re: assign a pokemon to me (poll pt 2) 

@LexYeen Results so far: Unsurprising. Other than that i thnk you would make a good absol and apparently few people agree

@fluffy if it's any reassurance, it would take more energy than we have right now to explain why in detail but it makes perfect sense to us (an electrical engineer who've been studying this for 10 years and doing it as a job for 2) that plugging in the charger to your scope would affect this

as for the esd messing with electronics, yeah that's a bit strange. i don't know the severity of the effects or what's being affected other than the examples you gave, so i can't say much more though

@fluffy Seeing the 60 Hz signal on your fingers is just because you're surrounded by 60 Hz radiation at all times, and large bags of mostly-water (i.e. living things) tend to be fairly decent antennas at low frequencies

@fluffy Speaking as someones who use an oscilloscope very regularly, measuring a 60 Hz signal on your fingers is 100% normal and expected, and entirely unrelated to static electricity.

the stove zapping you is 0% normal and expected, and should absolutely be fixed

screenshot of weird youtube recommendation 

why is youtube recommending this to us? why is this even a video?? this is like the least video-able thing

the Hearth :ms_agender_flag: boosted

neat worldbuilding concept that just came to mind:

A building that is actually several buildings occupying the same space, all their doors perfectly aligned, the buildings just slightly xyrd of one another

looking up, you might see three skyscrapers at once with different types of otherworldly architecture, apparently sticking out the top of a cozy ski lodge (there aren't any mountains for miles, but it has other exits) that's also a brutalist office building converted into a library

@Aether ah, we've always just known you on here! didn't know you were even on there

@DarkOverord oh! didn't know yyou had *two* now, that's weird

like we said, we've been using something else snice before the snipping tool existed, so we've never used it
-F

@DarkOverord we've been using sharex since before the snipping tool existed, maybe give that a try?

@relee Here seems like a good place to start--reach out to people who are iinvolved in that kind of stuff and ask.

We've also seen a lot of interesting discussion in some of the channels on the postfurry discord server.

pokemon sv 

this game having multiple tracks for wild battle music really threw us off there

we just wandered into a new area, encountered a level 50 pokemon we'd never seen before when everything else nearby, including our pokemon, was level 30-ish, and special music started playing

we thought we'd found a roaming legendary just by pure chance, as in all the previous games that was the only case you'd get new wild music and roaming legendaries are nearly always found at exactly level 50

re: Video game thought | I'm not sure if I'm responding to a joke or a serious question sorry 

@BatElite @heatherhorns you are in fact responding to a serious question
-F

just encountered a really interesting thought in a matt parker video: how much money would you have if every person in the world contributed 1 of their local currency? so US$1 from every USian, £1 from every UKian, €1 from every EUian, ¥1 from every JPian, and so on
