There's one road in particular that has them for a good mile straight.
Hard pass.
There's a road I go on that was probably paved in the last five years, has barely visible cracks, just enough to cause a

I saw it in an overall dumb movie yesterday and got to thinking about it. Like, is there ongoing research on how it supposedly works?
Another question I have is the myth of the brain having a vast store of memories which you generally can't recall, but can be revived if the brain is properly stimulated. Is there anything to that?
