Aged about 11, my class were asked to write a paragraph about our experience with hunger. Mine was about how it was nice to anticipate a meal with family. I remember the first sentence "being hungry is great.." The teacher thought I had taken a very creative approach and read mine out, but I was just surprised at how different everyone else's were. It's only 30-odd years later I realise that i didn't actually know what hunger was.

Anyway this has reminded me I've only eaten a couple of slices of bread in the last 2 days and I should probably do something about that

It's being spread through communication - It's a meme. Memes don't have to be funny.

I'm pretty sure it counts as a sandwich as defined by the ham sandwich theorem. The only part that might be debatable is that the filling is not a single connected volume, but that doesn't seem to be required by the proof.

As an 8 foot tall therapod, he's a pretty close analogue to Deinonychus - the real life inspiration for Jurassic Park's velociraptors

Hey, didn't I cut a scene from one of those movies? Yeah that's the one. I want to put it back in. let's see. Ah crap, that guy there, what's his name? Jab..Jaffa? He needs to be a slug. Can we change that? What the hell, it's the 90s, we can find some computer nerd to do that. Needs to be bigger too. Like, erm, bigger than the frame? Will that work? Ah what the fuck keep him man sized, he's a space monster he can change size or some shit. That bit there - whassname, Sulu, he needs to be standing on Jagger's tail. Just make him stand on the tail. Cut him out and move him up and down it'll look fine. Yeah sure, I'd stand on a mafioso's tail - it's a power move, they respect that. What's this scene about anyway? Yada yada, removing the bounty, yada yada.. yeah I remember there was something about a bounty in one of those movies. It all fits. It's like I planned it all in advance.

Every road going south is also a road going north. Note all of them have rotational symmetry

Nuh-uh. I'm just a character an ape made up while it was pretending to be a person. You can be a transcendent being and mecha pilot your body around if you like. You can construct your sense of self however you like. That was my point. Our buddy upthread could be the very embodiment of the DSM criteria for ADHD, and that would still be a valid way to be a person.

Self is an illusion. We're all just a product of our brain chemistry and experience. Don't sweat it.
