What are odd things which are intriguing to you?

Every time I see a story about a person who escaped North Korea I find it intriguing. After spending your whole life in prison, adapting to the outside world must be hard.


What are odd things which are intriguing to you?

• Ghosts, and communication with them
• aliens
• the possibility of other dimensions
• cryptids in general
• hoodoo and voodoo practice
• machine engineering at home
• minerals (like crystals and precious metals and gemstones)
• battery technology
• urban exploration of abandoned secret military complexes and what they could have possibly been used for
• ancient treasure hunting
• gold recovery from scrap electronics
• metal electroplating

Brooks was here...

I do enjoy urban exploration videos on YouTube. Some are abandoned old buildings or underground tunnels but the best ones are when they give the history and the story of what they were once used for. Old hospitals are the best for creepyness factor!

• gold recovery from scrap electronics

i find that funny when somebody melts like million tonnes of metal to get 1g of gold.

Still waiting on the first superheroes to emerge from that

• videos that call out on human behavior (influencer/artist mishaps, weird news)
• vintage restoration
• geniuses - when I'm intrigues by someone's work i tend to follow them wherever

It's called fashion, sweetie, look it up.

Constant, mix-media proof of how further and society is falling into total idiocy. Finest example would be crypto scams from net celebs - people who are mostly broke as hell, who should understand the value of hard-earned money, willingly up and give it away into obvious and complete scams one can see 100 miles away had anyone actually used this vast pool of information to educate themselves instead of doom-scrolling TitKok brain rot.

I've been watching the decline of humanity happen in real time after smartphones came out, and it quickened with things like Vine and TikTok.

I will always say that at large, internet should've been gatekept. Cheap things should've never allowed access to it to keep majority of room temp IQ populace to things like group MMS and maybe occasional, 1 social media thing, and that's it. Idiocy spreads like a bush fire and when you encourage it to do so effortlessly - oh it will.

Vintage commercials! Usually 60’s and 70’s. I literally have tons of DVD’s of them and playlists on YouTube. Brings me back to times I never were and depending on the mood can be calming or scary. Usually when I need sleep or background noise, I put them on.

The fact that the light spectrum we see is roughly 5% of theoretical waves we should be able to see.

That if we had evolved differently, we could have totally different physics.

There's a small percentage change that our maths, physics, science in general might be completely wrong (again, because we are limited by how we perceive nature).

What happens after death. Scares me the idea of not being, not feeling.
Always find tragic when a person cease to exist because I start thinking what actually made that being conscious. Call it soul, brain activity, spirit... whatever.

The mere idea of emptiness in outer space and the relatively small chance of life forming somewhere makes me wonder if it's by design or just casualty of entropy.

Unknown exotic physics at extreme events, yet to be discovered and measured opening the possibility to new physics, materials and technological progress.

I believe lightspeed is the limit that prevents us from escaping "the simulation".
How come light acts as particle & frequency at the same time AND is affected by Gravity? This I believe is by design, not another casualty.

Multiverse might be real.

Chemistry, I hate that shit.

The amount of consumism, hipocricy, unloyalty, disrespect and lack of critical thinking and problem solving skills nowadays is impressive.

We're here for a limited time after not being since the beggining of time and will cease to exist forever after we die, can't believe people still gets attached/obsessed to meaningless bullshit.

People believing "morality" makes the world a better place.

People not adopting a techno meritocracy just because personal inconvenience. Democracy is a lie and a failed ideology, just like morality.

English language redundancy because it's not a good language to begin with.

Odd, if you knew how to use it. its a good language.

That if we had evolved differently, we could have totally different physics.

Forget english. what universe that makes sense? in fact, you've put words togther, but none of it makes sense. your whole post is just gibberish.

Thanks for proving my point, as always Flame.
You certainly are from the special kind.

Do you mean special like gifted or the kind of special that rides the short bus to school? I’m a bit of both myself.

Special as in: "I'm Monolingual and proud of it"

I am too. Tried to learn Spanish to be able to actually talk with most of my neighbors here, but once it got to the point they were at “every word is gendered”, I couldn’t retain anymore. Took me a year just to get to that part.
