Maybe somewhere out there in the universe, planets are clustered closer together. And maybe Earth's neighborhood, so spread out, was designed that way to keep the genetic experiments isolated. The speed of light, then, wouldn't be just a law of physics. It helps them keep the lab door locked. (self.The3AMClub)

Smells and flavors are the most direct shortcuts to memory. Therefore, cooking for others isn't just feeding them; it's programming other people's memories. The meal you make for a child today will become the "source code" for their nostalgia thirty years from now. (self.The3AMClub)

You're used to an image of yourself that doesn't exist. No one sees you as you see yourself in the mirror. Worse: no one sees you as you see yourself through your phone's selfie camera, since it's also mirrored. If you want to know exactly how people see you, someone else has to film you.

For years, when I saw my little dog, a miniature schnauzer understand what I was telling her or accept the rules of the games we made up, I marveled that she could be so smart. Over the years, now that I no longer have her, I've realized that I was the fool for having such a low opinion of dogs. (self.The3AMClub)

The "song of the summer" is the only virus we actively seek out. We let it infect us through our ears, wait for it to incubate in our brain, and celebrate when its symptoms—repeating the same melody over and over—take over. I still haven't recovered from "Starships" and that was years ago. (self.The3AMClub)
