How's this for a freaky dream … maybe it's an MK Ultra dream (hopefully that's tongue in cheek) … you can post on a very specifically narrow range of topic in 8Chan and it will skew your sense of time. It's not a minor thing when this happens. Most would literally short circuit. Genetically, humans are capable of passing through the 9 month incubation period far faster, but that's the minimum amount of time required for the general population just to acclimate to physical reality enough to come out of the womb. The same holds true for the infancy / toddler stages. We are still acclimating mentally to physical reality and the process is that demanding on mental faculties. Consider how fast most kids go through puberty. We could zip through the infancy and/or toddler stages exponentially faster than we do. It's all about the acclimation period. "Passing time" as we perceive it is apparently a super difficult thing to wrap our minds around and this physical arena has to be entered very, very slowly so we can adjust and adapt mentally.
It was one of those dreams where I was watching somebody else go through the hell of having inadvertently slipped a gear or something and he came detached from the "carrier wave," leaving him free floating. Even if only for a moment, it fried his mind completely. Then it was me going through it and I was able to hang on but only just barely. It wasn't pleasant.
Maybe it was all metaphorical and it really just meant that newfags should lurk for at least 9 months before even attempting to post anything.
