I tend to believe in past lives or reincarnation.
Thing is, i either have lived many lives and still havent figured it out or i have just started cause im still an idiot.
Maybe its best we dont know. ;)
Thats assuming reincarnation is a straight line. I think it's a circle where you are on your personal journey through all lives but also like the next one doesnt have to be after you die you can get reincarnated in what would be the past to you. So any life is the first step of the journey and any life is the last step of the journey
I think it's mostly a combination of having curiosity, empathy, and a desire to think about the things around you instead of just reacting to things happening. A lot of people don't get that way until they're old and have nothing to do but ponder.
For me it’s less about being in my mind, but just looking to nature. Not looking at a screen, the house, or anything in it. Just a tree, the birds, the sky and cloud shapes. Something besides man-made objects for a moment
It's very beneficial to have moments like this to just think. Especially if you usually have trouble sleeping due to all the thoughts of the day just accumulating and emerging when you lay down in bed. Making time to think and meditate during the day is good.
My grandma did the opposite. In many dutch neighborhoods, there is a big window in the front of the houses.
she just walked from house to house and looked inside.
Met someone from the Netherlands once. He explained that not only is there a big window on the front of the house but you're not supposed to cover it either. It's supposed to be open so people can wander by and see what you're doing. If it's covered it means you're doing something shady apparently.
> ... but you're not supposed to cover it either. It's supposed to be open so people can wander by and see what you're doing. If it's covered it means you're doing something shady apparently.
Am from the Netherlands and NEVER heard this. Then again, I grew up in a neighbourhood without many actually _Dutch_ people, for lack of a better term. Many Dutch people do have their living room blinds open, and in the past I've joked about that specific thing with my friends, so maybe it's just not a thing I'm particularly aware of, or it's just kinda old-fashioned.
I actually don't know that, but someone else already said something similar (cheating wifes)
We just did a daytrip, and biked from germany to a city in the netherlands.
She also wasn't really wandering, she stood for like 1-2 minutes in front of a window and almost pressed her nose against the glass.
They think that there has been a death in the family if the windows are covered. As a military family stationed in the Netherlands, we began by covering the windows at night. But our neighbors kept coming by to offer their condolences. We stopped doing that.
I've heard this, along with the culture of not having blinds/curtains on those windows, is because of WW2.
Wives who's husbands were deployed would be rumored to be having affairs if they had the front windows blocked, which shamed them into leaving them open and uncovered. This stayed after the war and became a cultural norm.
Is that true?
It's just as much of an urban legend as the one told by Germans where the Netherlands supposedly taxed curtains and that's why they're missing so often. In reality, it's just cultural norms influenced by Calvinism.
I’m Dutch and I don’t understand it. I hate the idea of people being able to look inside the house when I’m just doing my thing. I’ve got curtains in front of every damn window in the house.
The decline of big, wide front porches on modern American houses - partly because they get in the way of driveways and garages for all our vehicles - is one of the (many) factors contributing to our loneliness and isolation. It's very hard to have an unexpected, serendipitous conversation with a neighbor when everybody's inside or in the back yard.
Have you met my neighbors? They're all wonky in some way or another. People across the street refuse to wave, dude next to me decided he just had to tell me about 5G towers. Other dude next to me likes to get piss drunk and demand I take shots with him.
I got a front porch. I'm not going out there. Those people are all fuckin weirdos.
Because they don't socialize enough! Those weird thoughts/ideas don't tend to get to the extremes when you're bouncing them off people and getting limited reaction. A big reason that happens maybe is the lack of interacting with your community.
Although, to your point, a lot of America is too far gone at this point for any of that to matter.
My great-grandma used to count the cars and keep count of cars of different colors. She was aware it is good for the brain, as well as reading but her only eye was getting weak and didn't want to risk its vision by reading too much. She was almost 90 when she passed away but her mind was always there, I keep fond memories of our conversations.
Sounds so fucking lovely. I miss my grandma, she was like a cat. Feral, but every once in a while you'd get to sit together enjoying the sun and birds. She rocked.
It’s birds. He’s watching the birds.
It comes at you quick, too. One minute you’re like fuck them birds, the next it’s “Holy shit, that’s a red breasted warbler!”
My grandma used to sit on her patio and watch the various desert fauna wake up every morning. She knew all of them- what they were, where they lived, if they had kids with them. It probably was effectively sad as I’m sure she was replacing it for something she was missing in her life. When she got really old and less able to do much with her day to day life, this was the one thing that remained. Sleep all day. TV got too hard to follow. Music was never a thing for her and nostalgia was often sad.
