/kind/ - Random Acts of Kindness

A single bite of a polar bear's liver contains enough vitamin A to kill you.

>RWBY

Mah nigga.

>>21767

I don't think there's any truth to this. Its more of your mental fortitude for this, but that could just be me as, even when dreaming zombies, and monsters, and shit, I somehow reflexively defend myself and do stand a fighting chance.

>>21759

Tulpa, or better known as a Mind Golem, are a semi-sentient delusion you create within your subconscious and, if used correctly, allows you better control of your thoughts and mental prowess and they can also act as your mental secretary. Or waifu if you're into that kind of thing.

YOU BETTER HAVE A KILL SWITCH IF YOU MAKE ONE

Yesterday I learned that otters promote kelp forests, because they're the primary predator of sea urchins, which graze upon the kelp. In areas where otters have been extirpated through overhunting for fur, the kelp forests are absent or very small and weak because the urchins get out of control and eat all the kelp. There are also more fish in areas with kelp forests, because they provide habitat for juvenile fish. The fish aren't bigger though, because there's more competition among them. So otters are surprisingly important.

>>21777

I have a tulpa. He's more like an imaginary friend and no kill switch is necessary. They don't "go rogue," it's just segmenting part of your mind into a different label.

>>21801

Oh, I forgot my fact!

Japanese has three verbs to express the concept of being or existing.

>>21800

>Can't it be both my waifu and mental secretary?

I don't see why not. Don't listen to the people who make a big deal of it, it's literally just an imaginary friend that you put more effort into. What it is just depends on what you want it to be. And unless you're already very mentally unstable, it's impossible for them to take over your body and kill you or whatever. That stuff's no more than creepypasta. So I think you should go for it, I made mine because I was lonely and horrible at making friends, and I still don't have "real" friends but I'm much less lonely now.

>>21814

Do you have any guides or something of sort you would recommend? Perhaps even the same you used, I'd trust it much more that way.

Can you tell us more about your Tulpa friend? About the process you followed, how it came to be, who is it and so on.

>>21814

What exactly is your tulpas form? A person, a pony? Does it talk to you?

If I could fabricate an imaginary loli companion to talk to and dress up, I would.

Tulpa sounds like its half way between multiple personality and schizophrenia

I read a story where a guy haunted himself with one. Somehow he gave it a frightening face and it scared the shit out of him for months before it went away.

You should make a tulpa thread! I think other friends here are interested.

The German word Angstlust means 'fear and enjoyment combined.'

>>21816

>>21821

I'll make a thread about it, I'm by no means an expert on the subject but it does seem that people are interested and I like answering questions. And maybe others here have a tulpa and would share their experiences.

The body was too long so I'll respond to you guys separately when I make the thread and we can move this discussion there.

Nature is full of so many weird things

Theres an ant in the rainforest that becomes mind controlled by a certain spore, the spore causes it to climb a tree, latch on and die. A mushroom grows from the ant's head and begins dropping spores, and the cycle continues.

There is this snail that a worm preys on, a worm crawls inside of the snails head and eats its eyes from the inside. The snail climbs a tree where a bird will come by and eat the snail's head and the worm inside it. The snail survives, grows a new head and eyes, and goes on its way.

Theres a type of fish that lives in a large school. All of them are born female. If the one and only male dies, the largest female changes its sex and becomes the new male.

I can't site sources for all of this, I saw most of this on a show called Nova.

Can confirm, room was cold and I had a dream where I flunked a test and it made me fail my course.

Three? I lived there for a year and unless I'm forgetting something simple only ある and　いる come to mind.

>>21767

>The colder the room you sleep in, the better the chances are that you’ll have a bad dream.

I've actually heard the exact opposite.

Fun fact: There's a syndrome listed in the DSM called koro. A person with koro has an overwhelming delusion that his or her sexual organs are slowly retracting into the body and may cause death. The condition is also known as penis panic, shrinking penis syndrome, or genital retraction syndrome and is found most commonly in East Asia.

>>21930

I just recalled that there are actually more than three.

Two verbs, する and くる (all verbs written without kanji), have entirely irregular conjugations. They therefore have their own verb group.

Likewise, ある (usually used with だ/です) is irregular in some tenses, but いる isn't irregular. You're probably referring to いく, which is also not entirely irregular.

