The Nerdfighteria feed runs through cloudflare lol So sorry if that's been intermittently broken for anybody, this is the one time I can say it's not my fault

The Internet used to be decentralized but now every couple months a company can screw up and a substantial fraction of the internet goes down AWS, Azure, Cloudflare If we're placing bets I'm putting my money on Google Cloud going down next week

These are some of the coolest pictures I've ever seen The photographer had to coordinate with somebody to skydive at the exact right time and place to photograph them in front of the sun

I gotta know what hank blurred out from the auto complete results

Should I do a Spotify styled bluesky Nerdfighteria wrapped website this year

"no longer will we have to open up history books for proof that democrats can be great" goes so hard

I'm on the opposite side of the country in oregon but this is still very exciting

The most excited I've ever been at sports is when our baby is fussy and grunting for a long time and then finally poops

Hot take You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette is one of the most melodically well constructed songs of all time Whenever I write music I can only dream of achieving the level of that, or Africa by Toto

Y'all don't understand the emotional whiplash of AI as a programmer. Half of everyone says its horrible and wont take any jobs, the other half says I will lose my job next year. I use some AI tools when I work and they're decent right now Will I have a job in a few years? Is it mostly hype? No idea

Just thought y'all should know that the paleontology world has been shaken up by evidence that came out that what people thought were juvenile t-rexes are actually a genus of smaller t-rex called Nanotyrannus This doesn't affect the general public but just know some people are freaking out rn

Fun fact the Nerdfighteria feed is running on my home PC right now since I've been too busy / lazy to move it onto the bluenotify server So anytime the feed stops working for a few minutes it's probably because I rebooted my computer 😬

@hankgreen.bsky.social ???

I kind of love how alien movies always hype up humanity so much "Love.. such an interesting concept that is only found in humans" And then the power of love kills the aliens Or our curiosity. Or our stubbornness It's always one specific trait that the aliens never could have accounted for

Airports are designed specifically to break the human psyche Except PDX, you're sexy and chill

I went to a hooters for the first time and I didn't know this about myself but every time the waitress came over I felt like I had to turn my head away the same way you would if somebody was typing in their password on a computer The whole point is cleavage but I couldn't bring myself to look

The Nerdfighteria feed has been fascinating to run. Getting it to only show Nerdfighteria related posts is incredibly challenging. It turns out that some people (cough cough Sarah, Payton cough) are so well-connected Nerdfighters that every single post ends up in the feed no matter what I do

This is not a joke what the hell did prehistoric humans do before diapers?? Were all ancient parents covered in shit all the time

@beetlemoses.bsky.social is The Far Side for modern times and I love every single comic

She's sleeping particularly well through The Descent so I think she might be a horror fan

I've been sick and whenever I'm on shift to watch the baby I mostly sit on the couch and watch movies from my backlog while I hold her So in a way, our baby has watched: Casablanca, Pacific Rim, This is Spinal Tap, Citizen Kane, and Do the Right Thing She's off to a good start

Sorry the nertfighteria feed keeps going down! First time was while we were at the hospital, second time was while I was running a marathon. It's been a busy week 😬 Now that things are more stable I can hit the restart button way quicker if it ever breaks

Pizza Baby Tracker @skudiklier.bsky.social @austinwitherspoon.com

THE PIZZA HAS BEEN DELIVERED

Pizza baby is IN THE OVEN

If anybody happens to go see the Paranorman re-release in theaters next month, please take a picture of my name in the credits! I won't be able to go myself on account of ✨Having A Baby ✨

I just want y'all to know that making the Nerdfighteria feed was not done one day before pizzamas intentionally I just happened to want to try making a feed from scratch at the exact right time

Nerdfighters! I wanted to learn how bluesky feeds worked so I coded one from scratch for Nerdfighteria. bsky.app/profile/did:... I'm still tweaking the algorithm so it'll likely change, but it's a chronological feed of posts that nerdfighters disproportionately interact with. More details below:

Screw the tooth fairy I'm teaching my kids about The Bone Man. He still takes your teeth from under your pillow, but he grinds them up into bone paste and uses that as glue to help put you back together if you ever break a bone

"DO NOT USE YOUR MICROWAVE'S POPCORN BUTTON." you don't understand, I have nothing to lose fuck it

Nerdfigher brainstorming wanted: what metrics do you think would be useful to collect in scoring users or posts for a nerdfighter feed? Here's what I've got so far: - ratio of nerdfighter/normies in followers and following - interactions with john/hank - keyword/hashtag usage in posts

Whenever I write code to interact with bluesky, the bot accounts with tens of thousands of follows always screw up my data and I hate them

I was thinking about making a Nerdfighter bluesky feed, would anybody use it if I did that?

I know nobody will find this funny but I can't get the thought out of my head a man on his death bed, and his final words quietly whispered before he passes on from this world: "I should have learned karate."

Both of my little brother in laws have now watched my baby simulator video and called me a psychopath afterwards that wasn't my intention, but I'll take it

Breaking news! They re-edited the AMC Nichole Kidman ad again! Now it's like less than ten seconds 😭

Is humanity breeding smaller and faster flies by mostly killing the slower bigger ones with fly swatters

Why does brown look so weird? If you take the dark desaturated version of any other color, I feel like it makes sense. Like If you showed me dark grey blue, I can tell it's blue. But if you show me brown, my brain never wants to say "that's a shade of orange"

It's so hard to make things AND have a full time job And now I'm going to have a baby soon How do people do it

Finally finished the video! I'm going to have a baby soon, but I don't know how to take care of babies. So I made a simulator to learn from the public how to keep a baby alive. youtu.be/bx4TK6liU_c

I just want y'all to know that when you recommend a movie and I say "I'll put it on my list," I do in fact occasionally add it to a list and I do, sometimes, actually watch the movies on my list not a lot, but it happens

I think the popularity of sped up versions of songs on TikTok and now on Spotify can only mean one thing The people yearn for Alvin and the chipmunks We need a comeback

why does youtube keep trying to push these games so hard, and why do none of the people have faces

Video editing some of the footage from my baby simulator at open sauce, and the transcripts from the raw footage are unhinged

Bad fact: A lot of prehistoric bugs were gigantic because there was more oxygen in the air, but spiders have unique lungs that prevented that from happening it's hard to know for sure, but it's likely the the largest spiders to ever exist are the ones that exist today

This is 90% for the title: The Nick of Time Down on their luck, a recently fired stockbroker meets Nicholas, a self described time wizard who promises to help them get their job back

I think books about story structure might be like the opposite of self help books "How do we effectively break the spirit of a person by carefully crafting the worst possible situations that will shatter them specifically"