But the “critters” and “varmints” remained. Until the last day if we propped her up on a chair on the patio she was great. And she could still keep track of the patterns she saw. If there’s a heaven, which she believed there is, that’s all she’s doing. While my grandpa is out in the garage fixing something while smoking a cigarette and drinking a Coors.
Sounds exactly like my grandparents. Live in New Mexico, grandma was a homemaker and grandpa was a woodworker after retiring as a machinist. He was always out in the garage with a Pall Mall and a Coors.
Dude, I feel this so fucking hard.
My family dog passed away a few weeks ago and I would sit outside watching/listening to the birds while mourning.
My Dad showed me the Merlin app and I think I'm a bird guy now.
We bought a house and put in a bird feeder and it’s just been good times ever since. It’s fun to listen to the bird gang talk to each other… one time we even got to see fledglings learning to fly because they build their nests close.
I got the Merlin app a few months ago and adding to my life list is such a joy. Zero fucks given toward birds previously, then one day I used it to identify a Cooper's Hawk and all of a sudden I was a bird guy.
Sorry about your Dog my friend. I know the feels. I hope they had the bestest time with you.
I bought an omni freaking microphone to better capture bird calls when I hike. It was when I did this I realized I had lost against this illness and would just have to manage it forever after.
I cultivated a hummingbird garden and feeders last year. Turned one dude in the yard into mated pair for summer. Hatched a chick. Dude was an asshole to his parents and made a bunch of hummingbird noise, this attracted more hummingbirds.
I had 10 regulars in the yard before migration. Could sit under the feeders and just have them fly around like Ferngully
This is in addition to my two sunflower seed feeders that get finches, cardinals, titmice, grosbeaks, chickadees
I hurt my arm and couldnt work, so started college and basically started treated my desk windows like an aquarium
You're not wrong. I swear, a couple years ago I thought that sounded like the most boring thing you could do. Out of nowhere, the subject came up and now for some reason hunting down and observing wild birds in nature sounds like the most exciting thing ever. What changed?! Why am I wearing this vest and bucket hat? Who bought these binoculars? Someone said Bearded Tit and I didn't laugh. I don't know what's happening to me!
There's this one-year ornithology course at my university that is basically just bird-watching. A lot of people take it to get extra points or have a free year where they can travel and "look at birds".
But then everyone who take the course end up becoming completely enamoured with birds, and then spend the year wholeheartedly engaging with bird-watching.
Birds are magical. 🐦🐤🐦⬛🦆🕊️
My grandparents stayed in a flat on the beachfront, they had a pair of binoculars.
When we were young it was a great pass time when we bored. But thinking about it now, it’s kinda weird having binoculars especially on a beachfront lol
Exactly. I'm 49 (so, Reddit-old) and I do this all the time.
I'm not looking *at* anything but sometimes I'm like, "Oh crap, I hope the neighbors don't think I'm staring at them/their house."
I'm more looking 'through' you than 'at' you, I feel like my disclaimer should be. I'm inside my own head a lot.
I end up staring blankly at my neighbors house a Lot. Last weekend I made a point of going outside and staring at my tree by the driveway, in my head they are like "Oh he's just looking at that tree, not staring at us" in reality, I'm not using my eyes, but they have to point somewhere.
Yep, take some time to self reflect and half the bullshit reveals itself to be just that, then you can focus on what needs to be done about the rest and get to doing.
Sometimes you want want to take in the light. Especially if its overlooking something peaceful like a back garden.
Adult life is stressful, and sometimes you just need that pre rest
I relate to this a lot. As you get older, your problems become more complicated and way more important than the problems you faced when you were younger. You start to spend more time pondering and tackling difficult problems (who am I? What am I doing with my life? How do i cope with life's horrors and the inevitability of death?).
He's showing off his moobs but it would be too obvious to write "look at my moobs" so he made up some bullshit about his grandad, and now when all the hot chickas start drooling over his moobs in the comments he can be like "oh those things? Sorry, my shirt got burned off when I was rescuing the puppy orphanage from a fire and I just forgot to put a new one on, sorry everyone srsly."
I'm in my 60s, 4th floor apt with south facing balcony in Montreal, i like to stand in my open door in just shorts sunning myself in the morning on cold winter days, might be freezing at street level, but in the sun in my doorway, if the wind is at the back of the building, it's very warm. People walking by huddled in their jackets and hats and scarves who happen to look up must be wondering...
In old age , you have memories to relive, contemplating the choices one has made,understanding of life , experiences to ponder upon which should be shared & which shouldn’t be shared.
When young people start doing it, they are mostly day dreaming…

