- Comment on My first thought was "how do you fire a toilet plunger with that much force?" 30 minutes ago:
You know how it is… you’re a publisher, you have a professional falling-out with your company’s in-house groin-drawer, he leaves to draw groins for your competitor and you need to get in a new artist who wants to put their own spin on the material…
- Comment on The local supermarket takes protein bar protection. Anyway does anyone know how to open these cases ? 2 hours ago:
A lot of the bro powders use whey protein which is a dairy product.

P6 chip. Triple the speed of the Pentium.

Intelligence has never been a prerequisite for police work. Police departments openly reject people who score too high on intelligence tests.
- Comment on If you had a shirt made for you with QR codes, what would yours say when scanned? 2 days ago:
I did this! In a post on Mastodon a while back I suggested the idea for a QR code which simply decodes to the text “Please do not scan this QR code again.” It’s a reference to a joke in Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy in which a character in a spaceship cockpit presses a button which does nothing except cause a sign to light up which says “Please do not press this button again.”
A friend of mine saw the post and actually made a shirt with the code (with my blessing) and I bought one.
(Anyone else who wishes to use this idea for anything, go forth freely. I claim no ownership.)

Beating your neighbors unconscious, removing their clothes, and putting them on yourself “can be part of the process” of getting dressed, but people would call you a jerk for doing that instead of getting your own clothes.

I’m not usually one to get jealous at these kinds of pics, but that original plastic-bottle person seems to have a freaking awesome room.

I must admit that in that particular case, redacting the name is probably one of the better moves to make (behind getting their permission to post with attribution.)

- Comment on Vibe management 1 week ago:
If your new work colleague Gerald introduces himself by knocking you over the head with a frozen chicken, it’s as correct to say “ow, I’ve been hit with a chicken!” as it is to say “ow, I’ve been hit by Gerald!”
If your boss says “I’ve hired this guy Gerald to do your job instead of you because I can pay him less, you’re fired!” you can say “damn, I’ve lost my job due to Gerald!” just as much as you can say “I’ve been fired by my boss!”
So, losing your job because your management has made the shitty decision to use AI instead of employing you can be accurately described as “losing your job due to AI.”
Anyway, fuck the boss and fuck Gerald.

For the sake of info this is Fiore Ciminello, an Argentine Tiktok user who was getting surgery to correct a deviated septum, not a nose job. She posted a video making a nose job joke, and the Internet got whooshed and took it seriously.
