How would you spend 30 minutes in the brain hat?

My neighbor was here today and we were watching our monkey goof in the back yard when I went to get us a tall glass of icy water. As neighbor drank the water her baby, due in two weeks, started doing crazy gymnastics in her belly.

It was really cool (cool for me, not so cool for her).

Now I've never been pregnant. Never wanted to be pregnant. Took precautions to make sure I never got pregnant. Have no intentions of becoming pregnant.

But I think that must be pretty cool to feel.

So I was thinking -- what if I could go be wired up to some brain hat that would trick me into feeling something for 30 minutes. I might sign up for tumbling baby (among other things but this ones enough for now).

How would you spend 30 minutes in the brain hat?

It has to be something that you either can't or never expect to experience.

There are no consequences.

You don't really learn anything practical from the experience.

Let's say it cost $2000 to spend 30 minutes in the brain hat so unless you're really rich you won't get to do it more than a couple of times in your life.

Think hard and then strap yourself in.

As we've been watching the puppies wiggle around in Gracies "belly" I was explaining to my daughter that if you've ever had a tummy muscle twirch or gas that caused your belly to "jump" as it rumbled through, that's what it's like to have a baby in your tummy.

Thirty minutes may be too long for this one, but I wouldn't mind feeling a male orgasm. People say they are different. I wonder if they really are.

Also, might want to be reminded of what it's like to be a three year old learning about the world. Yeah, I'd like to spend thirty minutes seeing the world from a childs view again.

A meditation state would be pretty cool, patiodog.

And considering squinney's "gas" response I might be changing my mind really soon!

I would be interested to know how anyone could REALLY know that a male and female orgasm could be so different. You'd think that even in gender reassingment that there would be some loss of feeling.

Seeing the world through a child's eyes would be amazing. That's a cool answer. I'm going to think on that one a bit as it is really fraught with danger.

I think blasting off in a rocket and walking on the moon would be good.

I'd like to feel menstrual cramps, so I can finally have proof that all this bellyaching you guys do about how horrible it is is a load of crap.

Along the same lines of Kicky's thinking, I would like to experience childbirth.

Just to see if it really is worse than a toothache.

I would like to experience a male orgasm, but I'm not sure what I would do with the remaining 28 minutes.

I don't think I want anything involving any bodily fluids. No swimming baby, no orgasm, none of that stuff.

Half an hour?

Could the brain make me believe I was flying ... I'd like that to happen outside of a dream ...

I personally think a toothache is much worse.

If it lasted two minutes there would be nothing left but a shell.

Would it be more accurate if I said 20 seconds?

You people <shaking head>

I'll take a big pass on childbirth. And toothaches. And very real cramps!

Sex, other than pregnancy and childbirth can't be all that different between men and women.

Not if you're doing it right.

I'll join eBeth with flying.

I can think of a lot of things:

To be a hero.

To be very, very famous.

To have been on that plane that crashed in Pennsylvania on 9/11.

To climb to the top of Mt. Everest.

To see what it would have been like to marry W instead of Mr. B

Sorry, I was just having fun boomerang :wink:


It would be great to think like Albert Einsten or walk on the moon for the first time.

Soz. That's the very best answer ever, I'm thinking

Nothing wrong with maudlin.

It really makes me realize what I take for granted.

Wonderful. Thank you.

Dlowan- - I was thinking animal brains too! That would be very cool.
