  • All of these have very real physical effects, and human life cannot exist without them.

  • TIL that the Māori word for autism is "Takiwātanga" meaning "their own time and space." I also learned that it's not without controversy (see inside).
  • This happened to me for years until I finally found a trick that works for me, which is that anos sounds more similar to anus than años.

  • Massive update to Caves of Qud brings fully native gamepad and Steam Deck support
  • Honestly I prefer it, once you get used to it and maybe tweak one or two things to your preference, it just feels super natural and smooth.

  • Happy Halloween! Share your favorite scary movie suggestions!
  • Gotta mention The Thing (1982). Impeccable cinematography, sounds, colors, everything. Practical effects that are still unsettling today, and good old fashioned "humans are not enough and never will be" horror.

  • Anon Goes to College
  • Mamma mia!

  • Supposed Steam Deck killers are missing the point
  • You may want to look into that... mine sleeps for a day or two at least typically.

  • Wanting to move out of the US?
  • Honestly, I can't give you the info you need as I haven't lived in Alberta... But it does have a reputation for being the most right wing Christian part of Canada, so compared to Oregon I'd say it might be a downgrade

  • Wanting to move out of the US?
  • Corruption here (Canada) still happens federally and especially at the provincial level (like Doug Ford, which has many blatant examples and faces no consequences). Municipally (county level) I have not noticed as much, and my municipality seems to have a great local government that functions well... I've even spoken up and had a small issue resolved with little effort.

    However I think you'll find if that kinda stuff grinds your gears you'll still have a better time in Canada than the US, despite the problems (and we do have problems).

  • Wanting to move out of the US?
  • As an Ontarian I also gotta say the bit about the premiers is also spot on.

  • looking for recommendations - non-horny
  • Whoa thank you! Sounds really promising I'll definitely give it a try!

  • The more I think about it, the more the 5 minute car commercial in Barbie bugs me.
  • This also came across well whenever someone tossed clothing off the railing.

  • Looking for a new car under $20,000? Good luck. Your choice has dwindled to just one vehicle
  • Lol apparently having AC in your car is a privilege and not a basic feature... It's 2023 and it's just getting hotter, I want AC sorry

  • Recursion
  • Or it keeps doubling even well after its surpassed the human population, and we all have to keep hitting "pass" in turns forever, and if even a single person gives up then boom.

  • A funneling system i made to keep my automatic dog feeders topped off.
  • Thank you I super appreciate it 😁😁😁

  • Ok vacation for a couple weeks, ttyl folks

  • I've got a wopet feeder for my cat and would kill for the STLs for the legs and chute lol (but please ofc don't feel obligated to share them free or otherwise). Same reason as you, so I can have it dump into a puzzle feeder.

    Anyway, amazing work, any chance a guy can obtain some of your STL files?

  • Humans, apparently, throw like gods
  • Additionally being bipedal means that as we run our breathing rate is separate from our gait. As four legged animals gallop the motion of their running expands and contracts their diaphragm, forcing them to breath at the same rate they run at.

    Since they can't sweat like us, or breath like us, they have to stop running and start panting in order to cool down.

    While humans can just keep going, relentlessly, like the It Follows monster.

  • Humans, apparently, throw like gods
  • I'm not sure how you're getting that impression. The quote you put there doesn't show up in the paper even once, and in fact if you search for "aimed throwing" you'll see several instances where they discuss the aimed throwing accuracy of the monkeys. Even in just the abstract there's a few places where they make it clear the monkeys are aiming (and additionally that's what they were measuring).

    For both species we found positive correlations between target distances for throwing accuracy, direction and strength of hand preference, percentage of bipedal vs tripedal throws, and percentage of overarm vs underarm throws.

    In fact, they go so far as to clearly state that the monkey throwing is a suitable model of human throwing, meaning that the way they throw is similar enough to us that we can actually learn about ourselves from it.

    We believe that the capuchin monkey is an informative nonhuman primate model of aimed throwing in humans and that research examining the throwing behavior of capuchins provides insight into the neurological and behavioral characteristics that underlie coordinated multi-joint movements across the primate order.

    Anyway, that's all the time I'm gonna spend on this mythbusting lol.

  • "cellscape" (working title) - doesn't look like much but I finally have moss growing lol

    Anime @kbin.social aebrer @kbin.social

    looking for recommendations - non-horny

    You heard me. I honestly love anime, and even a bit of horniness is fine, but as I watch more and more and run out of "mainstream" things to watch, I find myself in the same situation over and over:

    I watch the first few episodes of an anime and then it reveals some unpleasant tropes, often involving either lack of consent, minors, or both.

    So I'm just looking for your top 3 anime suggestions that DON'T include loli/misogyny content.

    Bonus points for isekai because I love that shit.

    Edit: example of an amazing one - "Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill"

    "noise" - WIP on TIC80

    gif preview link: https://imgur.com/iCyF2U2

    Part of my "noise" series, it's just noise. Sorry if the gif upload is screwy, it's hard to share large gif files here.

    Working on this, having a lot of fun trying to balance the glitchiness with the organic vibes.

    pico_punk_generator_generator.p8 - an interactive pfp generator

    www.fxhash.xyz pico_punk_generator_generator.p8 — fxhash

    Welcome to the ultimate pico_punk generator! This interactive token is a parameter based generator that creates unique pico_punk generators. Each one will generate one pico_punk with a number of layer

    Welcome to the ultimate pico\_punk generator! This interactive token is a parameter based generator that creates unique pico\_punk generators. Each one will generate one pico\_punk with a number of layers chosen by you during the parameter selection phase. Additionally, you can use the buttons to navigate the generative space, and create your own pico\_punks via an interactive process of discovery. This is the final pico\_punk generator I intend to make, with the extra capabilities added by the parameter selection process, and the final tweaks and changes I made to the appearances and effects, I think this project is now as complete as I can ever make it.

    The controls:

    • arrow keys: move through the generative space... each step adds one layer to the composition
    • x button: take a screenshot of the generated pico\_punk
    • o button: clear all layers except the current one (clean slate for building a new pico\_punk)

    Each layer has a chance to apply one of various visual effects, which vary in how transformative (or disruptive) they are.

    Click the "params" button on fxhash to play with the setttings and configure your own generator.

    Utility II - inspired by "Hop Picker Watch" by Grégoire Sage

    Discover the latest artworks and collectibles on the largest marketplace on Tezos.

    This is my second "Utility" token. Like the first one, it is also a clock. It tells the time, which is very useful. This clock layout is based on my favorite pebble watch-face: "Hop Picker Watch" by Grégoire Sage https://apps.rebble.io/en\_US/application/52f2c9ddab54ff806f000088

    What I like about telling time this way is that it is intentionally imprecise. You don't need to know the exact time, this is good enough, and at a glace you get everything you need. This is the perfect amount of entropy for telling time.

    The background is animated, and uses entropy locking to create colorful noise on the screen. The seed changes every minute and so does the animation.

    Reading the time: the hand indicates the hour + minute position on a 12h clock. Dots are placed every 15 minutes, large dots on the hour. The number close to the center of the clock is the day of the month (eg. 3 in the thumbnail image).

    (click the link to run the clock in fullscreen, it's animated and actually works as a clock lol)

    "When modeling a system, it should be as minimally detailed as required to be maximally useful for its intended purpose."

    This is an article I wrote in 2019 about modeling and entropy. It's something I consider daily as I work on modeling in the drug discovery space.
