Every year I believe that my faith in humanity can't get any lower. And every year I'm proven wrong.

Your belief of human goodness went up? Have you been living under a peaceful rock?

@Formfiller@lemmy.world 2025-12-31 04:30
Human goodness should plummet as well

I don't believe in love more than gravity. Gravity has always been there for me to bring me back down to Earth.

Gravity is globist propaganda, wake up! */j because Poe's law*

Funny, the thing I believe less and less in as I age is human goodness. Must be a generational thing. Also, gravity seems to be increasing every morning.

Your belief in Santa went up? I mean, as long as it helps you avoid the "naughty list", I guess that's alright, lol.

@dingus@lemmy.world 2025-12-31 03:07
Wow your love went up so dramatically. Mine is the opposite in a way.

@GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 2025-12-31 14:00
You believe in a thing called love?

I *really* like the idea of telling people that I believe in ghosts more than myself

Human goodness is below aliens, lol. :) I dont know, maybe its just me, but that says a lot about our societies.

Human goodness and ghosts are down for me, aliens is up.

I like using ghosts and gravity as reference lines

For me the society's ability not to destroy itself is at an all time high, but my light blue would be '*the idea that society is sophisticated and high functioning'*

Ah, good ole gravity. No matter where you go, there it is.

Now I have to listen to “I believe in a thing called love” by the darkness

My friends cousins are all convinced they saw ghosts when they were kids. They also had an uncle who frequently played tricks on them. These two things are unrelated apparently

@WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 2025-12-31 05:37
> Ditto "aliens", *if* we interpret it as "extraterrestrials that have been to Earth". This is an important distinction. 100% chance there is extraterrestrial life out there somewhere 0% chance any of it has come to visit

Real adulthood is knowing there's no logical way to unconditionally prove those particular negatives. What you do with that information is another discussion. Edit: Also if anybody is interested in reading up in an absolutely fascinating phenomenon, [this](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=Deathbed+visions&filter=datesearch.y_5&filter=simsearch2.ffrft) was a topic that came up during my hospice / palliative care rotations. [This article](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10710003/) in particular is a systematic review from last year. One of the most fascinating things about this phenomenon is that it's *markedly* different from the hallucinations seen with psychosis and delirium (which I'm more familiar with, my specialty being psychiatry). In particular the person experiencing it presents with orientation and cognition that is completely logical, linear, and otherwise intact. A patient with psychosis often presents with poor understanding of their situation overall, such as not knowing where they are, not remembering recent events, or sometimes not even recognizing themselves. Their speech also usually presents with either thought blocking / poverty of thought, or the opposite—tangentiality / flight of ideas where their statements don't logically follow each other. Meanwhile patients reporting death visions are typically able to accurately recall where they are, what has been happening, what is likely to happen next, and retain the ability to have linear and reality based discussions. They just *also* report seeing deceased family or pets, religious figures, etc. *Fascinating* topic.

@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2025-12-31 05:06
hey, i have a ghost that lives in my microwave. first a few things you should know. my entire town was built on an american indian burial ground. like, starting in the 70s they'd have the tribe come out for every new development and help relocate artifacts to [redacted fuck you i ain't telling] and our house is legit burial ground. not cursed burial ground or anything. anyways we have this ghost that turns on our microwave from time to time, seemingly randomly. I named him Smudgy, because we have one of those touchscreen control thingies and i noticed he's active whenever someone with greasy fingers has been using the microwave. and he's really easy to shut up with a soapy washcloth. i "believe" in ghosts. it's harmless fun.

I don't believe in ghosts or the supernatural, but I've visited sites where America massacred Native Americans and enslaved Africans. What I felt and experienced there can only be described as haunting. Brains do weird things in stressful situations. I get why some people give too much legitimacy to their hallucinations. They can be chilling, compelling, convincing, formative, and even beneficial.

@GreenShimada@lemmy.world 2025-12-31 09:06
My opinions on the subject are entirely opposite of yours, but I think we might agree that the two lines should actually meet and become "are aliens ghosts?"
-
@BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2025-12-31 13:52
I think there may be room to interpret that line as not necessarily a belief in ghosts, but that whatever the base belief, it hasn't changed much. They may not have believed much on the concept of ghosts, but keeping the door open to the idea, but as time went on, it faded a bit. They never really believed, but they did think about it a lot. That could describe me. I don't really believe in ghosts, but I also know that we don't know much at all about the universe, so who really knows? However, throughout my life, I've thought about ghosts a lot, mostly because of books and movies, but it's been a common subject of thought throughout my life. I probably believe less I'm them now, just like the chart. So while I don't really believe in them, I've thought about them a lot, and that would put them in a similar place on my chart. In fact my entire chart would look very much like this one.

2035 bingo card: by drilling forever deeper for oil, we messed up the earth's core and somehow that turned off gravity (yes, I know there's no scientific basis for it happening, it comes as a surprise).

There are three constants in the universe. Death, Taxes, and Change. Also, I'm not certain about the first two.
