Random Thought of the Day - Daily Contest #10 - What's the Closest Thing to Real Magic?
Hey folks.
I want to keep this concept as decentralized, as possible so I will be asking for your input before making any significant changes from now on 😉
So I am thinking of changing the prize to only 1 winner each day until we have more engagement but i will raise the value to 5 POB ?
Do you think this is a good idea ?
I can easily go back to 3 prizes when we get more people onboard.
Today I was happy to find myself added to a list of contests here on Hive in this Post
So today's #rtotd is What's the closest thing to real magic?
Personally I would have to say Music + Hallucinogenics but that's just me. 😉

I have started this competition in the hope that this will prove to be a fun and interesting way to get people to interact and engage with each other here on #proofofbrain
It could be about anything really. Ranging from a memorable quote to a story or maybe just a random question about life itself. Literally any subject is open for discussion but I will try and not let it get too weird !
You are also welcome to talk about any other subject you like.
To enter the competition you simply have to make any type of comment on this post and I will do a daily random draw for 3 lucky winners.
You are not required to Upvote, Re-Blog or Follow but it would be nice.
I use https://www.random.org/ to pick the winner with TRUE RANDOMNESS !!!
1st Place = 1 POB + 1 Upvote
2nd Place = 0.75 POB + 1 Upvote
3rd Place = 0.50 POB + 1 Upvote
If it all goes well I will increase the prizes very soon. I also intend on powering up 100% of the votes from each daily contest in order to increase the Upvote prize.
Congratulations To Yesterdays Winners
1st Place - @riandeuk
2nd Place - @jaxsonmurph

I don't know how to say this but for me mother's love is closest thing to real magic. It's pure, unexplainable, unmeasurable, unconditional. Let me give you real example, a couple of days back, I had been so tensed and anxious. I had trouble sleeping. I was wake up in night. Suddenly my mother came to me and told don't worry everything will be all right. I asked her why she was no sleeping. She told she was not feeling good and having vibes about me. I was amazed and moved by this. This is not first time something like this happened. I have experienced it many times, a mothers loved is beyond reasoning and its magical.
Thanks for your response. That is definitely some real magic :)
I think technology is the closest thing we can see in the modern world that resembles what was classed as real magic.
For instance if you could have spoken with somebody else through a small gadget in your hand back in Salem you would most definitely have been hung for witchcraft Lol.
Even the advances we are seeing in computers, TV, personal travel etc, wearable technology we are becoming the tech wizards of the 21st century.
Ha Ha I think a witch world be terrified of our modern tech.
Soon they would have been able to trade in that broomstick for a more ecologically friendly electric jet pack instead of cutting down trees. The climate alarmists would be very unhappy with any witches that didnt go green.
I like the idea to create one prize until the engagement builds up although I would suggest maybe cutting it to a 1st and 2nd of maybe 2 pob for 1st place and 1 pob for second to allow you to have a little more scoop over things moving forward before committing.
Plus with one prize people may feel that it would be a first come first served scenario and not engage if somebody else has, However I could be wrong.
One good thing that could be done if you are going with the one prize Idea could be to use a n app thinks picks a random daily winner recording the process on video for a 3speak which could be incorporated into the daily post, it would only take a few minutes to set up.
Hi there, Yeah technology came to mind when i was thinking about it. It really comes close to real magic.
Yeah i am thinking now i will just keep it as 3 winners...makes it more interesting but i am going to still raise the first prize to 5. :)
the video thing sounds good...maybe in the future...for now i will start posting a little screenshot of the random draw to keep it simple :) proofofeyes lol
Quantum locking and related sciency.
Wow man..that's excellent :) Pretty Magical.
Thanks for commenting.

Literal levitating objects are as magical as it gets imo. :)
Google stadia, console gaming without the need for a console, downloading and installing. It's runs better than I expected and is great for a casual gamer that's not doing any competitive pvp gameplay 😀
is it really that good ??
As long as you got a stable connection that's relatively fast you're good.. They're still adding games, library isn't as extensive as other platforms but that's kind of to be expected from something quite new. I'm guessing we're gonna see the real advantage when new hardware upgrades become available before the next gen of consoles is coming. Right now there's been the recent update so the difference is small or even still in favor of the physical consoles, I think that might change over time.
Biggest reason for me was being annoyed with a PS3 breaking down and never getting round to fixing it and spending time/money on that. This way all that can break is a controller, replacing that isn't that big a deal
yeah i checked it out and ..it looks great....definitely the way ahead for gaming...i need a new PC really...!! This thing is running Windows 7 !!! I used to have a nice gaming laptop but it fell apart lol
life has some elements of real magic but we are so used to them we forget the magic. here are 2
1 photosynthesis
2 sexual reproduction
Spot On :)
