Y'know those emergency flashlights that have an LED, a capacitor, and you shake it up to power it? I want one of those in headlamp form. Like, the LED is up on the headlamp and a wire goes down to the part you shake. And there should be a clip or something so you can clip the shaking bit to […]

In Stardew Valley, if you complete the Community Center, you put JojaMart out of business, which is good for the town, but then also you destroy the jobs that Shane and Sam worked. Not to mention Morris and the cashier lady, although they don't live in Pelican Town, so maybe they'll be fine?? […]

I haven't seen any AI-generated content yet this year! (just woke up). I have not been exhorted to use an AI chatbot yet this year! How long can I keep this streak going?? #ai

@charleekress My mother painted this homage months ago. I had meant to share it here and forgot.

This image is from January 1st 2025 and, in my opinion, has remained unbeated as the most iconic photo of the year. If you think of a better candidate for photo of the year, please share it in the comments! #2025 #photography #photo #trump #cybertruck #tesla

no-one's quite sure what this Western Zhou art piece *is,* but so many people said "are you sure it's not a wifi router?" that the Anhui Museum installed a working wifi access point named "Western Zhou Router" in its display case. source […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

I finally caught up with a knife sharpener! Usually, I hear their flute, but by the time I get out there with my knives, I've lost them. But this time, I put the knives in my backpack so I could chase them on one of the public bikes. I almost lost him because he stopped piping and started she […]

I accidentally dropped a plastic tube into a 20L jug of water that has a skinny neck. The tube is floating sideways. I want to get the tube out, but I can't figure out how. I think I need a crow to help me. Is anybody here a crow? #crows

I keep on getting scores in the top 10% in the train game I'm playing, therefore validating my identity as a Person Who Likes Trains. The game is "Mini Metro" and it's about designing a metro network as it slowly grows and as the resources available slowlier grow, and how many passengers can […]

"Christmas" is short for "Christ's mass". I estimate that Christ's mass was probably between 45 and 90 kg at the time of his death.

I took the train today and decided to look at some numbers while I was doing it. A train pulled away as I got there, and the next one was there in 3 minutes. Each train had 9 cars. Yeah, you couldn't do much better even with a continuous conveyor belt. #cdmx

We're at the mall. The bathroom is down a long, narrow hallway. The sign says the bathrooms are suitable for disabled people, but the hallway is so narrow it barely accommodates a wheelchair.

We went to see a movie at the mall. There, I saw ads for the bus! Like "Hey, check out the new buses. Pretty nice, amirite?? Sincerely, the government." Hell yeah, they're nice! Specifically, they were advertising the new trolleybuses. I already knew they were nice and seek out opportunities […]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@alanboyle/115741265873123098 While I believe Blue Origin's carnival ride is far from a historical landmark, this flight will surely do more for disability rights than the DS9 episode "Melora". https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Melora_(episode) #blueorigin #ds9

[wwII] When I was going to sleep, I was trying to watch fun videos, and there was this one "hey, look at this one wacky airplane design someone tried to build once!" And I gotta stop falling for those videos, because "someone" is always the Nazis and "once" is always "late in WWII" and the […]

"A huge 89% majority of the world’s people want stronger action to fight the climate crisis but feel they are trapped in a self-fulfilling “spiral of silence” because they mistakenly believe they are in a minority, research suggests. Making people aware that their pro-climate view is, in fact […]

Walking around Mexico City last night, we saw a box truck. Y'know how truck cabs are so tall you have to grab on to something to climb in? You know how serious trucks have big side mirrors held up by serious struts and stuff? They had spikes on the struts, like they were expecting a car to pull […]

Idea: instead of cleaning, invest in a label maker. Put labels up like "dirty dishes", "pile of dirty laundry", etc. Voila: everything is in the right place and the house is technically clean!

Nice statistics. However, I have already put them on a spreadsheet and colored your cell red and my cell green.

When all you have is a hammer and sickle, every problem looks like capitalism.

I just saw this thingy. It passed through many hands before it got to me so I don't know where it came from, but I'm going to guess it was made by @welshpixie .

People who don't believe in vaccines should not be called skeptics. Their beliefs are based on faith, not empiricism. Skepticism can only lead you to the conclusion that vaccines work.

Trains are like dogs in that they are all good and they all go to heaven.
