This feels just a few steps removed from bringing the technology from the 1990 film "Total Recall" to life. Clients are able to purchase completely custom memories, choosing the exact characters that will appear in their "vacations", their ages, and appearances.

In recognition of National Tooth Fairy Day on August 22, Delta Dental released additional findings from its 2025 Original Tooth Fairy Poll®.
Thank you for these; they convey the relative proportion very well and have satiated my curiosity.

Me and a friend often debate the relative merits/downsides of a technologically globalized world versus the more isolated, but closer-to-nature "good old days". They sent me this post today, which, though I don't necessarily agree with, I found measured and thought-provoking, and hope someone else might, too.
