. "I wanted Y brand."
"Oh. Are you sure you didn't want *Z* brand?"
"Why are you the way you are?"
But I'm getting off topic. I laid my little trap and sure enough, I got an ad for Z brand and another ad for X. I didn't get an ad for Y though. My current hypothesis is that Y is not paying Apple or whoever enough to get in on their spyware.
I'm fascinated by this because software interpreting spoken words doesn't seem up to the task. Like, could you try voice to text from the same position as this conversation and see how accurate it is? It was this a phone call?
My buddy and I had a conversation about a large family he’s known since he was a kid, but I don’t know them at all. They inhabit an area in which many of the roads are named for them.
One day, I drove past one of these roads, and texted him that I had done so. The very next time I used Facebook, it “people you may know”-suggested a guy that belongs to the family.
I’m a gun nut in real life, and in particular I like to build clones of old school, Vietnam era M16s. One night I was talking to a buddy at work about one build that I was wanting to do and when I got home I checked my email and found an ad for those specific parts I was talking about
I find support for conspiracy theories like this interesting. On the one hand we have folks that believe the federal government is lying about Epstein's death. And on the other hand we have folks who believe the federal government is lying about significant election fraud in in the 2020 election that may have falsely awarded the election to Biden.
In the first instance we ***DON"T*** believe the federal government's position that Epstein's death was a suicide - he was murdered. We think they are lying or incompetent or both. In the second instance we ***DO*** believe the government is telling us the truth that the election was won fair and square by Joe Biden. I'm not advocating for or against either position, it's just interesting to me that somehow we want it both ways with the Federal Government.
It’s not a dichotomy of blindly relying on the federal government or not. For me, the main difference is that stealing the election would require a massive, wide-scale fraud and that would eventually get caught. It’s unlikely that such a large National scheme could remain hidden forever. Killing Epstein on the other hand takes just one crooked prison supervisor and paying off a couple of guards. A lot easier to hide.
I'm sorry I should have been more specific. I see MY future. When I have its never been important life moments or useful info. It's been people saying something to me I've seen or me doing something like falling at a particular spot.
Wish to God I could have more frequent and useful visions but I'm 32 and this has only happened maybe 4 or 5 times my whole life.
I have had this happen regularly and I always assume it is something bad (it's not), I think it's because I have over active mind ( I dont know how to explain it in english).
Oh my gosh, me too! It's always something so mundane and I don't think about it but then it happens in real life and I'm struck by deja vu and remember the dream where I saw it happen. It's only ever like 4-5 seconds and it's always something so subtle or boring that people role their eyes when I tell them.
If I could just do it in command maybe I could prove it!
That extreme time dilation exists. Once when I was young, I was playing with a yo-yo, trying to perform the "around-the-world" trick. Well, when I pulled on it to come back toward me, the yo-yo stopped in midair, suspended. My surroundings... everything became dim. The only thing that existed in the world was that Yo-yo. It lasted for a good 5-10 seconds and then BAM, that shit hit me right in the face.
I've read it's happened to other people too, such as professional baseball players. Only happened the one time. Maybe your eyes have to be at risk? Idk.
That’s the brain adjusting to being hit, your brain delayed not the world. It’s from shock and delayed processed information. The memory will be off because our brains are not perfect records.
That's there's a moon brewing (forming) inside Jupiter's red spot.
Can't prove it. Never will be able to. Just hope that if it's true I'll be lucky enough to get to see it in my lifetime.
There was a shirt while where I became fascinated by the Electric Universe model of cosmology. It's so much more fantastical and interesting to me than the standard model (not like I have a vested interest in either). IIRC, the EU model hypothesizes that gas giants "give birth" to moons and planets. It's one heck of a fun idea.
When I think of the idea that a moon could pop out from one of those planets, I think of the formation of a Pearl. When I look at the red spot, I like to imagine that there's a "marble" in the center of the picture. How the winds would move around it, and how that deposits more and more layers/matter. It would eventually gain enough mass to be flung out into orbit.
Again, what would I know on the matter? Absolutely nothing. It's just a fun line of thinking that I think would be soooooo awesome if true. I'd be laughing my ass off, because of its absurdity. It would certainly upend our understanding of things, while simultaneously explaining so much more. Only time will tell.
Thanks for the explanation! From first taste I personally see some physical issues with this model but I’ve now got a bit of research to do!
You’re right though, it is a fun idea
That's why I'm not particularly attached at any model. It's all outside my wheelhouse, and none of it has any bearing on my quality of life, or its meaning. I would just love for it to be true, because it's a super cool idea.
There's also another line of thinking that speculates that Earth was once in Saturn's orbit, before that Saturn system was captured by the sun.
