This strange loop has a curious effect on causality. We get up in the morning and leave the house at 7:15 because we have to get to work by 9 o’clock. Scientifically, this is a very bizarre form of causality; the future is affecting the past. That doesn’t normally occur in physics (except in very esoteric Quantum things, but let’s not get distracted). In this case, science has an explanation. What causes you to get up at 7:15 is not actually your future arrival at work. If in fact you fall under a buss and never make it to work, you still got up at 7:15. Instead of backwards causality, you have a mental model, in your brain, which is your best attempt to predict the day ahead. In that model, realized as buzzing electrons, you think that you ought to be at work by nine. That model, and its expectation of the future, exists now, or more accurately, a short time in the past. It is that expectation that causes you to get up instead of lying in and having a well-deserved snooze.

– that expectation is the worst, then | Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart, and Jack Cohen, The Science of Discworld II: The Globe

-Oh,you’re soaking wet! Did you get that wet just coming from next door? 

-No, I ran back to the university to get that book I wanted to show you but someone else already checked it out.

-All the way there, and without an umbrella, I suppose.

I hate hate HATE all those 2edgy 4me theories about kids shows. Like Angelica dreaming up the rugrats, or the ed, edd, and eddy children being ghosts, or literally anything that takes a lighthearted and fun kids show and has to turn it into some tragic take of rape or murder or misinformed mental illness.

So you know what? From now on I’m gonna do the exact opposite. Every cool grim-dark show is now because of a bunch of children. To get us started:

Game of Thrones: A middle-school DnD campaign with the most angry, vindictive DM who has promised to kill everyone’s player characters (and their family) by the end.

The Walking Dead is actually a bunch of kids playing zombie apocalypse in their neighborhood and every time someone “dies,” it’s because their parents called them home for supper.

Breaking Bad is actually just a fanfic the students in Mr. White’s class write about him because no one has any idea what he does with his free time and the running jokes about it got wildly out of hand.

These are all officially my headcanons for the actual shows now
