The hexbear instance. I have a fascination where everytime I see a post I can't help but try to understand the thought process logically. I can only ever come up with deliberate misinformation or genuine dillusion.

I realised the rest of this comment is just me stream of consciousness trying to understand something so feel free to stop reading here.

One thing I personally can't understand is their defending to the death of every socialist government. But by that I mean every government that has called itself socialist or been called socialist by the US as some sort of justification for undermining them, not if they've actually done anything socialist. Like do we have to simp for North Korea. They are probably the furthest country in the world from what I'd consider socialist. Every government does bad things you don't have to defend them because they ideologically allign with you on paper. And the same logic goes for any country that doesn't allign with you having only bad ideas and obviously they then must be fascist/ follow nazi ideology. Like what?? Is there no nuance here. Please if there are any actual genuine humans on hexbear can you talk to me about that instance. I what's going on over there?

That we are emotional animals that sometimes have logical thoughts. But we live in a society (at least in the west) where we have to pretend that we are logical animals that sometimes have emotions.

The actual reality of humanity. Everything we do is fucking weird if you overthink it, and I constanly have a feeling of surrealness when focused on the real world around me instead of lost in my own thoughts. Reality is too real to be real.

I dissociate a lot so that's probably why.

Imagine like.. a fully transparent bus full of people, just a bunch of people sitting on nothing in a group flying through the air. If that was normal, that would be... normal. We wouldn't question it, we'd just be so cool with that happening.

And that's the exact feeling I get a lot throughout my day.

Hi - are you me? I’ve been so deep down this rabbit hole lately, regularly having little existential crises.

In my opinion, nothing should exist. But at the same time, nothing shouldn’t exist - because nothing is still something. The fact that we are here is both baffling and eerie.

My other hot take has been that this moment right now could be the only moment. Who’s to say that anything has ever happened? If we give context to an LLM, doesn’t that determine its reality? The more I research neural networks, the more it feels like the ‘big bag’ is more akin to flipping on the CPU, processing at the speed of light. But even then - if our existence isn’t real, whatever is beyond us is still something, which still shouldn’t exist.

It’s all very weird - makes me feel like nothing matters, but also that the only things which matter are the things that I make matter. And I’m just having this human experience. Very weird. Would not recommend.

The human body. We often take it for granted, but when you start looking at all the different things individually, you'll see how enormously complex the human body is.

They found a new organ (nr 54 IIRC) just some years ago.

News and people giving a shit about sports ball.

[-] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

It's fun to play and complete in your local sportsball league. It's exercise while being fun. Spectating is fun when watching a sport that you also play. Seeing the pros play is it properly lets you bring something back to your own game. I don't actually care who wins. That's tribalism.

Going to a "sports" bar to watch fat people get drunk and place bets makes no sense to me.

I also hate sports trivia. It's just celebrity trivia but for people to star on the field instead of in movies. If I get asked who won a particular award in a particular sport in a particular year, I would have absolutely no idea. If you aksed me to explain the "infield fly" rule, I've got that covered.

And yes, a full 8 minutes of the nightly news covering sports is just insane. I just don't care.

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

IMO, this is the most rational stance to have, regarding sportsball.