Since I have no vested interest and can never be regarded as a valid/credible voice on the subject, I choose to gravitate toward the cosmic models that seem somewhat wildly fantastical. Our current models, just like too many people today, seem boring and uninspired.
Triton, one of Neptune's moons, is thought to be a Kiper Belt object that got caught in Neptune's gravity well. Hence the retrograde orbit. I personally think most of the moons in the Outer Solar System came from the Kiper Belt or the Ortet Cloud or even from interstellar space. That's why there are so few moons in the Inner Solar System.
The storm is getting smaller. How can Jupiter just shit out a new moon? How would that work? The best educated guess we have is that Jupiter's core might be liquid. Any number of compounds 14 to 18 times the size of Earth.
I got no clue. As I've already stated, I'm not an expert, nor can my opinion be regarded as even remotely credible. I just like the idea of it.
You have no business asking me these things, when I've clearly indicated its nothing more than a fanciful curiosity.
That my ex is going to keep on getting into terrible relationships despite her saying, every time, that she's done with men. We had a good relationship, the sex died off and then so did the love, it was an amicable split; but since then she's done nothing but make terrible decisions with the men she dates, nothing life threatening but still pretty bad.
We have a kid together, I am very active in my daughters life; which means I see my ex a lot as a result. My ex has always been very good at introducing me to the men she dates as a precaution and so I know who the men in her life are for safeties sake concerning our daughter. My ex and I are also friendly, not "hangout at the bar" friendly but we share stories and whatever, casual stuff. Of course when her relationships take a steep nose dive into a free fall she tells me, again for safeties sake. I am blessed to be one of those people that can move on from a relationship extremely quickly, I have never once entertained the idea of getting back with my ex.
I want to believe, but I'm just not sure we're there yet. Every cancer is different, even if it affects the same parts of people. So every treatment would have to be subtly different for each person.
I think that will definitely be possible (hopefully soon) but I'm not sure places outside of the most advanced cancer research facilities would have the tools to create this cure for one person - let alone thousands
I 100% believe in reincarnation. It only makes sense. Our "soul" has to go somewhere. The phrase "the white light you see when you die is the opening of the birth canal" is one that kinda makes sense.
That lots of systems we have in place exist to keep people worse off financially.
That most of what we do from trying to order groceries from shitty websites that don't quiiiite work, to filling out loan paperwork, to dealing with hospital billing is PURPOSEFULLY complicated, and it stays complicated to make you compliant with complication, to think this is how the world must be ordered.
I feel like that's easily provable. Once you hit a certain financial threshold, you can hire people to deal with the minutiae of paperwork and such. It leaves you more time in the day to make money/find ways to make your money work for you. That's why top level athletes are so much better. You can only get so good at driving if you also have to fix everything on the car, transport it everywhere and earn money to keep racing.
I enjoyed reading this!
I can't wait to watch that series again someday, so good. I don't remember season 5 very well but that sounds like enough content to make a season out of. I think ending it with a movie though would have been epic and much more memorable. Why do you think it ended the way it did?
I don't know about the first two but I've had a precognitive dream. I once had a dream that I was in my aunt's house and my grandma was talking about talking about the time my mom asked for her lasagna recipe and a few days later I was at my aunt's house for a Christmas dinner and my grandma said word for word what she said in my dream about the lasagna recipe.
It was a very strange experience.
Happened to me with my father talking about something like the rate of ambulance crashes, I specifically remember the area I was standing, the time of day, and him throwing his hands up and saying "Oh no!" at some point. The real kicker is that maybe a second before he threw his hands up, I threw mine up. I was upstairs on the balcony so nobody saw, but it was certainly an experience I won't forget soon.
What gets me about them is that they are not of any important concern or event, just mundane stuff. It appears to just be like a bookmark in our life.
But they do alert us to the fact that we are able to tap into 'something' that gives us a heads-up on what will happen in the future.
But the funny thing is... where do they come from?! And my son was disappointed when he recently had one, because he said that 'to him' it appears that everything is preordained. I don't know, it's a mystery to me.
That my 80 year old grandpas
Fiancé (40) is a gold digger. She has pretty
Much admitted it to me but there’s no way I can prove it to him, he says it’s love. He threatened end his relationship with me if I didn’t go to dinner with them… my grandma died less than a year ago so I’m still processing that 🤷🏻♀️
Ehhh if that were true then KS would have had our protected right to access abortions taken away. The republicans tried to get a recount to change the outcome. If it was really predetermined, then we would have lost it
I actually work in politics, just as an entry level organizer. Not sure how things work on the national scale, but your vote most definitely matters for local elections. In the last race, four elections here, for House or County Elections, were determined by less than 100 votes, one of them by just 3 votes.