Those are just the ones at the beginning stage. Fortunately, there's only a few in the entire language, even at the advanced level.

>>22007

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it does.

>>22007

We would need a microphone in order to hear them as the sounds are meant for close range communication between ants, and their volume suits their size.

Most cloth is extremely flammable. Polyester even more so than cotton. Manufactuerers add a flame retardant coating to the thread so that they will melt instead of lighting ablaze.

>>21887

I love this.

There is a species of wasp that reproduces by laying their eggs (or already larvae?) inside of a kind of caterpillars. There they eat and cosume the caterpillar while alive until they hatch out of it when there's only remaining the skin they nibble through.

>>22034

This actually does look pretty comfy.

>>21759

>In outer space you can't see colors.

what do you mean by this , be more specific

>>22123

Pretty sure that's wrong. My bad

>>22138

On the other hand, outer space is not as colourful as on pictures. Those pictures are coloured to show radio-waves and other stuff that's astronomically interesting but the eye cannot interpret.

>>22147

Well i know that some pictures are false color shifts if they're from the EM spectrum that isn;t visible to human eyes

>>22168

Good thing I sleep for 10! Makes waking up for things annoying though.

>>21797

I'm really not sure if I have a tulpa, but I have a habit of talking to my dog and making up his responses by speaking in a different voice. I'm actually kind of frightened what that might turn into when the dog passes on.

>Every year, from the end of October through until the beginning of December, the northern Taurid meteor shower sends flashes of light across the sky, as Earth sweeps up bits of ice and rock as it passes through a wide stream of debris left behind by the passage of a comet through the inner solar system. As the tiny grains of dust and ice plunge into Earth's atmosphere travelling at speeds of around 100,000 kph, they compress the air in their path, heating it up to glowing hot temperatures and producing bright meteor trails through the night sky.

>>22678

Do you think if I piss a little on my hands every now and then they won't crack and bleed in winter? I'm cheap and hate grease so I don't buy moisturizers but it hurts.

>>22741

If it is from the skin simply drying out, I am sure that massaging a little into the hands would help. However, if the cracking is from rough work with the hands, I am not sure if it would solve the problem. Be sure to report the results if you do try it.

>the main difference between Christianity and Buddhism

The Indonesian island of Java is smaller than Nepal, yet is home to 143.1 million people, nearly as many as the population of Russia (146.4 million)!

>>24401

Buddhism is mainly about the Middle Way between hedonism and aesceticism. And about ending suffering.

You're right about it not being about good. The Hindus were definitely less naive about human nature in seeing that people tend to break what they make. Buddhism and Hinduism alike are more concerned about wisdom than good, definitely.

For example, one "rule" (nothing is hard and fast in Buddhism) is not to kill, but that's mainly because if you do, you'll be spending all your time running from the guy pissed you murdered his son instead of meditating.

And about the reincarnation thing: those who do believe in it, are trying to escape the wheel of birth-death-rebirth ("Samsara") via achieving Nirvana/Moksha/Liberation.

Safety fact for /kind/ posters. When preparing eggs always heat them until they are completely solid. The "runny egg" part still may cause salmonella.

>>24423

But I love my eggs over easy. Had them for years. Maybe I just have guts of steel!

>>24423

Cooking eggs until they're completely solid destroys the proteins in them the body can use. It's possible to pasteurize them without destroying the proteins by cooking them on low for 12 minutes at 60 C, just below the point they solidify.

The emperor of rome(caligula) declared war against god of the sea(neptune , basically the same as poseidon in greek mythology) and ordered the roman legion to march to the beach and pick up seashells. At the end of the day he declared himself the victor in the war.

>>23074

This isn't exactly true.

Consider 3 objects, A, B and C.

A moves at 0.99c to the left. (c being the speed of light)

B remains stationary in the middle.

C moves at 0.99c to the right.

A would observe B moving away at 0.99c and C moving away at something like 0.999c (less than the speed of light).

B would observe both A and C to be moving at 0.99c in opposite directions.

C would observe A moving away at ~0.999c and B moving away at 0.99c.

In other words, in any given reference frame you will never see anything move faster than the speed of light.

>>24423

I eat raw eggs on a regular basis. You need to have more faith in your bodies and not be afraid of such trifling things as micro organisms.
