- Comment on Virtual Boy: Nintendo Classics - Announcement Trailer 2 days ago:
I am maybe in the minority around here. I am excited to play around with these games. Also, even though the narrator says you need to buy the accessory, I suspect the Labo thing or any of the cheap Switch VR headsets will do the trick, and that’s what I’m intending to use.

Good lord, they do look just like my husband and me. I’m going to use this and a photo of us to make a “they’re the same picture” meme.
- Comment on Good for plants 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think the infrequent vibrations would contribute much to stem hardening. Granted, I’m not convinced the directly talking to plants thing contributes significantly to carbon monoxide harvesting. Just set up two USB powered fans that turn on and off every now and then. The gas you release as you sing My Humps from the kitchen will reach them.

Oh, no, this is the next big startup fad, isn’t it?
- Comment on Good for plants 3 weeks ago:
I thought the singing to plants thing was all about the directly breathing carbon dioxide onto them.

My favourite take on this meme is “when your friend won’t lend you his copy of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji”. Sikh writs.

Back in my day, PAC-Man ghosts stayed perfectly still, exhibiting no behaviour at all and that’s how we Lemmy people liked it!

Do not test us or we will throw you in Saskatchewan! A fate worse than death and — now that you ask — no, there is no escape. You will pray to the god who has forgotten you to be released to hell. Spoiler alert: you will wake up in Saskatchewan.

Someone called out the name “Archie” and I turned around to see who wanted my attention. Call me whatever you want; it apparently doesn’t matter.

I am the gayest gay who ever was a gay. And I apparently own these things now. In solidarity with the goons! Freedom!
- Comment on TIL that Eurasian brown bear (Ursus arctos arctos) is the bearest of all bears – "ursus" means bear, and "arctos" also means bear, so the scientific name translates to "Bear bear bear" 1 month ago:
If it’s black, you’re a snack.
If it’s brown, you’re going to Stomach Town.
If it’s white, uhh, you’re a Turkish delight.
Basically, stay away from all bears, if possible.

Black bears: they are bears, yes, and could kill me in a single swipe if they wanted to. Thankfully (and hilariously) they are so timid. I (a not intimidating person) raise my voice and say “hey, go!” And they run.
Grizzly bears, I used to think were scary. And they are. What I am getting at is that they are more territorial than human-eaty. Give them space. Give them as much space as you can. They will growl and grunt but they will not really want to bother with you.
Polar bears are nightmares. The blood on white fur doesn’t help their image. They will kill anything. They move so quick and quietly.
- Comment on Privacy apps Signal, Brave, and AdGuard push back against Windows Recall 1 month ago:
AdGuard puts this nonsense at the bottom of their spam emails instead of an unsubscribe button. This is not account related; it is spam.

I’m going to do the Harlem shake at a David Bowie concert!

I am looking forward to the muck. None of this is even confirmed but I am excited and comforted by the thoughts of being soaked in blood and semen and feces.

My weekend is not officially over but it functionally is. I have been talking with interesting people for a bit.

Yes, that one.
SKA?

I am going to wear a thrift store black shirt and buy a white shirt when I get there. Thank you, friendo.
- Comment on Solar powered personal umbrella with battery? 1 month ago:
Umbrellas are used in sunshine and are often called parasols. It’s not a bad form factor, it just seems to have practical limitations, like being foldable and still useful. Love the idea, though.
Japan is ready. Other places can be made ready. It isn’t hard to prepare people for bikes or whatever. Solar panels on everything are potentially a good idea. I only worry that my umbrellas do not last.

It is sort of my understanding that they were not really a band as much as they are a franchise. The music being second fiddle is fine with me. God, this is terrible. Still excited. Woo!

What have I done?
- Comment on I may have a chance to see GWAR later this year; what should I know before going? 1 month ago:
Pretty sure it is GWAR and then I should probably put an exclamation point after it.
- Comment on I may have a chance to see GWAR later this year; what should I know before going? 1 month ago:
Maybe I will just buy a shirt. If it does stain, I might put it on display.
“In this room, I keep my white t-shirt soaked in blood, cum, and feces. And over here is the veranda”.

My phone autocorrected it to all caps so I know I have stumbled on to a big deal.

So it washes out or should I not wear a light coloured shirt I am in love with?
- Comment on I may have a chance to see GWAR later this year; what should I know before going? 1 month ago:
I am not much of a concert person, but I am really hoping I do get to go to this one. I have been aware of them forever; never heard their music before today. It’s… the most mediocre metal I have ever heard. But to be fair, I am obviously going for the performance and pageantry more than anything else.
