  I’d like to reengineer the mosquito to draw blood samples, identify viruses, then create and spread vaccinations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patch this Bish!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Could we also do something about the dark triad traits?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patch this Bish!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would absolutely go for 6 fingers. Preferably an additional thumb. Not to mention an additional joint in each. Let’s go base 12!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patch this Bish!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  These days it ain’t looking like a bunch of us ought to live forever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking pigeons⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They did not start this way. We domesticated them. Then we rejected them. They’re still figuring out how to be wild again. All those pigeons you see are the descendants of formerly beloved pets that we threw outside without a care around 150 years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking pigeons⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For millennia they were beloved pets and messengers. We bred independence out of them and doted upon them. Then we invented the telephone and cast them all out into the wild en masse. It’s amazing they’ve survived this well.

  They are as we made them, and as we rejected them.

  It’s quite likely a belief that sunscreen lotion is a bad thing that harms people. Found that one out from an old high school crush from FL. She looks like leather now.

  Been there once. Never set foot on land. Close enough. No regrets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Watch. It.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not young anymore. I will no longer dedicate significant time to any TV show. 26 episode series are creatively ideal. I already have hundreds of books, records, and films to finish, and too little time even for them.

  I mean, wasn’t gonna.

  You might want to ask Ajit Pai.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Magic Mineral⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably because symptoms of mesothelioma take decades to develop, and I only encountered that stuff around a few holiday seasons in my earliest memories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Magic Mineral⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To prove it was safe. They knew it wasn’t, so they changed public opinion by marketing.

  “Of course it’s safe! Look how safe it is! It’s fun for the whole family! What do you think we are, monsters?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Magic Mineral⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aw fuck l, I knew I remembered that shit from childhood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool. I’ve already got more books than I’ll be able to finish before I die. Might as well get back into reading. Fuck those bastards.

  Dude, chill.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That explains it.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The post wasn’t about ordinary women going through their lives in healthy ways. It was about young women influencers and the old men who follow them. The reason why is obvious.

  Given the means to process, refine and build in zero g, I’d love to have my own asteroid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d love to see another Fallout game like 1 & 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Toot toot⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Record the farts. Sample the audio. Create music.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A surprising number of 'iPad Kids' are on X, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Parents, all you have to do is talk near them about how cool X is to you, while suppressing your gag reflex long enough for them to cringe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I totally forgot this was an actual shot in a TNG episode.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if any actresses were ever unaware of that role when they played it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oldest computer⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All true, and still it is amazing.

  Ok well I’m going to vote once even harder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm just gonna stick to slotted, thanks⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Once they’re determined to fuck with your stuff, they’re no longer random. It’s just to delay the occasional dingleberry with a multi tool until they get distracted and forget. “Huh, it doesn’t fit. Oh well, Tik Tok it is.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm just gonna stick to slotted, thanks⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tamper proof is to prevent random idiots from messing with your stuff.

  DRM = copy protection

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DVDs are dying right as streaming has made them appealing again⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t say new store, I said vintage. If you don’t have one, I’d be surprised. There’s gonna be one somewheres nearby.

  As for aging media, you’re right about that. Best make sure we reform copyright law soon. They don’t deserve to gatekeep the entire world’s cultural history.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DVDs are dying right as streaming has made them appealing again⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The nice thing is that there are millions of discs and players still out there. For anyone who prefers physical media and avoids streaming (this guy!) there is no shortage. Prices could stand to come down. But even if they do quit making them, there are lifetimes worth of vintage media, and newer isn’t always better.
