I just got out of a meeting that might as well have been sitting in a dark room listening to a lightly encrypted number station for all the good it did. It sounded like the presenters were underwater, and I could barely make out a word any of them said. X3

I was just asked: "Would you sell your pants for otter paws?"
I replied (because what else could I say): "Hell yes! I'd just wear skirts instead!"

They don't know they are all crazy. All 7 billion of them. Every Terran possesses a complex organic computer suspended in fluid and enclosed in [calcium]. It is literally so complex that it doesn't shut off when they [sleep]. And every one is structurally incapable of distinguishing fantasy from reality.

That is what makes them so powerful. They can look at the universe in all of its totally and just… dismiss it. Dream a new one to take its place, and be so convinced, they make it real.

my favorite prank is to put

echo "sleep 0.1" >> ~/.bashrc

at the end of someone's .bashrc. Every time they open a new shell, it'll get slower by a tenth of a second and they'll never know why.

I am unreasonably proud of this.

Thank you @typhlosion for the idea and for running with it :D

hot shake 

It's just flavored cream in a glass

Maybe with some solid stuff on the bottom

work, coding 

There are 3 types of release ready

1) It works well, is efficient, passes rigorous QA and is ready for production

2) It works and you're proud enough of your implementation to offer to share it with other coders

3) Other coders have expressed interest in using your code and thus it must be rewritten from the ground up to be ABSOLUTELY PERFECT

game idea:

you're a soft-spoken and forgetful expands-in-water dinosaur sponge in the distant, arid future

you're in a dessicated stasis when a still-running social markov bot posts 'meds reminder' to a media feed in your vicinity, spurring you to roll/waddle your way to all the nearest water sources to keep hydrated, lest you fall back into capsule stasis. you do this out of a desire to find the bot that reinvigorated your spirit and express your delicate, absorbent gratitude

Hey, agender people? Could you send me the genders you're not using anymore? I have... a project in mind for them.

She always dried herself off from the feet up after a shower, because otherwise the roots would grow too quickly. If she toweled off from her head down, her rootlets would begin sprouting as soon as they touched the matted, tangled fibers of the bathmat. Her feet would mistake their surroundings and all the water dripping down them for a place to grow, to stretch out her own tangles and attach her in place. She would need to painfully trim them back before she could leave for work.

So uh, if you're ever looking for something mindlessly fun to watch with a friend but aren't into sports, HAVE I GOT THE THING FOR YOU youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-R

This is so beautiful. >.< Serious and beautiful discussion of trauma in a video game, where the game (and the discussion) actually gets it right.

My hobby: quickly typing nonsense status messages during the pauses between real status messages during a console script run

Programming is like a murder mystery where you're the victim, and also the detective, and also the murderer as it turns out.
