AVFCforever1991 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I often wonder if people can read my mind when I'm thinking some very dodgy things. I'll often be standing in a group, have a thought pop up and look around to see if anyone is looking shocked or surprised. When I see no reactions I'm happy that no-one in that group can see what I'm thinking. Or do they just hide it really well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 18, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2014 Whether everyone sees colours differently. For example, I may see what you see as blue, as orange, but you'd never know. Great minds. Nearly 3 years ago: I think we've covered this on here before, but for years I've wondered if everyone sees colours the same. I have a weird theory that people don't. What I know as blue may be the same as what you know as red, but because it's always been called blue I wouldn't know it was any different. Could account for different tastes in fashion and design etc. I'm sure someone will show me something that proves that that's utter nonsense, but it doesn't change the fact that I often wonder about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I've always wondered what happens if you put something stapled into the shredder, does it just shred it or get clogged. I've also thought about that colour thing before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC_Hitz Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 If football had faces and heels like wrestling, would Aston Villa be a face or a heel? I have no idea what any of that means, so I will just say Delroy Facey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 On the whole perception of colors thing I remember Dr Robert Winstone talking about it in one of his books, I can't remember what he said exactly but i think the main take away was that there's no way of knowing. Makes me wonder what else we might percieve differently as indivuduals though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Like that whole simulated reality stuff. How do I know you all even exist? For like, realsies? Freaks me out. But even if this is all just in my mind, as long as my brain can still replicate the taste of crunchy nut corn flakes or project the image of Eliza Dushku then I won't fight it. I'd have totally taken the blue pill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekka Posted February 18, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted February 18, 2014 I've always wondered what happens if you put something stapled into the shredder, does it just shred it or get clogged. I've also thought about that colour thing before. People at work used to just shove whole documents stapled into the industrial-sized shredder. One day, it caught fire. Nowadays, there is a sign above the new shredder saying "DO NOT PUT STAPLES THROUGH SHREDDER. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED". True story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted February 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2014 I've always wondered what happens if you put something stapled into the shredder, does it just shred it or get clogged.

Nowadays, there is a sign above the new shredder saying "DO NOT PUT STAPLES THROUGH SHREDDER. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED". True story. Back in the day when recycled paper was a crazy sci fi new idea, we bought a load of it to save the planet. Unfortunately the quality was poor, you could see it was basically pulped Weetabix and bits would flake off and kill the photocopier. The copier guy came out, fixed the machine and told us to stop using that paper. So, as we had piles of the stuff, I took one sheet or the greyish poor quality paper and wrote on it 'DO NOT USE THIS PAPER' and pinned it above the offending stack of duff paper. Later that day, the copier isn't working, I investigate and some amateur self lobotomiser has filled the machine with the rubbish paper. I mention: 'but there's a big sign there saying DO NOT USE THIS PAPER' girly from admin: 'oooh, I thought it just meant that piece' 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted February 19, 2014 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 19, 2014 I have a variant on that story. At the uni we had recycling bins marked: "clean paper", "plastics, metals & food packaging" and "landfill". One day I spotted one of the office blondes putting piles of printouts into the landfill bin. So I asked her why she didn't put it in the paper recycling one. Her reply? "But... that's only for clean paper, isn't it? This has got print all over it..." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
