This comment makes me want to play some Kerbal Space Program again, where you can launch yourself into orbit from Minmus (the 2nd moon) with a jump.

Lol what happened there? I actually made a conscious decision not to read it because I didn’t really enjoy reading Jurassic Park.
- Comment on Permian Park 2 days ago:
I read Jurassic Park recently and was surprised that the lawyer was one of the only level-headed characters. Everyone else was like “this place is gonna make so much money, let’s fucking GOOOOO!” And he was like “holy shit this is a disaster waiting to happen, we have to shut this place down.”
The movie did him dirty.

Lol at first I thought "no way am I watching a 17 minute video about this. But I was wrong. Captivating and hilarious the whole way through.
- Comment on Begun the kernel wars have 3 days ago:
My son wanted to play the Battlefield open beta over the weekend. It legitimately took me 4 hours to get their shitty kernel anti-cheat shit working. I can’t imagine the average non-technical person being able to do that just to play a game.

My conservative neighbor posted something online about the gays “shoving their lifestyle down her throat.” That phrase must be being pushed from Fox News or something.

I wonder if this is the reason why Elon went around Nazi saluting. Republicans have mastered the art of confusing the general public by overusing words and phrases.
“Fake news” used to mean something entirely different before Trump co-opted it to mean any news that he didn’t like.
After Trump was impeached twice, Republicans started throwing around impeachment not only for Biden, but for lower level officials as well, so people would think “oh impeachment must be a normal thing.”
It’s kind of telling that Republicans are doing intentional Nazi-like shit, therefore getting the general public, like the person you responded to, to think that “Nazi” is just a term the left throws around recklessly.
We’re at a point where they’re throwing people in camps like Alligator Auschwitz without trial - and then people say “that’s what the Nazis used to do” and then it just gets laughed off like “oh you know the left, always accusing everyone of being Nazis.”

I never realized the post was making a joke about the OceanGate sub until just now reading another thread.
At the time, June 2023, they were searching for the missing sub and thought they could have 3 days to survive. So OP was probably making a dark humor joke about how to avoid shitting in the sub.
But they were so vague that it had everyone - myself included - speculating on why someone wouldn’t want to shit for that long.

- Comment on Anon is Illiterate 3 weeks ago:
It’s a book with chapters. Basically a regular ass book. When kids are real little, their books are like 15 pages long. Then in like 1st or 2nd grade, they move onto reading big kid books - aka “chapter books” that have enough pages to warrant chapters.
You never hear someone over the age of 7 or 8 mention reading “chapter books” because they’re just know as books.
Except anon, who is dumb as fuck.

That’s exactly it. Here’s a quote from what he said during the article. Dude is so uniformed that he thinks AI is doing amazing stuff, but doesn’t understand that experts realize AI is full of shit.
“I pinged Elon on at some point. I’m just like, dude, if I’m doing this and I’m super amateur hour physics enthusiast, like what about all those PhD students and postdocs that are super legit using this tool?” Kalanick said.

You’re kind of forgetting about digital cameras. Looking back, I was on my 3rd or 4th digital camera at the time - and Polaroid had been bankrupt for years.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
I got married in the aughts, just a few years after Outlast came out with the song Hey Ya, which was a super popular song. Anyway, my wife and I had a Polaroid camera and thought it would be fun to leave it out with a bunch of film so our wedding guests could take pictures of the night for us.
So we went to Target to buy film and ask a teenager working there if they sold Polaroid film. They had no idea what we were talking about. I said remember asking my wife, “So what do you suppose they think that line ‘shake it like a Polaroid picture’ means?”
That teenager would be in their mid-30s by now…
- Comment on Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier says criminal “geoengineering and weather modification activities" could have played a role in recent Texas floods 4 weeks ago:
I followed the #2 link he linked about cloud seeding. From the article:
Veteran Houston meteorologist Travis Herzog weighed in this week, calling the theory scientifically unfounded.
“Cloud seeding cannot create a storm of this magnitude or size. In fact, cloud seeding cannot even create a single cloud,” Herzog said. “All it can do is take an existing cloud and enhance the rainfall by up to 20% — and even that is on the high end.”
He compared the theory to blowing out a candle and assuming one could extinguish a wildfire. “It is a matter of scale,” he said.
It’s pretty ballsy to provide a link with someone calling out your bullshit while acting as if that link proves your point.

- Comment on I meant to do that 4 weeks ago:
I did this a few days ago in accident only to basically pass the person in front of me and then sit in heavy traffic for the next 5 minutes.
I could feel their eyes burning into the back of my head, with them thinking “way to go, asshole, you saved yourself exactly 2 seconds by going around me.”
Cars need an “I’m sorry” emote somehow.

The average growth rate from 10,000 BCE to 1700 was just 0.04% per year.
Wow that’s crazy to me. I had always envisioned humans steadily spreading and growing constantly. I had no idea that we were basically treading water for so long.
- Comment on Plant Slurs 5 weeks ago:
I love stumbling across random information like this. I had no idea that mint spread so aggressively - and will likely never need this information. But it’s fun to learn.
