Three dimensions just seems so confining. I do my best work with four and an eraser. ---

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same, in a relative way, but you’re older Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death… You could do like that guy in _Catch-22_ and try to make every experience as unpleasant as possible so it’ll last longer. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by appletreats \* > \*\*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.
