God, I wish Nintendo made the Pokemon games, because then they might actually not be ugly, terribly optimized garbage. Nintendo owns a minority share of The Pokemon Company, which is also owned by Game Freak and a company called Creatures. Each company takes care of different aspects of the franchise. Game Freak still does all the game development, and I wish they wouldn’t because they obviously don’t care about the franchise anymore and haven’t for quite a while.

(snatch is a euphemism for vagina)

Another great one is seitan aka wheat meat, and it’s really cheap if you make it from flour rather than vital wheat gluten. Still pretty cheap if made from vital wheat gluten too.

Open to investigation: no

Open to sucking up your work and personal information: absolutely!

We need a catchy name for it… maybe Older Male Sibling?

Lmao, did the AI think the end of Trump’s gun was a burnt out cigarette?

Anyone who has been a pedestrian is also well acquainted with this. Cars watch for and expect other cars, not people (bikes, mopeds, etc). The amount of times I’ve almost been hit by someone who is staring intently at oncoming traffic and flooring it without looking anywhere else is too damn high.

It’s okay, the internet drought is over, we don’t have to ration posts anymore.

Even if you perfectly solve crashes (doubtful, definitely not something that exists right now), the problems of microplastic pollution from tires and emissions from electricity generation are non-trivial.

Why even lock it if the code is on the door?

God bless all the bots and brainless fucks cheering this clown into the championships of self made problems.

This is someone moving furniture to sell I’m pretty sure, not homeless with their only furniture. Unless they have like 6 couches for some reason.

A bot that just spams the media ratings of some random dude is so incredibly a techbro non-solution to the actual problem of people posting questionable sources. Not only does it not stop people from posting questionable sources to begin with, it creates a bunch of off topic chatter about the rating itself. So now instead of just removing poor sources, poor sources get a comment that probably 90% of people voting aren’t going to see. This is somehow progress, despite changing nothing.

SFG’s marketing director said that as things stand farmers in Iceland are not managing to keep up with surging consumer demand, but said she hopes supply will be back to normal “in a week or so”.

Wow, sounds serious.

Ms Sveinsdóttir from the SFG also expressed some scepticism, suggesting other factors were at play. Some cucumber farmers replace their cucumber plants at this time of year, which are not yet producing large amounts, she said.

In addition to this, schools are returning from the summer holidays, which puts additional pressure on supplies.

“Everything is happening at the same time,” Ms Sveinsdóttir observed, but said the social media trend remained one of the main contributing factors.

“This is the first time we have experienced something like this,” Ms Sveinsdóttir said, adding that had the TikTok trend become popular earlier in the summer, “when the [cucumber] production was in full blast” and the shortage would not have been noticeable.

Wow, the Chinese propaganda is so sophisticated! They must have known about all these factors in advance to be able to minorly inconvenience people who want a salad for a whole week. 🙄

Probably also the record for ‘getting people you have shot in the face to apologize to you on TV’. It only happened once, but it was still weird.

edit: fuck me I’m getting old, that was Dick Cheney.

Poop will sink unless it has enough fiber, gas, or fat (all lighter than water) in it to make it buoyant. Sinking is the norm for me.

I’m convinced this is the explanation behind any success these people have trying to pull this shit. Straight up “I’m not paid enough to deal with this.”

Is this why there was a huge influx of Brazilians to Bluesky not long ago?

It’s honestly shocking how different he is now in speeches. He still came off as a sleaze bag 30 years ago, but not someone I would assume is functionally illiterate.
