Didn't expect this series to come back, but oh boy am I glad it's back

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit Wisdom is knowing that it doesn’t belong on a fruit salad Philosophy I wondering if ketchup is a smoothie Common sense is knowing that ketchup isn’t a smoothie

(Apologies for length. Just thorough with my thoughts.) I've been an insomniac that has vivid lucid dreams pretty much every time I sleep ever since I was around twelve years old (I'm 35). My first lucid dream was a crash course in how I could feel everything, I was aware and could control myself, and I had no control over anything else. I was tied down to a stone slab and vivisected by a group of strange people under a purple clouded sky. The hollow feeling of my organs being removed is cemented in my memory. I woke up crying and screaming into my pillow. I've died so many ways, nothing surprises me anymore. I've lived in places different than here with dreams lasting for days, weeks, months, some even a few years in sleep time. I wake up and see that I've only slept for 10-20 minutes. Time skips sometimes and memories flood to fill the gaps, only to fade away over time after waking until something kicks-off a memory recall and I'm hit with nostalgia. I miss a lot of them and wish I could revisit. I get they're just dreams, but it hits the feels when I see someone that looks exactly like a person I knew in one, knowing it's not them and never will be. It's like having loved ones, friends, family, that pass away, and every once in a while you see someone that resembles them enough that a moment of excitement jolts through you, but then you remember and it sinks. My thousands of little lives lived in 23 years. I feel so damn old. If there was an afterlife, I'd want to be able to jump between them and relive each properly as its own pocket universe. That would be the happiest thing for me.

Insanely perfect opening line. Kudos

I've died in dreams before and not woken up. Usually what happens is that I just go to a new dream. One particular one I remember was that I was in a subway station I've never been to. It was open but not too busy. I was chasing a bad guy, I found him running up the stairs, so I chased him and the guy pulls a gun and shoots me in the head point blank. I "wake up" in my dream. I'm in the same station, but this time it's closed and all the lights are off. It's also dusty and musky, like an "upside down" version of it. But somehow I knew I was in the same station, but I was sent back 3 days in time to try again, and this time, I was given the powers of Thor. I did wake up for real though before I could continue my search. Another time I died was simpler. I fell off a cliff, hit the bottom, lights out. Immediately a new unrelated dream began. I remembered both when I woke up, but I now only have a hazy recollection of them. I will say this. One of my favorite dreams was that I was in a small town but not as a person, rather as a disembodied entity, I had no control or say on anything, but the small town police had just solved a crime, and the entire town was happy, the end, and I even got closing credits with a nice 70's style ballad (Think the Taxi theme). That dream got full closure before I woke up, it was amazing.

The fact that we argue more with our loved one than with strangers almost sounds like: traitors don't come from your enemy, traitors come from your ally. 😯

I can’t begin to explain the joy I felt when I saw that Aperture released a new showers thoughts video. This is my favourite series that he has made by far, and I’ve been waiting for another video for so long.

"You place a dead animal, plants and spices into a cauldron while following the instructions from a book written by old people". Did anyone else hear that. 🧐. Wicked!! 🔥

5:36 naming your kid leg or spine would be like naming your dog leg or spine

“Your adult relationship with your parents is their performance review”… that hit different.

I actually had a lucid dream two nights ago where jj (ksi) was in my living room just dancing being him telling me two take a video of him and post it on my socials for fame. I tried taking the video of him three times and in my dream even look thru my phone to find the videos i just took but couldn't find it.. A lot else happened but yeah i had my phone with me

Plot twist: he hasn’t taken a shower in 8 months

Welp, guess it's time to ponder these questions for hours again. Great video though, love it

Let's just agree shower thoughts are the best part of this channel! We need so much more of these in this year;)

It's back!!

Regarding dreams: I have the same experience every time I sleep in a cold room. I am always trying to, or in the process of, buying the dr-ug mephedrone, aka bath salts. It's strange because I have not even been around the substance for over a decade, during which I've had far more potent addictions (thankfully clean now), but those never appear. And I don't dream about mephedrone in temps above 70°. There is always a woman in it, but the specific events change every time.

Perfect head turn rate😂

On my way back from school, I ran into a dog harassing a cat. I put the dog after me to leave the cat alone, and we started running and playing together on the grass. You can't bond with a human in such a short time, but you can with dogs.

I had a lucid dream the other night where I moved into a new neighborhood* with people I'd never met before. I became good friends with one of them (I recognized him as someone from the summer camp I went to this year) and I felt like I had friends for the first time in over 4 years. Once I became lucid, we had a good conversation where I floated on some stick I found near his house, but when he left, I flew upwards to get a better vantage point of the area... and the dream faded away. So long, friend. *The physical description of the neighborhood: WinCo + Hacksmith Industries + a community park + a futuristic school + Starbucks. And all of it was located in one of my old bedrooms from 6 years ago.

