5 second rule for fridge doors:

If you still don't know what you wanted, what you wanted was water.

#fivesecondrule

@teledyn Invariably for me, though: What I wanted was in the dryer.
@sillygwailo I'm actually noticing more and more such concept crossovers. Grounds go into the FILTRE receptacle, not the target CUP receptacle.
@teledyn If I canโ€™t find my glasses, I always check the fridge. โ€œDonโ€™t rule out the fridge until youโ€™ve looked thereโ€ is a longstanding policy of mine.

@sillygwailo a friend of my parents would keep her wallet in the fridge, because her puppy would chew it if he found it. We often teased her about having cold cash ๐Ÿ˜

The more I consider it, keeping reading glasses in the fridge would often be useful; anywhere else they'd be likely hidden under something the boys put down. Horizontal surfaces in our house have a massive gravitational constant.

@sillygwailo besides, the predictive quality of Feynman's sum of all possible histories makes any obscuration or container of comparable size a prime candidate! ๐Ÿ˜…

@sillygwailo

Y'know, some folks get upset when I invoke Feynman to excuse my senility ๐Ÿ˜…

@sillygwailo

Thing is, I can remember Feynman but don't recall if I locked the back door ๐Ÿ˜

@sillygwailo

โ€ฆ and been that way since I was twelve ๐Ÿ˜…

@teledyn Well, I subscribe to the Julian Barbour theory of time, which seems compatible with that of Douglas Adams, that itโ€™s an illusion. Barbourโ€™s theory seems somewhat compatible with Feynmanโ€™s multiple (infinite?) histories, but itโ€™s ultimately unknowable which one weโ€™re in (because we canโ€™t know what the other timelines are), so we should still not use that as an excuse to let each other off the hook when we cause harm.
@sillygwailo Hawking just collapsed all the multiverses, brilliantly I think. Just finished On the Origin of Time, it's wonderful, and Feynman is at its core. ๐Ÿ˜Š Also Lamaitre which is kind of nice too, like when Copernicus was no longer a dirty word.
