Holy shit, how fucking unhinged. This is getting saved.

Edit: I like the two guys who show up and press themselves against the glass. I had a friend in highschool that I'd do dumb shit like that with. I would have been the one in the grey shirt, my friend would have been the one in the green shirt.

You don't understand. They have total power but chose not to use it. They just sit there in their little crowns and tiaras and do opossum things.

Everett, you'd better fucking start running before I cave your skull in. I will shit in your mouth and make you tell me it tastes like fudge if you tell an enthusiastic fact-seeker to fuck off like that. Imo, we need more people like that, shut the fuck up.

Right, but how many of those reactions were because the animal thought they were looking at another animal, as opposed to reactions because they're seeing themselves in an unexpected place?

I mean, I bet many animals can see their own reflection when they go to get water; if you only ever saw your reflection in puddles or lakes, it'd be potentially terrifying to suddenly see yourself materialize in the middle of the jungle.

Edit: imagine going about your day and suddenly your reflection just appears. You've never seen your reflection somewhere other than the surface of the water; and that was distorted and ripply. Now your reflection is in the jungle, clear and lifelike, without a drop of water in sight. This is potentially a huge change in your little world. Your mind breaks and reality crumbles. Your awareness comes and goes, hypnotized by your reflection as you hiss in fear. You are not sure how long it has been. Seconds become hours, you live, staring into the abyssal depths of your own pupils. What eldritch horrors lay behind those eyes? What monster could distort reality in this manner? So much time has passed over such a small timespan. You've lived out thirty lives now. Thirty cycles of life, death and rebirth. Suddenly, time snaps back and in a moment of lucidity, you smack the mirror and your reflection distorts, freeing you from your reflection's spell so you can run away and live another day.

You know, something like that.

Why is no. 5 drinking her own bathwater? The blurry transition between her blue shirt and her neck makes it look like she's up to her neck in water, and she has a straw.

I've always wondered how many animals can pass the self-recognition test, but either A) they don't do it immediately so they don't get counted as passing, or B) they just don't give a fuck.

Edit: or C) they get excited by their own reflection despite knowing it's themselves. Or D) they think you're doing some kinda crazy magic by showing them an image of themselves which is why they act like the mirror is showing a different animal (fear and/or aggression).

At 444 consoles there's a real chance he may have some consoles hooked up that have no emulator due to their rarity or some unique, hard-to-reproduce characteristic.

Imagine a world in which our monarchs are opossums.

This is cool; but for portrait mode, consider putting buttons on the side of the phone. So you "play" the phone kinda like a trumpet or something when you type in portrait. It'd obviously be meant for one-handed use, but it'd potentially be cool. I can't see myself using a device like that to type because I'm too used to using the touch-screen keyboard, but I could see myself using it as macros (press a button launch an app, scroll up/down, swap to a specific app, etc).

That's not the part I'm concerned about; I'm concerned about the fact that there are almost 2 decades of videos on YouTube. Like, I don't know how many videos are on YouTube, but it's gotta be in the billions at this point. Where is that all gonna go? Who's gonna archive it? You think YouTube will spend the money to archive it all if they're going bankrupt?
