That's sort of tangentially related to one of the most discussed subjects in science fiction: how do starfleet personnel poop. Trek has never shown a bathroom or even a toilet, so it's assumed that they use a dedicated transporter device to just beam the waste out of people and into the matter reprocessing hoppers for the food synthesizers.

The thing is, I find this totally plausible for a real civilization that is capable of bending time/space for FTL travel. Why the heck would they get stuff out of their butt the dirty way. It just makes sense.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

I've been making subtle inquiries about this stuff to people I know over the past few months. Nearly everyone has an experience where they saw something weird, or they know someone who swears they saw something inexplicable. I've gotten very little skeptical pushback, and when I do it's usually only from the reddit :razz: types.

I bring it up to everyone and I swear it's one in ten people with a UFO experience.

The transporter is locked onto their biosignatures at all times they are on the ship. They drop it in their pant and it's gone before touching cloth

I'd definitely want a small personal transporter right at the threshold of my anus so I get the physical feel and experience of making GBS threads but as it crosses into freedom it's instantly beamed into the waste disposal. Imagine the bridge crew were just randomly taking big dumps at any given time.

What are the good high strangeness books? Not like Joe Rogan "whoa, what if we're in a video game"... Like, "what if our perceived universe is made of information from a higher dimension", and "how does consciousness affect reality" type stuff.

Start out with the Mothman Prophecies by John Keel. It's kinda the cornerstone of the modern phenomenon and so much high strangeness stuff draws from it, knowingly or unknowingly that you simply have to read it as foundation. From there, check out Hunt for the Skinwalker by Knapp and Kelleher. Read both with a critical eye mind you, there's a lot to not trust for a variety of reasons, but I'd argue that those two books are as foundational as anything, and they're both page turners to boot, so it's not like it's a hardship to go through them.

So I was just sitting in my car outside my house to smoke a bowl and saw a bunch of flashing orangeish lights travelling in a pattern. At first it was just 4 in a row side by side travelling in formation, and then I started seeing more after that, all travelling southward. I pulled up FlightRadar and there was nothing travelling in a southbound direction for miles, all I saw on there were a couple of commercial flights travelling westward that I could also see with my eyes. I've seen several more of the orange lights as I write this post. Took some lovely video, but not sure what to do with it. This was above the northwest Denver suburbs.

I'm also noticing that there's basically no traffic to our local airport, which is unusual. The skies are actually pretty empty in general. I didn't hear any discernable noise from the lights either. Possibly drones? They seem to have finally tapered off. I did see a couple of them change direction in midair and then fade from view a couple seconds later.

I'm uploading the videos to YouTube now, I'll pop the links up when they finish if there's interest.

Edit: Here's the first video of a cluster of the lights, I think it was 4 at first and then one disappeared during it, but my lovely zoom skills were on display. Also there's an annoying streetlight.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0AI82WmJEU

And Edit 2: Here's the second video I took, just trying to follow one of the lights while keeping the streetlight as much out of the shot as possible. Couldn't tell if it just disappeared behind the tree or if its trajectory took it out of line of sight.

there's one that i forget the name of and is somewhere on the internet for free where satan and idk metatron are ~12-dimensional sapient hyperweapons created by like 23-dimensional ultra beings to fight some kinda incomprehensible conflict or other. These dimensions include multiple dimensions of time. Also somebody really hosed up so they keep modifying what we perceive to be the laws of physics as part of the conflict. I think at one point they "roll up" the universe so nothing else can get in or leave until their problem gets hashed out? They're basically playing chess but have the ability to also change the rules and the pieces and the board, and this has some lovely consequences for us that eventually gets fixed, like we're retrocausially disconnected from the real world because somebody will have ran an annoying particle physics experiment that distracted these entities or w/e.

iirc this book i'm thinking of is not from the author who wrote Unsong and i just think of them together because they pull certain esoteric themes and put them in a new context. It's a not super great work but it was sorta alright and I don't regret reading it. Probably not strange in the way you mean, at best it brushes up against it.

That's not even remotely Starlink. Not at all what it looks like, behaves like, not at that brightness/size, etc.

It could absolutely have a prosaic explanation but it's not Starlink. It was interesting how they changed altitude several times and weren't moving exclusively horizontally.
