Like you’ve seen everything and now you can only experience things you’ve already experienced.
no but i feel like i’m being denied it.
Nope. Almost every day I learn something new.
The opposite. I’m afraid I will waste my life procrastinating, not even being aware of what it has to offer.
Not remotely. If you feel like you’ve seen everything, it might be time to consider a (literal) change of scenery. There are too many places to go, different people to meet and try to understand, books to read, flavors to taste. Seeing it online isn’t the same as seeing it in person with your own eyes. You could go a day’s walk in any direction and likely find something you haven’t seen before. You just have to be looking for it.
you haven’t sucked 4 dicks in a row
I don’t think I will. I’m boring in bed.
Not even close. Too many things to learn, too many things you can get good at, not enough time to do them all.
No. I’ve completed my personal bucket list though, so I’m never in a great rush to do things these days.
Yes and no. There’s always new ways to experience things. I just saw a great concert last night. I knew all the songs, but the presentation changed. People are always creating.
No. We’ve only scratched the surface of computer-aided collaboration. We could have a crowd thinking space with a consensus development environment, but instead progress has been opposed and we’re stuck with primitive wikis. My industry and career are standing still with extreme potential to improve humanity.

Quite the opposite. My two main hobbies are tabletop roleplaying and spending time in nature and both of those have an experience space that can’t be explored fully in one lifetime.
I’m often even confused when people seem to think they need to travel far to gain new experiences and I haven’t even fully explored the nature just outside of my apartment.
OP, just how wealthy are you? This is a very rich person assessment to make.
I make $700 a week at Amazon and $200 a week with DoorDash but I still don’t have my own apartment. On the plus side I have several months of expenses saved so I can take days off anytime (amazon is flexible as hell) but I really need to live alone where I can optimize my life for maximum peace and receive mail in my legal name. I really want (and need) to live in an apartment close enough to my warehouse that I can walk, bike, or ride public transit for less than 30 minutes. Preferably riding a bike or escooter in the early afternoon like whooooooosh
I’m not broke but I’m not ultra I Can’t See The Ground From My Window And My Dog Is My Alarm Clock rich. Not yet anyway, I will not stop trying to make money until I live in a multimillion dollar palace in the sky with like 10 bedrooms that are all mine, my animals’, and my husband’s.
Tl;dr I make $700 weekly and more if the stars align
You haven’t even bought a house.
Seen everything, my ass. You’re fucking bored, go do some shit.
Do what? All my hobbies feel like unpaid work and actual work feels like the last remotely fulfilling thing in my life.
Zen mind, Beginners mind
Is that any of that meditation nonsense that shit just backfires and makes me ruminate more
Sounds more like youre spinning wheels than experiencing life. Maybe you should try that. Go muddin, spin some wheels, hang out with your inner child, be your true self, buy some guns, overthrow the government, write a book about it and get laid in the garden.
i find life so unsatisfying that if, when i die, the afterlife has any resemblance AT ALL to this current reality, i am going to be fucking pissed.
like, any version of occupying a physical body in some sort of 3-dimensional space and surrounded by other physical beings is just, so… ugh.
i am over it.
Hood news. The afterlife is the same thing as the before life. Remember that? The 4 biillion odd years or so before you existed? Exactly.
Pre-universe non-existence: “Am I a joke to you?”
Get into folkloristics, it’s pretty fun. You can get into all the Slenderman stuff because it’s literally untapped mystery you can’t just rely on secondhand sources, all the research is centered on one controversy that somehow killed his popularity but not every other religion. My “job” (it’s a hobby) is basically having to read the hundreds of all the Slenderman blog ARGs ranging from 2009 to the present day, as well as all the freaking Slenderman and Creepypasta comics. It’s just interesting how religious patterns emerge out of something spontaneously created on the internet, like Zalgo vs Slenderman having parallels with every other religion with “divine rivalry”. Interesting anthropological subject.
Or you can read world history that isn’t just Eurocentric stuff. Hell, I bet most people don’t know European History in depth. You can even get into scholarly theology, from Christianity to Hinduism (which btw, is more of an umbrella term as it is composed of multiple religions). Read philosophies like Confucianism, which will help you understand a bit of Chinese culture.
Sounds like the dunning-kruger effect. You think you seen it all because you don’t know what you don’t know.
This post made me think it would be good if there was a community where people could post about “stuff to do”, eg join a local amateur soccer team, here is how leagues work, here is how you find a club to play for, can anyone play, are there min/max ages on teams, are teams split by gender, what is the social scene like, etc etc. Kind of like an AMA but focussed on things people can do if they need an activity/hobby/sport/place-to-meet-new-friends. There’s probably heaps of scenes I don’t even know about, or don’t know how to get involved in.
I think most in this thread are missing the point. It’s not really about specific knowledge, it’s about day to day existence and entertainment. The average person isn’t deep diving any topic, but nevertheless seeking the next dopamine hit becomes harder and harder and you’ve seen every core day to day thing by like age 20 which you must then rehash for another 60 years. I get the sentiment.

this is the wildest statement i’ve seen all month
the breadth and depth of the experiences that life has to offer is unfathomable. do not be so brazen to assume you have experienced even a tiny drop of vast ocean of what humans have actually lived through
From suicide in the trenches to the raising of a child; from gazing upon Earth from space to hunting a predator with a spear; from meditating in silence for weeks to leading a entire nation through a crisis; from winning a chess tournament to starting a business—and losing it all in a bankruptcy—existence is infinite, or may as well be.
think of it this way
there are 52 cards in a deck. that means every single deck has a specific order, right? what are the chances of you getting one specific order of cards if you shuffle? Well, how many different combinations are there? 52! ( ! means both factorial and emphasis here)
That’s 52 × 51 x 50 … all the way to × 2 × 1
That’s 8x10⁶⁷
That’s 8 with 67 zeros. Here
80000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
For reference… the number of seconds since the Big Bang is estimated to be about 4×10¹⁷
Now think of your life and human life in general. Think of all the variables. Hell, there are 7 days in a week. 52 weeks in a year. Coincidentally the same as a deck of cards.
If you do something different every week, there are going to be 8000000000… different ways your year could turn out.
So, please do not fall victim to this type of irrational thought. I’m not sure if it’s arrogance, depression, or something else leading to that delusion, but it’s a wild statement—absolutely nuts
Meaningfull differences? Who cares how many losing combination of cards you can randomize? There are only fifty-two cards and technically their are only 13 cards ace thru king. To me your argument translates to “look at that dead black kitten, you haven’t seen that yesterday it was a dead white kitten.” Lulz
i’m kind of lost on how to respond to this. we weren’t talking about games, the card analogy was to show that even with a relatively small set of starting conditions you can get to relatively absurd possibilities very quickly. it was to highlight the chaos theory that rules our lives.
the OP wasn’t about winning or losing anything, it was about “having experienced all life has to offer”. that would necessarily include both winning and losing combinations, no matter your subjective definition of “winning” or “losing”
and even having said all that and to follow your analogy- there are many games where drawing a face card (a-k) is a bad thing.
you ever play rummy? you want the least amount of points at the end of the round and face cards are worth more points.
you can make a straight flush with a 2 3 4 5 6 in poker, a face card can be enough to bust you in blackjack, etc.
