…and 26.4% estimating useless statistics.

46.9%, That little?

Was she falling past them at the time?

Life is but a daydream.

No wonder there were songs about daydreaming by The Loving Spoonful and Aretha Franklin.

87.3% of all statistics are made up

Define ‘daydreaming’ in this scenario?

Except for the capybara one I think we’re seeing a bit of throwaway facts today. No worries, on to Scary Gary. :oD

Today Ripleys set a record, three for three on useless, inane or unprovable items.

“All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.” T.E. Lawrence, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom. (I highly recommend it)

Humans spend nearly half the day dreaming of Aliscia Burrows riding a capybara while cleaning windows. Now, THAT, is what I call time-mismanagement!

That’s daydreaming statistic is, um, an inspiration to curiosity.

Or if you’re in a hurry, skip the investigation and come to the obvious and most likely answer: bull shenanigans.

In 2023, I cleaned 2 of my apartment windows in 33 minutes, including one rest period for a quick snack and a beer.

A crass Jersey girl casually walking alongside a building hocking loogies on their windows isn’t “cleaning”

Once, I almost cleaned a window in my house in 4 hours and 32 minutes. I couldn’t find the Windex.

There is no context about the size of those windows.

Not all my daydreams are dreams, some are daymares

And the other %53.01 sleeping

I wonder how large the windows were that Aliscia Burrows cleaned and did she do both sides? Any streaks?

I’ve never daydreamed about using a Capybara as furniture or cleaning windows.

I’m one of those lifelong daydreamers, and I like to foster my daydreams alongside my nocturnal ones into fictional samplers!!

Furniture or a slow ride?

I’d like a cite for that daydreaming stat, and I sure hope it doesn’t apply to surgeons or commercial drivers, or …

Alisica was working for a wealthy peeping tom anxiously watching a stripper practicing her pole dancing.
