Someone Asked “What Are You Certain Of, Right Down To Your Bones, Without Proof?” And 40 Folks Delivered That gardening is the secret to happiness.

Sounds super strange, especially coming from someone like myself - an ex world of Warcraft gamer. I had kids, got busy with work, wanted out of the suburbs, got some land in the country, and started planting stuff. Years later I have what I call a food forest. I have replaced lawns with fruit trees, bushes, vines, flowers, all woven together to mimic a natural forest - except everything in it is edible.

It has changed my life completely.

I just think there's something about being outside in the sun, feet on soil, hands in dirt, planting s***. Watching it grow in the background of your life. Going out and checking on it and watching how much bigger it is getting. Watching life find it, and now you get to live WITH the natural world, not isolated from it.

Birds making nests in your trees, frogs making home in your ponds, seeing bees all around your flowers, butterflies everywhere. Rabbits and squirrels moving in, then owls moving in to eat those. It's this wonderful trophic cascade that you started, and it's incredibly rewarding.

Plus, being able to just walk outside and get chemical-free nutrient-rich dinner is amazing.

I actually think a big reason depression is such a big thing these days is because we have all become so disconnected from the life that we evolved in for the last 6 million years. We evolved walking around savannahs and forests, pulling food off bushes and trees, out in the sun, feet in the soil, hands in the dirt. We couldn't be further from that, living inside our isolated homes, cars and offices. It's no wonder we're all so depressed.

I think gardening is the secret to happiness.

I agree with this to a point. We allow politicians who like to boast about how they did poorly in school, were the class clowns, etc dictate what should be taught in school. If you're the rich people who want to keep good education out of reach for the poorer people the best way to do that is to vilify public schools and demand more 'rigorous' testing policies that have little to do with actual student progress. This way the public schools have to spend more time testing than they do teaching so that the poor students get less education than the kids whose parents can afford private schools who aren't subject to those required tests. It's funny how politicians constantly point to public schools' failing standardized test scores, and tout private schools as the answer, yet never talk about how those private schools don't have to offer Special Education, take standardized tests, or even follow the mandated common core standards.

Someone Asked “What Are You Certain Of, Right Down To Your Bones, Without Proof?” And 40 Folks Delivered I'm quietly convinced I made a bestselling mystery novelist change the way he writes because I criticised him on Reddit.

The novelist in question is Chris Carter; the books are the Robert Hunter series. (Yes, the guy who has built a career on looking for serial killers is named Hunter. He works for the LAPD's Ultra-Violent Crime Unit. It's not a series that's overburdened by subtlety, is what I'm saying.) They are as schlocky a bunch of thrillers as you could ever hope to find, but for some reason I can't get enough of them, despite the fact that they're... very much not great. They lean pretty damn heavy on ridiculous tropes, and I've never seen a more Mary Sue lead than I have in this series, but the biggest complaint I have with them is that the same line appears almost literally word for word in the first nine books ('Hunter’s biggest passion was single malt Scotch whiskey, but unlike most, he knew how to appreciate its flavor and quality instead of simply getting drunk on it.'). I made a comment about it on Reddit on an r/books thread about your favourite terrible authors.

That post was made in January of 2019; in April, his book Hunting Evil came out, and the line was nowhere to be seen. I didn't think much of it until his new book, Written in Blood, came out a few days ago, and also didn't have the line in it. This comment is also one of the top answers if you google his name and the book series via Reddit -- exactly what you'd do if you were looking to see if people on the internet were talking about your books. I also can't find any evidence of anyone else pointing this out in a review or suchlike.

So yeah... in short, three months after I made that comment, he broke the habit of a decade of writing and finally decided that after nine stories that used this as a crutch for Hunter's personality, it was too much.

I know you're reading this, Chris. I know.

Someone Asked “What Are You Certain Of, Right Down To Your Bones, Without Proof?” And 40 Folks Delivered Back when I was 10 there was a competition for schoolkids to write a treatment for an episode of Doctor Who, with the best one being developed into an full episode in the next series and the winner receiving a writing credit. I was a huge fan of DW at the time and the competition was actually run through schools, so my teacher made the entire class do it, but I was very excited.

I began writing a story about the Doctor landing on a planet full of defective cybermen, who's programming had gone a wry and had been left on this asylum planet to rot. The Doctor lands there in response to a mysterious distress call from a woman and attempts to find and save her while avoiding the dangerous dysfunctional cybermen and the looming threat of planetary destruction at the hands of the normal cybermen. I finished my short treatment and gave it to my teacher to submit. Unfortunately it turned out the competition was very strict about the formatting of submissions and mine was returned because I had used the wrong formatting in some way, it seemed like a weird reason. I was a bit disappointed and that was the end of that.