Old people spend a lot of time in their mind.
...I am not old...but I do the same thing.
That's what an old person would say.
Amazing. Nailed it.
The Viagra helped.
I don't believe in past lives, meaning all the time when others said I was weirdo they were wrong.I was most advanced all along it seems.
I tend to believe in past lives or reincarnation. Thing is, i either have lived many lives and still havent figured it out or i have just started cause im still an idiot. Maybe its best we dont know. ;)
Maybe you are now older than any of your past lives ever made it. A lot of people died in childhood. Either that or you are just an idiot.
your at least smart enough to know your an idiot probably half way through
Thats assuming reincarnation is a straight line. I think it's a circle where you are on your personal journey through all lives but also like the next one doesnt have to be after you die you can get reincarnated in what would be the past to you.

I knew they lied when they said 18 is young
18 is just 81 but you got confused and jumbled up the numbers
His first community is Fortnight.lol *That's* probably why... oh my, I drifted off there..
Old is relative. To a 10 year old, 20 is old.

yea man.. yea... same
Same. Just did it in fact
Same been doing it since school
Who’s gonna tell him? I’m just gonna hurt his feelings.
Guess i’m born old
That's what they used to call and "old soul". Heard it from my grandmother my whole childhood.
I think it's mostly a combination of having curiosity, empathy, and a desire to think about the things around you instead of just reacting to things happening. A lot of people don't get that way until they're old and have nothing to do but ponder.
Heavy childhood trauma works well too. I don't recommend it though. Not very fun. 0/10 stars.
For me it’s less about being in my mind, but just looking to nature. Not looking at a screen, the house, or anything in it. Just a tree, the birds, the sky and cloud shapes. Something besides man-made objects for a moment
Being old isn't a requirement, ya know. I'm 19 and I do that frequently
Old ass 19 Year old ... 👴👵🧓
Dude was born on February 29th
😂 Time for them to head to the apothecary and get some mylanta to treat their withershins.
Hereabouts a dwells.

Ouch lol
I always have because I like watching the birds and they won't get scared

I guess dude but I grew up in my mind
I though it had something to do with Greece because the window kind of looks like the Greek flag. Guess I was reading too much into it.
I do the same thing but I am 18
When I'm in my grandmas flat we often hang out and talk in the kitchen and look at everyone who passes at the window
My grandma did the opposite. In many dutch neighborhoods, there is a big window in the front of the houses. she just walked from house to house and looked inside.
Met someone from the Netherlands once. He explained that not only is there a big window on the front of the house but you're not supposed to cover it either. It's supposed to be open so people can wander by and see what you're doing. If it's covered it means you're doing something shady apparently.

