  OG heavy metal fan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ferns⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The encyclopedia itself is Ferns: British and Exotic by E. J. Lowe. It’s in public domain now. A PDF scan is available on the Internet Archive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VTuber Graduation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not deep in the vtuber culture, but I thought the term comes from things like Love Live. The idols are supposed to be high school students.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose the rat poison⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you would have been controlled by Ratatouille, what happens when you cut your hairs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨to hell I say⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I counted undiscovered jelly fish, what of it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Charlie Kirk killing invoked to bolster UK’s largest far-right rally in decades⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Spotted lots of people wrapping in Union Jack and St George’s in London today. Who would have guessed after fighting a world war, they got peaceful evolutionized by the Nazis?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's put ice in the wine and chocolate in the hummus⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The Office meme of gabagoo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I could use some serious advice as to whether or not to do this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  End with “see you next time”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PARTY TIME⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some plastic bins are acid resistant. I only learned this from Walter White.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3125: Snake-in-the-Box Problem⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Any two edges that are not directly connected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeasty⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not enough dough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Steam Did Not Respond To Us": Collective Shout Defends Calling On Payment Processors To Ban Adult Games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How to defeat collective shout? A collective even louder shout.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's the truth⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For those who don’t know, it’s Lao Gan Ma, a chilli oil brand well-known in China and more and more so in other countries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UwU brat mathematician behavior⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think rather d/dx is the operator. You apply it to an expression to bind free occurrences of x in that expression. For example, dx²/dx is best understood as d/dx (x²). The notation would be clear if you implement calculus in a program.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3113: Fix This Sign⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually they pay graphic designers to extort others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The BBC report cited mainly focused on the marketing industry, with the fixing mistake people being the copywriters. This gives a strong vibe of Madman, where you have the “old-fashioned” copywriters and the tension between market research.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China New Internet ID System a Threat to Online Expression: Netizens will require IDs to go on the internet. For now this is voluntary, but there are signs it will not remain that way for long.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aktually, for most Internet services in China today, one already needs a phone number to create an account, which is linked back to the national ID. So, there isn’t any anonymity to begin with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally paid off my Costco hotdog 🙏⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  stonk man but with finans

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's a good question⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Referenced by my favorite Philip K Dick novel VALIS, the symbol of early Christianity: Fish cannot carry guns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are too young you really missed out being able to do this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or you can just simply slapping your face. It has a similar sound effect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hit it and quit it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s all right. Deep down, we are all animals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hit it and quit it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of animals unironically do this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK to ban sale of disposable vapes in response to soaring waste and safety risks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Rishi Sunak and now Labour are trying to phase out smoking and vaping completely. Anyone born after 1 January 2009 cannot be legally sold cigarettes. It was in the Labour’s platform during the past general election. Also see this BBC report.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That was my first reaction. I didn’t find the global average spending number reported by the OP, but according to this page, the 2019 average spending of $15,500 per student (38% higher than OECD average) did consider purchasing power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We gonna fight⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are inherently more ways to imagine changes than to point at the status quo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i broke⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Try something other than amex cards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Massive’ increase in pensioner shoplifters in past year⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Folklore says steaks can easily be converted to cash and that’s why they are more heavily guarded. Not so sure about caviar though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peepee poopoo⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  First order of business, let’s talk about the peepee poopoo incident.
