Humans are the only species that create non-organic trash.

Why aren’t testicles internal?
All the other vital life structures – heart, lungs, brain, and for direct comparison, uterus – are all within the body. Mother nature just randomly decided, “yeah, the body part responsible for generating the second half of mammalian propagation is gonna be exposed and overly sensitive. Great idea!”? I don’t get it.

Sneezing is weird, sneezing fits even more so. “Let me expel things from my body at crazy speeds in rapid succession, but I’m going to turn into a sniffling stuffy mess after the fact.” Seriously?

Sometimes, I wish I was ok with not knowing. I imagine ignorance truly is bliss.

Sometimes, the energy expenditure involved in being a responsible adult is simply not worth it. 😆

As soon as I woke up this morning, the first thing to pop in my head was Hatebreed lyrics. Specifically, a song called Something’s Off. Once I got my morning started and logged into work, I’ve had my Hatebreed collection on shuffle. It’s a nice start to a Monday.

“There’s a beast in every man who breathes. With him from birth until beside him in the grave. A hideous presence just aching for release. Its chains aren’t as strong as its memory.”
– Hatebreed, Something’s Off

I saw something the other day that reminded me of the movie Multiplicity, and couldn’t help but wonder…. What would I do if I had a clone?
Now, of course, the movie included some interesting caveats – each clone had a… specialty, I guess? Certain elements of the original being that were heightened – work focus, family focus, whatever. But. What if, in this situation, for hypothetical purposes, the clone was an exact copy of me at the time of the clone’s creation? Would do and say exactly as I would in any given situation? What would I do if I could perfectly duplicate my existence for everyone impacted? And, let’s add in the additional condition that I gain/retain the memory of both me and the clone, so I don’t technically miss out on any given experience, I just don’t have to endure said experience myself. My clone would retain both sets of information as well, for continuity.
Now, if all these conditions were true, and I could gain the experience and insight of my clone’s activities, but still be off doing something else? Holy shit, batman! Bonus life! I would spend all of my time reading and writing, and let my clone experience humanity and the world for me, drawing on this experience for said writing… I mean, how perfect can hypothetical circumstances be?? It would basically be the ability to be in two places at once. I am very intrigued by this idea.
