I wonder why this video didn't get more views!
It really works. I can now multiply any number between 11 and 19 quickly in my head. I wish if there was someone here now in real life to let them ask me and I answer quickly without telling them the trick, so I can impress them lol

Thanks for this!

Basketball cout
Tennis coat
Football field
Baseball field

I wonder what makes a court a court? It can't just be because it is inside because many basketball courts are inside too. I wonder if it has anything to do with what it is make of? Because it is hard makes it a court? There is clay tennis courts and grass, and other types.... I used to play indoor soccer but never called it a soccer court..... I wonder what makes them eligible to be called a court or a field?

I am wondering how firearms came to come under the same department umbrella as alcohol and tobacco. I'm sure that I could research history. But that's my wonderment of today. I have a hunch it occurred in the early 1900's.

I wonder if one can lessen depression a little by reminiscing. It isn't that my life was happy in the past, but sometimes I get some unknowns flashbacks from the past at a very very early age, and I don't know why that makes me very happy. The thing is I can't control that , I mean I can't consciously remember that when I want to, because it's not exactly memories. It's strangly pleasant/happy feelings and colored lights. Also when this happens to me it doesn't last long, only a few seconds.

Edit: what happens exactly is that I tell myself: OMG I remember than I had this feeling of joy before. I said at a very early age because that's probably the closest to the truth since I can't really remember. I am only sure that I didn't get this feeling when I was a kid or as an adult. I can't remember, I only know that I experienced the feeling before.

I've had the same thoughts/feelings. Although most of my childhood was not happy, I have a few good memories now and then. Another poster asked a question about how fresh mowed grass evoked memories, and it did bring a happy childhood moment back. More a general feeling than a certain event.

Certainly focusing on positive things rather than negative is beneficial to one prone to depressive thoughts. The hard part is having enough positive things to focus on. It's a start anyway.

I know what he/she meant by "mowed grass evoked memories". This happens to me with the scent of rain on dry earth after a long period of dry weather.(I guess they call it "Petrichor" I have read it online). , especially because it rarely rains where I live, so when it rains it already makes me happy and reminds me of my early childhood when I used to sit/play outside the house.

I am probably going to give meditation another try hoping it works or at least helps me to focus more. I think if I can bring this feeling anytime I want and make it last longer, for sure that will be absolute happiness.

I wonder about paint. I know there are different mediums it comes in but...

I wonder how it is made.
What goes into it,
What is the material that paint doesn't stick to too easily
What is the best way to clean it
How often does it need to be reapplied? I wonder.

I wonder if someone would think I was a spoiled kid with a privileged life and only first world problems if they listened to my brain for a day.

Today I wondered where "Holy Toledo!" originated? I wondered "What is so special about Toledo Ohio?" All I have read it is is related to Toledo Spain and after the defeat of the Moors. It was the hotbed for Christianity there at the time. I never say Holy Toledo but I still wondered about that today.

I wonder why it is ok to be selfish and not think about other people sometimes? Why is it "empowering" to say you don't care about what other people think? Because shouldn't what people think matter? If nothing people thought mattered, is that not invalidating their existence? Their ideas?

I wonder why it is a common belief that people are only "in it for themselves." I wonder why small acts of kindness go unnoticed. Or why people complain that the act wasn't big enough. Not self-sacrificing enough. "If you could spare $50, why not $100? Why not $1,000? Why not all your savings?" Where is the limit?

I wonder if car alarms really work? I know they are annoying and I guess they call attention sometimes but I wonder how often they keep car thieves away? Last time u were going to still a car and you say there was an alarm on it did it persuade you to not still it?

I used to get diet Dr Pepper at Hardees and it was better than the bottle too. But that was the only fountain diet pop I ever liked.

I know SOS stands as a distress sign saying help is needed but I never wondered what the SOS stands for. I wondered what it was. Does anybody else know?

Saying somethings/someones beautiful is useful when I tell someone that. I just like something on various degrees, telling myself that something's beautiful doesn't seem to make any difference, when I'm sensing(this includes imagining) beautiful things within my own head.

umm,,,it's just you find something beautiful, and I find that beautiful.