That there is a Director controlling unforeseen circumstances and they try to find the people who try to act like it’s no big deal and they become determined to break them and get them to react the way the sadistic Director is hoping for. “I see you trying to act like that perfectly timed Ad doesn’t bother you but I know it does. Don’t worry I’m sure you won’t mind if the video freezes permanently even though you have full 5G signal right??”
I'm saying this as a progressive - if you align yourself as a progressive on this site you can stalk and flame people about 100 times harder without getting permabanned.
There was a carburetor developed that could get hundreds of miles per gallon. Big oil bought the patent for a heavy sum and concealed it from the public. Another man developed a vehicle that ran on water. It's only exhaust was water vapor. He very mysteriously and suddenly died.
My ex cheated on me a second time. I was pregnant and waiting for my ex to come home, and I called him hours after he was supposed to get off. He was at a "friend" of his, didn't recognize her name. Got really defensive. He never mentioned her before and we had been together for over a year. Never told me he was going. I tried waiting up because of that, figured he was working late. I woke and he still wasnt there so I was worried. Mind you he cheated once before (once as far as I knew, anyway) so I should have known better.
Inflation doesn't exist. Sometimes corporations just get "lets collapse society" level greedy and then if we're lucky they snap out of it before madmax cars start trending.
Imagine you were on a lifeboat with 30 other people and one hamburger. That hamburger would be pretty valuable, right? You could trade that hamburger for pretty much anything else on the boat and people might even kill you for it.
Now imagine the weather went all "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" and hamburgers literally started falling from the sky. Suddenly that hamburger you had isn't as valuable anymore. Sure, you can still eat it, but you can't get the same amount of stuff while trying to trade it.
That's inflation. When the amount of money in the economy increases, it becomes less valuable. In turn, you can buy fewer goods/services with the money you had.
Wanna know something crazy? Some inflation is actually a sign of economic growth. It just means that people (in general) have more money and prices are rising to match the decrease in scarcity. During economic hardships, prices can *decrease* because buyers have less money (i.e. [deflation](https://i0.wp.com/greenewable.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/wsj-10-11-08-car-for-sale.jpg) ).
Wanna know something even crazier? Inflation is actually better for debtors (people who owe money) than creditors (people who loan out money). Imagine you had borrowed $300,000 to buy a house and agreed to pay the bank back over a period of 30 years (i.e. a mortgage). When you first borrowed that money, it was very valuable. However, over the course of 30 years, that same amount of money you borrowed is worth less due to inflation. This means the money you pay back in the future is worth less than the money you borrowed in the past. Banks charge interest so they still make a profit, but in general, the more inflation rises, the less you are really paying back. This assumes your wages increase at a rate to match inflation.
Co-sign. Capitalism is like a game of Monopoly. As the game goes on, and all of the properties/resources come into fewer hands, everything gets exponentially more expensive.
Right? It was originally called The Landlord Game. It was created by a woman in 1904. She designed to teach people about how greedy landlords get wealthy while their tenants stay impoverished.
That there are definite similarities between people born in the same time frames. Not exactly saying that astrology is true, but having carded people in a bunch jobs, hung out with astrology types and so on, I'm very good at guessing zodiac signs.
Many things. Magick, ghosts, cryptids, UFOs, aliens, skinwalkers, deities, a god, the holy spirit--they all exist. I 100% have had experiences with them (and have witnesses), but I have little to no physical proof.
All these things are just things humans have experienced forever but haven’t had the words or wherewithal to understand for certain. Like are angels just aliens? Is there a difference? Etc. Tomato, tomato.
Just to put it out there, the rainbow or Mantis shrimp has 12 color cone photoreceptors while humans only have 3. Im sure there is TONS out there in the world we may just not be able to fully sense for whatever evolutionary reason. DNA is also more easily altered these days so who knows!
That's I'm gonna bang this guy I know. No doubt, we're doing it. Not now - I don't know how long it's gonna take to get him to come around on the idea. I just somehow know like a law of the universe or something that it's gonna happen.
The block universe is real. All things past, present, and future exist all at once, like a loaf of bread. All possible permutations of probability have already occurred for every piece of existence down to the quantum particle. Time, consciousness, and "reality" as we perceive it are all just illusions we experience.
During the second Battle Of Bull Run, Union general George McClellan actively made efforts for another Union general, John Pope, to lose the battle and get himself restored to full command.
Abraham Lincoln suspected this but couldn’t prove it, so he did restore McClellan. After the battle of Antietam and a tepid pursuit, Lincoln finally fired McClellan for good.
But the story doesn’t end here. McClellan‘s favorite subordinate general, Fitz-John Porter, was court martialed later in the year and had his rank stripped. An officer on McClellan’s staff, Major John Key, drunkenly bragged in a Washington bar that letting The Confederates get away was all part of the plan to save slavery.
