A toilet with a foot lever that pushes the seat and cover up. Deluxe version has two levers that push the cover up or the seat up.
>>8227523
So on the non deluxe version you have to sit on the bare toilet?
>>8227537
What? If you want to sit you would just lift the cover by hand. This was originally intended to quell women moaning about the seat being up. But I suppose it could be also for the germaphobic, but would require a locking mechanism to keep the seat and cover up.

changing the calender and time-keeping system around so that instead of keeping track of days and hours, we could have a system that only tracked the seconds from the origin of the universe. keep this for generations, until no one remembers the julian system. this would basically render timekeeping useless, which is my greatest dream
All Bibles or sacred codes have been the causes of the following Errors:—
1. That Man has two real existing principles, viz. a Body and a Soul.
2. That Energy, call’d Evil, is alone from the Body; and that Reason, call’d Good, is alone from the Soul.
3. That God will torment Man in Eternity for following his Energies.
But the following Contraries to these are True:—
1. Man has no Body distinct from his Soul; for that call’d Body is a portion of Soul discern’d by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age.
2. Energy is the only life, and is from the Body; and Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy.
3. Energy is Eternal Delight.
Those who restrain Desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained; and the restrainer or Reason usurps its place and governs the unwilling.
And being restrained, it by degrees becomes passive, till it is only the shadow of Desire.
The history of this is written in Paradise Lost, and the Governor or Reason is call’d Messiah.
And the original Archangel, or possessor of the command of the Heavenly Host, is call’d the Devil or Satan, and his children are call’d Sin and Death.
But in the Book of Job, Milton’s Messiah is called Satan.
For this history has been adopted by both parties.
It indeed appear’d to Reason as if Desire was cast out; but the Devil’s account is, that the Messiah fell, and formed a Heaven of what he stole from the Abyss.
This is shown in the Gospel, where he prays to the Father to send the Comforter, or Desire, that Reason may have Ideas to build on; the Jehovah of the Bible being no other than he who dwells in flaming fire.
Know that after Christ’s death, he became Jehovah.
But in Milton, the Father is Destiny, the Son a Ratio of the five senses, and the Holy-ghost Vacuum!
Note. The reason Milton wrote in fetters when he wrote of Angels and God, and at liberty when of Devils and Hell, is because he was a true Poet, and of the Devil’s party without knowing it.
That all the postmodern faggots have it wrong. The author is not 'god', the reader is because the reader decides whether the book will actually be read and ultimately interprets the book.

A cross-platform zine app in which people with offensive/controversial/retarded views can publish articles to the unwashed masses without fear of persecution for holding said terrible views, under the glorious pretence of satire
It'd be organised by a voting system similar to reddit, except downvoting because something offended you would result in an immediate ban
Also people would be able to fund bounties for the sorts of articles they'd like to see - obviously for the funded articles they have to be backed up with statistics and fairly convincing evidence. it just literally does not matter what kind of narrative you spin that material into so long as it ticks the required boxes

you need to discuss more the difference between "meme" as originally defined by Dawkins and "meme" as used by the internet. they are quite different. "Pepe" is not an example of Dawkins' "unit of cultural evolution"; in Dawkins' terms it's more like Pepe is an instance of "image macro" where "image macro" is a meme. the definition of "meme" itself has evolved.
also i'm not sure that "Gangnam style" is a meme in either definition. nobody does "Gangnam style" any more. it hasn't survived. i guess it could be called an extinct meme.

Gravitrons leap forth and back as they travel in time, which is the reason gravity distorts time - just as it does with space.

