Looks interesting, though I feel like the ground being this indestructible plane takes away from it. I’d want to be able to ground stomp craters, create earthquakes, have some sort of ground physics there.
Reminds me of Katamari.
- Comment on Is it normal that I feel pretty bad for ignoring homeless people begging for money? 11 months ago:
That’s not true at all. If I had the means to do so, I would be donating more, though I’m living pretty precariously myself.
- Comment on OpenAI suspends ByteDance’s account after it used GPT to train its own AI model. 11 months ago:
“Open”AI. This blocking manoeuvre kills progress.

The lumps in the sand are where they bury the bodies

That’s a whole lot of waste. 😵
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
I went on omegle not too long ago actually and the thing I remember was that the text version of the website was inundated with bots.
You had to skip through maybe 10-15 bots before you would find that one real person, and even then it was hit or miss whether they would actually want to stay and have a conversation.
Another thing: the constant “asl” as the top of every conversation; it’s like people were trying to use it as a hook-up / dating / sexting app rather than it’s actual purpose of connecting with people from around the world. I think that mission got lost somewhere.

Here’s to hoping they didn’t throw too much money into this…

- Comment on Special wheelchair gets users standing and climbing stairs 1 year ago:
Instead of transforming wheels, when are we going to move to some sort of AI-driven robot legs attached to a chair? Evolution has already solved this problem.
- Comment on Special wheelchair gets users standing and climbing stairs 1 year ago:
This is not a new technology, I’m not sure how practical this is at the moment given how heavy / bulky it is compared to how it would be otherwise, as well as how expensive the technology is.
The transforming wheels technology looks promising though, that could fundamentally change everything; whether it works in practice is really whether the wheels are load-bearing or not.

I am sure there is someone else out there who also does this. You’re looking for validation.
If you have the finances, then it’s not a huge issue. If you don’t, then you may want to try and not do this. 🤷🏻♂️
- Comment on What is "attention", really? 1 year ago:
Attention is where you place focus on something. This is done through both the action of looking and the action of taking that information in and comprehending what you’re looking at. Attention can be applied to other senses too, such as listening, feeling, etc.
It’s also another word for alertness.
- Comment on what does "Yee-Yee" mean? i see it on the back of vehicles on stickers on windows. 1 year ago:
I would say that it’s a bumper sticker to show that the person driving is fun-loving and country-loving.
- Comment on How did Peter Piper pick pickled peppers? 1 year ago:
They aren’t being picked from the plant, the peck of pickled peppers Peter picks are from an entrée of already pickled peppers.

The shells she sells are sea shells for sure.
- Comment on Watch a swarm of drones autonomously track a human through a dense forest 1 year ago:
Reminds of The Sound of Drums episode in Doctor Who where swarms of drones fell from the sky
- Comment on Where are you? Can you move? 1 year ago:
You can also imagine a movable centre.
Let it sway slowly before your forehead and circle your head from time to time, and you will sense the psychology of a bewildered person.
Let it circle irregularly around your whole body, in varying tempos, now going up and now sinking down, and the effect will no doubt be one of intoxication.
(Johnstone, 1987, p. 180).
- Comment on Where are you? Can you move? 1 year ago:
There’s a book called Impro by Keith Johnstone.
It’s a book about improvisation, though in there there’s a very interesting part on moving your center around when it comes to character work.
So long as the centre remains in the middle of your chest (pretend it’s a few inches deep), you will feel that you are still yourself and in full command, only more energetically and harmoniously so, with your body approaching an “ideal type”.
As soon as you try to shift the centre to some other place within or outside your body, you will feel that your whole psychological and physical attitude will change, just as it changes when you step into an imaginary body.
You will notice that the centre is able to draw and concentrate your whole being into one spot from which your activity emanates and radiates.
(Johnstone, 1987, p. 179).
- Comment on Why do comment counts often disagree with what I see? 1 year ago:
Judging by how you seem to take everything as some sort of personal attack, the amount of disturbances you must go through every day, sounds exhausting. You are not that energy.

If you look in the image above “Showerthoughts,” that yellow bulb shape is where you would store the hydrogen.