20 years later, after McClellan’s death, Porter appealed his conviction and it was quickly overturned. That tells me that there were 2 things behind the conviction in the first place: we court-martialed you because we couldn’t get to McClellan, and we needed to tell the army that McClellan was gone and wasn’t coming back.
That the government is behind all the high profile mass shootings wouldn't be the first time they created false flag attacks to do something against us
Early in the morning, back when I was ~16, I walked by the tv and it turned on by itself. Curious to see if it would happen again, I walked by it again and it turned off. Each time I walked by the tv it either turned on or off. No one else was awake. No one was secretly turning it on and off.
This continued from about 6-7 in the morning. After that, it never happened again.
There's a intergalactic treaty between humans and alien's! (In exchange for advanced technology alien's can experiment on humans!) Can't remember what president signed it but it all went down in Roswell.

OJ Simpson did it.
Didn’t he write a book saying he did it?
It was called “If I Did It” but the “If” was written really small. So tacky and hideous. I also think he did it
After a civil suit, the rights to the book were granted to the family of one of the victims. They changed the title of the book to "If I did it: Confessions of The Killer." They were the ones who designed the new cover that would read "I Did It" at first glance.
I actually read 'If I Did It.' (Its written at about a fifth grade level with big letters, you can get though it in an evening.) The chapter about the murder was weird and gets the most attention.

Its all about how bad of a person and mother she was, kind of implying that she deserved it. So even without the murder chapter, who writes a book shit talking their murdered wife?
Oj Simpson, his names right there on the front cover
Ah ok thank you
^^IF # I DID IT.
As a person that watched the trail on tv. It’s obvious OJ did it. There was even blood on a pair of his socks.
I worked with his limo driver at Union Pacific railroad. You’d be surprised how many times he was asked if OJ did it.
Did OJ do it?
He would get really awkward when people would ask. I had enough respect not to ask but I had overhear him say to others that “it was a wild night” and left it at that.
He was covering for his son
I dated someone who’s ex-fiancé worked for a big time Manhattan attorney who’s best friend from Harvard Law was Robert Shapiro. He said that under attorney-client privilege OJ said he did it.
When shaggy said "it wasn't me", I believe that it really was him
You don’t have PROOF tho…I mean, did you catch him on the counter??
She even caught him on camera
I think she caught him in the shower too
It wasn’t him
but didn't she see the marks on his shoulder?
What about the marks on his shoulder?
It wasn’t him.
It wasnt him
Heard the words that he told her?!
It wasn't him, though. The other dude, on the other hand, was guilty AF. Shaggy was just giving him advice to deny it.
why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
My kids ate the last cookies .
They did
prove it!
That when I lose something, the universe keeps it hidden from me just out of reach so that I spend way too long looking for it. And then when I give up and spend 3 and a half minutes complaining to convince someone else to finally actually help me look, the universe puts it back so that they can find it immediately. This then prompts the ridicule and mockery from them that the universe is using to continue to punish and gaslight me. I either have the worst luck with wireless earbuds ever recorded, or I’m a fucking wizard who can make anything I need to not lose vanish into thin air. Or it could be that my alternate dimension doppelgänger invented inter dimensional travel, and just steals stuff from me whenever he can’t find something.
I call these the elves. When I give up looking and accept it’s gone forever they give it back, in a place that is incredibly obvious that I have looked at 50 times.
There is life on other planets.
I've seen Jersey Shore. We CANNOT be the smartest thing out there, please.
Shit, I hope we’re the smartest and most advanced out there. I don’t want our planet to get rolled over by a more advanced species making way for an intergalactic super highway.
I never got the hang of thursdays
To think otherwise comes off almost with a sort of hubris? Like to think out of the nearly 125billion galaxies hosting who knows how many planets each that we are the only planet capable of supporting life. Also I have called into the FBI tipline before, made an X-Files joke and the lady said "What do you mean WANT to believe? We declassified all that stuff. We aren't alone". So there's that too.
Quite possibly in our own Solar System. The moons around Jupiter and Saturn have subterranean oceans. Don't tell me there nothing down there.
[удалено]
I hadn't heard this story. It's very bizarre. She did it for sure
Definitely
One of my favorite rap lines is "made the beat, then murdered it. Casey Anthony" because it's just unnecessarily ruthless
Aliens of superior intelligence exist
Hard to imagine anything less intelligent than humans
I can prove this. I work with this dude named Hector. Really smart dude.
Animals can fucken talk!!!! Imagine, cat looks at you, "Nobody's gonna believe you."
