    Imo when life is fun you should try to enjoy it and when its bad you should try to enjoy it just to spite the haters, not that it matters anyways if youre not enjoying it.

    Jaguars and anacondas don’t get to see that chill nihilism from capybaras.

    Also, if you see a group of them wandering, do not try to chill with them.

    Nihilism (the philosophy) needs a new label. Like “retarded” or “manic depressive”, the common usage has overtaken the academic meaning. I’m not complaining, this is a natural and good process of language. Just saying we need a new term.

      It’s extremely common for different fields of inquiry (scientific, mathematical, philosophical, etc) to reuse common words. If we had to come up with brand new words for everything in every field then we’d all be speaking gibberish, like they do in medicine!

              The nostrils are connected to the throat through the sinuses as are the ear canals. Topologically making them all part of the same mouth-anus throughole.

                Not true, topolgically the route

                left nostril -> sinus -> right nostril

                is another hole. So is

                any nostril -> sinus -> mouth.

                ears have the eardrum, so they don’t count.

                For the more formal definitions of topological holes, look up Betti numbers, I think there’s a VSauce video about it? For humans, the number of holes is at least 3 (but I’m sure I’m missing many more holes). Unless you’re missing the entire septum.
