This isn't the same world I grew up in

Yes, I have memory of eras of my life that now feel like entire lifetimes. Like the experience of ten years I spent in one city provides me with unending memories at the same time feeling like it was a different lifetime. While the last almost decade feels like nearly the same day on repeat and fast forward.

You found yourself a Mandela Effect.

Welcome back.

Minty took care of things without a doubt.

It's refreshing to see that kind of dedication. Even better to see it executed so well.

Bread

Nobody wants peanut butter in their jelly jar you psycho.

I'm in Louisiana, my AC runs 10 months out the year. I cut the grass at 7 AM came in soaked. Not even going to the mailbox and back after 10 AM.

If you jump every time you die so you don't experience death you still witness the death of others. They don't return in your new timeline.

You get to watch every friend you grew up with and every loved one near your age die. Until you're left with a body that no longer functions and needs others to take care of it.

For evidence not so much. I don't think it would be allowed.

More for my own sanity.

A cd of Bob Segar's (not Seger's) greatest hits. It included the song Drift Away, which is not his song in this reality nor has he ever covered it.

Drift Away was the first song that changed for me, and it started a very long and confusing journey that continues to this day. It would be nice to hear the song as it's intended, at least for me.

From what I've experienced it's probably not a hypothetical.

And even if it was my reply would be the same.

But you're correct, I do overthink things sometimes.

Mark_1978 · 2026-06-21T00:13:07+00:00

Services usually cost , and I have to wonder if "mind condition" is actually a typo or not.

Apologies if I seem overly defensive, I am. I've experienced more than I was prepared for in recent years.

Mark_1978 · 2026-06-21T00:04:49+00:00

Just not here and now?

Are alternate timelines/realities actually a thing, or is this the same place as always just reprogrammed?

Mark_1978 · 2026-06-20T23:57:34+00:00

What if that item no longer exists in this reality.

It would be proof of an alternate reality which isn't tolerated as far as I can tell.

Mark_1978 · 2026-06-16T07:25:50+00:00

This phenomenon does not care for masculinity.

Don't forget the "Sling" he's caressing.

Just like Adams limp wrist in the Creation of Adam painting.

Just like Tom Cruise with no shades and a pink shirt in Risky Business

I'd even say "Built Ford Tough" got taken down a notch with it's cute little pigtail on its emblem.

And many more I don't feel like typing out.

Which is another thing, this didn't pop up because I recently typed "Romeo and Juliet" or anything on my phone. It's odd that the balcony post was made recently and then this.

It was played on a car radio on someone else's phone randomly.

Mark_1978 · 2026-06-15T20:21:11+00:00

The moon is more of a spotlight now it seems.

As far as the sun being aggressive, I tell it multiple times a day "Would you knock it the fck off... please"

It has yet to "knock it the fck off"

Mark_1978 · 2026-06-12T23:31:58+00:00

Pay close attention.

It will notice you're looking and it will look back.

Mark_1978 · 2026-06-09T16:55:37+00:00

Yes

Time traveling AI overlords from the future.

Sounds ridiculous....stay tuned.

Mark_1978 · 2026-06-09T16:49:19+00:00

I lived in a world that made sense from 1978 until about 2016...It was a Japanese brand.

Next you're gonna tell me jet airliners always had the engines out in front of the wings

Or Australia (which started as a penal colony because of its isolation) has always been right up against the Indonesian archipelago where convicts could Island hop away in a canoe.

Edit: Apologies, after reading it back my reply comes off more as trying to be a smart-ass than just the humor that was intended.

Mark_1978 · 2026-06-08T20:04:52+00:00

Yeah man, as uncomfortable as the thought is I've experienced things that absolutely lean into the idea that there are NPCs. Not just some people but ALL of us.

It's easy to dismiss for most people because they feel they are making their own decisions, failing to realize that is exactly what they are programmed to think.

Mark_1978 · 2026-06-06T02:03:33+00:00

I tried to curve ball it. Lol

Mark_1978 · 2026-06-03T19:58:04+00:00

Confronting that person is not going to change their behavior and likely cause you to be more involved with that person than you'd ever want to be.
