Normalize understanding that men and women aren't very different in this regard. I once asked a girl what was going on in her head and she was thinking about stinkbugs, and if you could handle them carefully enough to not get stanked.
For anyone wondering:
Take a paper towel, grip both ends, gently place paper towel over the stinkbug and close both ends keeping the length taut (not putting any pressure or touching where the stinkbug is, just letting the U-shaped fold in the center where you are not touching enclose the stinkbug). Gently twist to seal exits while not squeezing the stinkbug.
You are now holding a paper towel with a non-activated stinkbug. Do what you will with that stinkbug.
You are out here providing solutions, and I appreciate it.
Hey psst-… I heard that Townlately was into you

Did… did you marry her?
It's sad that I read this and the first thought was not about how similar we can be but more, "well...I suppose if you were gentle..."
If you aren't willing to engage with your partner about their weird little interests, don't expect them to engage with you about yours. This goes for all genders.
Healthy relationships are about sharing all the odd things going in your head with someone receptive to and interested in those odd things.
This is called knowing somebody and it really feels like it's an utterly lost concept now. It's no wonder people are abandoning relationships right now, people never talk about the rewards, only made-up problems and conflicts get circulated.
100%. When my wife asks me this question, I always ask...."are you sure you want to know?".
Once it was the astronomical odds of reincarnation if bacteria was a factor when reincarnating. The math just isn't there and your odds of coming back as a human would be older than the universe.
She rarely asks me this ever now lol.
It's a quick reset, though. You'll get back to human eventually unless you end up as one of those immortal trees or something.

That would imply that bacteria have souls which means that I'm committing genocide each time I'm cleaning my toilet. I always assumed that you could only reincarnate into creatures complex enough to actually have sentience.
Edit: Also a fun fact is that if you count all human beings that have ever lived in the entire human history it would still not be close enough to the number of bacteria that live in or on a single human being (roughly 117 billion humans compared to around 20 to 30 trillion bacteria).

Normalize having absurd and weird conversations between loved ones.
100x this.
I don't know about everyone, but I find that these types of conversations can be stimulating/interesting
How is that dumb?! Can you explain how bike tires are made then? Yeah, that's what I thought!!

This is an astoundingly perfect reference, bravo
Bicycle tires were invented by Dunlop and improved by Michelin.
You know these names, because it actually wasn't a dumb idea.
Im a girl and half the time my brain is just spinning Maxwell cat gif, the other half I'm either thinking about theory or Linux :3

Any chance I get to post this is a good one.
How is that dumb shit? Tires are high tech!
I guess because a boy thought it
"dumb shit"?! I -and I'd bet all the brave bike tyre workers around the world- feel deeply offended.

I had just bought a Camry Hybrid and my wife and I were driving in it doing errands... I have a tell when something is on my mind and my wife invariably asks what it is. Usually it really isn't anything significant and that time was no different...
Except....
I launched into a very detailed explanation as to how the Toyota Hybrid Synergy system really works and it lasted till we got home... Did I mention we had three stops and we're on our way to the first?
She has not asked what is on my mind since.
This is a tragedy to me, one of the many reasons I married my wife is because she's the only person who has ever been excited to hear my info dumps.

How do they get the rubber out of the volcano?

And steel mesh.
We just tell you some stupid shit to leave us alone, and you're buying it.
I stood in one place for 3 hours while they meditated and stopped thinking so the time would go by quickly until they were done and we could go for lunch. Not sure what they were trying to accomplish in that time.
I found out if I really focus on my breathing I can stop thinking for a short while and often practice that.
When I try that, music starts playing in my head. There's never any quiet there.
A short while back someone posted or commented something like “Brains are mostly fat and water. No wonder they’re screwing up all the time.” That has stuck with me. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that a mashed potato with self-awareness thinks about shit all the time.
"a bowl of tapioca pudding managed to hallucinate so vividly it invented calculus" I love that post