This was an interesting take on a lot of things. Thumbs up!

“Why is it socially acceptable and cute to name your cat Whiskers or your dog Spot but you can’t name your kid leg” Caught me off guard so hard that I almost cut my hand

Man you should take showers 🚿 every week or atleast every month. Make more of shower thought videos. As always great videos.

The reason why we don't see smartphones in our dreams is because when we're using it, we're not thinking about the smartphone, we're thinking about the person or material we're interacting with and not thinking about the gadget itself its pretty obvious. On the other hand we tend to see a smartphone or gadget in our dream when we get it as a gift or find it or something that makes us actively think about the device itself. Dreams are philosophical, poetic and almost never practical.

Could you do a video, where you explain how you come up with your ideas? Would be extremely interesting what your creative process looks like!

The thumbnail is explainable. Our body evolved so as to help us with one eye closed. When we close one eye, the brain shuts off its sensors for that eye completely, meaning that it doesn't acknowledge the black space either, fully focusing our vision in the open eye. When we close both eyes, the brain turns off the sensors for both eyes, leading to blindness.

10:02 I have had something like this for way too long, im gonna share it here So the ocean is soup, it has meat, water, veggies, and salt, Cereal is techically a soup, as a soup is a liquid dish that comes from animals, that usually has chunks in it, Nacho chips are usually corn based, and cheese is milk based, making Nachos a cereal, making them a soup, if A=B and C=B then that means that the Ocean is Nachos

I just love how relaxing you are able to make your videos

4:48 English used to have letters we no longer use, such as thorn (þ), eth (ð), eng (ŋ), wynn (ƿ), yogh (ȝ), ash (æ), and ethel (œ), so not everything written in English used only the 26 characters of the modern alphabet. You could say Ben Franklin had a precedent for removing hard to pronounce letters from the alphabet.

it’s great to see this series come back. amazing video as always! keep up the good work mate

Thank You!!! I've been waiting on another shower thoughts for a while now!

Love this series, hope he makes more of them!

"As a Child growing up with a family, the probability that your parents wanted and were expecting you is the Highest if you were adopted." C L E A N !

Funny you mentioned we don't dream about or atleast remember dreams about phones but, although I don't have a phone I have a computer and half of the dreams I remember involve me doing various activities on my computer like playing games watching stuff or talking to people.

nothing more relaxing than chuckling to shower thoughts while taking sips of coffee

Us: How many shower thoughts videos are you going to upload? Aperture: *Y E S*

Death in dreams for me is like a vidoe game I eventually “spawn” back or view someone else, I have seen my smart phone in dreams as well usually to send a text

One of the best early Christmas gifts I've gotten! Missed this series!

I LOVE THIS SERIES IT MAKES ME SEEM INTERESTING AT THE HOLIDAY DINNER TABLE THAT IS ALL

5:18 I like how right after talking about the toughness and softness of the letter c, you said coffee aggressively and chill, softly

"You're eating the wing of a bird who couldn't escape us" 🤣🤣🤣🤣That was unexpectedly dark. I'm even more ashamed of how hard I evil laughed at the idea. The Vegan Teacher is probably going to jump my ass😹😹

One of the best Christmas presents ever :D

Love the shower thoughts! Thank you as always for your hard work & content! XX

the comeback we all didn't expect but loves

Finally they're back!

what you said about time travel, really got me motivated. thank you

Yeah baby that's what I been waiting for

I've died before in a dream and not woken up, just became a ghost wandering the earth. It was the whole premise of the dream.

Thanks for these shower thoughts

The series that made me hit subscribe 💪🏾

Aaaaaa this series is the whole reason I found this channel, I’m so happy it’s back

his calming voice made me not notice the ad till i checked the description

5:46 Teeth are actually not part of the skeleton. They are what is called an ectodermal organ, or an organ that functions outside the body such as hair, (external) skin, salivary glands, and sweat glands, (I’m pretty sure fingernails as well). This misconception comes from that fact that both bone and teeth are white, hard, and have calcium. Instead of an external bone, teeth are just white chomping organs.

Not to necessarily live in the moment, but to treat every moment like it’ll be your last time.

My favorite series on KZfaq

I’d like to see a video about why we are human. Why did we conveniently grow hair on our heads, and why didn’t we just become bald. It makes me wonder what other things humans could’ve had that we don’t. What stops animals from evolving and becoming as smart as humans. Why don’t other animals have hair just on their heads?