Instead of everyone following food sources and hunting, we should find a way to settle in areas and raise food. Possibly some kind of agrarian culture. I think it could be pretty revolutionary.
Before I fell asleep one night, I was struck with the idea of inventing some sort of machine to prevent memory loss. Oh the irony, for you see, in the morning, I had died in my sleep.
If, in the course of measuring time in their heads, two people come to two different results as of the moment they check time on a clock, that's only because both of them agree that the functioning of the clock holds authority over their own perception.
The difference between the psychic time and the clock time is not, as one may imagine, due to a deficiency of the psychic time, for it would be equally logic to say that the clock object is the one that is deficient in creating an order for time that serves two or more people. One could say that the clock imagines a certain number that both people choose to consider and obey from then on. Two people will measure time by sensations of lenght produced by notions of expectation, excitement, boredom and an unconscious comparisson what they have experienced before. The measuring is so far without numbers. Only then, when both decide to check their clocks that they compare the time passed, whether it was pleasant or not, long or not, to their perception to the number given by the clock. "Already?" "Still?" and so on. If one of them had power over the clock's number, each would have it set forwards or backwards a bit to correspond to their sensation. But the clock number is irrelevant without a reference point, for it would mean nothing to say 5 minutes felt like 4 minutes if you didn't have prior experience with these numbers before, that is, if you haven't agreed to the authority of the clock on previous occasions. Therefore, what truly matters is precisely the difference between the psychic time of those two people, that can compare the time of each other by any non-numeric ways, degrees of experience that could be summed up by how is their "wait". If one is left waiting on the other, that means one was early and the other late. If they are waiting together and one of them is bored that means far too long time has passed for that person, regardless of what a clock would say. The function of the clock is, therefore, to produce a number, any number, any time you look at it that you can use to disregard your responsibility and sensation of passed time, and also not to favour of the time of the other person, but, instead, under the agreement that this person will also give up his or hers psychic time over the clock's time. In short, both give up on their subjective time in favour of the object's time. It's only when two or more people look at the clock together that they can be said to be together at all, because they both agree to ignore that the number they look at on the clock is a fictional description of their psychic time.
it's a totally different concept of warfare

its like a bow but a lot better
>>8231027
I think the biggest question is actually; what does the clock do when nobody is paying attention to it? Does it then invent a psych time for itself or does it use object time represented by itself physically. And what if it can synchronize the object time with the psych time of its choosing. But that raises another question, if it does have some sort of omnipotent ability to control time (both variants) when isolated from others' consciousnesses which would it choose to adhere to. Put differently would it have a preference, and if so what could such a preference indicate for the significance of either variant. For instance, if the clock chooses to alter object time according to its subjective orientation of psychic time does this indicate that when another consciousness now enters into the fray that the time it perceives is no doubt object time but object time based on the clock's psychic time, which would imply that the observer of the clock's understanding and projection of his own psychic time is irrelevant, and if he is unsynchronized with the clock's object time and experiences frustration, boredom or whatever it is then in fact all on him, he then has no claim to say that his psychic time was not adhered to by the object time reality, as it is baseless. Likewise for two observers, the discrepancy between their two version of psych time should be passed over in silence. Though of coarse this is all based on a mutual agreement to consider the clock's object time as the ideal time to adjust their own psychic times with, regardless of the potential ability of the clock to manipulate its object time in an unregulated and non-unanimous manner, most likely in ignorance.

That's quite a theistic approach to it. There is no such thing as objective time at all, that's a fiction. The clock doesn't have a psyche and thus, no preference. It cannot "alter object time", it's the very example used of an imagined object time that does not exist. It could spin like crazy or stay in its place for the whole time, what's important is that when we look at it, we make sense of what it says, it's reasonable (by our standards), though never precise because there are these variations to the texture of time to us that we choose to neglect and pretend the clock is precise. And the clock itself can be replaced by any event that we perceive as objective, the passing of days, an object that falls, a rusty metal, anything that indicates time to us. You're going through the whole opposite direction of my reasoning,
what if we made a tank that also transports troops but made it FLY?

...Except you're not even right either. You say one could imagine a clock as a third guy in your party that you always trust to know the time.

"Why"
"Because I don't like it but I'm wondering if I should build character by toughing it out regardless"

