  • He's completely ignoring social distancing rules, the shit!

  • 63% of Gen Z Would Rather Play Video Games Than Watch a Movie — GamerBlurb
  • Call me a grumpy old man but I'm not sure this is significant beyond "young people play (video) games". The report seems to show little difference in % of adults gaming between 2004 and 2024

  • Generative AI is reportedly tripling carbon dioxide emissions from data centers
  • Looks like Techradar misunderstood parts of the source story. The projected emissions over the next 10 years is equal to 40% of all US emissions. The Register

  • I want an AI TV that blocks all forms of advertising.
  • Ah yes, I've been waiting for an ad block that replaces an ad with 2 more ads

  • Have you ever tasted your pet's food?

  • Account security
  • Peak culture burn 10/10

  • I bet the one on the left doesn't even have a fake Swedish name.
  • Confirmation bias: all the shite furniture from 1800s has rotted to dust already

    Edit for full disclosure: I've exclusively bought antique furniture. I'm basically a shill for big-auction
