I had a cowoker who used to mine bitcoins back then. He said that it was a fun hobby but when he was moving to California he didn’t think he would be able to make enough money to justify the higher electrical bill.
He was making about $60 a month farming Bitcoin, when it was $0.30 a piece. Had he kept just a month’s worth of that, it would be worth $20.5 million dollars.

Getting your star stolen in MarioParty is probably the leading cause for most of the murders.

90s doctors should have been more specific when they told us to eat more greens.

When we were picking out a photographer for our wedding, we heard a piece of advice that had stuck with me over the years. Which was to think of wedding photos as an appreciating asset that gets more valuable over time.
You can look at your photos the week after the wedding and they might not seem all that special. The memories are still fresh and not much has changed. But then when you look at them on your 10th or 20th anniversary , it brings up those memories you had forgotten about. It reminds you of happy times with friends and relatives that might be dead now. Fast forward to 50 years later and those pictures might be the most priceless thing that you have.
So yeah… AI photos might fill that Instagram need of modern weddings, but long-term feel completely worthless. Hoping this story is fake as well, but wouldn’t be surprised if there’s some truth to it.

Lol I do appreciate the Costco size parking spaces. You’d have to be a really asshole to ding someone’s doors in a Costco parking lot.

In Seinfled, all 4 of them eventually inadvertently kill someone.
Wait really? That’s the first I’m hearing of this. I used to watch a ton of Seinfeld back in the day but don’t remember any deaths.

I saw a post earlier about how we can expect several trillionaires (lol autocorrect doesn’t even accept that as a word) in the coming decade.

Yeah I figured we had a year or two at least before slowly taking off the mask and showing the true fascism. This was just right out of the gate.

Wtf I was expecting that to be taken out of context or something. But nope, that’s just a straight up Heil Hitler salute.

Yeah the first time was objectively funny. But it became a multiple times an hour thing, where you just couldn’t play the game any more.
- Comment on Based Red Dead 1 week ago:
I tried playing online when it first came out. It was fun for a few days, but wasn’t very long before cheaters would just spawn a hundred cougars right on top of you every game.

Louis CK’s bit on the word “retarded” is pretty damn good too.

Honestly, I feel like NOT being a germaphone in a zombie apocalypse would just be insane behavior. Weird virus going around transmitted through liquids? Damn right I’m washing my hands every chance I get.

The metaphor was as subtle as a club to the forehead
Count me in as someone who missed the club to the forehead. I enjoyed the whole movie, then said to my wife “wow they really went hard on drawing all those parallels to COVID.”
My wife nicely informed me that the movie was actually about climate change.

That actually played a part in it as well. Ultimately the kid was convicted because of cell phone location data. Part of the controversy was that an expert for the telephone company didn’t testify at the time that the data was inaccurate.

That’s one of the main points in the podcast Serial. It opens with a question like, “do you remember where you were on Tuesday at 4:45 five weeks ago?”
The person accused of the crime was a highschool student on the 90s before smart phones. When they said they were at track practice after school, it then became “can you prove where you were?”

I dunno. 1.75 oz of tuna on my waffle is far too much tuna on my waffle.
- Comment on Anon gives a piracy history lesson 5 weeks ago:
Yeah I consulted for the cable industry around the time that everyone was just starting to try to build their own services to compete with Netflix. It wasn’t a secret that production companies would be pulling their content. There were licensing agreements signed that had expiration dates.
So it was more like a race on both ends. Production companies were like “we get exclusive streaming rights to our movies back in X months, so we need to have our own platform up and running.” And Netflix was like “we lose streaming rights to these movies in X months, we need to make some content to replace it with.”

It’s all for show. You can tell because that’s the mayor of NYC right behind him.

I want to crowd fund a big bronze statue like this. Except Luigi is St. Michael and Thompson is Satan.
I’d pitch in for it.

See, it’s not for publicity! Eric Adams is there to stop the public from freeing Luigi from law enforcement!

Trump’s obsession with Hannibal is a thousand times funnier when you realize it’s because he doesn’t know the difference being political asylum and a mental asylum.
- Comment on Performative Perp Walk 1 month ago:
When asked, that’s probably what the police would say as justification. And it sounds almost plausible, until you realize that’s the mayor behind him.
