So i tried walking over to a park near where i live the other day,
It's about a mile away, and it nearly killed me!
My left foot, which is my ‘Good’ Foot went completely numb and felt like it was swelling up,
But when i got to the park and sat down, then examined it, it looked OK...???

Do you have memories that seem completely real, but you aren't quite able to place them anywhere...? They seem to have all the usual attributes of a memory, but you don't know when they happened, or where...???
i've had memories like this from time to time throughout my whole life, but now, they are starting to become more frequent.
Typically; The memory will seem very tangible, and then they will disappear in a day or two, only to be recalled if i made a note or reminder of that peculiar memory in my day journal.

Also: If we were turned into robots and had a tiny fusion generator built into us, so that we wouldn't have to eat, and the internal primal drive to procreate were erased from our programming...
What would we do?
We'd no longer be driven insensibly to have sex, and wouldn't want to eat, & have no need or necessity to work to provide shelter or food for ourselves or children...
What would we do to fill our afternoons?
It seems to me that if we were robots, we'd be substantially more free than we are now, but what we do with that freedom?

i've also been thinking, or wondering, what is the best idea that humanimals have ever come up with?
Such an idea would necessarily have to be functional.
But it should also be inobvious.
Or extremely crazy and functional.
Or just crazy and sensible, but not very functional, or functional within the parameters of a story...???
i can't seem to think of a really good candidate?
