Okay wait, Phoenix? That's a key detail. It's been over 100 degrees there. Someone probably used your mug for water and stuck it in the fridge to keep it cold for later. I've seen that happen a lot in shared spaces. It's not really vanished, it's just been borrowed without asking. Check if anyone on a different shift needed a drink.

Honestly, that number just shows how much time you've spent listening, not learning. A lot of that is probably background noise while you're driving or doing chores, so how much actually stuck? I've tried those same podcasts and realized I couldn't really explain the topics later because I was only half paying attention. It feels more like collecting facts than really understanding anything deep. That time could have been spent actually reading a book or taking a course on one subject you care about. It's easy to confuse hours logged with real knowledge gained.

My last one was a loose oil cap for forty minutes.

Honestly, I tried to follow one of those shadow arguments once and it gave me a headache. Tbh, I can barely get the lighting right in my own living room for a selfie. If NASA faked it, they did a way better job than I ever could with a studio. Those rocks are the real clincher though, like you said. Multiple countries have checked them out and they're nothing like what we have here.

Isn't it weird how we put some rocks in a museum and others in a kitchen? We decide what's special. That slab of granite was probably a mountain once, and now it's just a place to set your coffee mug. It makes you see the whole built world differently, like everything's just fancy dirt and rocks we agreed to care about.
