"What if none of this is real? What if I'm actually imagining all of this, and am really in a psych ward because of it?"
Or, more hypothetically; "If a giant monster showed up, how would I react? I feel like I probably wouldn't because it's a giant monster, it might just be in my head, so if everyone sees me freak out, when in reality only I can see it, I'd be labeled as crazy." Basically, I'd rather be killed by a monster than seen as crazy.

What if none of this is real?
Yeah, like the theory that life really isn't real, but we're really just in an elaborate computer simulation. That freaks me out.

Do spiders get cancer?
[–] Alias_Unknown 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
That's actually correct, or so says Google. For years I've been attempting to give spiders cancer, by blowing cigarette smoke at them. I never knew if it was effective until one day I googled it.

I imagine dying, not out of a desire to, but as a morbid curiosity. I imagine what it would be like to be in a head on collision, what exactly would happen if I were shoot in the head, what it would feel like to fall to my death, etc.

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?

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.

I think of my age, in my head. Then I use that as a starting point to make comparisons against all of my former life. Something like "I'm 31 years old. One month ago, I was _____. One year ago, I was _____. Since then, I've changed my mind about _____. ____ and _____ are no longer important people in my life, but _____ and _____ have become very close."
It gives me perspective on where I've been and how I got where I am. Helps me understand where I'm going.

Do you ever use this information to reform links with people from the past? Whenever I reach out to old friends I'm met with silence and indifference
[–] Puptaw 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
No, If they are in your past that's where they should stay. If they liked you you would still be friends with them. Sometimes that time machine is better off left in the parking space.

No, not really. Usually, if I drifted from someone, I consider the reason we lost touch and just let it go. Mostly it's just logistics. That person or I have moved away, or got married, took a new job. I have plenty of people in my life who do want to talk to me, so I try to enjoy what I have today.
