What, are we supposed to believe there is a parallel universe where Lego produced lime green slopes in the 1980s? Boy, I hope someone got fired for that blunder.

“Big small”, was that one rapper, right? Didn’t know he pushed minimalism on us, then again, he did sing “mo money mo problems”.

Fun fact: Caulrophobia (fear of clowns) is more common than arachnophobia, if we ignore how serious a reaction usually is in deciding what to cw, we better be ready to hide all Balatro screenshots.

Despite the name and status as a pest (they are literally European scarabs), I feel nostalgic whenever I see one. Farmers ruthlessly fought them, so there hasn’t been a swarming event in at least 20 years.

No fireflies where I live, but that doesn’t mean my childhood was free of a beautiful insect swarm.
My area had a bad outbreak of cockchafers I got to enjoy.
- Comment on Are conservatives mad about trans people or they just mad they get walk around out of the closet while they have to leave the white sheets at home? 5 weeks ago:
I believe it is at least partially the same hatred for cosmetic surgery, just amped up because it’s more impactful and they don’t understand why being trans would make a difference.
It was socially acceptable to make fun of “fake” people for years. Everyone knew what a Botox face looked like. Celebrities are ridiculed for not ageing gracefully and clinging to an image with 21 surgeries a year. And now these people are changing their entire gender and pointing at these people for being fake is supposedly wrong? Because it’s “necessary”, the same as the cosmetic freaks claimed? Why should it?
In their mind, trans people just need a reality check the same way they dealt with cosmetic surgery addicts, but society seems to protect and pamper them instead of pointing out that they are loved in their natural look. And instead of trying to understand, they double down on what they’ve done for years. Sunk cost.

I personally designed and 3D printed a case to hold 4 rechargeable batteries, so I could charge them with 5 Volts from a USB cable.
Fun Fact: this ruins the batteries. Gave up on designing myself and downloaded a design for a battery-adapter (plastic shell + 1 screw that makes small battery fit in big devices). My stockpile of small batteries then lasted me 2 months before I finally bought a charger and new rechargeables.
- Comment on Why do smokers specifically seem to be disproportionally bad for littering? 1 month ago:
Smokers have the most opportunities to litter.
I imagine few people create garbage multiple times a day while outside. The people who do only litter if they can’t be bothered to find a bin, so they probably rarely visit that particular place. So smokers, teenagers and truckers just have more opportunities to litter, leaving butts, wrappers and cans.
And once you’re used to littering when there’s no bin, you do it when there are bins as well.

Don’t know either, but nothing 2 minutes in paint can’t fix. Spending that time surely can be expected from our memelords, no? Image

Europa Universalis 4 with friends, Rune Factory 4 and Rhythm Heaven Megamix on my 3ds, Balatro and Yugioh Master Duel because I’m a card nerd.
- Comment on Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right? 4 months ago:
Collumn 1 is Percentage that voted for the Winner (Republican 2024/Democrat 2020), Column 2 the Loser, Column 3 is the percentage of the people polled.
So row Latino men: 55% voted for Trump, 43% Voted for Harris, and 6% of the exit poll said they were Latino men.
- Comment on The Prisoner's Trolley Problemma 4 months ago:
I’m not sure I follow. Should this meme’s creator not have been inspired?
- Comment on The Prisoner's Trolley Problemma 4 months ago:
This is only superficially a prisoner’s dilemma. In a true one, you cannot get a better result for yourself no matter what the other person does, but here if you assume the other person pulled the lever, there is no reason to pull the lever yourself.
To fix this, you can have 4 relatives on the trolley, and 5 of the opposite faction way back on the middle track. Both do nothing, 1 relative of each is killed. One guy switches the lever, their relatives are all fine, other guy loses 5. Both switch, crash with all 8 relatives on the trolley dead.

I don’t think I have, but someone has to have watched a different Spiderman than they intended.
- Comment on To appease a Steam user's demands for straight representation, Webfishing added a 'Straight' title that costs 9,999 fish bucks 4 months ago:
Apart from them straights not being a Monolith, I feel there is a difference between not being represented and being actively excluded. You know, one is bad and one is worse.
You can and should leave a “Need a ____ tag” at the forum then. Don’t know why the article is so snarky about that, the poster of that seemed reasonable enough on the first 2 pages.
- Comment on To appease a Steam user's demands for straight representation, Webfishing added a 'Straight' title that costs 9,999 fish bucks 4 months ago:
Say what you will, but implementing all manners of tags so users can express themselves, just to specifically leave out one is exclusion. “Move aside, heteros, this is our game!”.
You can argue that they deserve it, that the developer has no obligations, that they are represented everywhere else and that they should play those game instead, but it remains exclusion.

Before you fantasize how this could be used in humans in the future, producing that single thought cost more energy than leaf sheep produce via photosynthesis in their lifetime - feeding of it requires energy efficiency any warm-blooded animal just isn’t suited for.
Still cute though.

Never understood those circumstances, but I choose to believe that all even numbers summed are therefore -2/12 and all odd numbers therefore 1/12.
- Comment on Why is the community for Honkai Star Rail and Genshin Impact like this? 6 months ago:
Why would you read this very specific list of games and think I was earnest?
Tomb raider had infinitely many rumours about a nude-cheat because boys were so thirsting about Lara Croft, while Metroid and Shantae reward fast playthroughs with bikini pics.
- Comment on Why is the community for Honkai Star Rail and Genshin Impact like this? 6 months ago:
Man, am I glad I grew up with less horny games. Like Tomb raider, Metroid or Shantae.
The real reason is probably that we said comparable stuff, just as whispers and not written in an anonymous forum. And we weren’t even egged on by forum culture or our games to be as horny as possible, the former drives engagement while the ladder drives sales.
- Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it 6 months ago:
By “read the post”, I assume they mean “read the 2nd sentence”.
The increases range from 20% to 56% in price depending on currency.
Sure, to verify this claim would take a bit more work. But the comment in question was just “14$ is not 50% more”.
The more appropriate thing to point out is that the increase in US $ is just 16%, anyway. - Comment on I shall exercise against you my right of rejection because you have treated me with contempt. 6 months ago:
