This isn't something I "think about", so to speak, but rather something that made me think... I was surprised by how anxious and depressed something so simple made me: I found myself aimlessly scrolling through the years on my calendar app... I stopped on the year 2462 and saw that my birthday would be on a Sunday.
I've been thinking about it for days now and I can't get over how much it's affected me. Being that close to being able to visualize a time you can't experience is super frustrating (to me anyway).

I wonder what it would be like to wake up in a hospital bed but as my much younger self, finding out that I have dreamt my future while in a coma. Then I start to remember what stocks went big so that my younger self can invest money, and how would I earn the start up cash, and could I convince anyone to help me? And.....since I know that I would take a completely different career path, how would I ensure I'd still meet my current husband? And would we have the same kids? I really have spent a whole lot of time on this what-if.

Something that might interest you

There was a really great story about a man who was knocked out and lived a full life in his mind. Had a wife, children and then was awoken by a lamp.

Cool stories! But the second one was so sad......now I'll have to figure that bit out for when I wake up. :)

Yes, it does, doesn't it? Then again, as someone who has struggled with depression on and off for almost 40 years, when I find myself thinking about this too much, it's a sign to talk to someone.
But I still cannot honestly say that death doesn't just sound like such a relief from all the day to day noise and worry. Like going to bed at the end of a long, hard day.

Sometimes when I'm hiking I think about salamanders, salamanders with tits, and how awesome that would be. Then I remember that they walk close to the ground, causing their nipples to rub constantly...making them bleed profusely.

Well, you win the prize. This has to be the only thing out of all these replies that has never popped in my head. But now it will.

Whenever hiking to a campground at a national park there will usually be a three-sided wooden shelter to house people from the elements, and inside that shelter there is usually a journal people will write in and sometimes when you read the entries from different people you might find that one gem of imagination. The story I told in my previous comment was one of these journal entry gems and also included a very crudely drawn comic strip of this salamander with bloody nipples, it was by and by the funniest trail entry I have ever read, but the credit goes to the trail alias of Tree Hugger. If you are out there Tree Hugger then I would like to thank you for amazing, inspiring and insightful story about salamander tits.

This is the internet, so no matter how many people tell me I'm wrong, it cannot become a physical fight.

I don't think that the day before rioting and martial law will necessarily be normal. Often there is a build up of bullshit over a period of time that finally make the general population snap.

This one. I think about how Serotonin is almost structurally identical to other Psychadelics like DMT & LSD. I think about how the entire world looks like it does because of how my eyes work, and how they catch reflections of light. How would you know it was a hallucination if you had been having it since the second you were born?

If I die right now, I won't have to do the 20+ page paper that's due on Tuesday.

Yes but imagine all the paper work involved in the afterlife
[–] chamington 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Meh, it's less than 20 pages I bet
