societies typically talk about human cognition as working similarly to whatever is seen as the latest and greatest technology. that’s why we currently describe the brain as a roguelike deckbuilding game about characters making their way up a spire
still not really old internet to me but uh. I guess it's a defensible way of describing that
I was like "old internet humour? but final fantasy xiii is pretty recent right" turns out it came out in 2009
it's so easy! and people scaremonger about it and it sucks
Leslie and Brianne are at a gas station. Leslie, in rabid-poster mode, exclaims "I'm so angry!! I have so many opinions on other people's opinions of the new Pixar movie!!" Leslie, going to town on some Fresh Gasoline, replies "You need to drink more gasoline. It makes all my thoughts and opinions melt away!" But then she sees the price of gas and freaks out- it's "A Lot!"
this @keithstack.com comic is both 4 years old and topical again which is giving me low-grade anxiety
Everyone now knows what doxxing is - even US politicians use it. Now it's time to generalize the Toxx Clause
a lot of saints are like this eg st catherine was going to be tortured on a spiked wheel so she's the patron saint of wheelwrights and craftspeople who use wheels

Illustration of a Utahraptor, a large bulky dromaeosaur with a chunky head, deep belly, thick hindlegs and long tail. It is covered in a coat of coarse feathers, including pinnate wings on the arms. It has a dark crown, white supercilium, red irises, dark auriculars, and a cream "mane" of longer neck hackles, then a dark back and tail. It is posed as if looking to the side and down slightly while walking at a 3/4 angle toward the viewer, one foot raised.
Utahraptor for today's #DrawDinosDaily. These guys feel so much like the Cretaceous equivalent of a lion to me - big, powerful, and fast.

As of 9 March 2026, Israel has killed 486 people, injured 1,313 and displaced 667,831 people in Lebanon
That's roughly 10% of the entire population displaced already
the dialogue in the screenshot showing exactly why the product sucks is pretty funny. it's the sort of idea that sounds cool in a "wow infinite dynamic world" sense until you realise that you just end up with tons of filler text that means nothing and nobody wants to read
The reviews used to justify this excluded nearly 97% of all studies from inclusion in their analysis. This is an absolutely obscene hatchet job by the NHS specifically created to eliminate access to hormones for trans youth.
lmao
You probably see honey as something you drizzle on toast or stir into tea. A luxury sweetener. A nice treat when you're feeling fancy. You might even think of it as expensive compared to regular sugar. But for a 14th-century English peasant, honey wasn't a treat. It was a weapon. A biological defense system that could keep meat from rotting for an entire year without refrigeration, without electricity, without anything modern science would recognize as preservation. In 1390, the master cooks of King Richard II wrote down a recipe called Egredouce. Sweet and sour pork. But this wasn't just about flavor. They were submerging meat in honey and vinegar because they understood something we've completely forgotten. That amber liquid sitting in your pantry can mummify bacteria, produce its own antiseptic chemicals, and create an environment so hostile to decay that meat stored inside it stays edible longer than the stuff in your fridge.
here's the description of the honey video. of course it's complete nonsense. (historydollop.com/2016/08/02/e... the actual recipe is just a tasty meal, nothing to do with preservation) honey doesn't do that. the actual preservation method as i understand it is lots and lots of salt
and every video is just complete nonsense that's clearly tapping into right wing "wellness" trends about how in medieval times they had magic but big pharma took that away from you. god the internet sucks now
someone posted on askhistorians asking "was honey used by medieval peasants to preserve meat" and they linked to a youtube channel which has 129k subscribers and every thumbnail is ai and the script is ai and the video is just random stock footage

it's unbelievable to me that the show is enjoyable despite Xander being in it
anyone else excited for new underscores album on the 20th of march. you should be. sick cover too

i mean wrt the CEO being a venture capital guy isn't this place only running on venture capital money anyway? like it sucks and they will make terrible decisions I'm sure but you've got to find money somewhere. as long as they don't start promoting Nazis you know
good luck working out how to monetise this place without pissing everyone off I guess.
I think it's hard to convince people bad things can happen and also that they have happened to other people and that sucks
and you also have to consider what Iran is going to do along with every other actor. if he did decide to try and stop it asap that would be great but it doesn't reverse everything, not even the stuff that directly affects the American consumer lol
