    That clowns always looked like a clown. I should spot them out and about, doing groceries and stuff. Like, just the Dad would be a clown. Or, where are the baby clowns; teen clowns, etc?

      I 'unno, I feel like films like Robocop, Total Recall, and the later Demolition Man got a lot of it right. Big indomitable corpos were frequent villains in pop culture of that era.

    Trees were unable to grow to more than 10 feet tall. I clearly had no sense of what 10 feet actually looked like.

    I had this weird belief, assumption, whatever, that salt and pepper were anti-particles, and if you could mix them together in just the right way, they would cancel each other out and taste like nothing.

    So, multiple times when we as a family went out to eat, I would finish my food and then while all the adults were talking, I would take out a napkin and put salt and pepper on it. And then, because they don’t blend together, I would use a little bit of water, like trying to get exactly the right ratio to make the pepper disappear the way the salt did.

    I was a born alchemist.

    I thought it was possible to die from messing up your breathing in/breathing out ratio too much.

        I mean … yes. If the ratio of your breathing in to breathing out is too far away from 1:1 for a relatively short period of time, you will die.
