If you think about it, quite a lot of things have happened.

*eats a videocasette*

okay so self-driving cars are neat and all but hear me out: what if, instead of all that effort making an expensive car that drives itself, just hire people to drive cars for you

you can make them really big cars that fit a lot of people too, and that way you need fewer cars on the street which means less traffic and less pollution

I don't know why no one has thought of this before--oh wait 🚌

you ever see a temperature and think "aaaaa" and then realize oh that's fahrenheit, that only deserves an "aa"

blrf, not feeling up to going out and don't have stuff in the apartment to eat. time to order pizza i guess

what is "la noire" that I keep seeing people talk about anyway

@starkatt Why do they do that, do you know?

I hate that people will take advantage of others like this. the victims don't even realize that they're being taken advantage of, because they're convinced that it's the medical/scientific/whatever community at large taking advantage of them, and they can be enlightened to the secret truth or whatever nonsense they choose to use

it's like cult rhetoric or something

https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/438342/would-this-module-serve-the-intended-purpose-of-hulda-clarks-zapper the question in question, incidentally

I really detest people who take advantage of the gullible and desperate by making some kind of sciencey-sounding nonsense and selling it to people for $ridiculous

now I see someone asking on stackexchange basically for the best way to electrocute themself because some snake oil salesperson claims that it's good for you or something--and they're extremely convinced that it works because they've "used it already with impressive results"

chocobos are cute

I just realized this cw says "a things" instead of "a thing"

The sun will rise tomorrow

"three and pi quarters" is an amusing phrase and i'm not quite sure why

I love that you can just take fundamental constants and easily-memorized numbers and jam them together into approximations of things

69^π^√5 is a good approximation of Avagadro's number, for example

or that there are three and pi quarters liters in a gallon

(a bunch more: https://xkcd.com/1047/ )

also the word hnefatafl is fun

I like old germanic consonant clusters, they're neat

do you ever just.. think about how weird pomegranates are

the reconstructed rules sound like a really interesting strategy game to play and I'd love to try it
