Javascript is a beautiful language where ‘3’ - 1 = 2 but ‘3’ + 1 = ‘31’.
- Comment on Anon tries smoking for the first time 2 months ago:
Same here. My parents both smoked like chimneys. I tried smoking once. Tasted awful, smelled disgusting, and made my eyes hurt like a motherfucker. Then I tried twice again on different occasions. Same experience. Just an exceedingly nasty thing overall that had not a single thing that made me wanna go back again, so that was it. I consider myself lucky that my body found it so revolting.
- Comment on Anon remembers first grade 2 months ago:
OP read about the “fight the biggest baddest dude you can find on your first day” strat online and didn’t stop to think about its applicability.
- Comment on Socialism 3 months ago:
Have you not read the relevant chapters in The Wealth of Nations?
- Comment on What an inspiring story! 3 months ago:
If he meets enough Billie Eilishes he can finally have enough copper to sell and buy a house.
- Comment on How many squirrels do you think you could take in a fight to the death? 3 months ago:
You said no weapons, but no mention of armor.
Wrap me in some chain mail or kevlar or whatever, and set me loose. I will rain down an ungodly firestorm upon any number of squirrels. They’re gonna have to call the United Nations and get a binding resolution to keep me from destroying them. I will massacre them. I will fuck them up.

Are you capacitance-shaming her?
- Comment on Pizza 3 months ago:
Correction: she’s 35 Farads.
- Comment on Toot toot 3 months ago:
Yeah obviously made up for fake internet points. There’s no way there was a third toot, it’s just impossible. I don’t buy it.
- Comment on Anon needs help reading a social situation 4 months ago:
You have one brief interaction and then spend the next two eternities pondering what that was, draw all sorts of baseless conclusions without attemptint to ask for any information. I’m very good at it, been so in doing it for 30+ years.
- Comment on Rain on Other Worlds 4 months ago:
There are approximately two metric shit tons of planets. I assume scientists have better things to do with their time than to sit around and think of names to give to every single one of those.
- Comment on NASA Ping 4 months ago:
I know the frustration of trying to reprogram cheap Chinese esp32 knock offs that refuse to enter bootloader mode. Those nasa guys have to be some of the most patient people on earth. Up there with special education teachers.
- Comment on Gecko 4 months ago:
Different in what way? Does it regrow as an underdeveloped shadow of its former self?
- Comment on Anon has a question 4 months ago:
I pour it into the cowl vents of cars that were parked by assholes, but only when I’m out of eggs to crack in there instead.

He teaches to groan. NOTHING SEXUAL.
- Comment on What song would cause you to do this to yourself ? 5 months ago:
It’s the one where the dude brags about being filthy rich and wearing expensive clothes, I think.
- Comment on Youtube is broken, again 5 months ago:
It’s not an issue though, from what you’re describing. People have control over their playlists. If that dude wanted to put that stupid video there, then that’s his prerogative. YouTube can’t “fix” that because a user doing whatever they want with their playlist is not an issue.
- Comment on How are engine sounds in racing games played ? 5 months ago:
All sounds are short clicks that just repeat rapidly, if you think about it.
- Comment on Pros / cons of riding a bike? 6 months ago:
The sweat thing is important imo. I don’t want to show up to work or school or whatever drenched in sweat. Sometimes it’s too hot outside, or you have to ride against too strong a wind, or the terrain on your route is difficult. Either way you can easily arrive at your destination soaking wet. Unless you have an e-bike, there is no easy or convenient solution for that ç. A very real consideration that most certainly has made me not choose my bike on many occasions.
While we’re on the topic of wet, weather is also an important consideration. Keeping yourself protected against the rain on a bike is not easy.

Tar and feather
I see what you did there
- Comment on What's the rule for which 'national identity adjective' suffix to use? 6 months ago:
The answer is that many languages import their demonyms from different foreign languages. The reason for the inconsistencies is the different, unrelated sources for words.
- Comment on Car 6 months ago:
You seem to be imagining people HYAAAAAHHing their foot on the clutch pedal full force with bulging veins on their temples. It’s just that you typically put quite a bit more force on that pedal compared to a brake pedal even if it’s not exactly violent. It’s slamming in relative terms.
- Comment on Am I supposed to ask stupid questions here, or *not* ask stupid questions? 7 months ago:
Tbh it never was. It was practically as weak as a password could get, even before becoming a meme.
- Comment on Am I supposed to ask stupid questions here, or *not* ask stupid questions? 7 months ago:
Finally, a safe space to ask women how far they’re along.
- Comment on The post title is "Best Tablet for Kids 2024" 8 months ago:
Yes that’s why kids’ tablets exist. They’re less powerful devices loaded with a special version of android that’s been MDM’d up the ass to give parents strict control over how their children use the thing. It helps you regulate screen time to a safe level instead of depriving your child of it entirely.
- Comment on Tell Borts I said "Hi" 8 months ago:
Legible text has long been solved. Plenty of diffusion models out there that can generate perfectly normal looking legible text. The words might be complete gibberish, but at least they’re legible gibberish.
- Comment on Most useless superhero accessory 8 months ago:
He could just pick up the npc. Not like he’s never been shown to accelerate mere mortal fleshbags to relativistic speeds almost instantaneously.
- Comment on My turn to switch into ArchSocks. 8 months ago:
That looks like a cable. Headphones or charging or, at this day and age, both.
- Comment on Hooooooooooooooooooot 8 months ago:
We’re all heat engines on this blessed day if you broaden the definition enough.
- Comment on Hooooooooooooooooooot 8 months ago:
Yeah but those heat engines don’t rely on spinning things inside a magnetic field. Heat on one side, less heat on the other side, and you have current. No motors.
