Food prancing around in front of you can be a powerful motivator.

Well it is reflection for things which gets thrown back with same angle as incident angle and the post here is referring to it.

Well, I learned that in my German physics class so I assumed itd be the same for the Englishman
Edit: should be called scattering

I've long considered golf to be the safest sport there is. As long as you abide by the rules, don't act like a jackass and make sure everyone in the area is aware that you are about to swing, it should be pretty much the safest sport around and one you can do into your later years.
And then one day I was working at a country club and an older fella got heat stroke, fell down a slope and broke his ankle. If we hadn't been driving around in a golf cart, doing the hourly rounds, he'd have probably died out there.
So.. yeah. Agree.

I had no idea idea what water tables were and now I find out.. well now I click.. that ofc there's water under land! It didn't occur to me. So it's the bit where the groundwater meets the soil?
That means we have water on water below us. The fresh groundwater and the ocean that our land floats on top of. You also don't really think of diving under a country do you. I've gone on a tangent..
Aah yes water above and below 😌

I'm happy to hear an argument about any moral claims.
How fortunate that in a reality where moral opinions are just random chance and not based on anything real, we find ourselves in a society that matches your morality. There can't possibly be an underlying cause for societies making similar moral decisions

Actually there’s a reason. When you get an erection , it generally goes up. So the North Pole? Think about it

Then you should be equal open to treating your water bottle with the same level of respect. Don't try to argue that it isn't living, because those are my morals.
It doesn't matter dude. We pick what we want. But thankfully, society mostly aligns with what I consider the most morally outrageous such as rape, murder, etc.

Why does that make it make sense? You could just as easily say the land mass is more dense, so it should be considered the bottom, or considering populations, it makes more sense to consider the landmass as a mountain, and more people live in the valleys than the peaks.
There's not a geographical reason, there's a sociological reason, informed by geography.

That makes sense. I noticed a more intense amount of condensation around compared to before adding the salt. Which prompted me to check the pot. Same temp, but half had disappeared very quickly. Whereas before, it had been boiling away for at least twice as long.
So in relation to the sea levels.. do the icebergs have more salt in them or is there more salt in the atmosphere contributing to the heating.. OR.. none of this nonsense? 😅

There's a lot of truth to what you're saying, but there's an inherent natural inclination to see up/down as fixed and side/side as variable (seeing as that's where we do and don't have total freedom of movement) and using the (more or less) fixed poles as the fixed point makes a sort of sense that would arise naturally, I think.

Get help.
You’ve yet to offer even a hint of how you would have things work because you are complaining about things which are fundamental to the human condition and cannot be changed. You think you see things from a sage and complex perspective when really you’re whining about the facts of life that every well adjusted human has already accepted.
No one gives a singular fuck that you didn’t give consent to being born, no one wants to hear you complain about it either so stop wasting oxygen.
I sincerely hope you find a path to happiness but I’m not holding my breath, you are a miserable fuck who is content to wallow in self pity over that which cannot be changed.

I wonder if it's a personality thing, given a blank piece of paper and your own deduced position, if you would naturally place yourself on the upper half or the lower half.
I think if it was me, I'd probably place myself on the lower half, with the intention of climbing upward to explore, rather than delving lower to explore. Maybe that's because I'm not an explorer, and see possibilities in the sky, and inhospitabilities below.

I was mostly thinking about water tables, I live in an area with water tables everywhere and thought it was funny we had water down low beneath our feet and also floating in clouds overhead. But now that you mention it yes its literally in the very air we breath. We’re literally surrounded by water.
