Random Thought Of The Day #532

Day 532

You know... I always wonder about the origins of certain things.



Hehehe... retarded panda.



Coffee being a major one.

Who thought "hey, you know what we should do? We should crush these beans here and then run water through them at high temperatures."? Who came up with that idea? WHY did they come up with that idea? Was it just an accident where they felt caffeine for the first time and thought "holy shit, this stuff is awesome!" after accidentally drinking coffee bean contaminated water?

Wasn't that kinda what happened to discover alcohol? Fermentation happened with some grain and water getting mixed together & whatnot?

But really... it can't be like someone was really thinking "hey, you know what we should do? We should find which beans we can crush up and pour boiling water thru to see if they make us stay awake longer.", right? Cause that's like fucking alchemy for tiredness.



WTF IS THIS WHEEL FOR??? Alchemy is weird.

 Did coffee beans actually serve any other purpose than just kinda sitting there? Did we eat them before we figured out the whole beverage version of it thing?

Now that I mention alchemy though... so are we going to have to wait for pico-bots before we figure out how to actually turn lead into gold? Or can nano-bots do it? I think they're still too big to work on the atomic level. They're golden for working on the molecular level, but the subatomic particles might need pico-bots.

You'd figure that we already know how to do a shitloat of other stuff with chemistry and changing atoms of this into that, that we'd have figured out how to turn lead into gold... or pretty much anything else we want by now. We've straight-up BUILT a bunch of elements already... is converting a specific one into another specific one still beyond our abilities? Or are we just not trying anymore cause it'll tank the gold market & then we'd be really REALLY fucked?

Just thinking out loud... errrr... quietly but through my fingertips?

We really need to think of new turn of phrases for the intarwubz age. Cause the old ones don't really apply a lot of times when we can ramble to thousands of people without opening our mouths once. "Thinking out loud" isn't really accurate if the person ingesting your words is not in your presences and you're not making any noise other than keyboard clicks.

And since we have lip-readers in the deaf community... can we have keyboard-click-hear-ers in the blind community? Like intarwubz-braille. And how do blind people remember where they were if they lose their place in a book?

 

I think I'm done now. That was far too much random pondering of stupid shit.
