Talking to yourself is something that’s frowned upon. People who do it in public are CRAZY because GOD FORBID someone allow their stream of thoughts leak out into the outside world. The human mind is an abyss full of terrors and it’s part of our social contract to keep that Pandora’s Box locked up.
But having a nice chat with yourself is a wonderful use of time in the privacy of your own home. It’s like masturbation but for your consciousness! You can have full-on arguments with yourself and win every time. You can berate yourself for dropping a dirty fork. You can sing a song to yourself about pairing socks. The excitement is limitless!
Or you can just post all that crap on Twitter and Facebook and call it a day.

There is a product called duck tape.
Fun fact: I’ve been convinced for a long time as a kid that it’s actually called “duck tape” until I’ve seen it written out after years of confusion about the connection between tape and ducks.
Is duct tape an american thing?
In the UK we call it duck tape
Duct tape was original developed for air ducts, hence the name.
It was originally developed for use in the army as a water proof tape and was called “duck tape” because water rolled off it like a duck’s back.
Duck brand duct tape is the most common type of duct tape in the UK
I’m in the US, and actually just saw Halloween style Duck Tape at a Walgreens. Got a good laugh from me and my brother because we thought is was sortov a novelty.

It was originally invented for military use in WW2 when a waterproof tape was needed for ammunition cases and other containers. At the time it WAS called “Duck Tape” because of this waterproof property.
After the war the tape found further use around homes and the “Duck” label didn’t make much sense, so it became known as “duct tape”. But sound like “duck” is no accident.
It’s not called Duct tape, that’s a misnomer. It’s called DUCK tape, because it was originally (and still is, by some brands) made out of cotton duck. Hence, it’s tape-made-out-of-duck. It’s duck-tape.
It was originally created for jerry-rigging electronic and weapons repairs.
If only it were that easy.
I actually have crippling depression from years of social anxiety, and I wish this were true
what duct tape wont fix, super glue will!!
It’s like you put a mirror in front of my soul and made a funny cartoon. I love you guys.
