- Comment on Sea snail teeth top Kevlar, titanium as world’s strongest material 1 day ago:
The mineral in question (goethite - yup, named after the poet Goethe) is iron III oxide and hydroxide. It’s 5~5.5 hardness in the Mohs scale, so it’s softer than glass. The snail teeth is probably combining the goethite strains with proteins to make it so hard. I wonder if we couldn’t sub the proteins with kevlar or another para-aramid to create something similar.

- Comment on Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads 1 week ago:
Welcome to real life: advertisement is seen as filth. People might tolerate it in exchange for something else, but being “targetted” doesn’t make them less filthy; on the contrary, once you get how it’s being targetted at the expense of your privacy, comparing it with dog shit becomes unfair - because dog shit is less worse.

“Personal information fuels much of AI innovation so people need to trust that organisations are using their information responsibly,” it said.
*sigh* Please make me forget that “trusting” is just an euphemism for “gullible”.
Anyway. It’ll get worse over time; for now they claim that your messages aren’t being fed into Meta AI, but that’s bound to change later on.
- Comment on Minecraft confuses me 1 week ago:
By “attack animation” I mean that you’d cast, say,
exori flam, and the game would draw a fireball over the enemy. - Comment on 4chan Is Dead. Its Toxic Legacy Is Everywhere 1 week ago:
Perfect analogy. I still used /vg/ and very rarely /a/, but nowhere as much as I did before. Methheads moved in, I moved out, and now the house burned.
- Comment on Minecraft confuses me 1 week ago:
I think attacks are the only thing seriously animated there. And by “seriously” I mean five frames or so. It was fun, though, at least back then. (The game still exists, but I can’t find it fun any more.)
- Comment on Minecraft confuses me 1 week ago:
It could be worse, #1: when my nephew was 4, I built him a house in Minecraft creative mode. And then I hid a lot of TNT below the house; they’d be triggered by the pressure plate near the door. (inb4 it’s common to put a pressure plate near doors in Minecraft, so they open automatically.) He entered the house, and “tttssssssBBOOOOOMMM!”. He started crying. My sister (his mum) was nearby, and begun laughing, then the kid got to cry harder. I wanted to surprise the kid, not to scare him! (Thankfully I kept a copy of the world before rigging the house with TNT. He calmed down only I loaded the copy.)
It could be worse, #2: when I was 16, one of my cousins was 8. I was into a game we mocked as “Paint Online” (Tibia, a MMO). He was learning the ropes of the game, barely out of the beginners’ island. Some random afternoon, he phones me, crying: “[my nickname]!!! HELP MEEEEE!!! I lost my worms, I lost my fishing rod, I lost EVERYTHING!!!”. He died in the game, lost his items, and he was literally crying! I had to stop everything I was doing, log into the game, get a fishing rod + a full stack of worms from my depot, some random food, and give to the kid. Otherwise he would not leave me bloody alone.

Fair point. And frankly, he should’ve done this.

Yeah, nah. At least where I live, the 90s kid would be saying (in Portuguese) “Ô tio! Teu cu que vou pagar mico lendo aquela bagaça!”. Or roughly “Hey boomer fr fr I’m not reading that skibidi, it’s cringe shit”.

moot sold the site to hiro in 2015, but I think your reasoning is valid - it’s possible hiro is not too eager to defend the fascists who infested 4chan, and simply won’t bother to put the site up again.

NO U
Can you even triforce? NO YOU CAN’T BECAUSE YOU’RE A NEWBIE, THE CANCER KILLING /b/! FUCKING SUMMER

▲ ▲…fuck, I can’t triforce either!
(About the -fag suffix: sorry to be “that guy” but let’s avoid using it, OK? It’s 2025, and we aren’t in 4chan, that implicit “-fag means nothing” context is gone.)

(Caveat lector: IDK/DC who are Roy Moore or Doug Jones.)
…this sort of power-tripping bastard, desperate to enforce their opinions, was really common in 4chan. However Fubarberry is talking about structure; structurally speaking 4chan highlighted divisive opinions, while e.g. Lemmy, Lebbit etc. do the opposite.
- Comment on 4chan Is Dead. Its Toxic Legacy Is Everywhere 1 week ago:
/ck/ (cooking - mentioned by the article), /vg/ (where people discussed video games; /v/ aka /b corta/ was a shithole), /sci/ (science) were also decent.
/tr//vp/ (Pokemon) was also really fun, at least when I still enjoyed the franchise. /a/ (anime) was a bit of hit-or-miss./b/ was only the main pipeline of cancer until /pol/ was created and took over the crown - instead of cancer mixed with dumb trolls and memes, /pol/ was pure and distilled cancer.
probably a hangover from too much Robot Unicorn Attack
Fuck, I miss that Flash game. Catchy song, simple but addictive mechanic, weird and awesome.
- Comment on 4chan Is Dead. Its Toxic Legacy Is Everywhere 1 week ago:
I remember when /b/ was good. But then that “moot” newbie came in, and ruined things forever.
…jokes aside I’m going to miss 4chan. Or at least the 4chan from the late 00s ~ early 10s, that I used periodically; it was already problematic, but as other users here said it was a unique experience.
See ya, space cowboys.

You’re laughing but I’ve been a passive victim of that danger!
I used to live with someone who smoke cannabis on a regular basis. One day I went to bed, and my room-mate stayed on the garden, smoking his joint. When I woke up, the sandwich I prepared for my breakfast was… gone.
Are you getting the full picture? An addict was stealing the sustenance of poor victim, due to his illegal psychoactive substance usage! Cannabis is danger! Don’t cannabis!
Or if you do, prepare the munchies beforehand.[To be fair with him, on the same day he prepared me a way better sandwich as apology. And it isn’t like I went to the uni hungry, at morning I just whipped up some egg farofa and problem solved.]

That reminds me, that in the 90s it was really common to put steel wool on the TV antenna. At least in my chunk of Latin America.
