Ghosts aren’t real, buttmunch.

Nor are Fairies, Bigfoot, or Bill Clinton.
Fairies are a kind of ghost. Bigfoot was a guy in a suit. And Bill Clinton was the product of a defunct government genetic engineering operation.

The soul is a kind of energy. And energy can not be created or destroyed. Therefore SOMETHING has to happen to it.

I don't know if anyone knows the answer to this, but I'm looking for an old franchise thing from the early 2000s.

I don't remember specifically what it was, but one thing I remember was it was a toy line that had a lot of subdivisions and movies(mostly of the cartoon variety) and the main toy I remember was the train toys, which I don't remember the name of. It was kinda like Hot Wheels in that there were a bunch of pieces you could put together to loosely cobble a larger set of trains and tracks togheter.

I can almost remember the full name of the train line specifically: I'm near certain it has "track" somewhere in it, but I'm blanking on the rest of the name.

The soul is an old timey descriptor for your personality, interests, and overall being. There’s no magical ball of life goo floating in your general chest area.

Of course it's not in your chest. You do know how the brain works, right? It's just electrical impulses being shot back and forth. Further more, science has proven that every time you access a memory you are creating it again, not pulling from some neurological hard drive. But if that's the case, then what are you creating the memories FROM (and if there is a legitimate answer to this question, please let me know because I'm open). But anyway, yeah. That's what the soul is.

Snake, darlin'.


You're like, one of the more anti-religious people I know, and you're arguing the existence of a soul, which is a religious thing to explain one's subconscious.... You're kinda being a walking contradiction.
And I believe there is an explenation for it based on my current understanding of both neurology and the law of conservation of mass. Not religious things at all. Again. Open to evidence, but this is how I currently see the world. And if someone is able to provide me evidence to the contrary, then I will not be nearly knowledgeable enough on the subject to disagree with them.

But yeah. Ghosts are real.

Prove it.


If ghosts were real, don't you think scientists would be pumping millions upon millions into research into the paranormal?


Instead, you have YouTubers going to explore "haunted" areas and Zack Baggins making terrible ghost hunting TV shows.

It just takes time. It's not something we currently have the scientific ability to measure. Just like how we used to not be able to scientifically describe gravity or evolution. But they still always existed before we could measure and quantify it.

I know that's not it, sorry.

Like, I remember one of the other things they made was a really weird space line that was... really weird.
I wish I could show you pictures, but of course, I can't remember it

And no one's doing the research, because we know they don't exist.


It's like crypto-zoology. No one takes those people seriously because everyone knows things like Bigfoot, Nessie, and the Thunderbird don't exist.

nobody took charles darwin seriously because they KNEW evolution wasn't a thing. Heck, people still argue with the theory of evolution.

Also, the Thunderbird is a religious symbol in native american mythologies, not a cryptid.

I'm telling you, some day someone's gonna accidentally find the right measurable wavelength or something and then boom, parapsychology will be blown wide open as a science.

But we COULD describe gravity AND evolution. And the evidence for it is necessary for us to believe it, unless you disparage the notion of the scientific method. If there was no proof for gravity or evolution, I wouldn't believe in it.

You know on one hand I don’t want to ruin the almost believing in Santa Claus esque optimism that you have for ghosts

but your so confident in it that my pessimistic side is coming out urging me to crush
Im conflicted
the idea that science has already discovered and quantified everything that exists and ever will exist is kind of silly to be honest.

Yeah but, we can clearly see the process of evolution and natural selection play out with our own eyes.

Everybody thought the earth was flat, but we now have irrefutable proof that it’s round.

I’m just saying, with how many self proclaimed paranormal investigators out there. And with how pupular ghosts are as a concept. You’d think someone would have found something by now.

The Thunderbird is a modern day Cryptid.

Hell, it's become soo iconic as a cryptid that it's gotten merchandise as such.

But I digress. You're not gonna change your stance on this, despite proving zero evidence that ghosts are real so :drshrug:

But what I'm saying is, we used to live in a world where we had no proof for either. But weather or not we could or had described it yet had no berring on weather or not it existed or not. It was always there doing it's thing.

Gravity is a natural result of the planet’s size and rotation.

Ghost are the spirits of once living people lingering on in the mortal realm.

It’s a lil different.

Noipoi monkeys paw, in June we get definitive proof that Crash will never come to Smash, but we also get definitive proof in the existence of ghosts. Both at E3 2021.
