Buddhism isn't really a religion, the way I understand it, it's not trying to sell anything like religions do, it's more of a philosophical system, with psychological exercises and disciplines that to this day have proven to be of profound positive mental health impact.

Then people went and built statues of Siddhartha Gautama, which he supposedly had asked not to happen. Then there's the "fat Buddha" from China, who was actually someone who lived almost two millennia after, and is known there as "Budai".

Those statues and idols have nothing to do with what Buddhism originally proposes, in a nutshell: there is suffering in this world and life, how can we be free of suffering?

The kind that gets struck in the face with a wooden paddle and it seems like they're saying - "THANK YOU SIR MAY I PLEASE HAVE ANOTHER?"

Then there's things like:
"Passing through the magnetic field, exactly half the electrons went UP, and exactly half the electrons went DOWN", and classical physics went OUT through the quantum window.

There's a Monty Python sketch where someone handles a large glass container with a liquid that looked like rosé wine, no context provided.

Out of the blue, some BBC executive or execs wanted to censor the sketch because of "its' visual depiction of menstrual urine".

It truly takes some twisted, fucked-up minds to find obscenity everywhere they look, projecting Satan onto everything around them, carrying Satan piggyback even into neutral zones.

Yeah but what about nutkicking, then?

 

For example, Humphrey Bogart as Indiana Jones in Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Or say Gregory Peck in Saving Private Ryan. Or how about James Dean as Luke Skywalker!

 

In the color lines of a spectrograph and what seems to be an area with a certain color, zooming in shows that this color is delicately split in half by a black vertical hairline, on one side it's the emission of photons of color by a hydrogen atom with a spin up electron, on the other it seems to be the same color but it's a spin down electron.

Whenever I hear that gap mentioned, 1/137 is invoked, but I'm not sure precisely what that means, and I'm visualizing that the color of the spectral emission can be divided or deconstructed into a total of 137 vertical lines, and the one in the middle is black.

Maybe it represents 1/137 of a photon's wavelength at a certain color?

 

For example, places like HistoryPorn have some bizarre pictures of weird inventions or WWII experimental weapons.

How come I'm only just now coming across them? Why didn't we see them five or ten years ago, even in specialized forums and subreddits?

Places like ArtPorn or TraditionalArt are a trickier proposition. Here my lack of knowledge is vast, but I've really loved the history of painting for over two decades now, and have recently kept coming across a lot of 18th-to-20th century paintings and painters I've never heard of before; some of these are excellent, I should have known about them... I think. But like I say, there's more that I don't know than what I do.
If they are real and not recent AI creations, where are the original and who is digitizing and/or publishing so many of them all of a sudden in the past year?
