weird 

got headlessness on the brain today

or maybe on the lack of brain, since those are usually in heads and i don't have one of those

most fantasy series seem to have lizard people and cat people in addition to the usual humans and elves etc

Zelda has fish people, bird people, and rock people instead

also gecko people in one of the gameboy color games

The American kestrel:
Is it just a grey fox in disguise as a bird? :grey_fox:

I just remembered that there's a hunk of really expensive electronics currently en route to fly into the literal actual sun and just. just think about that for a moment. _wow._

I like MELF parts because no one ever remembers what the acronym actually stands for but everyone just says it's for "Most End up Lying on the Floor" because they roll off of everything and are never seen again.

Thinking about trans individuals of species with very noticeable dimorphism;

a trans doe who is very proud of her antlers and decorates them every day
a trans kangaroo guy who uses his pouch as a pocket
a trans peahen who shows off her tailfeathers
a trans bull who is perfectly happy with his lack of horns, because he tried prosthetics and they just kept getting in the way

So I just realized... wait, if you're coding to run well on a multitasking system with 4 MiB of total RAM without any support for swap... that's gotta do wonders for performance on modern stuff, given how expensive a cache miss is nowadays.

Many modern desktop CPUs have 4 MiB or more of L3 cache, and coding that tight means you *never miss*. Even some mobile CPUs have that much.

are you a robot or otherwise synthetic intelligence? do you love your friends? do you want a single emoji to express both of those things simultaneously?

Internal combustion engines are weird. Thousands of explosions per second, just to make your car go forward.

also please don't boost untagged stuff that should be tagged

tbt when Nvidia researchers trained a neural network to generate images of cats and from the internet-sourced input data it learned that Impact 24pt White is a defining characteristic of cats

for some reason we've gotten to watching zelda speedruns lately and I'm really curious: how does a *ess work anyway?

thought: image of a person eating a salad, captioned "man eating plant"
