If it’s weird, we can be weird together.

Would it be a proper shitpost if nobody shat on it?

The internet has reached its peak with this meme.
- Comment on Do you know any software development philosophy books? 2 weeks ago:
My favorite book ever. “Hackers” by Steven Levy. It really does a good job of giving you a sense of the early days of software development and the background behind/before the Free Software movement.
- Comment on Deepfakes now come with a realistic heartbeat, making them harder to unmask 2 weeks ago:
Wait, they can detect your pulse via a video? How? Variation in flushing during systolic vs diastolic phases of the heartbeat? Unconscious synchronization of affect/verbalization/whatever with one’s own heartbeat? Given the following, I think it must be closer to the former:
The analysis of the transmission of light through the skin and underlying blood vessels has long been indispensable in medicine, for example in pulse oximeters. Its digital cousin, so-called remote photoplethysmography (rPPP), is an emerging method in telehealthcare, which uses webcams to estimate vital signs. But rPPP can, in theory, also be used in deepfake detectors.
In recent years, such experimental rPPP-based deepfake detectors have proven good at distinguishing between real and deepfaked videos.
- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 2 weeks ago:
“Upgrade?” “UPGRADE?!” Oh no they didn’t.
Seriously, though, there may well be ways around this without switching your OS. If it’s browser-based, the first thing I’d try is a user-agent switcher.
Though, actually, does that “remind me later” option work? It does look kindof grayed out, but it couldn’t hurt to try a click.

Jean-Luc Picard is entirely too classy to snore.
- Comment on Is 4chan dead forever? Where are the refugees going? 4 weeks ago:
I think you’re misunderstanding octopus_ink’s comment. Are you thinking octopus_ink is a 4chan refugee? I think they’re just a Lemmy user hoping we don’t get flooded with 4chan assholes.

- Comment on Dont worry about your retirement plan, simpsons never fail 5 weeks ago:
But the title of the article is “Did ‘The Simpsons’ Predict President Trump’s Death”. And it’s rated “false”. If The Simpsons did predict his death, just not as indicated by the specific image mentioned in the article, surely that would be mentioned and the overall rating would be something like “mixture” rather than “false”.
I suppose unless The Simpsons predicted his death in an episode released after that Snopes article was written. In which case, fair point.

Yes, this is a shitpost community, but I still feel obligated to make sure folks know this isn’t real.

Everyone, quick! Go watch a british TV show.
I recommend Red Dwarf. For something more current, Ludwig is great.
- Comment on omg 1 month ago:
This isn’t intuitive to people?
2/sqrt(2) = ( sqrt(2)*sqrt(2) ) / sqrt(2)Then cancelling out one of the
sqrt(2)s in numerator with thesqrt(2)in the denominator, you’re left withsqrt(2).I do a lot of toodling around OpenSCAD, though, and
sqrt(2)tends to come up a lot because, you know, Pythagoras and right triangles and all that. - Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
This really isn’t the right community for this post.
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 1 month ago:
Probably if you’re too lazy to grab a cord, line it up with the plug, and press gently but firmly. With wireless, you can just lob it vaguely in the right vicinity and not overstrain your fine motor skills.
- Comment on Wonder what it tastes like 1 month ago:
Probably goes well with mushrooms.

Erasable pen. Just because I’m contrary.

OP is like the new Don_Dickle, only more so.

- Comment on what is psychological definition of an ideal or good family? 1 month ago:
what if you don’t have kids?
That’s why I said “at least a little bit related to what you’re looking for” rather than “exactly what you want.” The “Good Enough Parenting” thing is more focused on raising kids. Beyond that, I’m not sure I can help.
- Comment on what is psychological definition of an ideal or good family? 1 month ago:
Winnocott’s term “Good Enough Parenting” may be at least a little bit related to what you’re looking for.
I suppose other options could be along the lines of “read these 30 dense psychology books or get a degree in psychology.”
Unfortunately, I don’t think I have much better answers for you, but I’d be interested to hear a succinct answer to this too.
- Comment on Where to find help for a game name 1 month ago:
Lessee. Username’s a reference to Snow Crash, which is a cyberpunk book. Played the game “years ago”. The game must have a name not so connected to the content that OP would have already remembered the name before posting.
I’m going to guess Shadowrun for the SNES.

Jeez. I totally meant to type 2001, not 2021.

Uh… that isn’t normal.
Honey, there hasn’t been an ounce of “normal” anywhere since at least 2021.
- Comment on Paramount Posts $286M Fourth Quarter Streaming Loss, Gains 5.6M Subs 2 months ago:
Yeah, but Star Trek, though. That’s a “killer feature” for a lot of people.
Paramount+ doesn’t work for shit, though. They keep inventing new and different ways to break. Even if you’re really into the content they provide, they’re so hard to work with and keep working consistently. Not like Netflix or Prime Video or Disney+ or whatever. (Hulu is… pretty janky as well. But anyway.)
