  Uh, just a shopping complex near where I live…

  Where do my fingers go in?

  You just gave me opinions I didn’t know I held.

  A bite on the inside of your cheek

  Canker sore on your tongue

  Broken baby toe

  They probably died off because they couldn’t use Polaris for navigation!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shopping website search is terrible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Better yet, there’s sites that have filters you can set. So you set the wattage filter to 60w and then…. no fucking results. But if you clear the filter, there’s lots of results, because it turns out their entire inventory has a wattage of “n/a”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon's system marked an item I returned a year ago as not received and charged me for this return, but the chat bot already knew they had received it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think companies understand that the words “we will make a one time exception for you as a courtesy” is the magic incantation to ensure that customer never returns.

  I got that from Staples last week because they did me a real solid by refunding my online order they cancelled instead of going to a store with ID and the invoice and original credit card. Who the fuck goes to a physical store to get a refund on an online order the company themselves cancelled?!

  If you eat a fang and it gouges into your skin and injects venom, did you eat it or did you get bitten?

  lol. They’re promoting their employee shuttle. Classic Felon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨USA to be renamed to XXX⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but he’ll change every base unit to x, so now we measure acceleration in x/x^2 and volume is measured in x^3 and the highway speed limit is 80x/(x/60).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those poor plants⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can tweak this metaphor and get plenty of real life examples. Cats are obligate carnivores. There’s been lots of morons who went vegan and decided their cats could be vegan, too. I’ll leave guessing the outcome of that as an exercise to the reader.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this normal?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you put regular detergent in a high efficiency washer?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facial Recognition⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I took photos at a friend’s wedding and most of the photos of his new wife had her wearing a lace veil.

  I dumped all the photos into Picasso (precursor to Google Photos) and it did its background facial ID on everything. Then it suggested more photos that might also be tagged as her.

  The extra photos were all just tables with tablecloths on them. It thought she was a tablecloth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Toot toot⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a manager once who had 3 small kids and he rarely caught himself when he excused himself from a meeting to “go potty”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Centipedes Don't Fuck⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The DoorDash approach to sexual reproduction. Fantastic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I just got out of the shower. what is with the product placement ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t watch it but my guess is the context is something like “all these groceries got more expensive under Joe Biden!” He was bitching about not being able to afford bacon a couple days ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Water Cycle⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I do that and eventually wake up and go the toilet and spend 2 minutes afraid to go in case I’m still dreaming and about to piss the bed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Average Amazon user intelligence⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fakespot is great at catching these. It’ll give a really low score to products whose reviews don’t appear to have anything to do with the listing.

  He did his best, but the attic is really dry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dutch toilets⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You have to do the ‘ol’ push ‘n flush and hope you got the timing down.

  Turns out your shit sitting exposed on a dry shelf smells exponentially worse than when it drops into water. Anyone still using these toilets in the 21st century is a psychopath.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Living in interesting times⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve read that aircraft mechanics were sad when smoking stopped because the nicotine smears on the aircraft were such a good visual clue of where air was leaking and it made theirs jobs a lot easier.

  Do we know that for certain?

  It’s in order of how impactful it is on the whole as a whole, I imagine.

  Maybe it’s for the really really big three percenters?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wells Fargo workers using ‘mouse movers’ are getting caught and fired - The Verge⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This tells me that Wells Fargo has middle management layers so useless, they can’t even understand if their employees are doing their jobs so they resort to monitoring.

  They literally just want their employees to look busy because their corporate culture isn’t able to comprehend managers having close relationships with their direct reports and their work.

  Companies should be looking at an employee’s output to determine if they’re worth keeping employed. If you can’t measure that, what the fuck are you doing? How do you justify having any employees when you don’t know what they contribute to the bottom line?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT has caused a massive drop in demand for online digital freelancers — here is what you can do to protect yourself⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a little worrisome, actually. Professionally written software still needs a human to verify things are correct, consistent, and safe, but the tasks we used to foist off on more junior developers are being increasingly done by AI.

  Part of that is fine - offloading minor documentation updates and “trivial” tasks to AI is easy to do and review while remaining productive. But it comes at the expense of the next generation of junior developers being deprived of tasks that are valuable for them to gain experience to work towards a more senior level.

  If companies lean too hard into that, we’re going to have serious problems when this generation of developers starts retiring and the next generation is understaffed, underpopulated, and probably underpaid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨well shoot⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s worth pointing out that this only works if your plan is sufficiently evil.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advice Appreciated⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Glow in the dark filament is shit for glowing more than a minute. It’s like the cheapest toys you had as a kid.

  But they illuminate constantly if you shine a UV (or IR?) LED on them, and you generally don’t see the LED light nearly as much.

  So my vote is a bigger project with an LED in the base that keeps whatever you print lit up and looking spooky green for hours.

  Never thought I’d be able to use that bit of pedantry.

  Rude. That looks like a perfectly good post to me. Maybe a lil dirty. Shitty, even.

  Ok, fine, it’s a shitpost.
