Random Thoughts/Things?

I wasn’t really sure what to call this thread, but I’ve had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Basically, anyone can post anything here. Any random thought you have, any random thing that happens to you, any random question that pops into your mind. Have fun, and don’t be afraid to be random.

Me reacting to an exquisite piece of poetic prose that a chatbot wrote about my performance of Chopin's Mazurka No. 9 in C major.

I did not know that AI could produce such detailed and exquisite poetry. We have a serious danger of AI taking writers' jobs now, and the lawsuits must come quick and fast.

I saw a post once that said "Humans doing the hard jobs for minimum wage while robots write poetry and paint is not the future I wanted."

This is so relateable in the most unrelatable way possible.

Yo, I have an idea for a song!!! Yay!! Here's some of it:

We ain't ever gonna be a thing,

No, no, no

Tried to tell ya

We ain't ever gonna be a thing,

No, no, no

Tried to warn ya

 

....ok not my best work, and I gotta write the rest of the lyrics, but someday, y'all might hear this song on the radio. Just y'all wait....

Idk what I did, but all of a sudden, a website looks different than it did when I satrted usin' it. Either that, or I'm goin' cray-cray (which is a very distinct possibility).

My phone's lock screen is Chris Pratt, and my parents, surprisingly, don't really care. I mean, Mom DID give me the Concerned Parent Face, but other than that, he's gonna be my lock screen until I either get another pic of another guy I have a crush on, or until I lose my crush on him which I hope never happens.

HE IS GUILTY DID YOU NOT SEE HIM CRIT THE OTHER GUY?!!! HE IS OBVIOUSLY GUILTY AND I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS!!! Long story short, one guy critted (critical hit) another guy in Minecraft, the two of them had a deal, and now all four of the people on there are in a Minecraft court case. So... I hope they find out he is guilty.

I have so many purple notebooks under my pillow that I had to label a couple of them in the upper left-hand corner. Even THEN I loose track of which notebook is which (don't ask why they're under my pillow).

*nods sympathetically*

The only reason I have free time right now is because I'm giving myself a brief break from schoolwork.

Does anyone here believe in reality shifting/ has done it? I want to try, but I'm pretty sure it won't work and don't want to get stuck there...

Captcha says "OAKBB". Who's Oak? Is there a sprouting tree nearby?

Hi Pheonix! The topic of reality shifting caught my interest a while ago and I ended up doing a lot of research on it; long story short, it doesn't really exist. There's just no way to actually have your mind leave your physical body and go to another dimension. I'm afraid that everyone that claims they have done that for real either have very overactive imaginations, experienced something called lucid dreaming, or are lying. People will often vaugly cite 'scientific studies' that show it's real, but if you dig a little you'll find that no such studies exist.

So basically, you don't have to worry about getting stuck in some other dimension :) Luckily, your imagination always exists, and that works just as well for me. I hope this helped!

Hey all! I have a few quick announcements that I'd appreciate if you could read:

- The judging date for the poetry contest is this Sunday! We currently only have three entries, which is enough to judge, but I'd like if maybe a few more people could enter. I don't want to push the judging date too far back, but if it's necessary, I can. The theme is garden and anyone can enter! I'd really appreciate even just a few more entries. 

- The above post is the most important one, but there's one more for those reading my ski lodge: I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a while! I definitely want to get another part up before the end of this year, but I'm doing Nano right now so the next part may be delayed until December! We'll see. Thank you for your patience!

a while ago Poinsettia asked how old y'all thought she was, and now i'm curious... how old do you think I am?

Fourteen, maybe? I feel like you're between thirteen and fifteen years old--my age or a little older, basically.
