What boggles your brain a bit?

[Iwonder777]

For me, I often wonder why big organisations may or may not be looking at you NHS don't make sure there is sh#t hot fully trained leadership and managers in post to ensure thing run smoother in the downstream teams?

In private sectors, it appears that time and money is spent ensuring this?

What boggles your brain?

The sheer size of the universe, what's at the edges of it and the number of stars and planets. That makes my mind boggles.
Also the scale and duration of the lies XH told. Exact same boggly reaction induced.

That without modern technology someone devised notion of time, as in a second, length of minute, hour, a day, week etc - culminating into 365 days (leap year because of unaccounted hours?). The intellect involved is just mind boggling.

Plus ancient architecture like pyramids, temples etc - again calculated and built without technology but human intellect and still existing today. It's just amazing what the human mind can create

@longcoffee 😯 That has truly blown my mind!

Inflation is one for me. I understand it, but still find it weird that £10, for example, is worth half of what it was 25 years ago.

@ChaosTrulyReigns in the car? They are so emergency services knows their is potentially a baby or child in the car in

@namechangedforthis1122 do you think our fantastic Emergency services would not check a car thoroughly? It takes a flimsy bit of plastic to alert them?

Baby on board signs are for the emergency services. If there is a significant crash, they know to look for a baby who may be still trapped in or thrown from the vehicle

This it totally untrue. It's an urban myth.

How it is that planes stay in the air ...
Try not to think about it much.
Not going to fly again anyhow (environmental reasons).

3D printers & cashback. Just can't get my head around either

@pinkyredrose indeed.

And in a "significant crash" I think a car seat is rather note noticeable than a sign attached to a presumably smashed window.

The only benefit of those signs is to the manufacturers' P&L accounts.

Note = more

The fact that every time you get on a bus or go into a busy shop etc, that exact group of people will never be together in one place again.

And the universe for me too. Where does it end? And what's beyond that?

The body , human or animal , how does it know what to do. Make heart beat, eyes see and interpret what they see in to stuff we know. Cuts and broken bones heal .

I found the concept that we have no control over what a body does baffling sometimes

Also things that happened independently around the world before we had world wide communication.
Like start a fire I know things like lightning strikes and volcanoes erupting will started a fire naturally and we would figure how to keep it going but how did we figure out how to start a fire independently of the rest of the world.
And how did we figure out some plants with poisonous
Caveman Joe Bloggs dies after eating something even the ones in the next encampment a few miles away would not know that this particular plant was poisonous so how many people died before word got around at that particular plant would kill you.

Also what brightsparks stood on the sandy beach and decided to heat some sand to ridiculously high temperature and it would make a see-through material that will become one of the most used products in the world , glass .

Languages and accents! How different languages developed and how someone living 30 minutes away can have a different accent to you!

Flying. I know the physics, I know how that great big thing filled with people stays up in theory - but it still boggles me.

Whuan which before the coronavirus outbreak I'd never heard of. And has a population of 7 million and is a big city. Which got me thinking how many massive cities are there with millions of people living in it

Nor had I, and had been to China several times and my DH did business there. Last week went to small but fantastic garden photography exhibition in Kew Gardens and noticed there were several award winning photos taken in or by artists based in Wuhan.

@ChaosTrulyReigns @pinkyredrose

I have always actually thought that if there was an accident, they would fall off anyway. Mine doesn't even stay up when I close the boot lol!

I wonder what the real reason is? I always hoped that it would stop people parking up my arse because they should assume I got to get a buggy in/out but it doesn't do that.

Maybe when I pull away at traffic lights really slowly to stop my sleeping babies heads from flying forwards, people might be a little more understanding, but I doubt that too!

@TerrorWig that is just false economics at work

a tremendous market crash is imminent and should level things out over the next decade

The idea of working 35 hours a week for money. Who designed the typical work week like this? Why not 3 days of work a week? Do most office jobs take the same amount of hours per week to do? What would society be like if there was no money and we all pitched in as a community. I think about this too much.

I wonder what the real reason is? they're so that overly entitled people who've sprogged can show other drivers how much more important they are and that they deserve special treatment.

That's pretty aggressive for such a calm conversation

I haven't read this whole tread so I hope some other people have give you a hard time about them OP...
what boggle MY brain is why otherwise seemingly intelligent people don't understand that 10 years of Tory austerity has FUCKED the NHS. I was, for your info, a fully trained and shit hot NHS manager and I couldn't stand it for another minute , trying to turn shit to sugar and deliver the impossible with no investment.
If you think you're so "shit hot", there are plenty of 8c jobs around at the moment. Go and give it a crack and see if you can change the world with your MBA and your ambition.

Also, death. Conception. Sex. Religion. Intention. Totally possible to have a philosophical discussion without bitching about a whole public sector staff group.

Economics and banking. I just can’t get my head around the fact that the world is full of money (and most of it isn’t even tangible real money) and that people can manage it as easy as me doing my household expenses.
