All the gold is just supernova waste as are you..

Is there a notification service that lets people know when loops.video is accepting new members?

What if my mom sucks?

Mushroooooms 🤗

What the fuck is that yellow background? "Hey! Fuck your eyes! Don't use our website!"

Me when mushroom

First question - "When was your mother born???"

Me: - "I'm not asking my mom that!!! You think I'm going to ask her when she was born???"

Conversely, I am merely a model of my own behaviors, thoughts, goals, and dreams. The "me" I was twenty years ago is not the same "me" that exists now, at that point I didn't exist, I wasn't yet alive, but the thoughts, behaviors, and memories of that person helped grow into the person I am today. My memories of those times before are old and reconstructed, I don't have the same memories entirely, I have memories of memories of memories, and who knows if the memories I have today will be the same in twenty years. When I die as an individual, the model of my self and my behaviors will be carried by the people I knew and was close to, and parts of me will still exist as the behaviors I had were picked up on, my views and ideas turned into memes carried into the people I relayed them to, the patterns that were "me" now part of everyone as they grow and change into new people themselves. I am not just genetic data, that was just the foundation of my existence, the soil in which I grew, but as I grew and reasoned and modeled myself from my surroundings, I also gave myself back to the connections I made. In that way I am either a continuation of all the humanity I was before and will eventually be as long as the ideas exist, or limited to the self I am in the present, and only for the brief part that I am actually present for.

For good or ill, it has those TikTok vibes.

neat!

The sound didn't match the lip movement 😥

Oh to be young and feel every new personal discovery so viscerally!

"Life started exactly once!" Well... For sure at least once. Could have happened multiple times since then too. Convergent evolution is also a thing, and perhaps some modern life forms can trace their origins back to a different starting point, but happen to have followed a similar enough path that it's hard to say for sure. We know positively it happened once, but cannot conclusively say it has never happened again.