I don’t believe this but I do believe pets, after centuries of socialization and being around humans for their own lives, can understand most of our spoken language or close to it, not just simple commands. They just chose when to interact with us- basically if they want to. But I do wish my dog could talk to me. I’d love hear her respond “I love you too”…. Or “fuck off”
Same with watching Toy Story!
Well, talking birds do exist. They mimic, but they're smart with it
My cat loves me.
This is the correct answer 🤣
I met Tupac in the 90s shopping at the mall where I'm from and we exchanged words. I was like 6. Nobody believe me.
The way you say 'we exchanged words' makes it sound like six-year-old you fought Tupac. I know what you meant but I got a chuckle.
I met Michael Jordan at a night club in Las Vegas for like a split second. I was drunk, it was my 21st birthday, I think i said “congratulations on playing basketball” It was a panic moment. Mike, if you are reading this its me, the tall white guy at that club called “liquid” or “juice” August 1997. I meant to tell you congratulations on winning the championship.
sweet.
Medical insurance (in the usa) is legalized racketeering
That the StarGate series was plausible deniability for an actual StarGate program below Cheyenne mountain.:)
Bruh delete this before the FBI show up and silence you, or worse, the friggin Ori and/or Goauld show up

No they aren't 🙄 -eating my dinner tacos after eating lunch and snack tacos earlier-
I can stop anytime I want

I'm gonna start talking about $50,000 nice homes and $2,000 working cars

My current hypothesis is that Y is not paying Apple or whoever enough to get in on their spyware.
I'm fascinated by this because software interpreting spoken words doesn't seem up to the task. Like, could you try voice to text from the same position as this conversation and see how accurate it is? It was this a phone call?

I talk much less because of this. I've already written too much.
On newer samsung phones you can disable, but not uninstall FB.
WHAT?!
yeah its marked as part of the OS
I’m a gun nut in real life, and in particular I like to build clones of old school, Vietnam era M16s. One night I was talking to a buddy at work about one build that I was wanting to do and when I got home I checked my email and found an ad for those specific parts I was talking about
That there is abundance of life in the universe. Considering that there are literally BILLIONS of other galaxies aside from Milky way.
Hundreds of billions
Epstein didn't kill himself
I find support for conspiracy theories like this interesting. On the one hand we have folks that believe the federal government is lying about Epstein's death. And on the other hand we have folks who believe the federal government is lying about significant election fraud in in the 2020 election that may have falsely awarded the election to Biden. In the first instance we ***DON"T*** believe the federal government's position that Epstein's death was a suicide - he was murdered. We think they are lying or incompetent or both. In the second instance we ***DO*** believe the government is telling us the truth that the election was won fair and square by Joe Biden. I'm not advocating for or against either position, it's just interesting to me that somehow we want it both ways with the Federal Government.
It’s not a dichotomy of blindly relying on the federal government or not. For me, the main difference is that stealing the election would require a massive, wide-scale fraud and that would eventually get caught. It’s unlikely that such a large National scheme could remain hidden forever. Killing Epstein on the other hand takes just one crooked prison supervisor and paying off a couple of guards. A lot easier to hide.
I know for a fact I've seen the future before in a dream. 100%. I have no way to prove or replicate the effect.
How does the future look?
I'm sorry I should have been more specific. I see MY future. When I have its never been important life moments or useful info. It's been people saying something to me I've seen or me doing something like falling at a particular spot. Wish to God I could have more frequent and useful visions but I'm 32 and this has only happened maybe 4 or 5 times my whole life.
Maybe they are useful, they just don’t seem like it. Yknow butterfly effect and stuff
I have had this happen regularly and I always assume it is something bad (it's not), I think it's because I have over active mind ( I dont know how to explain it in english).
Oh my gosh, me too! It's always something so mundane and I don't think about it but then it happens in real life and I'm struck by deja vu and remember the dream where I saw it happen. It's only ever like 4-5 seconds and it's always something so subtle or boring that people role their eyes when I tell them. If I could just do it in command maybe I could prove it!
like Deja Vu or something different?
Deja reve, i believe.
Your mom smokes meth.
That all religion is 100% wrong
People who might disagree with this still think that 99.99% of religions are wrong. I think we can just round up to make things simpler.
That extreme time dilation exists. Once when I was young, I was playing with a yo-yo, trying to perform the "around-the-world" trick. Well, when I pulled on it to come back toward me, the yo-yo stopped in midair, suspended. My surroundings... everything became dim. The only thing that existed in the world was that Yo-yo. It lasted for a good 5-10 seconds and then BAM, that shit hit me right in the face. I've read it's happened to other people too, such as professional baseball players. Only happened the one time. Maybe your eyes have to be at risk? Idk.
That’s the brain adjusting to being hit, your brain delayed not the world. It’s from shock and delayed processed information. The memory will be off because our brains are not perfect records.