I actually often have a smart phone on me in my dreams, which is odd because I really don't spend much time playing with mine in waking life. I'll turn the thing off for days at a time if circumstances permit. It's a total nightmare to try to operate one in a dream though. Forget light switches or reading or throwing a punch with noodle arms - smart phones are the devil in dreams. What works better than trying to navigate the screen is to use voice command. The input and output is far easier for your brain to parse than simulating a visual interface that actually works. Results, of course, vary wildly, but every so often I can get someone on the horn, which is a novel experience since 9 times out of 10 it results in you teleporting to where that person is.

aperture the GOAT! love your content g!

I missed these videos. I feel like it is a good thing that you took a while to make a "shower thoughts" video, because if you make too many in a short space of time they could lose their value.

Dreams , i think are like, different conclusions our brain comes up to by calculating all our actions + our desires amd fears included. While awake, all our senses are on work and we aren't good at multitasking and hence we don't think much of it when awake. But when we are sleeping, our mind is alert and can focus on one activity without any interruptions. Probably that's why we get more than 10 dreams everynight (who knows how many, since we can barely remember even 2-3 precisely). Well, that's what i think atleast it could be...

“You can’t name your kid leg, spine or freckle.” The hell I can’t!

Yeah its back!!

Wow I’m so glad to see another shower thoughts video. Bro your voice is so soothing

Yes shower thought is back

You should make a video on how to make 6figures profit monthly cos I've been reading about investors making up to $380K in 2months from $150K and I'd really love to know how to outperform the market and make such substantial profit.

A pizza isn't a sandwich; a sandwich requires two pieces of bread with something in the middle, but pizza only has one side with breading

I missed the shower thoughts videos, hope to see more of these again

ITS BACK

0:46 I once died in a dream and was reincarnated into a different body, and I was happy I could remember my old life. Also the smartphones one; most of the time we see things in the smartphone and not the actual phone so the brain makes dreams from the things we see in the smartphone

7:45 The one I grew up with still owns Gordon a beer.

I always feel like dreams are a reflection of your life sometimes or if you die you just wake up in a new life etc. What I don’t understand is why we have long confusing dreams filled with a mission of sort and anxiety.

Love this. Been a while. Makes me still searching for the one just to pray with and do God's will while looking at the review of my hard work (my children)

Shower thoughts videos are the reason i subbed to your channel..very happy you brought it back...❤️❤️

I recently had a dream about the iPhone 15 ultra, one about owning an iPhone 11 and another about the 3rd gen airpods in the last month, so yeah

I actually had a dream that continued post death. I fell from a tree and realised "this is it, the end of a dream" I hit the ground with a loud CRACK I did not wake up There was no black No end I lay there, my spine broken and brain spilling put my skull... Yet I was there No pain Just... Existence I was trapped in a limp corpse I stayed like that for 5+ minutes Then finally woke up

I thought, I got deva ju with the thumbnail… well my boy is back!

SHOWER THOUGHTS ARE BACK LEETTTTSSSS GOOOOOO

This year I’ve actually been seeing my smartphone in my dream. I’ve even been seeing my reflection. It feels so weird every time.

I was praying for this

Blessing us with this series update 😊

Being in the moment, or what is called Mindfulness and Presence takes practice. Your analysis is proof your mind is conditioned to stimulus, like basically everyone else. Thoughts can be conditioned, when that happens, it becomes very difficult to observe your thoughts without being them and it takes monumental practice to be able to break from this way of thinking.

4:07- We live ever so slightly in the future about 50-80 milliseconds in the future

2:20, I always liked to say, time travel is real, as you are literally travelling to the future right now, it's just a bit slow.

That is a lot of comparisons directly related to my map and background♾️

I once had someone told me that a person that cannot see/completely blind does not see black or darkness. They see nothing. And the closest way to imagine this is to close one eye and try seeing from that closed eye. That’s apparently the closest way we can experience total blindness from birth. The concept is also kinda similar to colorblindness. And it’s been keeping me up at times.

Barney's been them all for me.

I loved The Barney metaphor. Nice!!!!

My favourite series❤please bring back shower thoughts

I clicked on it because i thought that it will be an meme video 😭😭💀

After over a year, the legendary series has returned

This was the best Christmas gift

I'm glad this is back 😭😭

Shower Thoughts!! Yes! Just yes! - Amen!

Someone in your friends group will have no friends at his funeral This one got me

Shower thought: when you view a lot of objects around you in random quick succession, your gaze jumps but your eye ball only swivels.

I love how high quality your videos are man, both in content and visually, i wish you a good 2023 keep up the good work

Thank you, truly.

Shower thoughts are the best series on this channel. Your videos are well put together. Keep it up!

2:15 Aye im not the only one who has thought of this

Alcohol stimulates you (at least for a while) due an effect called paradoxical disinhibition PDI, in which some neurons are stimulated by neurons which are inhibited by other ones, the later being inhibited results in the overstimulation of the middle ones resulting in stimulation of the many pathways, but then the entire system is inhibited by many different pathways resulting the depression that comes a while after alcohol consumption.
