let me pose a question to you first: is conciousness formed by the brain, or does it occur naturally with it?

think about it - strictly speaking, i think most agree that animals also have some form of consciousness, albeit on a lower level than us. if consciousness just means an awareness of something, then certainly the internet must be a consciousness. but is it conscious on its own accord, or are we the ones supplying the internet this consciousness? similarly, as you have mentioned, the internet may be an immeasurably colossal crowd. if we are the cells doing our part in this world, then the internet would essentially be the organism we are responsible for as a result of our behaviours. but if an organism is said to be a living individual, where does the internet - and in part, society - stop being an individual and just spills out into billions of small, divided cells?

who are we to say that we're not in some unknowable being's endless dream? if you could dream someone into existence, wouldn't they be a part of your consciousness? the voice inside your head - is that not already a being inside you? are you separate from it? would you consider yourself - your consciousness - separate from your body?

whether anything is real is entirely, ultimately up to us. i do not think that we, as humans, can fully comprehend reality, let alone what it really (excuse the pun) is. instead, we are sufficient in accepting what we live in as reality, even if it might turn out to be someone else's dream all along.

thanks so much for asking ^o^ i had fun with this question lol, i must confess i went onto wikipedia to look up its definition of consciousness, and thus went down a tiny rabbit hole.. i've also admittedly fired back a lot of questions, but such is the nature of philosophical discussions like this, if you're willing to call it that lol. if u r interested, there's a podcast i really like (the rest is science) that might have an episode on consciousness one day which im still waiting on.. (only mentioned, but a good podcast to listen to nonetheless)

lain also seems really interesting and id love to watch it sometime once i get everything else off my schedule .. but my days have been awesome! hope yours have too

こんにちは！！bonyouを訪れてありがとう :-) 別のミドリのファンがオンラインで会いてちょっとびっくりしたけど、めっちゃ嬉しいんだ！日本語が苦手は大丈夫だよ、一緒に日本語をもっと勉強しましょう！

hi there!! thanks for visiting bonyou :-) i'm also surprised to meet another midori fan o(≧▽≦)o ☆ don't worry about not being good at japanese, we're all in the learning stages together ^o^ once again thanks so much for dropping by, and for the message too! i'm glad i've inspired you, hope you make something awesome !! have an awesome time

hi saint!! thanks so much for following my site's progress for so long :-0

as for the navigation code, for now you can access the script from here! dont worry if you still cant get it, i actually have plans to do a tutorial on it, and maybe clean up the code sometime lol

while im working on that, you can access the site's web archive and use the html inspector (ctrl shift c) to get an idea of the html as well ^o^ this should help a little in terms of a visual way to understand

just in case you're still unsure, i'll just do a quick explanation here!! im not too sure how much you may or may not know, but i'll just go over some aspects that might be a little confusing. the "url" in between the parantheses in "function setURL(url)" is basically an input, so if you take a look at the html you'll see in the inline javascript code i put "setURL('/abt.html')" for one of the buttons! then it sets the iframe's content to that link

for each toggle function, it sets the buttons' inline javascript so that they get their own "setURL(url)" when you click on the main button to show the subtabs and their corresponding titles! the rest of the code is pretty much the same :-)

it might take a while for me to put out the full guide, so hope that clears some things up for now! i totally understand needing some visuals, so i'll be sure to include some when i write the guide !! thanks so much for asking, and have a wonderful awesome time ♪(^∇^*)

hello again saint :-) glad it helped and that you figured it out! have fun playing around with it for your site ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

if i understand your question correctly, my blog page & the latest posts are manually updated with new entries, as well as the previous/next entry links in each post! i don't have a clue as to how i'd be able to automate the process (my guess would be php, but nekoweb unfortunately doesn't support that, and i don't think i'm ready to learn it just yet (＠_＠;)) so the best i can do at this point is enter the details into each separate page every time i write a new post.

