Might actually improve things somewhat.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
One of the advantages here is that you don’t have to be the fastest runner in the group, just faster than the slowest runner.
- Comment on The cycle we are all living in 3 weeks ago:
… fuck
- Comment on Humans are part of the ecosystem. 3 weeks ago:
No, sorry, I stand by the “humans are a virus” side. A small minority aren’t, but most are, myself included.
- Comment on [REDACTED] 4 weeks ago:
Cliff racers! Fetch st. Jiub!
- Comment on Apple reminding me my iPad sucks 1 month ago:
Is that because it’s too old to be updated? Never had an ipad or iphone, so I genuinely have no clue.
- Comment on Lying motherfuckers 1 month ago:
At least it isn’t a .webp

Promoted to customer.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Logically, this would mean the dildo makers are also invited.
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 month ago:
It isn’t even safe today, but people still do it.
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 month ago:
Even at the basest level of society that we might fall back to, there will be a need for stores of great value in order to make larger trades. You can’t effectively trade large scale without it. Which might not be relevant right after a full system failure, but definitely afterwards.
- Comment on Today In Computing History 1 month ago:
I actually recognize the streets in the window (I studied and worked in Mechelen for years).
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 month ago:
So much FUD and complete misinformation here. Gold, first and foremost, is a store of value and a hedge against inflation. It’s a terrible investment. That said, if you bought 10k worth of gold 5 years ago, you would now have 10k. Which is obviously a higher return than most savings products or some actual investments.
It’s a hell of a lot safer than BTC and if society does collapse, it will absolutely retain its value.
- Comment on Do you ever feel like your life is "scripted"? Like everything is written by some entity controlling your life? Like you live in a fictional universe? Is this feeling normal/common? 1 month ago:
I don’t feel important enough for that. Same reason I’m not religious. People claiming a personal relationship with the goddamn creator of the universe are hella conceited.
- Comment on Inside you are two bricks 2 months ago:
What if we first throw it at a cop and then use it to build community?
- Comment on If you are embarrassed just make it sound classy 2 months ago:
I was always partial to the saying “va suçer un ours dans la forêt”
- Comment on Do you cheat in video games? 2 months ago:
I only use things like console commands in case I get softlocked or similar. When playing Bethesda games, especially modded, this will come up sooner or later. Apart from that, it would ruin the fun, so no point in doing it.
- Comment on Honestly wtf? 2 months ago:
Yup. I don’t regret doing it, and the short duration was one of the things that pushed me over the edge. I wasn’t looking to exit reality for hours at a time. It was an… interesting and instructive experience, but I didn’t feel the need to repeat it again. DEFINITELY have a sober sitter with you, I was apparently trying to throw myself off the stairs.
- Comment on Honestly wtf? 2 months ago:
I also did salvia but I wouldn’t touch datura with a 10 ft pole.
- Comment on Heavy is the head that wears the frown 2 months ago:
Stupidest cliché in the world. And yet it’s true.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Let’s see, 70-100+(!) bucks for the (yawn) twentyseventh COD with a 4 hour campaign, or 20 for a game that is complete and lasts for dozens if not hundreds of hours?
Yeah, my choice is easily made.
- Comment on Current state of the internet 2 months ago:
Which one? I’m willing to bet there’s several.
- Comment on At this point it might be the wisest decision 2 months ago:
Instead of Jesus, send the other guy, he might have a better go of it.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
It’s maddening, isn’t it? I’ve been called a Cassandra several times because I “see certain things coming”. Yeah, no shit, I’m not a genius, it’s just simple cause and effect, and some knowledge of history. You would see it too if you open your eyes.
- Comment on How did Russian Roulette come to be? I find it hard to believe someone came up with it one day saying see how lucky I am today? I include suicidal people in this too. 2 months ago:
I’m willing to bet it had more to do with level of inebriation than suicidality.
- Comment on When you like the free food but the trade off is they dress you like a clown 2 months ago:
Could’ve been worse and ended up as a pug or chihuahua.
- Comment on Why is ethanol so tasty? 2 months ago:
Hmm, I’ve always hated the taste unless it’s very subtle. Different strokes.
- Comment on First snake to be covered in vegan butter?!? 2 months ago:
- Comment on First snake to be covered in vegan butter?!? 2 months ago:
Getting bit by a rear-fanged species is slightly more painful though, as they really clamp down and start chewing to get their venom in. It’s still hardly worse than a cat scratch though.
- Comment on First snake to be covered in vegan butter?!? 2 months ago:
Can confirm! My hognose likes throwing stones off his ledge, too. The first time we heard a muffled thunk thunk we had no idea where the sound was coming from.
Then again, even among snakes, hognoses are derp champions.