The experience of nostalgia is simply a by-product of experiencing the progression of time through memory
our mind organises the past into a rose-tinted narrative to make our dissatisfactions with the present more tolerable and the future more hopeful such that positivity may repeat itself, when really the past is neither better or worse than the immediate moment - it only seems superior by virtue of being in a bygone time. This applies to cultural as well as individual history - it explains why so many teenagers get sucked into the 'born in the wrong generation' mentality, and why so many people feel that modern art/literature/civilisation sucks and yearn for the classical age
>>8231537
I don't believe in objective time. Even if it is very interesting that space-time is seen as connected and indeed clocks will always differ from one another because time expands and contracts as much as space does, that would be another point entirely. That is still within the realm of science and of a way to accurate measure time by objective means. If you use Newton's model of the universe you can explain a lot about how a car moves and so on, but then we learned it is incomplete, specially evident in large scales and thus Einstein's model took its place. Both, however, are talking about time as a thing. I'm trying to take this to a discussion of language and relationship and of how willing we are to accept the objectivity of the clock over our own inner experience, how that shapes society.
>>8231551
Listen to the words you use: "reliable". That's my point. The clock is indeed reliable and we rely on it for everything. If you make an experiment here and document it as taking 5 minutes, another person somewhere else can reproduce the experiment in 5 minutes. It's a convention that is perfectly reliable and we can use it, for example, to set up a date and be sure that we are going to get there at more or less the same time. But this is not my point.
The point is how we relate this time said by the clock with our own time. If you don't look at your clock for what you feel is an hour, you might check your clock and see 40 minutes passed or 70 minutes. But if you were not to look at it for a whole afternoon, you might miss it by two hours. I could use the example of not looking at the clock for 10 days, but you'd know 10 days have passed because of the sun, which would serve you as the objective clock you need.
Everytime you look at the clock you actualize yourself, not on how much "actual time" has passed as we naively and automatically believe, but on what number everyone else will agree upon that corresponds to "actual time". We all give up, together, our own time in favour of this commune time said by the clock. Think of how in old times people didn't have clocks with them and the town church would ring the bells, updating and uniting the people. I'm saying objective time does not exist in a similar way that money's worth does not exist, for it is only there as a convention impossible for us to ignore. How much you value an object will always be compared to what the numbers say (expensive, cheap, etc), same with the clock.

But the beliefs and motives, ideas and thoughts, and existences of all other planes float around the 'core' plane, assuming there is even one: the closest plane to it, and still interact with you. Which in this proves that a shared view of something not real, is still more real than anything with -1 or less views.
Your thoughts are significantly more tangible than current perceptions of reality lead them to be. What you think, even if never shared, if it was thought before by another, it's intention and motive and morality and infliction already exist outside of you. Only your beliefs tether you to common ground. While also trying so hard to pull you away. Hanging carefully balanced between the two.

Time only exists as observable repetition. Since that is an intangible concept, it is no more real than a unicorn.
>>8232689
DIDNT JAPAN THINK THAT WITH PEARL HARBOUR :D
>>8232696
Define "observable repetition"
Define "intangible"
Define "real"
Because apparently your definitions are different than mine.
You can't "touch time" just like you can't "touch distance" or "touch volume", but I would call them real concepts.
>>8232686
I am that core plane.
Everyone thinks they're being good and generous, including you, but they act selfishly anyway. So the best way to navigate society is to act as if you think people are as good as they think they are while being aware that everyone's actually just selfish.

Hello, Me.
If objective time doesn't exists, and it's related to a mind; then how come there was time before mankind was here to think about it?

Space and time are merely individuals/intuitions.
>>8232800
Time can only be observed. It is observation. Time is defined as encompassing 'past, present, and future' in the stands of space. Yet unaware space has no effect in chronology. And certainly doesn't simply because we experience a phenomenon called time. Light does not experience time. Yet we can give light a speed limit which gives a timeframe to that which is timeless. Without observation, there would be no push or pull on the 'speed limit of the known universe' and the universe would both be and not be just as quickly as the other.
I explain this in my dimensional theory of space in 3/4 where there are always 3 defining states of observation which can be contained in a 4th experiential frame dimension. And this continues both singularly and as whole sets exponentially. 3 defining states contained in a paradoxical frame, to create and to balance, known as existing.

Objective space/time don't exist.
They are merely the prime intuitions/individuals of our minds, that provide the limits/contours of our knowledge.

>inb4 just go read a book
>>8232884
there is no such thing
>>8232884
Damn, right out the gate with the name-calling and projection. For the record, no one but yourself is giving "progress" a positive connotation. Change is simply change.
As humans age, their brains become less adept at adopting new worldviews or adapting to new technologies. It's neuroscience. This leads to a sort of regression. It's a broad strokea claim to make, sure, but on the whole people are more or less set in their ways by their late twenties and coast as creatures of habit for the next five or six decades.
And "short-sighted revolutionary shit" is actually a central tenet of economic neoliberalism, a conservative philosophy. Come back when you have a substantive argument.
>>8232884
Conservatives would prefer no change, but since they can't completely stall change, they unfortunately have to yield to as small of an amount as possible.
This would be in keeping with God's law because God is perfect and all knowledge is already predisposed.
You'll notice any change, done by humans, in the bible has been bad.