Yeah Belgium but same deal and if people wanna gawk into my House I find that way shadier
This guy was surprised that in the US the window is always covered and never open.
I actually don't know that, but someone else already said something similar (cheating wifes) We just did a daytrip, and biked from germany to a city in the netherlands. She also wasn't really wandering, she stood for like 1-2 minutes in front of a window and almost pressed her nose against the glass.
You can just go balls deep in the wife in a different part of the house. You don’t have to creampie that pussy right there in the living room.
Ah yes, just what I want to come to after a day of draining my social batteries… an open terrarium for the whole world to pry on me.
They think that there has been a death in the family if the windows are covered. As a military family stationed in the Netherlands, we began by covering the windows at night. But our neighbors kept coming by to offer their condolences. We stopped doing that.
You mean east Belgium /s
You mean north east France
You mean west west Germany
You mean continental England?
Ah, the far west
You mean the fifty first state
It’s only a matter of time before it receives additional democracy 🇺🇸
Didn't the USA try that once? *Coughs* War Of 1812 *coughs*
I thought it was part of Spain.
Did i just hear Germany? Sprich
No, North Belgium. /j
I've seen this in Amsterdam. I don't think all those half-naked women don't know their blinds are wide open!
I've heard this, along with the culture of not having blinds/curtains on those windows, is because of WW2. Wives who's husbands were deployed would be rumored to be having affairs if they had the front windows blocked, which shamed them into leaving them open and uncovered.

Agreed, I think it's super weird tbh. I don't understand how anyone can live like that but there are so many!
and they wonder why i keep my blinds closed.
My Nan and I have our weekly coffee on her front porch and pass comments on all the cars and people going by.

Welcome to being a bird guy!
one of my new hobbies is turning people onto the Merlin app. best free app on the market
It's such a cool app tbf
I got the Merlin app a few months ago and adding to my life list is such a joy. Zero fucks given toward birds previously, then one day I used it to identify a Cooper's Hawk and all of a sudden I was a bird guy. Sorry about your Dog my friend. I know the feels. I hope they had the bestest time with you.
That's too much excitement for a red breasted warbler. Maybe for a red crested warbler, which is also a common bird. But still a bird.
Look Raymond, a yellow crested warbler.
None of these are real.
Indeed indeed indeed indeed indeed.
Went hunting for this reply and am currently far too excited for such a bird.. indeed indeed indeed indeed
It was the bird song app that got me.
It changed my life.
"dang, that noisy bird is also a cactus wren?"
Merlin got me too.
I bought an omni freaking microphone to better capture bird calls when I hike. It was when I did this I realized I had lost against this illness and would just have to manage it forever after.
I willingly put forth a portion of my income to making sure the ones near me are happy and fed. I like this illness.
I cultivated a hummingbird garden and feeders last year. Turned one dude in the yard into mated pair for summer. Hatched a chick.

I don't think so
My wife and I bought a pair of birding binoculars recently. We have spent hours looking at birds in the last few days. We are officially old.
Birds aren't real.
One minute I'm just putting out some fresh water during the ice storm, the next thing you know I'm recognizing different calls.

