  • I very much appreciate how many different interpretations of the “vibes” you’re talking about. Some people are probably on the same page as you, but think different things are responsible for it.

    Others are probably not understanding what you mean, but are trying to guess at what you mean.

    I don’t really know which part of the music is left based on your description. The vibes hardly come from the lyrics at all for me – it’s all about the melodies/tunes and harmonies. Chords and stuff. Rhythms and timing. Keys. Tempo.

    But I’m not sure what’s left that gives you personally “vibes”, especially since the “vibes” seem to come primarily from the lyrics to you, whereas the lyrics barely contribute to the vibes at all for me.










  • As a kid, I thought mile, inch, and ton were all fake units of measurement that didn’t have any actual distance attached. Just used metaphorically.

    • An inch is a distance you can measure using your thumb and index finger (from the same hand)
    • A mile is a distance you could walk, but would probably rather use a vehicle
    • A ton is too much weight to even fathom lifting.

    Then there’s cup, ounce, and pint, which I thought were just words for containers that have an approximate size. Yard and foot to a lesser extent. Acre must’ve been a plot of land of indeterminate size.

    Getting into cooking, I’m hating that teaspoon and tablespoon are a thing (along with a pinch and a dash). They don’t even seem to line up at all with my tablespoons or teaspoons…I need to own special spoons that are labeled “tablespoon” and “teaspoon”, otherwise the measurements will be wrong!

    And given the unit conversions of all this junk, I’m not convinced my former understanding is much worse than reality.
