Websites: Then vs Now
  • Landing pages, too. Often with a corny Shockwave animation.

  • Stephen King leaves X, describing atmosphere as ‘too toxic’
  • Also, good guy St. Pauli. They are also currently transforming into a co-op which is unique in German soccer. TRAILBLAZERS!

  • Elon Musk's new 'department' seeks 'super high-IQ' staff for unpaid jobs
  • My first thought was spies... because they are already on someone else's payroll.
    Also, bootlickers and extremely desperate people that would take on any job.

  • same as it ever was
  • Ok, boomer Agreed, dark ager.

  • same as it ever was
  • Hmm. Interesting, indeed. Now please excuse me while I, once again, sacrifice my own bodily fluids on the modern-age altar of fertility which has been optimized over ages and ages into the convenient shape of a... sock.

  • People born after 2000 have never seen the cosmic microwave background on their TV set.
  • DAE remember that movie White Noise? The climax was fucking horrifying and I have to admit that it haunted me for quite a while.
    For better or worse, kids today probably won't get it.

  • Have you tried not having a smashed hand?
  • I'm very sorry for you.
    FWIW, I had the totally opposite experience. Went to the nearest GP with no appointment, rattled down a long list of physical symptoms, then a long list of things that currently distress me. You could almost hear it click when they connected the dots. Got the good stuff immediately and it changed everything. Maybe it's something to do with socialized medicine (I live in Europe), IDK.

  • Not Healthy
  • So, everything north of the Alps, basically? That doesn't sound right to me. I tried a vitamin D pill once but it gave me a rash immediately, which is a sign of overdosing.

  • I wonder how many of these paths on my university campus were desire paths originally
  • That reminds me of three cities I used to frequent. You could predict their economic and political situation based on the way desire paths were being handled.

    • Place 1: poor, left-wing. Nothing, the desire paths were left alone.
    • Place 2: rich, left-wing. Desire paths were nicely paved over.
    • Place 3: rich, right-wing. They placed big branches on a desire path to block it. After people started climbing over them, they fell a tree on it.
  • It was so simple!
  • A saying where I'm from goes something like: "To get old, eat soup for 100 years."

  • What song did you love until you found out what it was about?
  • Wait until you find out about "Stray Cat Blues."

  • What song did you love until you found out what it was about?
  • Nuttin No Go So
    The original "football moves" clip went viral a long time ago, and the song goes along well with it. Took me a while to understand just how awfully reactionary the lyrics are.

  • Sacrifice
  • First trillionaire when?

  • What's the point of reading aloud the digits of the golden mean and recording the whole damn thing?

    LibriVox is otherwise pretty normal, but this has me puzzled. The CD (!) case insert says: "Read by Justin Barrett, braindouche, Cow Nose the 50 Pound Cat, Sibella Denton, Esther, and Andrew Lebrun. Total running time: 00:54:13." Seems insane to me. Why put the whole reading on a CD? Why 5000 digits? Why are there no chapters? What if they made a mistake? Did they double-check the result? Who needs any of that anyway?

    Grandma has a great sense of humor
  • Nice, she got a facelift and dyed her hair black.

  • pump up the jamz
  • We Interrupt This Programme
    (Yeah, I'm oldschool like that)

  • Drop your most "wtf that's not how the world works" from movies/tv shows.
  • Next you'll be telling me that "So, how often do you flick the bean?" is not a great pickup line.

  • I become one with nature
  • These days, what's an ashtray in a car for if you can't fill it with couscous.

  • Not likely to be AI-generated or Deepfake
  • We get them a lot around here. They don't make for good pets, but they keep the borogoves at bay.

  • Anon gives up dating apps
  • Church events work fine, too. My buddy and me went to one in a damp basement and it was about 30 people. 100% women. Average age about 22 I guess. All were dancing. They all immediately started staring at us as if we were edible. Within the hour, my buddy met what would soon become his GF, and I was approached by this amazing girl. I then went on a string of remarkable dates with her.
    The kicker: It was a Christian event, but the girls we hooked up with weren't Christians at all.

  • Hab' meine Ausgabe

    Noch eingeschrumpft, bin sehr gespannt. Der Laika-Verlag ist zwar bankrott gegangen, der Buchverkauf geht jedoch weiter, solange der Vorrat reicht.

    My MorphOS desktop

    During the pandemic, this was, in fact, my main computer's desktop. Bonus: SimpleFind screenshot. Isn't it the greatest finder program of all time?
