I found myself unwittingly squeezing my co-laborers’ hands in it, mistaking their hands for the gentle globules.

"How can it blanatly be the same song if it has different notes?" Then I played the audio. "Oh."

Certain models of the 2003 Motorola MPx200 clamshell phone contained a ringtone that was blatantly just the "Fever" theme from Dr. Mario with different notes.

me (posting on the neopets role playing forum): it’s actually funny how this has become such an unserious space for neopians. it’s losing neopoints, will never be relevant, and is seen as a joke among the neopets battledome forum

The weaver-god, he weaves; and by that weaving is he deafened, that he hears no mortal voice

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

Great question!

It’s not just about whether or not the gyre is widening – its that the falcon cannot hear the Falconer. In today’s blood-dimmed world, it’s a game-changer that many don’t consider.

The kicker? A beast that is rough, slouching, and born.

One of the best to ever do it

i cant believe they didnt include an "i hate sand" moment

Alice cooper scooping the food off a child's plate back into the serving tray

Reminder: This has been debunked. he was scooping the food back into the tray

will never forget the first time bari weiss showed up on my radar

i think its really good and i love jason schwartzman and i normally love what wes anderson does with him BUT i think his casting is the weak link. i just never buy him as this closed off 1950s father for some reason. maybe just the like "these eyes have seen an air fryer" thing

Dracula and Richter in the intro of Symphony of the Night. Dracula's dialogue reads "Grok, do an epic vulgar roast of this miserable little pile of secrets".

i think we're probably both talking past each other a bit, sorry for externally processing at you, didnt really direct it at you, i just wanted to get my thoughts out.

I imagine it more like all of those resources from the OP are being used not to generate but to direct and control that hatred and fear, orienting it along the dimensions that maintain existing power structures and hierarchies... I guess there's no way to really know, though

its a nice thought but to assume conflict and strife and anger and fear are just imposed on us from a state of tranquility and love... i dont know, to me, its very human to have that capacity and maybe even a drive to seek out conflict, struggle, pain

I really shudder to think what sorts of programs are currently installed and what sort of remote access is currently possible on government IT systems for independent, anonymous actors whose only qualifying factor seemed to have been an ambition to the sort of greed and power represented by Musk

A screenshot of Sonic Adventure for Dreamcast. A subtitle reads "Sonic Adventure manages to include not one... not two... but countless of those elusive 'gaming moments.'"

gaming magazines used to be so true........

The Steam Controller has some tough competition

abolish all gendered bathrooms

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

I think I've just fully turned around on it. We were wrong to make fun of boomers, they should be called Dumbphones, its actually just fine to make art where a prisoner's ball and chain has the instagram, facebook, and twitter logos...

Holy Sundae

I'm always saying this

This just feels very weirdly specific

How do you know this?

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

i do this to
