Random Disorganized Thoughts

I do a lot of thinking and this is where some of that ends up.

If you ever want a laugh, just read the Amazon descriptions on mundane household items. It's amazing how much is vegan these days.

I don't have imposter syndrome, but I'm not a psychiatrist so don't trust me on that.

It's so funny to watch mattress and pillow commercials because they can't put sheets on them for obvious reasons, which suggests that the people in the SleepNumber commercials are insane and sleep on a bare mattress with no blankets.

I feel so conflicted when an idiot driver flies past me doing twice the speed limit but uses their blinker. Like, yeah, stop that, you're gonna kill someone, but also you are, in some ways, better than about half the people on this road.

I'm convinced that dentists sometimes just stab you in the gum to prove a point.

"I told you," *stab stab* "to FLOSS!"

There are 2 reasons why I may not want to hang out:

1. I'm really busy, already have plans, and just can't make time for fun.

2. I have a completely clear schedule and zero plans for the month and was so looking forward to doing nothing that I'm just not in the mood for fun.

The enemy of my enemy is also my enemy.

I hate everyone.

You ever get that shopping cart that's a resistance workout?

If my call is so important to you, then why don't you ANSWER IT!?!

Literally what is a continent?

Most people are taught that there are 7 "continents": Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Australia, and Antarctica. These are separated because they are geographically and culturally distinct from each other. But, like, Europe and Asia are literally connected, and the cultural difference is much more gradual and muddled than Big Continent wants you to believe. Not to mention that the Middle East is usually identified as its own group, and yet for some reason it isn't a continent.

Many people actually combine Asia and Europe into Eurasia, meaning there are 6 continents. And, even further, since Africa, Europe, and Asia are all grouped together in one large general landmass, some people even recognize Afroeurasia, making only 5 continents.

Personally, I feel like the distinction and classification of continents is confusing and unnecessary, so I present the ultimate solution:

Afroeurstralmermersiatica

Africa-Europe-Australia-North America-South America-Asia-Antarctica

AKA: The World

I hate when stoplights flash yellow and function as yield signs.

What do you mean "go when it's clear"; bro it's your job to tell me.

Screw it I'm memorizing standard eye charts to mess with the eye doctors.

I love the fact that we just ignored the Twitter rebrand to X. Massive W for the internet hivemind.

I predict that we are not far off from completely foregoing capitalization in the English language.

Most people don't bother with capitalising the start of a sentence or the pronoun I (seriously, why?) unless it's required as a formality. As such, I don't think we are very far away from dropping it altogether in conversational English.

There's a historic trend of languages becoming looser and looser towards grammar rules because they are usually unnecessary formalities or overcomplicated spellings. Eventually, our current-day English will be as foreign to modern speakers as Shakespeare is to us.

Yes, I posted this in a fit of rage after struggling to understand the nonsensical rules and irregularities of Title Case.

"An Argument on Why Title Case (And, by Extension, All Systems of Grammatical Formality Relating to Capitalization) Should Be Generally Admonished Within the English Language: A Dissertation"

capitalizemytitle.com is a godsend.

I've heard so many horror stories about insurance companies that I think we should rename it to Inmaybeance.
