BEEP, THIS.

the existence of normal human powered flying bicycles implies that every superhero with super strength who can't fly should probably be traveling short distances in a flying bicycle Spider-Man shouldn't be web swinging, he should be putzing around in a tiny plane with pedals

part of the reason people refusing to accept that the AI water issue is fake drives me crazy is because if they focus so much on one issue, it implies that if that issue were fixed, they'd have no problems with AI but that's not true! they'd still hate it! it's not their real objection!

imo movies that have an ambiguous "oooooh was it all in the characters head or was it real ooooooh" ending are taking the cowards way out either commit to insanity or commit to weirdness, none of this fake halfsies nonsense

this isn't very popular to say, but for me personally, it was good that i had unrestricted internet access when i was a minor. i was aware of what i was doing and enjoyed it. i don't look back on it and go "well that was a mistake", i look back on it and wish i could do it for the first time again

related note, I also fucking hate that thing where people act like their subculture is some kind of memetic virus they have to stop their friends from learning about lest it infect them "nooo don't read hpmor/worm/one piece/nix install guide, save yourself!" shut up! like something sincerely! god!

"such and such group (idk car owners or nimbys or whatever) should be shot out of a cannon" "throw rocks at" "beat you with hammers" "trebucheted into the ocean" stop this! you're not funny! irony poisoning is lame and stupid! I thought fucking Dave Strider established this 12 years ago! aaaaaaaaa!

it's kind of interesting that YouTube and patreon collectively solved crowdsourced patronage, but only for people who are good at marketing there's yet to be any comparable solutions to crowdsourcing, e.g., scientific or arts grants

idk if they've discovered anything similar about tigers or whatever but apparently zebra stripes might be less for camouflage and more because something about the pattern makes flies and insects miss the landing and bounce off. messes with their depth perception or something

The kit is meant to break up their shape against the background, making it difficult for opposing teams to ascertain their speed and direction.