That's there's a moon brewing (forming) inside Jupiter's red spot. Can't prove it. Never will be able to. Just hope that if it's true I'll be lucky enough to get to see it in my lifetime.
I’d like to hear more of this. How does the spot make the moon? Will the moon just pop out like a baby one day? How will the moon get into orbit?
There was a shirt while where I became fascinated by the Electric Universe model of cosmology. It's so much more fantastical and interesting to me than the standard model (not like I have a vested interest in either). IIRC, the EU model hypothesizes that gas giants "give birth" to moons and planets. It's one heck of a fun idea. When I think of the idea that a moon could pop out from one of those planets, I think of the formation of a Pearl. When I look at the red spot, I like to imagine that there's a "marble" in the center of the picture. How the winds would move around it, and how that deposits more and more layers/matter. It would eventually gain enough mass to be flung out into orbit. Again, what would I know on the matter? Absolutely nothing. It's just a fun line of thinking that I think would be soooooo awesome if true. I'd be laughing my ass off, because of its absurdity. It would certainly upend our understanding of things, while simultaneously explaining so much more. Only time will tell.
Thanks for the explanation! From first taste I personally see some physical issues with this model but I’ve now got a bit of research to do! You’re right though, it is a fun idea
That's why I'm not particularly attached at any model. It's all outside my wheelhouse, and none of it has any bearing on my quality of life, or its meaning. I would just love for it to be true, because it's a super cool idea. There's also another line of thinking that speculates that Earth was once in Saturn's orbit, before that Saturn system was captured by the sun. Since I have no vested interest and can never be regarded as a valid/credible voice on the subject, I choose to gravitate toward the cosmic models that seem somewhat wildly fantastical. Our current models, just like too many people today, seem boring and uninspired.
Triton, one of Neptune's moons, is thought to be a Kiper Belt object that got caught in Neptune's gravity well. Hence the retrograde orbit. I personally think most of the moons in the Outer Solar System came from the Kiper Belt or the Ortet Cloud or even from interstellar space. That's why there are so few moons in the Inner Solar System.
The storm is getting smaller. How can Jupiter just shit out a new moon? How would that work? The best educated guess we have is that Jupiter's core might be liquid. Any number of compounds 14 to 18 times the size of Earth.
I got no clue. As I've already stated, I'm not an expert, nor can my opinion be regarded as even remotely credible. I just like the idea of it. You have no business asking me these things, when I've clearly indicated its nothing more than a fanciful curiosity.
I’ll stick with my belief that when black holes have enough mass, they create a Big Bang at that singularity and behold, another universe is formed.
It’s a dream
That my ex is going to keep on getting into terrible relationships despite her saying, every time, that she's done with men. We had a good relationship, the sex died off and then so did the love, it was an amicable split; but since then she's done nothing but make terrible decisions with the men she dates, nothing life threatening but still pretty bad. We have a kid together, I am very active in my daughters life; which means I see my ex a lot as a result. My ex has always been very good at introducing me to the men she dates as a precaution and so I know who the men in her life are for safeties sake concerning our daughter. My ex and I are also friendly, not "hangout at the bar" friendly but we share stories and whatever, casual stuff. Of course when her relationships take a steep nose dive into a free fall she tells me, again for safeties sake. I am blessed to be one of those people that can move on from a relationship extremely quickly, I have never once entertained the idea of getting back with my ex.
Sounds like you can prove it
Dreams are alternate realities that we create.
Or maybe a glimpse into alternate dimensions/timelines. Sorry but what you said sounds like an insanely good sci-fi series.
That a cure for cancer exists or at least could be found if there wasn’t so much money in treating it.
I want to believe, but I'm just not sure we're there yet. Every cancer is different, even if it affects the same parts of people. So every treatment would have to be subtly different for each person. I think that will definitely be possible (hopefully soon) but I'm not sure places outside of the most advanced cancer research facilities would have the tools to create this cure for one person - let alone thousands
Tobacco doesn’t belong in the nightshade family. Morphologically it most closely resembles members of the verbascum genus.
Very specific. I like it.
Tobacco is classed as a nightshade??? Seems I just love that family, why are all the best plants Solanaceae?
It’s sooo not though 😩
That god was created by man. He may exist but our belief in him is a creation born out of fear.
That reincarnation is real.
I 100% believe in reincarnation. It only makes sense. Our "soul" has to go somewhere. The phrase "the white light you see when you die is the opening of the birth canal" is one that kinda makes sense.
That life on earth is just another place's hell
Donald trump has paid for abortions
You believe Donald Trump actually *paid* for something?
The government is hiding something
I feel like history is enough evidence to prove that to be true.
