We're including the whole world, not just the First World. So while you personally probably don't since you live in an area advanced enough to have computer access, more than 50% of the planet does have a worm. Plenty of parasitic worms besides tapeworms, some you can't see with the naked eye.Cassita said:
That's a comfortable truth.King_Burger said:
We evolved with parasites in and on our bodies, this whole parasite who-ha is a reasonably recent thing (e.g last few centuries). Be it e.coli living in our stomach or pinworms in the colon or any other type of parasite anywhere we've got some somewhereCassita said:
On to the uncomfortable truths
Your parents did and most likely still have sex if they are together.
No matter who universally acclaimed something is someone will always hate it just to be different.

I alienate people who try to know me
I'm lonely
I want a hug
I wish I could find the one woman who would give me the time of day to just hold each other.
Given the chance, with 0% chance of failure or being caught later or immediately, I would steal a million/billion dollars.
Edit: I stole 5$ from a girl in 3rd grade, I never felt sorry
Studies have shown that your opinion on something or someone has more to do with your opinion on what other people think than on the thing itself. So even when you disagree with mainstream views, you're still doing it because it's a mainstream view and not because you're a free thinker.
Examples: The reason you think Halo is bad is because you dislike somebody who liked it.
You have a crush on that girl because you think other people with good judgment like that girl.
You think my point here is crap because you're worried other people will think you like Halo if you agree with me because I used it in an example a few lines up.
This disturbs me to no end, because it's basically saying things become popular because they are popular and unpopular because they are unpopular and there is nothing that is inherently good or bad about anything.
Basically, we're all slaves to pop culture and it dictates all of our likes and dislikes. The only variable is how deluded we are about it's affect on us.

I just heard that in an episode of House M.D. last night, xD.Vilcus said:
So, is this a thread for personal truths, or just general truths?
Somewhere, someone is rubbing themselves off to this as we speak.
And, if it's personal...
When I was younger, I had nocturnal emission...
Yeah, you will feel bad, then you will forget all about it in 5 minutes. As I did
Earth is just a small rock in a galaxy beyond your comprehension, in a universe even bigger and more twisted, and it is very vulnerable.
Oh! Here's another:
Everyone dies alone.
Edit:
Cry tears of sad, because:
There is no catharsis.

- That whole "nice-guys-finish-last-boo-hoo-nobody-ever-gives-me-a-chance" act just makes you look like a whiny, insecure, self-effacing douchebag.
- A lot of times, being yourself means adopting and accepting mainstream views and opinions.
- There are billions of people alive in the world today, and billions of people have come before us. Chances are that great, brilliant, unique idea of yours has already been thought of many times over.
- We're living in an infinitely expanding Universe, meaning that not only are its borders moving further and further away from us, the space between objects is growing. The eventual fate of the Universe based on current models boils down to being alone in the dark, matter deteriorating to radiation doomed to travel a black, lifeless, ever-expanding cosmos.
As such, nothing you do will ever matter.

The specified XKCD was sent to me by a certain lady. My name is also Mike.
Oh yeah, red food colouring? Crushed beetles. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochineal]
And Canola Oil? Nope...Rapeseed oil [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canola]

If it helps any, I'm certain that I've loved people for who they are, not because other people liked them. Also, if you weren't really attracted to someone, would you care whether you were really attracted?CombiBlood said:
If these sound a little weak, it's because...
Fuck...I know right? It's all a lie.
