People don't look up. A friend always complains about some threat being over looked because the characters aren't looking up, but my experience has been that real people simply do not look up.

    This is true even with video games. Competitive PvP game advantages aside, I noticed my friends never looked up in Vermintide 2. I was raving about such high detail verticality and they remarked they'd never looked up on some of the maps.

    Reminded me of this video https://youtu.be/iKkpmCdf1Mo

    After about an hour of being strapped to the ceiling, he draws attention to himself on purpose.

    People forget vitally important details every day . You'd think that medicine you need in order to live, mandatory government hearings, gigantic family events would be impossible to forget but people do it all the time

    The pandemic convinced me that the majority of people would hide a zombie bite. A subset of that population would argue that zombie bites are good, actually, and actively lead zombies to populated areas.

    Ever notice how when there is a driving scene, many times the actions of the driver are not at all in relation to what the viewer is seeing of the highway/road.

    Yeah I see that all the time when driving.

    Terrifies me sometimes when you meet someone IRL who is basically actively or seeking to be a movie trope.

    And there are a lot of them. To the point it's refreshing to me to be around someone who just is themselves and does their won thing and isn't try to live up to an 'image' they saw on a TV screen. Worse now with social media and the influencer wannabes.

    Main Character Syndrome?

    I feel like Americans are the worst at this, because I feel we're the only modern society who truly feeds into that bullshit. America was brought up on television and it definitely came to a head when we elected a goddamn reality TV host as president the first time.

    pretty much. it's gotten really bad the past few years.

    and the people who are the worst are the ones who troll on and on about 'empathy' or whatever political cause they are into at the moment they use to shit on everyone else who isn't obsessing over it like they are.
