relatable rule
  • i continue to believe that the whole concept of zoomer brain rot is almost entirely perpetuated by outside media as clickbait engagement farming.
    Some of it has existed for like decades now and people suddenly act as if it's horrid new slang, like "locked in" is fucking ancient and "chat"/"clip that" are just stuff all streamers say. It's no different than using sailing or theatre terms.

  • Why is my GPS so terrible?!
  • also most devices nowadays and even for a fair while now support other systems too: galilei, GLONASS, beidou, etc. The broad term for GPS-like systems is GNSS.

  • 80% of your gas money goes out the tailpipe
  • It's basically the former: the radiation given off by the atoms breaking apart triggers more fission when it bumps into other unstable atoms, which just keeps compounding if you have a bunch of fuel in one place until it gets REALLY hot and melts.
    To prevent the meltdown you put control rods throughout the fuel which absorb the excess radiation and keep the fuel at useful temperature, roughly like how a fuse is built to burn at a consistent speed rather than simply exploding.

  • 80% of your gas money goes out the tailpipe
  • it's a classic case of one implementation of a concept being really good, but for some utterly baffling reason everyone tries the shitty implementation of the concept instead and so everyone discounts the whole thing as a bad idea.

    drinking water is a good idea, but for some reason everyone only tries drinking dirty puddle water and conclude that water gives you parasites.

  • I redid the meme with what hurts me
  • python is IMO the closest thing we have to a platonic ideal scripting language: it's pseudocode that actually runs and you can just slap together libraries with minimal mental effort until it works.
    Great for gently getting into programming so you quickly see results without having to learn arcane incantations, and for writing small tool programs; not so great for writing a kernel in.

  • Animals that use Drugs
  • honestly basically any animal that eats fruit will end up drunk at some point, a classic children's story here in sweden has a scene where their chickens get drunk, and it's pretty regular fare to hear about moose getting drunk on fermented apples from peoples' back yards.

  • Heads up, We might want to Avoid updating to 0.19.6 for the time being
  • i love this kind of thing, why bother doing your sole job correctly? fuck it, this png image is a word document, who cares! also we're delivering it as a binary blob so you have to use clientside js to unpack it.

  • Found on the zuckerverse
  • every single part of it is perfectly legible, i don't even have to strain my eyes

  • Hummingbird Moths
  • i want to live in a world where all insects ended up fluffy and cute like these moths and bumblebees are.

  • Hummingbird Moths
  • but also evolution can be fucking horrifying: barnacles are crustaceans, slice them in half and you see a twisted gross crablike thing inside the shell.

  • I regret everything
  • "Fool, i can only be defeated by having the blade stabbed through my heart! As you are unworthy, you cannot kill me!"

    a single crack loudly appears in the stone, the villain stares in shock, after a suspenseful pause the stone starts rapidly cracking further apart until it all falls off to reveal a gleaming flawless blade

    "No! How can this be?! Have your journeys made you worthy?"

    villain is stabbed to death yada yada yada.. after the protagonist gathers themself the blade suddenly sinks into the ground and they pull it out with a chunk at the end again. The power behind the blade starts talking to the protagonist

    "Yeah no sorry, you're still not worthy, but eh fuck it it's been 500 years and that shithead needed to die, sorry to dissapoint. Please leave the sword somewhere accessible when you're done with it yeah?"

  • americano rule
  • i bleed blue, sometimes i piss white, and i shit red

    i am a crustacean with poor sexual education and bowel damage

  • Mood
  • attention control deficit

  • be flipping for rule
  • hi can you please censor that slur?

  • Bonus rule
  • vrog

  • Terrified friends burn to death trapped in Tesla as doors won't open after crash
  • this is why electric locks should NOT be relied on for safety: electric locks MUST default open when something goes wrong, which means that picking them is as easy as making them malfunction or cutting the power.

  • Lounge

    A place to hang out and talk about things not strictly related to climate.
