My brain parsed it fine. Maybe I’ve spent too long online and I’ve adapted to the lack of punctuation.
- Comment on Can you? 5 hours ago:
This relies on knowledge of the common saying “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”. If you’ve never encountered that saying, this post probably looks like word soup.
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 2 weeks ago:
I watched that again recently and thought it was still funny. Fuck the haters!

- Comment on Stop Wasting Pumpkins! 3 weeks ago:
Eh it’s better than making plastic shite to deliberately throw away
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I assume you’re talking about (for example) some equipment that takes in soil/water/air, rearranges the atoms and churns out potatoes. We definitely can’t do that. It’s too hard, we’re nowhere near that level of technology.
I can only imagine the people in this thread are referring to lab grown stuff where they use plant cells, which is cheating because that’s still depending on plants.
- Comment on Ticketmaster to be investigated by watchdog over 'dynamic pricing' of Oasis tickets 2 months ago:
Spent ages in the queue and had tickets in my basket but I just couldn’t face £350 per ticket. Fuck Oasis, I don’t believe for a second that they were unaware of their own ticket prices. How can they complain against touts and scalping when that’s exactly what happened here.
- Comment on Government should “urgently” legalise e-scooters says shared transport charity - says serious safety incidents are rare 2 months ago:
25kmph and 250w, off the top of my head. You need to pedal for the motor to engage, and they count as a bicycle so no insurance needed. The twist & go bikes (no pedalling required) are basically motorbikes with pedals so they’re technically illegal but they’re still widespread. You’ll regularly see them in every city centre for food deliveries and you’ll see kids on them everywhere else.
The lack of bicycle paths is a big problem but I don’t think they’ll solve it entirely. The barrier of entry is just too low, any idiot can ride one and be oblivious to the danger as they weave in between people.
- Comment on Outrage as fundraiser launched for family of Bristol rioter who attacked police 2 months ago:
I wish there was an opposite thing we could do. Like a fundsinker that would cost him money.

What about your mum? Has she condemned it yet? Why not? It’s not hard
- Comment on Anon hates their family 3 months ago:
For what it’s worth I don’t think you’re so bad. It’s just the internet innit. I’ve been told to kill myself lots of times over subpar performance in a video game

- Comment on Progress happens with every death 4 months ago:
When somebody says something like that, I bring up ancient Greeks rubbing amber on cat fur to investigate static electricity. It would have been very easy 2500 years ago to complain about these idiots rubbing cats with rods while there were bigger issues to solve. It’s not like they could say “hold on bro there’s this sick thing called the internet and this is step 1 to invent it!”. But we’re all glad people like that persevered or we’d never have electricity. In fact our word for electricity comes from the greek word for amber, elektron. Learning something new about the world is always worthwhile, even if you don’t know why just yet
- Comment on Train cancellations up 9% in a year despite soaring fares and bonuses 4 months ago:
And the amount of effort required to get a refund is ridiculous. Back and forth emails resulting in a cheque in the post 2 months later

✌🏻 days ago
- Comment on LPT Do it. 5 months ago:
Git tracks changes for a folder full of code (aka “repo”) between saves (called “commits”) so you can revert back to previous versions. It’s intended for software but there’s nothing stopping you from using it for documents
- Comment on Schrodinger 6 months ago:
Also his cat example was an attempt to disprove the Copenhagen interpretation, because he disagreed with it. The cat in the box was the most ridiculous thing he could think of to show how stupid it is.

Can I be a grey heterosexual if I only fuck guys some of the time?
- Comment on What is the word for someone who is friends with different groups but doesn't have loyalty to any one group? 8 months ago:
Snake / snake-in-the-grass has the connotations of fake loyalty, not sure if it’s specifically amongst several groups but it fits.

People in the bottom left are in an ancient version of the Matrix using fires and shadows
