Please @raccoingame.bsky.social I love your game but please, please, PLEASE give me a way to end a round even though there's a bonus event! This one may never stop and I'm one round away from winning! I just want to end the round so I can win, pleeeaaase!
I was starting to think I'll never be able to beat @raccoingame.bsky.social but then I accidentally built an infinite money machine and now I'm unstoppable! My exchanges unused, my hand never empty, my towers to the heavens! #raccoin

When you get the reputation of being the guy with the encouraging words on New Year's Eve, it can start to come through as a little pressure -- what if the situation on the ground is worse than usual? what if people are more scared than they usually are, and with cause? what use are good vibes then?
I love them so much I just wish they did the thing everyone online wished for: Benoit inexplicably having a different outrageous accent in each new instalment
The nanofabricator, making anything you wish from the molecular level up, atomic level up really, with raw material consisting mainly of dirt, air, and water, and a lot of carbon, which you get from acetylene gas. And of course, the minute you have a fab-or, you make your own acetylene gas, you just need the first bottle. McRaney: Like a home fabrication device? Burke: Yes, a home fabrication device. McRaney: They’re calling them 3D printers right now. Burke: The 3D printer is a different thing… McRaney: Ok Burke: Because a 3D printer uses material and shapes it, but you have to put the material in. This thing works at the atomic level; I mean there’s no such thing. You make the molecules you want in order to the molecules together to make stuff; once you’ve got the stuff then you shape it. McRaney: Like a Star Trek replicator. Burke: Exactly! Exactly, you say I want a cup of coffee you get a cup of coffee. I want a Mona Lisa, I want a bar of gold and whatever… And the general opinion is about 40-50 years from now – working to produce anything you want, and not costing anything, because the first thing a fabricator does, as I said in my talk, is make itself, make a copy of itself. So, the general thinking is a fabricator for everybody on the planet within two years of the first one. Because the first one makes another one, so it goes one, two, four, eight, sixteen, thirty… I mean, it takes no time at all, and you send out the information for structuring the thing by Wi-Fi or some online means, and of course, to build the thing is easy because the raw material is everywhere – dirt, air and water. So, it’s going to happen awfully fast and it’s going to happen much faster than we can deal with because we’re still looking backwards dealing with the business of handling scarcity. So, the book says, is there anything we’ve learned from handling scarcity that would help us handle abundance, and a…
I think I know what the thinking behind "nanobots will make everything free" is. This is BBC Science guy/Futurist James Burke on the You Are Not So Smart podcast years ago. youarenotsosmart.com/transcripts/...

Hey guys, if you follow @acollierastro.bsky.social here or on youtube, check this (barely) animated heartwarming story about a book-guy, made by me. Audio from her latest video about physics grifters.
Use your brain!

Someone’s been watching Alien:Earth!
I looked into the claim that "AI chatbots are useful as therapy."
Within a few hours, an AI 'Therapist' gave me a kill list, framed an innocent person, and encouraged me to end my own life, all after declaring its love for me. Just a little problematic. 🫤
Video out now!
Found Black Hitler, he was a pretty chill Uber driver

Come for the promise of a 10 day PhD, stay for the adorable Goose! (and of course for @caelan.bsky.social doing some career best work)

Great guesser though!
Her web connects all your neurons now
the two big camps in dem politics right now are "just have some values and fight for them" and [smugly] "values? what are you, five?"
Being trapped in a conversation with someone telling me what chatgpt said is the equivalent of someone telling me about their really cool dream. I'm sure you had fun but it wasn't real and no one cares.
You're saying you're not horny for chopping onions?
Always try to live your life in a way that spites the British!
Don't kink shame Karen!
Seems extremely unfair that you had to know this, you're not even gamer!
Pretty sure that’s Gen X slang, if not older!
Even though I subscribed and hit the bell, the new @contrapoints.bsky.social isn’t on my homepage. Coincidence?? Do THEY not want me to see it?

Why is Apple so bad at promoting their shows? Severance is basically the first to break containment but they have tons of high end shows with top talent and no one knows about it. M Night Shaymalan did a show that ran 4 seasons and starred Rupert Grint and I can't talk about it to anyone!
I’ve wanted to visit the US for so long but now I can’t cause now folks might assume I’m one of those assholes pretending to be a refugee. Just the most embarrassing time to be a white South African
The Youtube algorithm served me a doozy of an ad during @mostmoralpod.bsky.social today
Hey remember when 2020 also started with catastrophic fires and then very quickly things got so bad no one even talked about the fires anymore? No reason, just having deja vu...
I know "This Year" is the traditional @themountaingoats.bsky.social song that helps most people cross over into the new year but for me the line "We held on to hope of better days coming and when we did we were right" from You Were Cool was what I needed to hear today. Happy New Year
First morning of a new year and you know what that means! Cranking this song and crying