hope that answered your question!! i understand the struggle with looking up a very niche/specific issue lol. and yep english is Hard with a capital H (i say with my english as a first language mouth)

im super glad you like my site that much, it's also really nice to answer your questions !! thanks so much for your inquiry this time, always happy to help out with any webdev related stuff ( •̀ ω •́ )b

hallo bayne! soz abt the link situation, i should probably find a way to automatically block the link straight from the form instead of having to filter it after it's submitted, but for now ty for dropping by! i've added your button as well :3c

anyhow. gonna try my best to explain but i'm not an expert, so this is mostly just my understanding from what i've seen and read. to put it simply, static sites look the same for all users! what this means is there's no generating assets or elements using javascript. a static site is displayed exactly as you've written your html, while a dynamic site might have extra sections that are inserted when the site loads that are different for each user. for example, personal sites are i think prime examples of static sites, while sites like social media and online shopping sites are dynamic sites!

for some further reading, i can direct you to this article on geeksforgeeks.org, as well as some reddit threads that explain this way better than i could: what exactly is the difference between a static and dynamic website in terms of users interacting with the website?, trying to understand static vs dynamic websites. if you'd like you can always look up "static vs dynamic sites" and look through some of the sites, but i personally just don't like visiting random sites and having to fight with the cookie box lol. happy reading ^o^

my spring semester was good! aside from the unavoidable crazier days.. but good ;-) thanks for asking, sorry 2 hear you had a difficult semester >_< hope you get to rest during the summer holidays if you have them!

yeah i can see how that can be true! ngl im excited to witness more discoveries being made about the brain in the future :3c

anyways hii!! thank you sm for ur nice comment (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) id love to discuss more but i dont use tiktok unfortunately </3 anything u wanna bring up for conversation feel free to do it through this contact form, or u could provide me an email i could write to(that i wont share obvs)!! peace, hope ur week's been awesome

hellooo tis good 2 see ur message again saint! it is indeed my hand (* >ω<) its pretty easy to do! i used remove.bg to remove the background and then edited it in ibispaint x, but ofc u may use any editing program you're comfortable with, or not at all if you're satisfied with how it looks from the get go! it's just a matter of making sure your normal cursor and and pointer cursor align somewhat, but again that's of course your choice ( =＾ω＾)

thanks again and always for ur questions! always a pleasure to help :3

btw i'd love to visit ur site sometime! if u dont mind the idea it'd be cool if u could just pop the domain (without the https) into the contact box! but if not thats not a problem at all o(^o^)o have an awesome week ahead !!

kro returns with the answers to ur questions .. (albeit a little slower than usual. life and stuff, yaknow （づ￣3￣）but as always, appreciate you dropping by!!!!)

you can change the icons of the pseudo element ::marker! if you expand the <summary> tag in your inspector you'll be able to see how i do it ^o^ basically, just use list-style-image on your summary tag and you're good to go! :3c to change the icon when it's opened, just target it using "details[open] > summary" and again using list-style-image (≧∀≦)

i do the brackets and dotted line thing using the ::before and ::after pseudo elements of their respective elements! for brackets, you target those pseudo elements and then use content: "[", and for the dotted lines, i just used border properties ^_^ again, you can inspect the style of pseudo elements by expanding the tags (in this case the ones you're looking for will be my <p> tags)

and glad you like my backgrounds! your comments mean a lot (●ˇ∀ˇ●) i use ibispaint x and my own photos to make them! if you're interested to try making some yourself you might wanna stay tuned for when i write up that tutorial on this exact thing i've been putting off for.. a while ..

ps hope you dont mind me literally stitching your two messages together w/o edits. i wasn't sure how to put them together without breaking the flow of the message, but in the end i thought it was kinda a trivial thing to worry over. cheers

hii faoil!!! thank you sm glad u like them ^o^ !!! looking forward to seeing more of your art :3 and yes i am 100%!! id love to do one whenever you want, i totally understand the burnout </3 i'd gotten a little burnout myself during artfight season ..
