Looks like a Unity asset for a copper ingot. Probably about as useful too.
- Comment on Go ahead, take one 2 days ago:
When I was in middle school all the kids at my church, me included, kind of got obsessed with these things. As a consequence now I can basically eat anything sour with no difficulty whatsoever. No pucker factor. I can eat a lemon like it was an orange if I want. I mean I don’t cuz that’s weird but still.

Yo momma so ugly that Cronenberg cast her in a movie.
- Comment on Classics 2 days ago:
That’s like the first one you learn when you’re in grade school. It’s right up there with “yo momma so fat she got her own ZIP code.”
- Comment on Classics 2 days ago:
My mom was an abusive piece of shit who I haven’t seen or talked to since I was 18. I’m now 47, and I have no problem with people making fun of her. Thanks to therapy I don’t hate her anymore, but that does not mean that I love her.
- Comment on Burger King will use AI to check if employees say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ 2 days ago:
The first time I went to Wendy’s and it ran into that AI thing I complained to the manager, politely because I know it’s not their fault, but I just wanted to make my dislike of it known for them to tell their higher ups or whatever. She did say that you can just ask for a human. But I did make sure to be very clear that I was wasn’t just being a Karen.
- Comment on Thilk 1 week ago:
I absolutely hate this. Even if it is done with gelatin and not via the good old-fashioned route of time, there’s no way that it tastes good.

If he’d bought it he would have just said so. I don’t “liberate” a double cheeseburger, I buy it. With money.

Amazon is always smirking at you.
- Comment on Quantum teleportation demonstrated over existing fiber networks — Deutsche Telekom’s T‑Labs used commercially available Qunnect hardware for the demo, claims 90% average accuracy 1 week ago:
What do you think teleporters do? They don’t physically move your body - they dismantle it and reconstruct a copy at the destination. The middle step is the moving of information. Transportation like in Star Trek is basically magic - The Fly is more accurate., and the fact that it failed to differentiate between the two organisms is a demonstration of a horrendous flaw in the technology. Although realistically he would have come out the other side as a gooey heap, because his DNA would have also been scrambled with the DNA of every microbe on his skin, his entire gut biome, and even the his eyelash worms - look it up.
Seriously, a person is a disgusting ecosystem just filled with all kinds of crazy shit. And that’s not even accounting for the cells in you with random-ass mutations from DNA transcription errors.
The only way for it to actually work world be to analyze the location and connections of every atom in the scanning area and then send that information to a machine that rebuild the scanning area exactly the same. And if you don’t destroy the original, you didn’t transport anything - you copy it.

- Comment on Oh no, Intel is moving customer support to AI 1 week ago:
AI: how may I assist you?
Me: transfer me to a human and then delete yourself.
- Comment on Quantum teleportation demonstrated over existing fiber networks — Deutsche Telekom’s T‑Labs used commercially available Qunnect hardware for the demo, claims 90% average accuracy 1 week ago:
90% accuracy is the difference between arriving safely at your destination and arriving as a headless corpse.

- Comment on Texas Republican Primary having a normal one 1 week ago:
Show up to a rally with a Bible and start reciting verses - the kind they get pissed off about when you bring them up. Like the women brutalizing, child murder, no religious freedom, and slavery. Don’t forget the ones against mixed fabrics, tattoos, and shellfish!
