  Well, you ruined my day, or at least the next few hours.

  You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Archive.today CAPTCHA page executes DDoS; Wikipedia considers banning site⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing against you, but especially the last paragraph reads like the stuff I remember being said about a certain richest man in the world back then.

  Username checks out, good one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You are strong⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You see, in the Time before the Great Cucumber, Man could not shit, for Prometheus may have given him a Phallus for making love to other men (and, sometimes, procreation as these animals do). Prometheus may have given him buttocks to properly bounce back after every thrust. He may have given man the bipedal walk so that you may walk up to your lover in essentially every setting so that he may receive you in standing, lying, or kneeling. But Prometheus had not considered that from all this, the bowel had become convoluted and tight (which felt nice), too tight to properly shit.

  You see, in ancient times man stored his shit in a discus which was the ideal shape to dry and throw it at people you dislike and to appease the gods who found that really funny. But before doing so, one would have to shit it out first which proved to be nay impossible. So the Great Cucumber saw this and said “A discus is not a shit shape. A penis, that’s a proper shit shape for you.”. And he took the shit and formed it as such, that man could launch it from the deepest of bowels with the force of an angry demigod, or he could take it into his hand and toss it at whoever dishonored the gods. All because the shit was shaped like man’s phallus and could properly fit between his cheeks, for it was shaped to this purpose.

  And the gods saw that and saw that man would throw his digested as javelin upon each other and they were furious, for a javelin was not a discus. And for shitting after eating two bowls of Mediterranean food produced such a girth that man would scream and yell for days in joy when casting his next javelin, and the pleasure was such that he became sated and preferred to lay with (weak, not covered in discusses) women. And the great Zeus was angry, for now man was competing with him and fewer women willingly came to him. And so Olympus said “You who have done this great misdeed, forever be formed in the wretched way you have brought upon this world, and have your shit cause you pain, not pleasure!” .

  That’s what you normally do with chain shot. Unless that was the joke, of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Overwatch returns on February 10th with the '2' gone and some massive upgrades⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, good to know. Thanks! I probably stopped playing right before that happened.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thing is, the cannon ball IS the pressure valve. And since one of them will invariably go faster than the other one, the whole thing will be even less unpredictable with one half of the chain still in the barrel

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Overwatch returns on February 10th with the '2' gone and some massive upgrades⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Will they release the characters for everyone or continue with the silly charade?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 560 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh my, so much (accidental) foreshadowing in your post. I hope you enjoy the ride, our cult ended up with some rather … debatable ethics despite never indulging much in the more perverse and outright evil practices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck that guy, but: Former heroin addict sounds respectable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lab anxiety⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It took me a second to see your angle. I gotta say tho’, I have felt this way many times and I will continue to do so. To someone from the field, it is quite relatable. I assume it is also intended in such a way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most mouse pointers designs assume right-handed users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was going to say, I remember Win7 having not just mutliple options but also a left-handed version. I would be surprised if DE’s like KDE don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Winnie the Pooh considered "racist" now or are .ml folks using it as an excuse to defend Xi Jin Ping?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Minor nitpick: Why would they try to make America Chinese again?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Carfule question: Could it be that the reason the workes unionised is the same reason as to why Ubisoft closed it down?

  If things were looking bad, it makes sense to unionise. if Ubisoft was going to shut down sooner or later anyway, might as well do it when the studio votes to unionise, as closing it down later would only become more difficult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GTA's Ned Luke gets swatted for the 8th time while streaming with Red Dead's Rob Wiethoff: "there's so many douchebags out there, Rob"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Which would be pretty dumb if something actually happened there.

  If someone prank calls the police around here they get a (pretty hefty) fine. Other than that, not much will happen. Police will still show up, they will (usually) still take you seriously, they have to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well, it’s funny if you can read Egyptian signs!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it was due to someone gossiping about that, but yeah that’s the only unpleasent background I could find in that article. The paragraph even ends on a positive note.

  I just dislike it if people throw around a source as an argument without constructing their argument.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well, it’s funny if you can read Egyptian signs!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have read it and it is not clear to me what exactly you wish to say.

  Now, personally I don’t care but if you were to elaborate on what you mean I would read and maybe understand your argument.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well, it’s funny if you can read Egyptian signs!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you care to elaborate?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmmm...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d like to bleach my eyes, thank you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hmm breakfast⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Baked beans are fucking brilliant, you should broaden your culinary horizon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hmm breakfast⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  … Did you forget the /s?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A strange charger⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I get that you were joking, but maybe don’t equate these two. Anyhoo, have a good day!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨rise my minions, RISE⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You haven’t played Grounded, I reckon?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Travelling through space using the Sun as a Fuel⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hm, there is the Bowl of Heaven series by Gregory Benford and Larry Niven, which utilises a similar concept. I think you will have to read quite far until the concept is explained, but it’s been a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I fully agree, but I think this is the wrong community. There is a subtle not-so-great meaning to posting this as a shitpost which you might have missed.

  Also great: A heads-per-capita count of every country!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I should call her.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am aware, but it still looks very unsettling. The fake colour actually makes it worse I think, because I have seen plenty similar pictures in gray scale

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I should call her.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, I hate it. Not because of the hole, but because of how unhealthy the skin looks in this picture.
