In just a few short centuries I'll release my magnum opus, a sweeping fantasy epic full of romance, deception, intrigue and war, and over the course of which every single dictionary word will be not only used but also formally defined

i know there have been several technological arms races in the internet, like the current one to find a use for AI, but perhaps the most baffling is the race for every short form video service to make the worst UI ever devised by man or beast

Our society expects everyone to have kids, but they forget that there are different ways to help the next generation. You could, for example, put all of the money you save by not having kids into gold and bury it and leave a cryptic map to a random distant relative that sends them on a big adventure

I know I say this every year but it's insane to me that houses built on the west coast of Canada are still built with heating and insulation. It gets below freezing for a few minutes a year and then it hits the 30s every summer, who are we even kidding

I don't use Reddit but I really want there to be a sequel to eli5 which is eli5kbc (explain like it's 5000BC) What is a computer? Oh easy, we take special rocks and etch runes into them and connect them with copper or silver, then we can see things remotely, or ask for their knowledge of the world.

It's so weird how things that happened a week ago feel like forever ago, but Christmas was 8 months ago and I can casually forget to do something for the entirety of those 8 months the same way I can forget to do something overnight This post brought to you by the Lush soap I still haven't used up

Rewatched Age of Ultron the other day. Sad to think that if this movie was just a little better people might have understood the message of "don't let rich people put AI in everything" and we wouldn't be in this situation today

Cognitohazard warning: started reading "ofc" as "oregon fried chicken" and it changes everything

Made the mistake of trying to log in to Minecraft. I have a flight in two weeks. I'll probably still be trying to log in to the account recovery text so they can email my phone number to the authenticator app which will let me recover the authentic text of the email so I can sign in to the phone and

wonder man season 2. nothing bad can happen if you undo the cancellation and make season 2. only good things can happen. we can be trusted with season 2 of wonder man. put season 2 of wonder man in production it is safe in production. wonder man season 2 likes it in production it's warm and comforta

It's a scary, dangerous world out there. You could be texting somebody innocently and sincerely and accidentally put a semicolon in your smiley face emoticon and completely change the tone of the whole message

There are probably a lot of lessons that can be learned from the Animal Crossing series, but honestly, I think the biggest one is that life would be better if people wrote to each other on nice stationery more

how to make a piece of media your whole identity, even though it became popular right after you got into it, without looking like a normie?

Youtube channels you've heard of in passing will really appear on your home page with a video titled "It's All Over" and the thumbnail is them looking sad and the words "I'm Done" and then you click to read replies and it turns out they just meant they finished eating today's dinner or something

pronouncing "Beatle" like French people pronounce "theatre"

I try not to be prescriptivist with language but I will fistfight anyone who still insists that one of these is a cake and one of them is a pie and that the two terms have any meaningful distinction

I've learned how to make crusty little fellas It's over for the world...

Bluesky needs to make a stronger like button for some posts

current day Google AI is like a weird non-self-aware theatre kid working retail. you order a drink and it puts on a terrible pan-British accent. you ask about the selection of cookies and it tries to start an improv roleplay game with you. i just want my food sir

migratory birds have the right idea; we were never made to experience summer. if i was rich I'd genuinely buy a second home in NZ and have winter twice a year the fact this isn't feasible means humanity has failed

I know it's fancy and modern and whatever, but those websites where the content fades in only as you scroll down always just remind me of waiting for images to load from the top down on old internet connections

My interpersonal life has been too easy lately. Maybe I'll start saying "should of"

✨ITS MY BIRTHDAY✨ 38 years of mischief and tomfoolery 🩷 Shares and niceness for my art? 🥺👉🏼👈🏼

really sick of corporations shoving AI into everything, i liked chemistry in school but now they even put AI in the periodic table?? very disappointed

Ball x Pit is a fascinating social experiment; they made a game to make tubers say really questionable things while also being genuinely well made and fun

Rogers commercial: "The best high speed internet in Canada" The stream I'm watching: crashes because the internet cut out

I can VAGUELY understand why people like the idea of manifesting, even if the implications are horrible. But personally I get a lot more out of weaponising Sod's Law. Waiting for a call and it only ever comes when you're in the bathroom? Easy, just use the bathroom when you're ready for the call :^)

I feel like there's a genre of game that's quietly died out over the last 15 years or so, where instead of getting constant roguelite upgrades, or improving stats like an rpg, you just buy new things entirely every now and then. It seems to have peaked around the xbox 360 era.

one of the few things more painful than a well delivered pun is a line phrased just awkwardly enough that you realise afterwards it was nearly an accidental pun, which they caught and avoided, and now you've had to take self damage from finding it yourself

I love that my email uses a fire symbol to mark suspected junk mail. "Your payment has failed 🔥" like dang is it that exciting?
