    I mean we hear the sound of our blood rushing through the veins of our ears at all times, but our brain filters it out. That the “sound of the ocean” you hear when listening into a conch, it just amplifies the bloodwaves. Other fun stuff our brain does: Our eyes are actually perceiving the world upside down and with a blind spot right in the middle.



  • And this is why good people who got rich don’t stay rich and people who do are usually selfish assholes. Elon Musk bought Twitter for 44 billion, he could have literally built hundreds of amusement parks for disabled people with the same money. Or do literally a thousand other things to make life for other people better. Instead he bought a toxic social media platform to make it even more toxic.












  • So, I’m from East Germany and was still a small child when the wall came down. When I went to West Berlin for the first time in my life with my parents just days after the borders were opened we went into a big shopping mall. There I was flabbergasted at the variety of sheer stuff to buy and just stood there with an open mouth. An older woman saw me, approached me and asked me if I was “from the East”. I could only nod looking up at her. Then she gave me twenty D-Mark and told me to buy something nice for myself.