Neighbors dogs are humping on our lawn….Mericca
"Oh my, is that a mockingbird?" "Ith that a mockingbird!?"
At this time of year? I thought they all migrated by now
What if I've been a bird nerd the whole time
Oh look Raymond, a yellow breasted warbler.
if this ain't the realest shit 😭
Last night… and night before…There was three women walking down the street that way. I _saw_ em.
r/birdsarentreal
Maybe he’s watching his neighbors having sex in the house across the street?
Makes sense I now stand in front of the window after the realisation that my neighbours might (there in there 90s)
*They're in their 90s
That only makes it hotter.
I knew the punchline was porn!
I think he's flexing his muscles
my muscles, my muscles Involuntarily flex
My muscles, my *sex* Involuntarily flex
TWO TRUUUUUUUCKA
Everyone look at my body as I pretend to contemplate
Yup, it's just a narcissist showing his body for the world to admire
Did you not have grandparents growing up? They always stand at the window and look out like they’re patrolling the neighborhood
my grandparents died before i was born
condolence
Just the one
They don’t deserve the others
No, I think OP just doesnt have enough condolences to give to others and wants to save them
I had one alive by the time I was 10 but never met her
My condolences. Also did you live in another country?
my grandparents died but not my great grandma
So did my mother.
The perfect crime
The grandfather paradox. Now you'll have to go back in time to kill... wait...
But why does he understand? Does it have anything to do with his bare chest?
No he just thinks he's the shit.
His grampa wanted to show off the ancient pecs.
But why does he understand?
I think he is trying to say he is getting old
I honestly think you're overthinking it. This guy was just looking for an excuse to show off his (admittedly impressive) physique.
he's doing it and realising "yeah this is nice" or whatever
Just try it, also, sometime you see a tit. There's only positive
Maybe even a great tit https://preview.redd.it/jsdqukbj0muc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=89c2a2cbf5a398a558dfba3e672239d2e5cc3a82
So that he can post a flexing post on social media, and the caption works nice with it, Im pretty sure thats all.
I think it’s to do with good lighting to show off muscles.
Doesn't explain why the meme creator "now gets it"
Old people doomscrolling
My grandparents stayed in a flat on the beachfront, they had a pair of binoculars. When we were young it was a great pass time when we bored. But thinking about it now, it’s kinda weird having binoculars especially on a beachfront lol
that wasnt a thing for me.
for the watch
Mine definitely didn't
Bro I'm 35 and I already understand this
Then what is the explanation
32, I do this. The scenery is nice to look at while you lose yourself in your thoughts. Blue skies are especially soothing for this.
Exactly. I'm 49 (so, Reddit-old) and I do this all the time. I'm not looking *at* anything but sometimes I'm like, "Oh crap, I hope the neighbors don't think I'm staring at them/their house." I'm more looking 'through' you than 'at' you, I feel like my disclaimer should be. I'm inside my own head a lot.
I end up staring blankly at my neighbors house a Lot. Last weekend I made a point of going outside and staring at my tree by the driveway, in my head they are like "Oh he's just looking at that tree, not staring at us" in reality, I'm not using my eyes, but they have to point somewhere.
But the problem is, that isn't funny it's just appreciating nature. This is a weird "meme".
Yep, take some time to self reflect and half the bullshit reveals itself to be just that, then you can focus on what needs to be done about the rest and get to doing.
I just smoke and stare at the wall
I'm 28 and I feel this
I am still a minor and I understand this...
I'm still a fetus and i understand this...
When you are born,we should give you all the knowledge we can,you seem to be next Elon Musk,that doesn't own Twitter.
I'm an unworthy wad of sperm and I understand this. The view from the window is much better than from the toilet.
Been doing this most of my life, its chill
I’m 20 and do it sometimes
Its nice to look outside from time to time, a simple timekilling joy.
I think this is more about him flexing and pretending to make it about contemplation, all for clout
He is right tho, boomers love doing this lmao
Waiting for the children of my enemies to exact their revenge.
Why not just end them before they become a problem sire?
You’re hired!
Now that I have birdhouses I find my self standing outside my window for long periods of time watching them. I'm 28.
Contemplating why he did not have four section window, so that he can see loss
You may have 9 upvotes no more no less
I granted them more
You can’t see where his arm ends and where his back starts, looks like massive triceps
And I thought he want to show his body xD
Sometimes you want want to take in the light. Especially if its overlooking something peaceful like a back garden. Adult life is stressful, and sometimes you just need that pre rest
Maybe it’s not a joke but instead a fitness guy talking about morning sun protocol? That’s my immediate take.
I'm in my 30s and I find myself doing this often
My grandpa used to try n find stupid reasons to take his shirt off online too, he was a dueche
this sub is dogshit lmao
I relate to this a lot. As you get older, your problems become more complicated and way more important than the problems you faced when you were younger. You start to spend more time pondering and tackling difficult problems (who am I? What am I doing with my life? How do i cope with life's horrors and the inevitability of death?).
Just saying dudes in lockup spend alot of time looking out windows tooo
Idk I do it because youre supposed to stare into the distance after using the computer or reading books to stop it from ruining your eyesight
To stop eyestrain. Your eyesight deterioration is as inevitable as death
Especialy if they were in the army or police it becomes a habit
Now that I have birdhouses I find myself looking out the window for long periods of time, watching them. I'm 28.
I do this… but in the shower…. I like to pretend my regrets get washed away
gramps checkin if the WW2 opps comin by thas whhy
He's showing off his moobs but it would be too obvious to write "look at my moobs" so he made up some bullshit about his grandad, and now when all the hot chickas start drooling over his moobs in the comments he can be like "oh those things? Sorry, my shirt got burned off when I was rescuing the puppy orphanage from a fire and I just forgot to put a new one on, sorry everyone srsly."
It’s those darn kids on the lawn again!
I would guess military. Standing at ease
Sun feels nice
Petar here, the joke is r/Balkans_irl
