@Selma nah, they just have enough institutional power to distract from it
I wasn't afraid of the dark until I listened to too much Missing 411 and now I have to go walk my trash out to the curb down a long drive way on a hill in the dark forrest
My power bill is stupid I’ve been sleeping with the lights on
Do y’all remember the show “are you afraid of the dark”
I tried explaining this to a friend a while ago
I wouldn't be able to sleep with lights on.
Did I miss anything in the fireside yesterday?
That show was terrifying, and the kids looked 20 to me, and now when I watch it they look 11.
It was generic early 2000s kids repertoire
he asked me, "what side wins, the one that does whatever it wants, or the one that doesn't?"
and I'm like wtf dude
I have a really vivid imagination. I’ll see the dark and my mind will just automatically create horrifying images
doing whatever you want never looks good
@ophiuchus from a math ph d background, numberphile is a good channel in that it gets people interested in math, but he pulls fast ones sometimes and sometimes says some things that aren't quite true, and doesn't explain his steps. But as far as introducing interesting topics for interested people it's pretty cool
The clown episode of are you afraid of the dark gave me haunting nightmares as a child.
Sleeping in the dark isn't even enough for me, I have to use a sleep mask. I want *void*
I remember the carousel episode a lot
okay I just have to say this
really interesting
@NITRODUBS Same, isn't it great?
does anyone else think that "numberphile" is kind of a bad name because of... uh... what it sounds like?
same with "computerphile"
it just sounds a bit... wrong
@Selma @NITRODUBS The scene in the Dark Crystal where the little dog thing jumps out gave me nightmares. <:sad:366743316475281408>
any *-phile* is pretty bad
Wowwww, the dark crystal. I remember the word 'gelfling'. Genndy Tartakosky was supposed to be making a sequel to that, but nothing came from that : (
'X'-phile is bad optics.
@Jacob yes I thought that too
It is a stupid name but its better than the alternatie "Numperphillia"
about the -phile thing
@NITRODUBS if you're spending too much on power, get a solar lamp. They turn on when they don't detect light, just put it in your window
@Walt totally lmao. On one hand I’m good at art because of my imagination, on the other hand I have seen the face of Satan and the less I run the closer he gets to me.
I have a ton of trouble falling asleep. I pretty much can't if it's not in complete sensory deprivation. I turn off the lights, turn the temperature down to like 65, put on a sleep mask, turn on an external white noise machine, and then put on noise cancelling headphones with more white noise.
this is after ODing on melatonin
It's like calling someone who vapes a "vapist"
