    This is really amazing for a definition. More a very salient thing to ponder.

    sonder
    n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

    Laughing 100 times is equivalent to 15 minutes of exercise on a stationary bike.

    We're living in the golden age of laughing at AI doing stupid things like writing nonsense dialog and failing at video games. It never existed before us and won't exist once AI gets good enough to not make mistakes. Our children will never know the joy of laughing at computers being dumb.

    Laughter actually is a medicine, releasing dopamine, endorphins, and growth hormone.

    If someone from 1980 traveled to 2018 and heard the term "SkyMall", they would think it was something infinitely cooler than it is.

    Always thought these were amazing - Artist created these cards for the 1900's World's Fair as a prediction of future technology and advances. Pretty spot on with some of this before these were even close to reality.

    Being a pilot is like being a cool bus driver, but a lame astronaut.

    The people who say “life’s not fair, get over it” are usually the people who are directly making life unfair.

    If all I do is joke and bs with someone it's because I don't trust letting my walls down.

    When you know the ugly truths about my life it means I trust you.
