Invertebrates? No. All out I invite you to meet the awesome [jumping spider(www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDtlvZGmHYk), whose eyes are very especially needed set up to be forward-facing for depth perception for their jumps, and who hunt other spiders, as well as the wolf spider, who are also a hunting (as opposed to web) spider.
In fact, you can use the chart of spider eye layouts to pretty much identify whether you’re looking at a spider who builds webs and waits or a spider who hunts:
a drawing of different spider faces to their names
Anyone with two big forward-facing eyes is probably looking around for their next meal.

Honestly I think we’re in the radium water phase of the tech: it’s been found to do things we couldn’t before, but nobody’s got a clear idea of what exactly what it can do, so you’ve got everyone throwing it into everything hoping for a big cash-out. Like, y’know, Radithor when people were just figuring out radioactivity was a thing.

I’ll be real: that butter distribution is hitting all the right spots in my brain and I have been craving a butter-drenched waffle for a few hours now. Luckily, it’s after when I normally eat, and hopefully by tomorrow I will have forgotten.

You’ve got it with the second sentence, yep. Something is “on” something if it’s attached to it - so hanging upside-down from the ceiling counts, because it’s attached to it.

Oh that was just FSN, an actual filesystem browser for IRIX back in the day. You can install the port FSN if you want to browse your files as if they’re 3D objects on Linux today

In case you didn’t see the trick further down the thread - you have to make sure to install the windows version of the game that runs with proton. Then you can connect to online matches. Installing the linux version is a trap; frankly, they should just delist it at this point.

From the first episode of The Boondocks, the pivotal moment for main character Huey when he realizes dropping inconvenient truths on the rich won’t upset them in the slightest:
Huey: “Ruin the party? They love me. These people aren’t worried about us. They’re not worried about anything. They’re rich. No matter what happens, these people just keep applauding.”

After having watched it (it was good), if you found it a real struggle, definitely don’t read this article about a real company that made a brain implant for epileptics and went under of which the episode heavily reminded me.

The hell kind of sick joke is this?
The conquistadors literally drug women out into the valleys underneath where the Inca were barricaded up and raped them as a way of taunting the besieged, who they later either slaughtered or enslaved, and beheaded the rulers after forcibly converting them to Catholicism and hid their remains so they couldn’t be worshipped in Inca tradition. Is that what you consider “just fucking”?

Lol, I want to believe it was someone who wanted to slow the spread of this concept in the world, lashing out against it the only way they could.
That said I’ve def bookmarked that episode for watching. I lost track of Black MIrror, it’s a bit tough in that it’s so grim that each episode doesn’t really leave you wanting to watch the next one in my experience.

Buddy had the nightmarish idea a while back with all the new generative ai stuff for video chat services injecting ads using the faces/voices of the participants in lieu of payment. Just, regularly-schedule ad breaks in your call where “your friend” suddenly starts talking about how excited they are about Raid: Shadow Legends

Ayy, recently rewatched that too. Personal headcannon: a better ending would have been a montage of Eva teaching an amnesiac Wall-E all the things he taught her and have him fall in love with those things and her again in the process. Probably more drawn out than “random electric spark magically resets memory” though

Yep. It’s a play on two meanings of “cut off”:
“If you cut off my reproductive choice” == “prevent my choice to get an abortion.” “can I cut off yours” == “can I physically cut off your dick.”

Oh jeeze, that’s been around as a plugin in inkscape since at least 2011, I remember vectorizing an episode poster from Adventure Time using it. But I’d believe it wasn’t quite as good as whatever photoshop had. I used the “never learn photoshop” trick to be happy with what I’ve got, but then I only edit images for fun.

…on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.
