You anti-time fanatics are always the same. Nobody is forcing you to use time. If you don’t want to deal with time, you have tons of options, such as: 1. Coma 2. Heroin addiction 3. Memory loss like the guy in “Memento” 4. Being a contestant on “Big Brother” 5. Watching the “Big Brother” live feeds 6. Reading SDMB 7. Waiting in line at the DMV See, there’s tons of stuff for you anti-timers to do. Leave the rest of us alone, and quit trying to inflict your anti-time agenda on the rest of the world. ---

Time does not exist if you kill yourself. Seriously. We move through time (time does not move through us). The parts of this 4th Dimension that we experience change in our perception into “Past”. However, with a neat causality loop, we can also influence through the infinite “Now”, the parts of time that we have not yet moved into i.e. the “Future”. So if time is pissing you off, top yourself. QED ---

Hey stupid - are you too dumb to know there are 4 different simultaneous 24 hour days within a single rotation of Earth? Greenwich 1 day is a lie. 4 quadrants = 4 corners, and 4 different directions. Each Earth corner rotates own separate 24 hour day. Infinite days is stupidity. Most math is erroneous. You are educated stupid. ---

[Cyndi Lauper] Time after time… [/Cyndi Lauper] Here’s another way to kill time, you idiot: Have fun! (you know, “time flies when you’re having fun”) So if you have fun all your life, then you won’t have to worry about that pesky little regulator called time. Though you may want to consider it if you want to be on time (oops, there’s that word again) for appointments and such. F\_X [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/time/191835.md?page=2)