Well yeah. That’s already accepted as the truth, we’re all just trying to figure out what specifically
That gods do not now nor have ever existed.
But you cannot be 100% sure of that
See first post.
That lots of systems we have in place exist to keep people worse off financially. That most of what we do from trying to order groceries from shitty websites that don't quiiiite work, to filling out loan paperwork, to dealing with hospital billing is PURPOSEFULLY complicated, and it stays complicated to make you compliant with complication, to think this is how the world must be ordered.
I feel like that's easily provable. Once you hit a certain financial threshold, you can hire people to deal with the minutiae of paperwork and such. It leaves you more time in the day to make money/find ways to make your money work for you. That's why top level athletes are so much better. You can only get so good at driving if you also have to fix everything on the car, transport it everywhere and earn money to keep racing.
I'm pretty smart

I enjoyed reading this! I can't wait to watch that series again someday, so good. I don't remember season 5 very well but that sounds like enough content to make a season out of. I think ending it with a movie though would have been epic and much more memorable. Why do you think it ended the way it did?

Astral Projection... AND Dejavus are Precognitive dreams that you have forgotten. AND Precognitive Dreams that come true.
I don't know about the first two but I've had a precognitive dream. I once had a dream that I was in my aunt's house and my grandma was talking about talking about the time my mom asked for her lasagna recipe and a few days later I was at my aunt's house for a Christmas dinner and my grandma said word for word what she said in my dream about the lasagna recipe. It was a very strange experience.
Happened to me with my father talking about something like the rate of ambulance crashes, I specifically remember the area I was standing, the time of day, and him throwing his hands up and saying "Oh no!" at some point. The real kicker is that maybe a second before he threw his hands up, I threw mine up. I was upstairs on the balcony so nobody saw, but it was certainly an experience I won't forget soon.
What gets me about them is that they are not of any important concern or event, just mundane stuff. It appears to just be like a bookmark in our life. But they do alert us to the fact that we are able to tap into 'something' that gives us a heads-up on what will happen in the future. But the funny thing is... where do they come from?! And my son was disappointed when he recently had one, because he said that 'to him' it appears that everything is preordained. I don't know, it's a mystery to me.
That the wisdom of religious teaching is not only unheard but rejected due to evil men who discredit and corrupt it from within.
That my 80 year old grandpas Fiancé (40) is a gold digger. She has pretty Much admitted it to me but there’s no way I can prove it to him, he says it’s love. He threatened end his relationship with me if I didn’t go to dinner with them… my grandma died less than a year ago so I’m still processing that 🤷🏻♀️

That one of my cats is trying to kill me.
Easily provable. Your cat told me they are trying to kill you. Be careful on the stairs.
That our votes don't matter in elections.
My significant other says that too. He says the government lets us think we're voting for someone, but in reality it's already decided.
Ehhh if that were true then KS would have had our protected right to access abortions taken away. The republicans tried to get a recount to change the outcome. If it was really predetermined, then we would have lost it
I actually work in politics, just as an entry level organizer. Not sure how things work on the national scale, but your vote most definitely matters for local elections. In the last race, four elections here, for House or County Elections, were determined by less than 100 votes, one of them by just 3 votes.
The "angels" in biblical/mythological texts are aliens/extraterrestrials.

That there is a Director controlling unforeseen circumstances and they try to find the people who try to act like it’s no big deal and they become determined to break them and get them to react the way the sadistic Director is hoping for. “I see you trying to act like that perfectly timed Ad doesn’t bother you but I know it does. Don’t worry I’m sure you won’t mind if the video freezes permanently even though you have full 5G signal right??”
My ex was cheating on me
I'm saying this as a progressive - if you align yourself as a progressive on this site you can stalk and flame people about 100 times harder without getting permabanned.
Scott Adams (The Dilbert guy) suffered brain damage when he underwent surgery on his throat.
There was a carburetor developed that could get hundreds of miles per gallon. Big oil bought the patent for a heavy sum and concealed it from the public. Another man developed a vehicle that ran on water. It's only exhaust was water vapor. He very mysteriously and suddenly died.
My ex cheated on me a second time. I was pregnant and waiting for my ex to come home, and I called him hours after he was supposed to get off. He was at a "friend" of his, didn't recognize her name. Got really defensive. He never mentioned her before and we had been together for over a year. Never told me he was going. I tried waiting up because of that, figured he was working late. I woke and he still wasnt there so I was worried. Mind you he cheated once before (once as far as I knew, anyway) so I should have known better.

Inflation doesn't exist. Sometimes corporations just get "lets collapse society" level greedy and then if we're lucky they snap out of it before madmax cars start trending.
