To men, ironing is not a pressing affair

The sun moon thing is one of the things that makes me think that just maybe we do live in a simulation. The moon is gradually moving away from us - once it would have been huge in the sky and covered the entire sun; one day it won't be big enough to cover the sun. And we happen to be alive at the precise moment it fits exactly. Hmmm.

Other than that, the chances of intelligent life - or what passes for it - seems infinitesimally small. So you can pick from the first cell division, the mass extinctions, the creation of oxygen.

Must be almost enough for you to conclude that intelligent design is the most likely explanation, no?

A bit personal, but having my ribcage opened with an electric saw, my heart stopped for a few hours, my lungs deflated, and a machine keeping me alive while about 6 people worked in various capacities around the operating table without inadvertently pulling any of the leads or tubes out (or maybe they did, how would I know?), one of them stitching harvested blood vessels onto my heart with teeny-tiny stitches still blows my mind.

If this is all a simulation, the level of minute detail in it is astounding.. Either way, modern medicine is a miracle.

The double slit experiment and what it means for various theories including "living in a simulation".

Wave-particle duality as gpu rendering-engine hacks is a proper mind-****.
 
I was born at Parkside maternity hospital in 1958. Fast fwd 40 years after working as a Sparky and training to be a psych nurse I eventually got a job as a charge nurse at Parkside which was now a mental health centre.
My car was in for a service and my Mam came to pick me up. She asked to look around. She recognised the setting and walked through 2 sets of doors and down a corridor. Turned into an office and said this was the delivery room where I had you. It was my office 😯.
Saw old plans many years later and my office was the delivery room. I had come a long way 😄😄.
 
In 2012, Adlene Guedioura won the "Goal of the Season" award for two different clubs.

I think that might just be the end of the thread.
