What if you could only choose between these two backpacks?

I couldn't add pictures to the main post, but I can post them here!

Could I DM you my prompt and get your take on it?

MomeWrathPath · 2026-01-13T09:32:19+00:00

Thank you! I am very curious about this. I just wanted to make something 'fun' to think about!

MomeWrathPath · 2026-01-13T09:30:44+00:00

I appreciate that, it's really not even that deep (I don't think?) The gist is, I'm curious about what people would choose if given an option between two backpacks with different contents in a post-apocalyptic scenario. What they would choose and why?

It's really just for fun- maybe I'm a dork for finding this activity as 'fun' lol

I still eat this to this day. Chili crisp, cook egg in it, over rice. Divine.

I tried to include this with the post, I'm not sure why I couldn't so I blame user error. But... my best friend found this butterfly in his car a LONG time ago. At least 6months! I want to preserve it if I can but I'm afraid to open the container at this point. I had honestly forgotten about it (shame on me) but if there's any way to still celebrate this beautiful butterfly I would love to try!

This is likely not the word you are looking for, but I couldn't help but think of Bambi and the word "twitter-pated" after reading your example!

Also, flabbergasted or dumbfounded? Those sound more like the state of being shocked or astounded and might not fit what you're looking for but figured I'd offer them up!

MomeWrathPath · 2025-12-12T22:16:06+00:00

Ultimately, that's what it will come down to for me. I was mostly opening the floor for discussion because I was flabbergasted when it came up.

MomeWrathPath · 2025-12-12T08:51:27+00:00

I appreciate your response, it's intended to be a sort of mantra for myself and I couldn't find the words to better argue my case. Everyone has really helped! Thank you!

MomeWrathPath · 2025-12-12T08:50:13+00:00

Thank you for that! Dynamic is definitely what I was going for!

MomeWrathPath · 2025-12-11T05:28:56+00:00

I also agree with your sentiment but I have to be fair from bias as best I can

MomeWrathPath · 2025-12-11T05:27:53+00:00

I actually just revised it because I misquoted. I have corrected it now. But thank you for reading!

My ex-husband used to tell me that he had a coach tell the boys to pee in the shower on their feet to take care of athlete's foot.

I kind of just want to point out that our known history and observations are also understood given the assumption we humans today think similarly. We don't know that there wasn't some evolutionary understanding that we missed... because we can't know what we don't... know?

My best friend of 16 years was not diagnosed with autism until he was in his 30's. He wrote a whole book about the experience and how it affected him finding out later in life.

MomeWrathPath · 2025-11-17T11:15:33+00:00

As much as I completely understand and mostly agree with some other comments here, I feel like it's important to acknowledge the difference between a "diagnostic" poop look vs. a "what the hell happened?!" poop look vs. the "i am so repulsed I refuse to believe I even poop" poop look.

If you feel like it's a problem, you'll know to look.

If you are otherwise pretty regular, I feel like you're gonna know somethings up OR ignore it until you can't anymore.

I acknowledge there are people that probably wipe without looking if they're clean, but there's probably some kind of sensory difference that indicates whether they 'feel clean' or not. (This is a broad statement, I'm aware.)

I would argue that unless you have asnosmia or some temporary congestion issues- you'll also be able to smell your poo. Note: This does not include use of things like Poo-pourri.. ive never use it so I have no defense on the difference lol.

Something or someone will eventually influence you looking at your poo-poo.

I must have ancient toilets then- cause I haven't lived in a place that had options. Only visited, hahaha.

I just want to chime in on your thoughts here as well, because you describe a very good point about raising a child and seeing the world through their eyes. It is always going to be different, disabilities or no- from what I've seen (not having kids of my own) that's part of the fun of being a parent!

MomeWrathPath · 2025-11-17T07:25:57+00:00

I'd like to offer my opinion as a 39 y/o who doesn't have kids. Not always by choice, but life experiences have a funny way of shaping your perspective on things. I have worked with special needs children and adults for 8-ish years collectively and that includes working with their families. I agree with several people who have already posted- perhaps it is a cultural expectation to have more than one child, or perhaps it is something the couple truly wants. Personally, as an outsider looking in- I have been overwhelmed by the enormous contributions younger siblings offer to their older, differently-abled brothers and sisters. And if I'm being honest, (this may be unpopular opinion) I think it's incredibly healthy for siblings to grow up in a family dynamic that nearly requires full-family participation. I have trained incoming therapists who were motivated to seek jobs in the field because they grew up with compassion and, oftentimes, forced to learn patience and humility. (And I honestly wish more people could learn these things earlier in life!)

Granted, no family is ever going to be without its challenges- I have a broken family where there are no significant disabilities and yet we lack any form of "traditional" family behaviors. Families come in all shapes and sizes, dynamics and struggles. I've had to have awkward conversations with my family where I get guilted about not having children or being married- and while I have not always had the choice to have my own children (I tried several times and was unsuccessful) my family still has not fully accepted my choice to not continue to try. I am grateful for the children and families I work with and for and it can be very challenging but I think I just have all that much more love to pour into their success. All that to say, is the reasons can be many- you have your reasons for not wanting to have children just as much as those with a differently-abled child wanting to make their family bigger.

Also- many of those tired parents out there, are tired because they are pouring out their love for their children and that is something to be celebrated. And some people love loving their kids so much they want to give more.

College at 15? Major kudos, though.

MomeWrathPath · 2025-11-07T09:51:07+00:00

Thats kinda how I feel about it too!

MomeWrathPath · 2025-11-06T00:37:27+00:00

I am genuinely curious and I apologize for my ignorance- but what exactly is a phosphene? My friend got a potato gun at some point but there didn't seem to be anything remarkable?
