it's crazy that there's isopod species spanning from the deep ocean to arid deserts while still looking basically the same. this is a message against fast fashion trend chasing. find a look that is truly timeless and for all locations, like the isopod body plan

ancient historic case of "girl dump him"

remembered dilbert's concerningly young ex-wife, who appears to have an interesting relationship to flight safety

wwhy shrek is piss. why shrek is piss #italiano

it's so weird that people still make mashup songs after the wave of girl talk etc but now they only ever get used as the soundtrack for shortform videos. and they're all the worst thing you've ever heard

"If that's not a highlight reel goal I don't know what is" Minnesota's Abbey Murphy beats her defender with a lacrosse move, then slides it over for Bella Fanale to score

the fine-tuning argument about fundamental constants has always pissed me off. "if the universe was different life couldnt exist" ok and if red was blue then it wouldn't be red. but it isn't blue, it's red

ive run an N=1 study on the effects of going back to the gym after 3 weeks off and not decreasing weight or volume lifted. on day two one anonymous participant reported "oof ow ah fuck god damn how does just walking hurt this much"

you kinda know it abstractly but looking at the numbers and seeing "America accounts for 37% of all military spending on earth" is still crazy

here's your assigned reading list for the day. i want all those links purple by 11:59

tahi

i dont like that ottawa gets to have a place called "the glebe" and toronto doesnt. we should rename something The Glebe

i think the statue of limitations ended on that a couple thousand years ago buddy

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

(cw transphobic slur) i feel like someone funnier and much less cis than me could make hay from the bus stop i went past today

visual representation of attempting to experience joy while suffering from anhedonic depression

cleaned all the gunk out of and off my mouse #SimplyHavingAWonderfulChristmastime

allowing myself a stupid annoying post since its past midnight: half of the distribution is above the median and half is below. thats what a median is. please attack the annoying nerd's stupid point properly if i have to see it

i feel like being this round would solve a lot of my problems

when I was a TA and one of the other TAs got a disproportionate amount of complaints about harsh grading the prof said "hey man go a bit easier on them" and the other TA said "oh ok"

thing that's weird to think about now because it's so fundamental to a bunch of other stuff i've learned since, but i remember in one of my first stat mech classes there was a figure showing a sphere in the space of (vx, vy, vz) for integrating the maxwell-boltzmann distribution or something

instagram reels are great if you want to find the absolute worst fucking music that has ever been recorded. especially gym-related ones

Reading about the conflict between Ludovico Sforza of Milan and Lois of Orleans (later Louis XII of France and III of Naples). And thinking:

so do we think this is a result of LLM use or just regular ignorance/bad use of references here www.bbc.com/news/article...

alright if no one else is going to say it I will: the puzzmo crosswords are too easy and they feel more like a race than a puzzle

even aside from the AI shit, it's weird to think about how uploading images to the internet has changed. it used to be "the file on your computer is now on a server" but now it's "we have recompressed this at a minimally acceptable quality level to save space for us"

god they're always so dramatic

every time i see that someone has bagged up dogshit and then left it out, making a worse situation than if they had just left it there to get washed away eventually, i move one notch closer to complete insanity

they're playing drake at the gym. everyone has received a 10% debuff to STR and END

is this the first recorded case of the pandemic turning someone normal instead of making them insane?

This is U N B E L I E V A B L E. #Kilauea

oh my god lmao this guy managed to lose 2/3 of everything in a year the markets are up 20% www.reddit.com/r/fican/comm...

neighbour has a sneeze (at least I think it's that?) which sounds kind of like ripping a beyblade. and they do it a lot. "hnnt" is how I would write it. I do not care for it

invented a new drink called "gunk". 1 cup of egg nog 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, blended to slurrylike consistency

really appreciate the [sic] noting the american spelling of "defence" from this article about a canadian liberal caucus briefing document regarding canada-produced weaponry and equipment getting routed through the US to places we wouldn't send it directly www.readthemaple.com/liberals-fea...

it's weird that we picked highly divisible numbers for hours in a day, seconds in a minute etc but a prime number for days in a week. we should fix that

it is really fucking insane that NATO went ahead and decided to more than double the military budget target from 2% of GDP in 2014 to 5% this year. Russia's is ~6-7% in the middle of a war and China's is under 2%

theres something really special about the bsky user. like have you ever played the game of responding to someone with the most uncharitable reading of what they said? "you're asking me to take out the trash? you don't think women like yourself are capable of doing that? internalised misogyny..."

95% sure I just saw a fox strolling through the middle of campus and unfortunately spooked a poor woman walking towards me by saying "I think that was a fox!?" before I noticed she had headphones on

it’s hard to talk politics anymore because the natural response to everything is “oh they should be killed” but you’re not allowed to say it. it’s more illegal than open pedophilia

optical clocks are so cool. hey yeah we're accounting for the change in gravitational redshift due to post-glacial rebound in our error budget iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

there should have been a movie in the "honey, I shrunk the ____" franchise called "honey, I shrunk thee"

just ate two perfectly ripe bananas in the aggregate (one was underripe and the other was overripe)

This is the nicest shot of the night, via two different cameras that captured the same meteor. Crestone, Colorado USA November 12, 2025 at 2:36am MST #astronomy #astrophotography #meteor #aurora

it would only be appropriate for aliens to do the equivalent of this to us all. or at least the people who are okay with this kind of thing
