I just had this hyper-realistic dream and like. I don’t even know what to make of this lmao
I was sitting in this park, on a bench, looking up at the night sky and all the stars and stuff, and I blinked and suddenly the entire sky was different. I’m talking different constellations, the sky absolutely packed with billions more stars, some so close they’re massive. I’m like wtf and suddenly I realise there’s an old man sitting next to me, dressed in like 1940s clothing, also looking up at the sky.
before I can ask him if he’s you know, noticed, he speaks, without looking away from the sky.
“this is what the universe really looks like,” he tells me.
“oh,” I say. a pause. “…can you put it back?”
he smiles and nods. I look up. the sky has gone back to normal.
“what do I do with this information?” I ask, looking at him again.
he turns his head and, smiling, looks me dead in the face. "be careful.“
Yes, stars are further away from Earth than the moon! Don’t let poetic license distract you from what is an actually very useful way of thinking. I’m not where I want to be yet, not by a long shot; but I’ve reached this far trying to get there.
hey so the other day i saw some nail polish that said “formaldehyde free”, and, like, just let me take a second to say that i didn’t know some nail polish had formaldehyde?
but the point of this post is that it gave me an absolutely great idea to add “___ free” on products that have never conceivably contained that thing in the first place.
“try my new fruit snacks, they’re 100% gravy free!” it is, actually, a completely true statement. i’m not lying by any means. but the sheer thought of what this message could possibly imply strikes instant fear into the heart of the consumer.
