This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy. Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.
-Douglas Adams
Correct on every damn count. Even though I have my little digital watch.
Fantastic author with a fantastic set of books. The bit about how humans can fly will always make me laugh my ass off. Apparently we possess the capability of flight but we’re doing it wrong. The trick is to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
Douglas Adams is a fucking genius.
Agreed, Adams was a genius with an incredible sense of humour. When I was 12 years old I started reading the HHGTTG books and I loved them all. The Dirk Gently books were tremendous fun as well. But the real hidden gem was his book about animals going extinct (Last chance to see). A friend of mine taped a reading session of Adams at his university in Germany back in the day. He later converted it to mp3 files and many years later I still love listening to that gig every few months or so. Let me know if you’d like a copy of it.
I would LOVE a copy of it! That sounds truly fantastic. I’m on my 8th replay of Baldurs Gate 3 (not like I finished any of them yet) and most of the time I’m just watching Trek in the background. Love to shake it up with some classic Doug. If you don’t mind of course.
Check your Inbox then. :)
I have and I love you.
Aw, you’re too kind. And who doesn’t love legendary lemmy memer Stamets? :)
I wouldn’t say legendary. That’d Picard Maneuver. I’m just humbly plugging away whenever I can be distracted from Baldurs Gate 3.
Oh my gosh, please link me that file. Sounds amazing.

If you kick it, it will cause spine damage, which could cause its offspring to develop more rigid vertebrae, which will improve your back problems. However, your depression may worsen, due to the abuse.
My boy here still believing in Lamarckism
Maybe their brains would develop a better defense mechanism to cope with the abuse, so maybe your depression would be better also!
Alcohol is already a thing. There’s no need to evolve any further coping mechanisms.
This is all your fault, fish face.

Do you even lift bro?
Seriously though, doing some exercise could fix both of those problems. Kicking extinct fish doesn’t count.
Nah, exercise makes me even more miserable
If you say so. However, feel free to be one of those people who discover later in life how their quality of life drastically went up with a bit of jogging or going to the gym. “If I had figured this out younger, I would have …” and so on.