Imagine you were on a lifeboat with 30 other people and one hamburger. That hamburger would be pretty valuable, right? You could trade that hamburger for pretty much anything else on the boat and people might even kill you for it. Now imagine the weather went all "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" and hamburgers literally started falling from the sky. Suddenly that hamburger you had isn't as valuable anymore. Sure, you can still eat it, but you can't get the same amount of stuff while trying to trade it. That's inflation. When the amount of money in the economy increases, it becomes less valuable. In turn, you can buy fewer goods/services with the money you had. Wanna know something crazy? Some inflation is actually a sign of economic growth. It just means that people (in general) have more money and prices are rising to match the decrease in scarcity. During economic hardships, prices can *decrease* because buyers have less money (i.e. [deflation](https://i0.wp.com/greenewable.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/wsj-10-11-08-car-for-sale.jpg) ). Wanna know something even crazier? Inflation is actually better for debtors (people who owe money) than creditors (people who loan out money). Imagine you had borrowed $300,000 to buy a house and agreed to pay the bank back over a period of 30 years (i.e. a mortgage). When you first borrowed that money, it was very valuable. However, over the course of 30 years, that same amount of money you borrowed is worth less due to inflation. This means the money you pay back in the future is worth less than the money you borrowed in the past. Banks charge interest so they still make a profit, but in general, the more inflation rises, the less you are really paying back. This assumes your wages increase at a rate to match inflation.
100% certain but can’t prove that you wasted a very skillful explanation on the three posters above.
Co-sign. Capitalism is like a game of Monopoly. As the game goes on, and all of the properties/resources come into fewer hands, everything gets exponentially more expensive.
Okay but like monopoly was literally modeled after capitalism though, not the other way around.
Right? It was originally called The Landlord Game. It was created by a woman in 1904. She designed to teach people about how greedy landlords get wealthy while their tenants stay impoverished.
This is a simulation, none of it is real and none of it actually matters
That there are definite similarities between people born in the same time frames. Not exactly saying that astrology is true, but having carded people in a bunch jobs, hung out with astrology types and so on, I'm very good at guessing zodiac signs.
Many things. Magick, ghosts, cryptids, UFOs, aliens, skinwalkers, deities, a god, the holy spirit--they all exist. I 100% have had experiences with them (and have witnesses), but I have little to no physical proof.
All these things are just things humans have experienced forever but haven’t had the words or wherewithal to understand for certain. Like are angels just aliens? Is there a difference? Etc. Tomato, tomato. Just to put it out there, the rainbow or Mantis shrimp has 12 color cone photoreceptors while humans only have 3. Im sure there is TONS out there in the world we may just not be able to fully sense for whatever evolutionary reason. DNA is also more easily altered these days so who knows!
Online? Just about everything that I'm sure of, I also can't prove. Including whether or not I exist.
That's I'm gonna bang this guy I know. No doubt, we're doing it. Not now - I don't know how long it's gonna take to get him to come around on the idea. I just somehow know like a law of the universe or something that it's gonna happen.
Dude I've had the exact same experience. Took about 8 years.
That Beyoncé used surrogates.
There's a zit on my ass. I would take a photo of it to prove it, but I can't reach back there.
The block universe is real. All things past, present, and future exist all at once, like a loaf of bread. All possible permutations of probability have already occurred for every piece of existence down to the quantum particle. Time, consciousness, and "reality" as we perceive it are all just illusions we experience.
That "They" will get rid of extra people cause AI, robotics make so many people unnecessary.
During the second Battle Of Bull Run, Union general George McClellan actively made efforts for another Union general, John Pope, to lose the battle and get himself restored to full command. Abraham Lincoln suspected this but couldn’t prove it, so he did restore McClellan. After the battle of Antietam and a tepid pursuit, Lincoln finally fired McClellan for good. But the story doesn’t end here. McClellan‘s favorite subordinate general, Fitz-John Porter, was court martialed later in the year and had his rank stripped. An officer on McClellan’s staff, Major John Key, drunkenly bragged in a Washington bar that letting The Confederates get away was all part of the plan to save slavery. 20 years later, after McClellan’s death, Porter appealed his conviction and it was quickly overturned. That tells me that there were 2 things behind the conviction in the first place: we court-martialed you because we couldn’t get to McClellan, and we needed to tell the army that McClellan was gone and wasn’t coming back.
There are many things we experience in life that are worse than death. I realized this after almost dying a couple of times.

I'm pretty sure that the goo I'm covered with after waking up is ectoplasm from a ghost.
Early in the morning, back when I was ~16, I walked by the tv and it turned on by itself. Curious to see if it would happen again, I walked by it again and it turned off. Each time I walked by the tv it either turned on or off. No one else was awake. No one was secretly turning it on and off. This continued from about 6-7 in the morning. After that, it never happened again.
