    I get the sentiment but I’m willing to bet a vast majority of people genuinely think they would “just do the right thing in that situation.” But people underestimate the temptation in the moment. They’ve never actually thought to try and put themselves in that situation, or what they might do, they just thought “of course im a good person” and left it at that.

    And naturally the mere suggestion of “thinking it out” is met with ridicule. “How can you even consider it?! This should be a fast, easy answer!!”. When not thinking about it at all is what contributed to it happening.












  • There are dudes who come to work in their giant trucks and let them run idle in the parking lot for 10-15 minutes before work everyday. They don’t turn off the truck and sit inside, they let it run in park. I have no idea why they don’t at least turn off their trucks. Also not sure why they don’t clock in early (our job allows this and I get at least 1 hour of ot each week just from clocking in a little early each day).

    Im guessing people just don’t think or care. They only see “I need a new car. Let me look at new cars. Only big vehicles? OK sure whatever. I just want a new one I don’t care about specifics”.




  • He was a homeless man who shit in people’s lawns lol. I know a couple stories, he’s a huge troll.

    Plato was teaching a class, where they defined human as “hairless and bi-pedal”. So Diogenes plucked a chicken and brought it to class and said “Behold!! A man!”.

    Diogenes was washing some vegetables in a river (naked of course) and Plato approached him and said “Diogenes, if only you could pay taxes to the king, you wouldn’t have to wash your food in a river.” And Diogenes replied “Plato, if only you could wash food in a river, you wouldn’t have to pay taxes to the king.”

    Diogenes was sun bathing on a beach (naked) when Alexander the Great approached him. Being a fan he told Diogenes (who was still laying naked in the sand) that he wanted to give Diogenes a gift. Anything within Alexander’s power to give, just ask. So Diogenes asked “Could you take a few steps to the side? You’re blocking the sun.”

    I have no sources just things I’ve heard lol
