droste effect

The droste effect is the effect of a picture recursively appearing within itself, in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. And while the appearance may be recursive, the smaller version contains an even smaller version of the picture, and so on. Only in theory could this go on forever, as fractals can sometimes do; practically, it continues only as long as the resolution of the picture allows, which is relatively short, since each iteration geometrically reduces the picture's size.

This sentence says, "This sentence says, "This sentence says, "This sentence says, "..."""" - (example of the droste effect )

boreout

Boreout (or Boredom Burnout Syndrome) is a psychological disorder that causes both mental and physical illness. On the psychological level, boredom, dissatisfaction and permanent frustration gradually lead the victim of burnout into a vicious circle. It gradually loses the will to act at the professional level and at the personal level. To the loss of self-esteem, is added the constant anxiety of being discovered. The burnout victim lives with the constant fear that his supervisor, his colleagues and even his friends will discover his inactivity and his duplicity. A state of constant sadness takes hold of the employee provoking crises of tears for no particular reason. Being constantly confronted with the emptiness of his professional life and his uselessness in society, the employee is in great pain. Suffering all the more accentuated that it can not be shared and if it is, is not understood. Boreout is also a trigger for physical diseases such as certain types of epilepsy caused by stress or exhaustion, severe sleep disorders, hand and voice tremors, shingles and ulcers.

“Boreout consists of three elements: boredom, lack of challenge, and lack of interest.”

Meow! Polo!

Meow! Polo! - this is an adorable and friendly game that can be played between a cat and it’s human. Very similar to the participation in the Marco Polo threshold, but since a cat can’t say, “Marco!”, “Meow!” will have to suffice. In response to the “Meow!”, (Marco) from the cat, it’s human should then say, “Polo!” The game ends when the losing opponent stops responding in return.

I decided to start a game of Meow! Polo! when my cat Snee - Ki, started to have a separation/anxiety attack when she couldn’t find me. In response to her exclaiming “Meow!, I would then answer back by saying,”Polo!”

meta-ethics

Meta-ethics is the branch of ethics that seeks to understand the nature of ethical properties, statements, attitudes, and judgments. Meta-ethics is one of the three branches of ethics generally studied by philosophers, the others being normative ethics and applied ethics.

There are three kinds of meta-ethics problems, or three general questions:

1) What is the meaning of moral terms or judgments? (moral semantics)
2) What is the nature of moral judgments? (moral ontology)
3) How may moral judgments be supported or defended? (moral epistemology) A question of the first type might be, "What do the words 'good', 'bad', 'right' and 'wrong' mean?" The second category includes questions of whether moral judgments are universal or relative, of one kind or many kinds, etc. Questions of the third kind ask, for example, how we can know if something is right or wrong, if at all.

drip rifle

A drip rifle is a self-firing rifle which worked simply by having water from one soup can, drip into a lower soup can. When the water in the lower soup can, which was attached to the trigger of the rifle, reached a certain weight, the rifle was fired. This ruse could lead a battle front of defenders, into believing that there could still be troops opposing them, while the soldiers were being evacuated. Lots of drip rifles can be set to go off at different times, to give the impression that the enemy forces, were still in a defensive position.

“The Anzac soldiers in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps of 1914 - 1918, would sometimes employ the specialized use of a drip rifle, in order to confuse or manipulate the opposing offense into believing that they were at a tactical disadvantage, when in fact, they were not.”

Every kiss begins with K

“Every kiss begins with K” is one of many one-liner comeback jokes, that can be expressed after someone audibly releases a bellowed cloud of flatulence, or any other related type of cacophonous din.

Agent Oh: “Harder Daddy!”
Agent K: “Sure thing, boss lady.”
Agent Oh: (releases a fart from queefing)
Agent K: “Every kiss begins with K!”
