Has the "Final Frontier" icon changed recently?
I have it as my default icon and I could have sworn it wasn’t as colorful before? I absolutely love the stars and the reflection in the helmet. Maybe I just haven’t been paying enough attention but it looks even better than I remember!

What is the last video game that you were completely hooked on?
The kind of game you daydream about while at school or work because you can’t wait to come home and play some more.
Do you still get the "it's Friday!" feeling?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I don’t have to go to work for a few days. But I don’t quite get the same excitement for the weekend that I used to. I hope that you do! If so, how do you cultivate that feeling?
True happiness is the intersection of imagination and reality. It's visualizing joy with eyes closed and, upon opening them, finding yourself exactly where you wish to be.
If we all exist in a simulation, what will happen once we start running out of RAM?
Assuming our simulation is not designed to auto-scale (and our Admins don’t know how to download more RAM), what kind of side effects could we see in the world if the underlying system hosting our simulation began running out of resources?

Is it possible to exhaust a core memory to the point that it is no longer as meaningful to you?
When thinking about the most important moment(s) of your life, do you still feel the full range of emotion associated with that memory? What if you keep recalling the same memory many times, does the intensity of emotion fade?

Do cosmologists know for sure that the Big Bang is propelling all matter away?
Is it at all possible that instead of being pushed away, we are instead getting pulled toward something huuuuuge via gravity? As if we are falling into something way greater than ourselves? I thought this was a wild idea but after I Googled it I found out that there is such a thing as a “Great Attractor”. Something 150...

When was the last time a dream made you feel genuinely happy, and what was it about?
About 3 years ago I dreamt that I was in a downtown Chicago office interviewing for a fancy new job. For whatever reason my mom came along for the interview and was patiently waiting for me in the office lobby. About half way through the interview it began to dawn on me that my mom passed away over a decade ago. This realization...

Now that AI generated text is mostly indistinguishable from human text, AI may start influencing the evolution of our language.
Given that language is an important lens through which we see the world, AI could subtly alter our perceptions and beliefs over the coming years, decades, and centuries.
Why are so many TV shows trying to be "meta" these days? I think it's lazy writing.
I just watched the first episode of the new Futurama season and the running gag was their attempt to make fun of the Hulu streaming network (Fulu)… in the year 3023. Not only that, but they also parody Black Mirror which itself parodies Netfix (Streamberry) in their latest season....
"Block The Rich" is like an ad-blocker, but for obscenely wealthy people with overinflated egos. (lemm.ee)
About 8 months ago I got pretty tired of seeing billionaire spam online. I could not bear to read about yet another rich guy who launched themselves (or their $200,000 car) into outer space 🚀 . I did not care about their expert opinion on the latest meme coin back then. I do not care about their expert opinion on the dangers...

Why does Playstation hold a special place in your heart?
Often when I turn on my PS5 I think of the those endless summer days alternating between going outside in the sweltering heat and playing my PS1 in front of the air conditioner with my older brother. Those were the days!
