What are the conditions for entanglement to occur for particles? Do all of those conditions need to be met, or only some of them? If only some, which are non-negotiable? Is there or could there be a macroscopic equivalent of entanglement? I need to research this….

If all living things are simply slivers of the same unifying consciousness, then does that not mean that caring for or comforting someone or something else is actually an act of self-care?

I am a philomath, which is a term I enjoy far more than geek or nerd, for the record.

Where can you reduce clutter in your life?
I’m going to assume that this question refers to physical places, not my mind…because that would top the list if it did.
Aside from those things with sentimental value, I, just like most adults in the world, have things stashed in various places that I don’t need, don’t use, and kept simply because I thought they would be important or useful at some point in the future. During a recent “clutter purge” I found notes and forms related to a bank account that has been closed for the better part of ten years.
Truth be told, I have been making an effort to remove things from my environment that have no use or sentimental value. Old notebooks from work, items I obtained with the intention of using them but never did, trinkets that I thought were “freaking awesome” forever ago, but really are just crap. It’s actually serving to tame the daily level of anxiety that I experience, which is an unexpected benefit. My environment is not, has never been and will never be hospital-grade organized, to be clear. Even at its best, my mind is too chaotic for that.

When I was about 19, I worked at Hot Topic, and I loved it. One day while working, my supervisor said something off the wall or whatever, and I said loudly and incredulously, “What?!?”. In completely hilarious and serendipitous fashion, the song that came on at that very moment was White Zombie’s Electric Head, Pt. 2. Everyone in the store cracked up, it was great!!
For those who don’t know the song, the first line is “I just said, ‘up yours, baby’”, with no musical intro to it. Perfect timing, good times.

My “random” music as of late – from Pandora or iTunes, whatever – has been filled with emotionally relevant music that I’ve not listened to in years. It’s the strangest thing.

I am so mad that I haven’t been able to see Mars the past couple of days! Damn light pollution!!

When you have a dog and he or she is injured, it’s the most heartbreaking thing.

Sometimes, even the angriest of music does not quite cut it.

Come up with a crazy business idea.
This is not a result of this prompt, but in reading a book I got recently, I had a thought.
What if I opened a shop as an apothecary?
In most situations, I have issues with modern medicine, especially medications. I prefer natural remedies. If there is a tea, a natural food or spice, or something non-pharmaceutical I can do to deal with my issue, I would much rather do that than pop a pill. Bronchitis? Hot toddy, or the nonalcoholic lemon juice, honey, and water. Indigestion? Ginger tea. Anxiety or panic attack? Breathing exercises. Mother nature has remedies for almost everything that ails us.
Crazy, maybe, but why not learn more (bonus!) and turn my distaste for chemical pharmacology into a business where I can help people and show them how to help themselves in the future? Interesting thought….
