Fun life experiments

Gathered from this tweet.

  1. Make eye contact with people when you're walking around. You find out a lot of people avoid eye contact. @christineist
  • Variation - Add a smile. Notice how many people reciprocate @victorenasaur
  1. Use the untouched color in your eyeshadow palette. @christineist
  2. Make a list of uncomfortable things and then do them. @tasshinfogleman
  • Tasshin’s list
  1. Take more silly walks, monty python style! Feel the difference in your gait, tempo, positioning as you flail through space. @russlramos

  1. Play the cat game. Say “Meow” as many times as you can slip into conversation without other person noticing. @russlramos
  1. Never respond to “how are you” with “good” and instead answer more creatively/ honestly/ still socially appropriately. @katrinadlc
  2. Dress up every single day (even if you're sitting at home doing nothing); pay attention to how different clothes and ways of presenting yourself affect your mental health. @jemgold_
  3. Cover a stranger’s coffee, groceries, or dinner bill randomly (bonus points: anonymously). @valpski
  4. Learn to solve a Rubik's cube using the CFOP method. @aditya___verma
  5. Watch a film without the sound on @worksoverfaith
  6. Whisper when you talk to people @worksoverfaith 
  7. Zero first-person pronouns was fun. No “I”, “me”, “we”, etc. @qephatziel
    Checkout The We-Ness if you like that game :) @anneselke
  8. Treat everybody you meet that day as God. @shibumigido
  9. Send well wishes (in your head) to people as you’re walking around. “May this person have an awesome day”. @victorenasaur
  • Variation - Do the same for animals and plants! “May this cat stay safe and healthy!”. @victorenasaur
  • Variation - Send gratitude to buildings! @victorenasaur
  1. Think of any random sentence and search it on youtube. Watch the first video that comes up. @0xsunil
  2. Think about two thinkers you most admire, who seemingly have nothing to do with each other. Google their names together. You will find out that a grad student has spent ten years of their life explaining how they are similar, and put them in a small PDF for you. Read the PDF. - @ctbeiser
  3. Find a way to embarrass yourself everyday @nonfuisum
  4. Think of life as a game, explore new activities, places and even about yourself as you are in a game. Make use of free will. @cosmovenky
  5. Try to state your real intention before you do anything. Say it out loud, try to stick by it, and you’ll find yourself doing these things much better, with more love and precision. You’ll also find yourself drifting away from things that carry no meaningful intention. @tiksiminic
  6. Compliment strangers.
  7. Send a Thank You note to someone whom you admire
  8. Send an email or a dm to the author of a book you liked and ask them about it. just use your free will and be curious. @spideydykey https://x.com/spideydykey?s=21
  9. Observe and make educated guesses re which attractive restaurant service staff members are pursuing acting careers on the side - Rob L

 Take photos of 100 of the same ordinary thing in the real world. Things like Christmas trees, pumpkins, clocks, birds, anything that excites you. Observe the moments it changes how you see things. - https://x.com/taydotfun

26. Take one of those illustrated tourist maps of your town. Walk every single street and highlight it by hand as you go. - https://x.com/taydotfun

27. When you’re overwhelmed with decision making and you’re at a crossroads, always follow your gut. Listen to what your body feels or tells you; sometimes, your body/gut feeling alarms you before your head/logic catches up. Feeling bad about that job? Resign. Feeling something’s off with some people? Do what you need to do. Sometimes, all it takes is a leap of faith. To further help you with decision making, write the pros and cons in a list. Whichever weighs more and whatever you feel about it -- if it makes you feel great and good, not drained and forced -- that usually tells you something. - @renndrp

28. Wear every piece of clothing you own at least once.

32. Gather your friends together in one place or a weekend, watch one another’s favorite movies, and have everyone’s favorite playlists compiled into a master playlist. Y’all should listen to those songs only. Cook each other’s favourite meals and eat them, then listen to each person explain why the movie you watched is their favorite and why the meal is their favourite. - @ijalob_oyab
