It really is an incredible litmus test for like, everything

(That is to say: they serve the same cultural/psychological purpose in a non-destructive way)

It's interesting how they serve as a modern proxy for war on generally small, local levels

Imagining President Jeffries in 9 months and feeling a frightful amount of euphoria

I shouldn't be remotely surprised by anything on the internet anymore, but "Bubsy drama" still managed to throw me for a loop

It really is 1:1 with calculators in classrooms - yeah, you can cheat with it and stop thinking, but you can also do so much more learning with it that there's a reason they're actually a requirement now

the fun part of this post is i think it’s supposed to be a dunk on @why.bsky.team but it’s actually just an excellent post and is representative of exactly what he wanted to achieve lmao

It actually wouldn't have sunk! The tragedy was that their evasive maneuvers ended up creating the perfect conditions for the iceberg to slice through a bunch of compartments at once, whereas a direct hit to one compartment could be taken like it was nothing

How many people are bigger fools in history as a whole? Like, I'm not kidding at all when I say that I really can't think of any off the top of my head - *maybe* Mussolini? Even Hitler looks like a level-headed strategic mastermind next to Trump

All time worst horse reply

i would be the Donald Duck of flashing heterosexual peasants

It's delightful watching authoritarians realize in real time that egalitarian, process-based liberal societies are actually better for everyone, INCLUDING themselves! They can't even do the shit they want in their way, because it always ends up collapsing

Between Piker and Platner, there's been an interesting trend lately of the worst members of the online left boosting horrible people into fame and relevancy, then backtracking as soon as they catch any heat for what's going on, claiming it was "the DNC" that was actually responsible

They should have made Mr. Mine the first Pokemon to go canonically extinct AND be unable to get revived by fossils

As someone with epilepsy, I've learned like many others that EEGs are unfortunately kind of a crap technology - they're super old, and they pretty much can't even detect structural faults unless you're actively seizing with one on

That makes it even worse!

DE

I still haven't played that game, but its fanbase (almost exclusively found on here and Twitter) is always making me more and more hesitant to try it

🗿

All they do is reply with pig shitnuts, tweet confidently about how all the followers of their social media fiefdom love Piss Lawyer's epic posts, and then make a joke about how awesome it is to drive drunk in their bio

Sometimes, I think that certain acceptable targets get memed as being especially horrible because people are insecure about listening to similar stuff - there's a hundred popular bands that sound just like Nickelback or even worse, but nobody ever complained about them lol

It really never fails that the best takes on this site are from people who have actual human display names and PFPs, and aren't irony poisoned jackasses like those sorts of accounts who just spread nonsense to their legions of followers

(Okay I know my own profile is a shitpost but bear with me)

What I anecdotally remember is that the CDC, in their infinite wisdom, decided to insist that "masking doesn't actually protect you, but it can protect other people from your sickness!" for all of 2020, which sowed the earliest seeds of COVID recklessness and denial

and they have the gall to call the democrats out of touch

You know that they would have been spammed as meme/shock content for decades too 🗿

Forsooth! The steed has spoken thusly:
Trip balls for to bring back Bob Dole

You gotta go totally non-sequitur, like Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey

O Horse, with me share thine wisdom of how one of sorcery wicked may revive the late Bob Dole

I'm not sure what the most interesting band of all time is, but I do know that their ideal antithesis is The Alan Parsons Project

The Democrats willfully nominated Joe Lieberman as their VP candidate in 2000! LIEBERMAN!!
