the sun literally sets and casts a golden hue over everything every single day and we fucked it all up and invented paying rent

This might be a weird one. My spouse had a dream that there was a new cover of “I Will Survive,” but instead of the title line, the chorus was “No Kill I,” and it was performed by a beautiful disco Horta.
I want to encourage more such dreams. Could you commemorate this vision for him?
this one was SO fun, absolutely do encourage more dreams from your spouse

The “bats can do calculus” thing is funny, because if you play around with synths for a while, you realize a lot of what humans perceive as “natural” sounds are just us directly perceiving certain complex mathematical things as big gestalt gestures. Like recognizing a multiplied wave as sounding like a woodwind. Hearing individual notes within a chord is basically Fourier analysis. Feeling how naturally a note decays is perceiving how linear or exponential the curve is. The fact that a sine wave sounds smooth but a sawtooth wave sounds nasally, and a square wave has a certain hollow fuzz to it. Is someone doing “math” there? Once you get the flavor of what each of those qualities are like, listening to the world becomes like directly perceiving math. Also, listening to birds becomes very strange. Because you realize some goofy easy weird sound you can squelch out of an analog synth is the same thing a bird is doing. Then sometimes they make a sound you can’t make. What kind of math is that bird on? Makes you wonder.
