me in any conversation about anything lately:

i think car horns should have a cooldown period

getting tech recruiting emails is a uniquely horrific psychic experience wanna build completely unregulated digital casinos? plagiarism machines that give children asthma / detailed suicide instructions? the panopticon?? double enron??? a new kind of cancer that only kills orphans?????

I just keep looking at this and laughing. best thing europe has done since ecce homo.

i feel like you should be allowed to retire in your 30s if you promise very hard you're gonna make the most out of it. in your 20s even. i was born to live like a pensioner, this is my true calling

omw to morning cinema :] <3 ^_^

Happy birthday Mewtwo!! 🥳🥳 #Pokemon30

got prescribed adhd medication a while ago and, hey, what a weird coincidence that for the first time in >15 years i haven't needed to take migraine medication for two weeks in a row. looked it up and it's apparently Not A Coincidence At All there are studies and all, isn't it the coolest thing ever

istg the most boring art always comes from people who wanted to Make Art all their life. my biggest pet peeve is interacting with something that was made because the author wanted to Create but struggled to decide what because they had nothing to say. i promise life goes on if you're not an artist

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

question for folks who are less mobile-illiterate than me: i have a third party keyboard installed on android 13, whenever i restart my phone it's disabled and i have to enable it from settings. gboard is the only one that stays on after restart but i want a different one, is there a way avoid this?

among the first recorded cases of the grink being there

Yeah I slept like a log, my slowly decaying body provided shelter and sustenance to a wide variety of small invertebrates

Here's how the Earth article looked in 2001 when Wikipedia was a month old, long before Wikipedians realized their fledgling online encyclopedia would be read and edited by astronauts in space someday

what do you mean a wall of text that explains the improvements i made to my grocery list template is not an acceptable answer to 'what's up'

lobbying hard to get my girlfriend to get communication buttons for her cat. yes, my biggest desire is getting woken up at 3am by a distant voice saying SnackSnackSnackSnackSnackSnackSnackSnackSnackSnack

"AI chatbots elude even their creators’ full control and understanding." No they don't! Fuck this bit absolving tech companies from responsibility. Even if it were true, no other industry is held to such a lax standard of "it's fine if you don't know how your product works and can't control it."

daily reminder that bones are wet

bands contacted to ask if i can pay them directly to get their music since i can't legally buy it online: 1 so far

i bought a semi decent mp3 player and you have no idea how annoying i'm gonna be about it

no pressure for the next one

life hack! if you buy tools to dispose of a body every, let's say, couple of years, it's gonna be sooo much more difficult to trace it back to you when you murder someone ten years from now. be kind to your future self

looking at the window of a store that prints pictures on souvenirs. a man well into his 90s approaches us and goes "did you look carefully? THAT'S ME!" pointing at a wooden clock with his printed picture. day made forever

Regarding the new handheld that lets you play Gameboy games and takes AA batteries and is super retro and cool but also made out of the same materials as the CEO’s other company uses to make drones and that’s a SELLING POINT…

“try water fox or ice weasel” try chill penguin. install flame mammoth. you just download bubble crab. literally just use boomer kuwanger. sting chameleon has a search bar, use it to find toxic seahorse.

if you don’t know, some amazing work being done by dril on threads

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

"my arm kinda hurts, i'll climb anyway but i'll take it easy today" flashforward to me hanging with one arm and pulling up for funsies. i didn't choose the boulder bro life, the boulder bro life chose me

Every day:

"what do you mean you never use it?" i have literally never needed it in any situation

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

What if ponies had wings? What if dinosaurs walked around smoking giant doobies? What if fish had bicycles and we all wore them on our heads like little hats

13oct - ‘the curious and quite dreadful sensation of being forgotten’

i don't like folding laundry because it forces me to confront my human impairment of not being able to perceive wet. it's humiliating

I made a scarier version of my MtG commander so he can intimidate my opponents

Mood, by noonsillustrations on IG.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Oh, I love this. A new species of sea anemone was discovered recently that parks itself on top of a hermit crab shell like a hat. It seems to feed partly off the crab's faeces, but it also excretes a hard shell that extends the crab's home. In return, it's carried around the seafloor like a king.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

if you enjoy a movie that doesn't pass the Bechdel Test a mean lesbian will come to your house and yell at you actually. we take turns doing shifts for this. mine is next week.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

underrated part of going to a festival: trying to smuggle in as many snacks and drinks as physically possible before you get caught

i have mostly switched to in-ear headphones, here's my review so far: pros - noise cancelling is better than expected - decent battery duration cons - it gets slightly painful after a while - i'm constantly low-key terrified i'll put the case in the washing machine
