What do you think about, when you’re not thinking of anything else?

  1. Dean’s tooth.
    — Tim Merritt    Jan 28, 03:05 PM    #
  2. I like to sit on the train and think about what other people are thinking about. And sometimes, I think about what they think I’m thinking about. That, or what the best superpower is. It’s always a toss-up between time-stopping and teleportation. Right now I’m a teleportation kinda guy.

  10. The power of cheese.

  18. What was the question again? I was thinking of that other thing over there, the one by the round thing that’s broken, no that other one. That’s it, leave it alone. Look, your shoe’s untied. Ha! Made you look!
    — Jackelope    Jan 28, 03:47 PM    #

  21. what it would be like to have nothing hanging over my head. and by nothing, i mean, not even the fact that i’m even one mile overdue for an oil change in my car. I think that would be an incredible feeling. of course, i know that this is impossible and i need to wake the fuck up.
    — beccafive    Jan 28, 03:55 PM    #
  22. I like to imagine what other people would have been had they lived in a different age or place. I know I would have been a ruddy peasant woman with 19 children by now. If that’s not interesting enough, there’s always music in my head even when I’m not thinking of music at all.

  23. Life.
    — Nick    Jan 28, 04:03 PM    #
  24. Whatever video game I’ve been playing. Note those also crop up as dreams if playtime >= 2 hours/day. If not video games, then speeches. Long strings of words flowing out of a tangent to a scene which has already happened, and during which I said very little.
    — The Ardent Stone    Jan 28, 04:07 PM    #
  25. When I’m not thinking of anything else, I tend to think about how I can hear my own voice in my head saying that I’m not thinking about anything, and how that ought to be a paradox of sorts.
    — Dan    Jan 28, 04:14 PM    #
  26. how did i get here?

  27. I think about how funny it is to think about being an existentialist, but how sad it is to actually be one.
    — three legged pi    Jan 28, 04:27 PM    #
  28. I ponder the random 80s song that is currently on heavy rotation in my mind (one always is), and how it pertains to my life. It’s like interpreting dreams, but it doesn’t take as long and often it’s much funnier. Other times i consider how to stop pollution, war and poverty. It’s always exciting when I think I’ve got it, then depressing when my plan develops a hole. So, to cheer up, i think about all the great things i’ll wear one day when i’m a rock star.

  30. when i’m not thinking nothing, i think about how similar the spanish for paintbrush is to the english for pencil and how similar their functions are even though they are etymologically unrelated. and then i go back to thinking of nothing. and then i think, which anything else?

  38. This is weird, watching the comments swamp that you’re getting. What would happen if you turned on comments for all of your posts? It would take me three times longer to read your updates.

    — Beerzie Boy    Jan 28, 05:45 PM    #
  49. I appear to have a ripped-off Picard character narrating my inner mind, trying to keep me from joining the crowds of people living for themselves. I think about peace, a lot. Mostly wanting some so I can nap. And I do occasionally think like Arthur. What if they find out? Am I a fraud? Why didn’t Bob get back to me? Why don’t people respond to their email? Pseudo-Picard usually steps in, though.
