分享有趣的“浴中哲思”
中國日報網 2014-03-26 09:09
據(jù)說,很多偉大的思想和理論都是科學家和思想家們在洗澡、睡覺或吃飯時突然想到的。我們普通人在洗澡、發(fā)呆時也會有很多奇思妙想,這些思想就叫shower thought。
Shower thought is a loose term that applies to any thought you might have while carrying out a routine task like showering, driving, or daydreaming.
Shower thought(浴中哲思)其實是一個泛指,可以用來指代你在沐浴、開車或者做白日夢等一些常規(guī)事物的時候產生的一些想法。
以下是Reddit網站推出的shower thought頁面上,網友留下的一些奇思妙想:
It would be so easy (to) kidnap someone who is waiting for the bus. I just need a bus.
綁架一個等公交車的人其實特別容易。我只需要有輛公交車。
I am technically considered an illiterate in every country that doesn't speak English.
在不說英語的那些國家,我基本就算個文盲。
Aliens could already be observing Earth, but their ships look like clouds...
或許外星人早就在觀察地球呢,只不過他們的飛船外形像云彩而已…
Maybe the reason we teach grade schoolers information that won't be retained or applicable later in life is because memory is generally limited at early ages and useless information helps keep the brain fresh while not allocating memory.
或許,我們把那些留不住以后又用不上的信息教給小學生是因為早期的記憶總量是有限的,而那些無用的信息可以讓他們的大腦保持更新狀態(tài)但又不用占據(jù)記憶空間。
Spring is a lie! It is a conspiracy started by the floral industry to sell more flowers.
春天就是個騙局!是花卉業(yè)為了多賣點花發(fā)起的一場陰謀。
Why do some clothes come in extra-small, and extra-large sizes, but never extra-medium?
為什么有的衣服有超小號和超大號,卻從來沒有過超中號?
