Of the senses we're familiar with or aware of, anyway, e.g. taste/smell/hearing/vision/touch.

This question always comes to mind whenever I see people jogging along sidewalks, and wonder. Sidewalks are generally concrete or cement or something, which is definitely harder than dirt, so...

It seems like it'd get increasingly impractical as the years go on to hundreds of thousands and millions of years to write them out that way, but then...I guess technically one may already do this with the preceding years, so future's fair game for it?

So I know some hair may be donated for the making of hairpieces or the like, but...I don't imagine the same can be done for shavings/trimmings, nor do I imagine most cut hair is donated...

Is there like a massive hairball section of waste treatment facilities for shaved/trimmed hair?

Other creative toys/products that come to mind would be, say, Play-Doh as a sort of children's intro to...Clay, I suppose? But in this vein without being exclusively directed towards children (albeit I imagine many may be).

Always enjoyed a creative kind of toy to mess around with.

Wrestle wrestle till wrestle doesn't wrestle right, wrestle?

I have some decent ideas as to why, I'm asking mainly as a hopefully fun contribution here, and to maybe learn some interesting plumbing info!

By this I mean, organize around some single person for leadership, or in other contexts focus on a popular figure. Even societies that tend to be described as more collectively-organized/oriented tend to do this.

People are people and are as flawed as one another, so this pervasive tendency to elevate others is odd to me. It can be fun and goofy as a game, but as a more serious organizing or focal principle, it just seems extremely fragile and prone to failure (e.g. numerous groups falling into disarray at the loss of a leader/leader & their family, corruption via nepotism and the like, etc.).

Not that I'm complaining, I just find it kinda interesting given how so much stuff demands you sign up & register to do much of anything on a service or site.

Is it simply a cool cultural element that's persisted since IRC's been around? Also shoutout to all the old hat IRC folks out there maintaining their servers and enabling drop-in questions this way, much appreciated!

I'm sure this will vary for many people depending on their schools, where/when they were taught, and the like, so I'm interested to see what others' experiences have been with this.

I'm also curious about what resources some have used to learn better research skills & media literacy (and found useful) if their school didn't adequately teach either (or they may have whiffed on it at the time).

Suppose the internet was still a major success and was sustainable without compromising for commercial interests. How do you think societies around the world may have changed, or not?

Consider the optimistic angles of such an unencumbered space extended out from the internet's earlier days to the present. What if some of those possibilities had been realized?

Theme parks are pretty wicked, so I'm wondering if you had your choice of theme and a ridiculous budget to work with, what kind of theme park would you love to build?
