On this day of my reddit birthday, i realised i have nothing original to post, so here is my favorite

Born too late to be a pirate.

Born too early to be a space pirate.

You were born just in time . . .

There's still plenty to explore in ways that you have no idea about.

This was posted to reddit a month or two ago, does anyone have the (fixed) post that came out right after that? I can't seem to find it.. EDIT: Finally found it Fixed

I was born at the right time, I can explore the world on a cruise liner

DoctorNose · 1 year

To be fair, we are currently exploring both earth and the galaxy and you are sitting on your ass contributing to neither.

Don't pretend it would have been any different in any other time.

I'm still confused why people feel obligated to post on reddit birthdays

sora_no_tenshi · 1 year

Before feeling like crap because of this people should ask themselves those questions.

How many countries have you visited ?

How many oceans have you sailed upon ?

How many mountains have you climbed ?

whorecrux · 1 year

Well, I hear that the ocean is still free for deeper exploration.

Lightupthenight · 1 year

This is complete crap. This is the perfect time for scientific exploration. Our technological developments in spectroscopy and oter analytical meters, along with new research showing entire fields that could dramatically change the way we view life (epigenetics, advances in immunology, etc), make this time the perfect time to live. Go discover something!

paksman · 1 year

But I'm at the age of Reddit, I explore everthing - on office hours

somethingthathurts · 1 year

but you were born at just the right time to explore the underwater stretch of the oceans. Worth something, amiright?

JimmyDThing · 1 year

If you take this attitude, I have 0 sympathy for you. You're not only missing everything going on around you, you are missing the entire point.

Find yourself a frontier to explore and do so. The unknown doesn't find you, you have to go looking for it. If you're too lazy to do so, then you obviously don't REALLY want to be part of any of it. You would have been sitting around as people explored the new world moaning about how all great literature had already been written and there's nothing left to write about, or that air travel could not possibly happen in your lifetime.

If you want to be part of the exploration of space, THEN DO IT.

[deleted] · 1 year

Isn't it much much easier for the common person to explore earth these days?

TheRedComet · 1 year

If you think about it though, how many people back in the day were explorers? How many people become astronauts? even if you were born in the right time, it's unlikely these are things you would actually be doing. Just be glad we have awesome things like technology and the internet, and relatively less turmoil and disease than in the past.

At no other time in history could you find an affordable and seaworthy sailboat with adequate and simple electronics to allow you to sail around the world desalinating your own seawater taking vitamin supplements and eating out of cans. Price of this adventure under 20k. I assure you this is hardcore enough, You don't need scurvy to have a good time. Everything's been explored you say? Tell that to the Native Americans there whiteboy.

Born too late to die in the plague, born too early to die in the space plague.

Atreides_Zero · 1 year

The depths of the oceans are relatively unexplored.

The internet is a vast and constantly changing entity just waiting for us to explore and discover it's secrets.

We may not get to explore space but we may see bases established on the moon, titan, or mars within our lifetimes, it is never to late to begin making your self a potential asset for these ventures.

The private space flight industry is just starting to take off, we may see it take off to new heights within our lifetimes.

We just barely understand the human mind, but are already trying to recreate it through software, both are fields ripe for exploration.

Checkout groups like Paleo-World and go help explore the extinct species of our planet, maybe even discover new species or facts about those we already know.

To limit ourselves to space and geography is the only true dissapointment.

skdslztmsIrlnmpqzwfs · 1 year

if you celebrate your "reddit birthday" you maybe have nothing original at all.

samgrover · 1 year

Most of the oceans are still unexplored if you want to do that.

DonkeyKong92 · 1 year

Ugh, this shit again. People need to lighten up and let themselves dream, people who make this shit are only trying to piss others off.

[deleted] · 1 year

So explore the ocean. We've only done about 5% of it.

Miniver Cheevy

Miniver Cheevy, child of scorn, Grew lean while he assailed the seasons; He wept that he was ever born, And he had reasons.

Miniver loved the days of old When swords were bright and steeds were prancing; The vision of a warrior bold Would set him dancing.

Miniver sighed for what was not, And dreamed, and rested from his labors; He dreamed of Thebes and Camelot, And Priam's neighbors.