But then, a year or two later, there was an episode of DW called Asylum of the Daleks, which seemed incredibly similar to my story except with Daleks. So incredibly, eerily, similar in fact, that to this day I am absolutely convinced that Steven Moffat saw my script and came up with a formatting excuse so that he could remove me from the competition, steal my story, change the bad guys and claim it as his own. I have zero evidence, I don't even still have the treatment I wrote, or any letter from the BBC about my submission, and yet I know in my bones that Steven Moffat stole his script from 10 yr old me.

Dylan Clements 3 years ago

So, imagine that people buy a new mattress every 20 years or so; that would mean in a town of 80,000, approximately 4,000 mattresses a year are sold. Divided across 7 mattress retailers, that would be about 1.5 mattresses sales a day per location (if they were open 365 days a year). Given that a typical mattress is around $1K (at least where I am) that means they are bringing in revenue of somewhere in the range of $45K revenue a month per store. Depending on the rent for the showrooms and the base costs of mattresses, that is enough to support a business that doesn't have a large number of employees. Note, all of this was based on educated guesses on my part, but it does seem at least plausible that they could be in operation and making a reasonable profit absent mob support.

Not everyone can afford it or needs it as often, especially if you buy something that lasts and take care of it. People with big dogs and children might have more wear and tear..

Getting a name tattooed on your body is a curse both on you and the person whose name is on you for as long as you wear it.

When someone tells you "no i didn't eat your ice cream that you kept at the fridge for later", they for sure did and you don't need proof!

Someone Asked “What Are You Certain Of, Right Down To Your Bones, Without Proof?” And 40 Folks Delivered There is probably 7 degrees of separation from everyone and a serial killer. That number is probably lower than 7.

Edit: Make it 3 degrees. I don't know the real number. The number doesn't matter to me, really- the point was we're all close to a serial killer.

More likely he grew out of it, as people sometimes do.

Having started as a content creator that made articles for Bored Panda from scratch I climbed my way up to being and editor and then had team lead responsibilities added as well. So it was a pretty natural transition from writing articles and titles as well as preparing the visual part for the articles to making sure others are doing those same tasks as I did before well, answering their questions and guiding them when needed. Eventually I realized editing gives me the most enjoyment and I'm focusing only on that right now.

Very interesting post. I hope to see more like this in the future. I do agree with the alien theories for sure, simply from a mathematical perspective.

I think we share earth with life forms that our 3 dimensional senses cannot conceive . Sometimes we mistake them for ghosts or aliens if we catch a glimpse. Why? Because I know that there are hundreds of life forms right now that cannot conceive of us for instance creatures who know the world only by taste or smell or touch. I often wonder as well what ants recognise, is human distinct to them from DOG or are we all strange blobs that they don't differentiate between from their tiny little perspectives.

All these comments about aliens... I'm convinced octopi are aliens. Can't tell you how they got here, but their capabilities are astonishing - almost out of this world ;)

Similarly to the Dr Who text, I remember once drawing fan art for a game and sending it to this publishers fan art email address. Later when the game was released, there was a vehicle that suspicously looked a lot like my fan art. I'm glad if they really used the art to make something, even though the game turned out to be quite awful.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Unfortunately, many people believe the following without good evidence: Aliens came to Earth, anti-vaccine, alternative medicine, horoscope, religion, etc.

Like the Dr Who one, I entered a songwriting competition in 1993 and submitted a cassette demo of a song I'd written, but never made a backup copy. A couple of years I suddenly heard a song almost identical to mine but with different lyrics - it was Kiss From A Rose. Seal claims to have written it in 1987, but I wonder if the competition was a front for a record company to harvest some song ideas.

The lottery is fake. Either it's rigged (only certain types of people win it, let alone those that have won it multiple times), or the money that is won isn't all of it (part of the money gets taken by the government).

I truly believe there a life after death. An experience, something more after the fact. And every single person alive will be surprised one way or the other despite some having gud guesses they'll be surprised by the actual thing.

Pitying African Americans will never lift the most desperate out of poverty without them being taught behavioral changes. The same for the most desperate impoverished whites. It not the system. It is how you interact with the system. The Asians proved that.

My boyfriend and I believe it's easier to wash someone else's dishes than our own. More often than not, he'll do the dishes and tidy up my kitchen and has a 2 day stack of dishes waiting for him in his flat.

Life. We can create it or remove it. We destroy species and just move on. Eventually we will all be one mixed race of humanity. But for some reason although we are all human we can't get along. We war. We humiliate. We steal an murder. But we all are the same. If people understood that basic fact that we live all the same, we could get rid of war and hunger and poverty an adjust the mean scale to equality for everyone and have utopia on this planet and become a better species. With that we could accomplish great things on our planet an enjoyable harmony with the planet an the universe itself. Also black holes aren't flat like depicted but at 3 dimensional orb intaking at all angles. Thank you.

I believe that we're causing a future water shortage by throwing away glass and plastic bottles with just a bit (or a lot) of liquid closed up in them. One day we will root around in landfills for water.
