Those Weird Thoughts You Get At Night That Make You Question Reality: "Onion Rings are vegetable donuts"

Does anyone one else think? I hope so. Does anyone else think way too much? I sometimes do and I think of weird little philosophy/other stuff. Sometimes they are kinda interesting, so here. If anyone else thinks of stuff like that, go ahead and put it here, I'm interested. Everyone, I'm gonna start adding names to this topic! I really think that this post has a lot of potential for funny names, so it's happening! Wanna Suggest names? Do it here
Yay, 3500 views! :D

Here is a copy of a conversation I had (mostly with myself)

Me: This is a sentence.
EternalDestroyer_9: wow
Me: I know right! It's the pinnacle of all human achievement!
Me: Although if you think about it, it is a reaaally weird paradox. In order to a that this is a sentence you have to have a definition of a sentence, but in order to have a definition of a sentence you have to have sentences in your language, if you don't have sentences you don't have a language, but in order to have a language you have to have sentences *DEEP BREATH IN* and a definition for sentences, meaning that languages don't make sense anymore after reading this…

Oh yea, another time I was thinking in this project.

Chaos is weird! Here is a copy of the writing!

“If you have ever messed around with the change color button, you've probably made something like this. Because I was bored, I made one. The funny thing is, this isn't really chaos. Chaos could have everything happen, this program is just a set amount of things that change. For example, real chaos would have the sprites changing, or sounds going off, and even stuff that isn't in scratch. It would also have nothing, because if chaos is everything then it is also nothing, because nothing is part of everything. Idk, it's just something interesting to think about ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Unrelated, but the idea that order is the opposite of chaos is completely wrong (at least in my opinion, you will probably have your own opinion). If chaos is random, then at some point, chaos will become an orderly concept/object/being that has something alike to symmetry. You could run this program for years, and eventually it would look like the mona lisa.”

It will make sense with context…
Also your computer could implode

I think that people think they don't like chaos or that chaos is a bad thing, but it really isn't. Just think about order. Order is a set rules that define what a thing can and can't do pretty much. If our live were based around order we would 1) have awfully boring lives because we would be doing the same thing over and over again, and 2) We would also be having a horrible time, because, if we have too much order then we would have to be filling a set of checkboxes all the time. We would have to be at school/work at the same time, down to the second or it isn't order. We would never be able to be sick, we would all look the same and be the same, there would essentially be no diversity, which is what makes us human. Our lives are also not pure chaos, because there are still rules we have to follow though. We live a mix of chaos and order. Without chaos we would be in the worst place without new things or experiences. Without order we would be living fearfully with the chance of being non existent every moment. With a mix, we would have what we live in now, with new things happening, but contained in a set of few rules instead of everything having its own constraints.

Oooh I have a question for you all:
Can infinity be negative?
Think about it,
If the definition of infinity is “forever expansive”
And the root word in AI's terms:
Gemini AI:
The root words for “expansive” are the Latin words “ex-” meaning “out” and “pandere” meaning “to spread or stretch”. Together, they form the Latin verb “expandere,” which means “to spread out”.
Then if expanding is to spread out, then it is increasing,
The opposite of increasing is decreasing, and decreasing leads to negative.
But, we could also define infinite in another way.
So what do you think?
If I looked over this wrong, and the AI did mess up, please tell me :)

I usually just become really aware of myself… Like,
“Am I actually real?” “Wow, this is really weird, out of everyone I am me??” “My name is actually this..” “Is everything a simulation?”
“I feel like everything is fake” “What if everyone else is fake? What if they're not actually conscious?” “Wait, how did everyone become conscious?”
“What is consciousness?? How did it develop??” “Why did evolution decide to make us aware of ourselves??”
Or I just think about what happens after death or something..
It just feels super weird, lol!
And then the next day it all becomes normal again

If the planet is a sim, it still wouldn't matter much, because you can't do much about it. You have to just go on with your life. However I think that there is evidence that we are products of the big bang and evolution. You can believe what you want, if you think that one or more gods made the planet, go ahead. If you think a giant flying spaghetti created life after getting drunk, go ahead. Just because I don't believe what you do doesn't mean that it isn't true, even if there is no evidence, there is still a chance, however small. Sadly there are going to disagree with what you think and believe, and they might try to get you to go to their beliefs, so you will have to use your judgment and see what you think. The chances that you, are you is pretty much impossible, but everything has to be something. If I rolled a one billion sided die, it has to land on something even though every possibility is incredibly rare. (I think) People are conscious, the evidence is if you pinch someone, you feel it. When you google “define conscience” it will show “an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one's behavior.”. Right and wrong is really weird. We were raised to think that doing certain things is bad or good, but really it doesn't really happen. It's just a trend that went on for a long time as we developed civilization. It does matter though what you do, even if good or bad doesn't matter. Probably the original “good and bad” were whether or not you made the right choices to survive. The reason that evolution made us aware of ourselves, is a survival feature (at least part of the reason). If we know how big we are, then we know where to hide. If we can feel pain, we know when to run. If we feel hungry we know when to eat. The idea of “heaven and hell” is part of a religion, we don't know, and will never know what will happen after we die. It's what makes death so scary. Humans are naturally afraid of the unknown, it keeps us alive. I hope this helps! Just so you know, you are thinking of philosophy, and I think that philosophy is interesting!
Sry about how long this is

I wonder where the idea of right and wrong came from? Politics? A grudge with someone? Religion?
No matter what you think you aren't universally right, there will always be someone who thinks you are wrong. You could think that “This ant is an ant” but someone who doesn't know what an ant is will think otherwise. If you are running for something, there will probably be an opponent who will say that you are wrong and they should win, they might even trick themselves into believing that showing the conflict of beliefs. There could be two religions that believe one thing that others do not and one thinks that they are right and should be believed and the other should not. Someone might have an enemy that is spreading rumors that you do something and that that shouldn't be done. All of that could be what made it, or it might not be. If any of you have an idea of that, please say!

Anyway here's an ant: o]o]0<

Does anyone think about if there are aliens, which there probably is (just not the grey large head thing that you are thinking of) because we have seen planets that can have life on them. What would they look like? Would they have eyes? Would they fly? Would they look even remotely like anything on earth? They probably wouldn't be as smart as us, but that's because we are biased to humans.

I actually had a debate with my brother once on whether humans are the smartest animal. I said we can't know because we have a. no translator and b. we are biased that some stuff is right and wrong and doing some stuff is barbaric and stupid. My idea to show him was to imagine this: Whales have their own language (of which they do) but whenever they pass someone they need to say in whale speak “whoooooooooououououououuuuuuuuuuuu” or the other whale is dumb. Whenever divers and boats pass by, it doesn't say it, so the thing is dumb. We think like that too, but not that specific, it could be other things.

Gotta go get that tenth…
Although I do admit I do think a little bit too much about philosophy, but it's not that bad. Just what I believe are facts (doesn't mean they are facts though, people are gonna think other stuff is facts, not some kid on the internet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

Infinity can be negative, as it is the concept of something going forever. So yes, infinity can be something being negative and decreasing forever.

If God is real, then they would have to technically either be a human creation, or they would have to have been there since an undefined amount of time, and will continue to exist for longer than forever. This is because creation requires creativity, and creativity requires imagination. Imagination comes from experiences, and experiences come from surroundings. Therefore, someone just popping into existence and creating everything is physically and mentally impossible, no matter how godly you are. This is why I'm Agnostic theist.

I'm not christian, but I think the bible has Him (Her? Them?) be there since the dawn of time, however time is a human creation sooooo
Oh hey I just learned the thing I am: Agnostic!