A boy falls in love with a girl.
Unable to confess, he is gifted with by a deus ex machina with the girl’s phone number. Never minding the strange area code, he immediately calls her, and is overjoyed to find out that she has a crush on him as well.
But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day’s confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a perplexed expression. After some investigation, he finds out that the girl he called is not the same girl he fell in love with. In fact, she doesn’t exist in this universe at all. She is the girl’s alternate universe counterpart, who has fallen in love with the MC’s own AU self, who too is blissfully unaware of her crush.
Hijinks ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective loved ones, DRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of LOVE.

...yes? Change is borne of conflict, and without conflict there is simply stagnation. And stagnant waters breed reptiles of the mind.

>>8233002
Again with putting words in my mouth. Honestly, if you're not even going to try to maintain a level of debate beyond that of reactionary name-calling, you should just stop.
If I'm on the receiving end of "bad change" it's because of the engagement of power structures well beyond my control. You have to understand that "change" and "progress" are being discussed in terms of systemic and structural dynamics on a massive scale. "Bad change," in that context, is inevitable but impermanent.

I'm not even concerned on whether objective time exists or not. Nor am I interested in talking about time in a scientific sense of how can we measure it and so on, so not about units either. I'm talking, most of all, about people and how we relate to one another and how we use these anchor points to guide our relationships, one of them being time as measured by our clocks.
I used money as a secondary example, but I picked time precisely because that is something strikingly present to our psychic life and to our relationships. This is what interests me.
I really wish I could express better how much I don't care about whether time "exists" or not. I don't see it that way and I don't believe in an answer. I'm not an advocate of solipsism, but at the same time (pun intended), time before me is only something I can imagine and my memories themselves are also something I can only imagine having. I believe in relationships and encounters, encounters between people or between objects outside of us, between memories and instruments and so on. And just as religion unites people like a whirlpool with nothing in the center, or how money is worth what it's worth because we all choose to ignore its emptiness, I think that two people look at their clocks to be together, they ignore how long it feels for time to have passed, disregard it so that they can hold the fiction of communication and be in that common place.
Coming back to my initial statement, I think when we look at the clock and are surprised at the number we see it's not out of a deficiency of our psychic life to measure time as accurately as the clock does. I think that is as crude way of thinking as it would be to say the clock is wrong and our mental time is correct. I'm merely observing how we put the numbers of the clock on top of our mental time, so that we can get back to a realm in which we can encounter others.

So, I have this idea for a great movie. It's about two gnomes who find a bracelet of power, and they have to take it to the Burning Steppes and cast it into the Cauldron. They form the Brotherhood of the Bracelet. Along the way they're trailed by a murloc named Gottom, who's obsessed with the bracelet, and nine bracelet bogeymen. It could be a three-parter, called 'Ruler of the Bracelet'. The first part would be called 'The Brotherhood of the Bracelet', followed by 'A Couple of Towers', with the climactic ending called 'Hey, the King's Back!

BUT the act of toughing it out and listening to the song regardless of your preconditioned expectation of enjoyment leads you to expect a boost in the character of your moral fibre which you ought to enjoy both in the abstract aspect of having a stronger character AND the everyday experience of being stronger and of wider experience, SO really you have to weigh the expected pleasure of the aforementioned character boost VS the expected pleasure of finding another song that you know you like and will enjoy listening to and decide based on which pleasure you expect to be greater, long term unknown variable vs short term known quantity.

nostalgia is a product of the malleability of memory.
People think back on the times of their youth over and over again and fixate upon the good times until the bad bullshit has been all but overwritten and all they think about is how great it was to not have a mortgage or debts or other adult responsibilities and they forget how the lack of freedom chafed or the lack of understanding of how the world worked crippled their thought or how that asshole in school would throw calculators at their head (waxing autobiographical here) and instead all they remember is halloween or christmas and it's just so much self-deluded bullshit.