Minever mourned the ripe renown That made so many a name so fragrant; He mourned Romance, now on the town, And Art, a vagrant.

Minever loved the Medici, Albeit he had never seen one; He would have sinned incessantly Could he have been one.

Miniver cursed the commonplace And eyed a khaki suit with loathing; He missed the mediæval grace Of iron clothing.

Miniver scorned the gold he sought, But sore annoyed was he without it; Miniver thought, and thought, and thought, And thought about it.

Miniver Cheevy, born too late, Scratched his head and kept on thinking; Miniver coughed, and called it fate, And kept on drinking.

True. However there is still many caves, deep ocean and my asshole which can be explored.

cacu4you · 1 year

Happy Birthday, ly72!

So you're a Miniver Cheevey.

sandandpomp · 1 year

I think the same thing very often. It could even be simplified to I'm too lazy to do an exciting shitty job like fishing in Alaska or I don't have the ballls to fight in a war. The will to live always wins out in the battle between the will to live and the will to find adventure. That is to say I suppose I would've been some sort of scribe in the past and could've been a space scribe in the future.

jazzwhiz · 1 year

There are so many things to explore! Maths! Sciences! Musics! Arts! Literatures!

rasputins · 1 year

think about how many people actually got to "explore" the world. very few every generation or so.

now we get to fly across the entire world in a day without added huge risk of never making it home.

Oh outer space exploration will come in our lifetime (significantly extended lifetime), give the nerds + technology a couple decades before you can hop into your remote control iSpace and shoot around the galaxy on your own terms.

[deleted] · 1 year

if it makes you feel any better, humanity will probably wipe itself out before it can explore the galaxy.

[deleted] · 1 year

Yeah I mean, besides modern medicine, the internet, satellite communications, modern housing, air conditioning, roads, automobiles, the ability to travel around the entire world on a plane for a few thousand bucks in 2 days, a trip that previously took years, parliamentary democracy, untold wealth and prosperity that has never before been seen in human history, the acceptance of gays, the acceptance of atheists, helicopters, the ability to buy a burrito at 3am... you're right.

Feels bad man.

That second part doesn't apply to America anymore :(

Born at exactly the right time to be part of a global telecommunications revolution and watch as power in politics, culture, news, entertainment, etc shifts from a few centralized providers into the hands of every man woman and child on Earth.

justonecomment · 1 year

Build a robot, launch it into space and explore whatever planet or part of space you want to. We are space explorers now, we just don't need to go there we have cameras and sensors that can go there for us.

FailingUpward · 1 year

Get drunk. Explore your body.

Wakata · 1 year

Actually I think my generation may get to explore the galaxy when we're 70ish. OP, how old are you? I'm late teens.

If nothing else, I'd bet on moon colonization and maybe Mars too. Even traveling between planets right next to each other would be really cool. Have you seen the plasma rocket that the Central American guy designed for NASA? Holy shit. That could be a game changer. Look it up if you don't know what I'm talking about.

I find it hard to sympathize with people who'd rather have lived in a time when the first person to say "Hey, mortality rates go down a ton if doctors just wash their hands between touching corpses and delivering babies." was considered a crackpot.

You've been born in the best time of history human so far.

Just read how much we, as humans have come since 1900's, compared to any other centuries before it.

Hell, look at the progress we have made.. it took us 60 years to go from basic flight, to flying to the fucking moon and back, and also walking about on it. We as humans, since the start of the latter half of the 20th century just started to understand how we work as people.. and now we know how to modify/treat and cure most diseases as well as modify other organisms to do our bidding? how cool is that?!

We can fly from one continent to another in less than a day. We can transmit information and our pictures/videos to people thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye..

We have not been born too late or too early, we've been born in what is coming up to the new golden ages of human society.

fakeup · 1 year

We are supposed to be exploring our selves right now, or else we'll never make it to space

That's what makes me so sad about current human space exploration.

It just makes me so, so, so jealous. It's so bad, that I'd rather have space exploration stop than me not being a part of it. Have you ever wanted something so unattainable in your life? I recently found one of my first drawings I ever made. It's a few blobs with Earth, Moon and Sun written next to it.
