We have it.
We have it.
We have it.
I want to see this made into a 5 minute short.
I'll only watch a 5 second film of it.
50ms is about the limit of my attention span, take it or leave it
There's a theory that dreams serve as a sort of simulation mechanism for our brain to think through how to respond to various potential situations. It argues that is why natural disaster nightmares are so prevalent, and why our dreams are so weird (monkey brain does not understand modern society).
Anyways, good for them, I'm glad their brain figured out what to do about hypothetical McWeird.
So if a monster chases me in real life, instead of running I’ll crouch, grab the ground, and launch myself forward to get away (because I can’t run in dreams).
Sounds legit. The monster was probably expecting you to run, and ready to punish it like an elden ring boss punishes dodging backwards.
But in all seriousness, like any theory out of evolutionary psychology it's of very questionable utility insofar as it is unfalsifiable. I just find it fun to think about and mentally give my brain a "you tried" sticker after a weird dream.
If you have a good imagination and a strong application you can fly in dreams too. But i think only a specific few can fly or control their dreams.
Someone on reddit commented to the effect that dreams are our brain's combat simulators. Had just a touch of PTSD at the time and that really, really hit home.
Wow! Guess the commenter wasn't as original as I thought. Took a poke at finding the original and Gemini spit up a reference to threat simulation theory (TST), which turns out to be a real thing!
That's an interesting take. Simulation for dealing with life.
I saw the sign
I wonder if it opened up anon's eyes
Based and acepilled
holy shit if that's original you win the internet for today
Companies try so hard to make their marketing quirky and cool that the "We have it" campaign could totally happen IRL.
Had a dream last night that I wanted an iced coffee (i cant have caffiene IRL) and there was a Starbucks, but behind the Starbucks was a McDonald's (imagine one of those houses that has another house behind it situation).
I went to the McDonald's for the iced coffee because it would be cheaper, but I couldn't find it on their menu. They decided not to sell it at this particular location because they were in cahoots with the starbucks.
I wonder which voice he heard. The one we hear ourselves, or the one we hear in the recording of our voice.
I was gonna say, I don't think I would realize it's my own voice
He wasn't ready
Could be. Could be.
It's better than you could ever imagine but you'll forever feel empty afterward due to the eternal longing for it.
I screamed at the McDonald's part.

Sounds like something some company would have done in the 2000s. Not McDonald's, but...I'm getting a Sony vibe. It's something Sony's game division would have done.
Mmm yes very wise

Had a dream in college while napping that McDonalds was offering 200 chicken nuggets for $20. I frantically texted my friends that I was gonna take a nap and then we were gonna move on that before McDonalds realized what a deal that was. Then in my dream I walked home and got in bed before waking up for real. The disappointment that followed was possibly the biggest disappointment of my life.
You slept on it and ended up in the bad timeline.
