I was essentially certain that this meant: "their face when"

20 years is extremely optimistic.

This feels to me like one of those optical illusions where the "wall" is in reality the floor.

Haha, if someone remembers something that everyone else has forgotten is it really embarrassing... No one would believe him anyway!

This is a great quote, I also like to say (especially in places like airports or government buildings):

It's not a rat race, it's a rat queue.

This is reductive to the point of absurdity, if this were true no one would ever die from any problem (i.e. drowning, falling, etc.) They'd simply activate ingenuity.

Some problems do not have a solution in a given circumstance.

E.g. I'm locked in a prison on a sinking ship that's already 1km underwater, and my cell is completely full of water and I've held my breath for 2 minutes now.

This is my favourite comment of all my experience with Lemmy so far.

Can you elaborate on this? With some sources?

[-] philthi@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I'm open to discussion, but now that I've existed for a substantial period of time, I've found that my most prevailing memories are the ones hard won (e.g. when I almost had to sleep on the streets or ran out of money in a foreign country or got evicted from my flat). Whereas days sat on my couch watching telly, or in the pub having fun with friends, or another routine day in the gym are all blurred memories with no definition and no real sense of elapsed time.

In the future this will be a period of time I'll remember clearly, which makes it valuable. Easy times lead to no substantial memories which is effectively the loss of that time.

Hang himself by his own retard, is - in my opinion - a suitable alternative here
