Facts! But I also use recycled tp, because I still gotta pat dry.
Will probably switch to towels tho
- Comment on Why there is no clock that displays time 4:20:69 ? 13 hours ago:
You should make one. It can’t be that hard to throw together a simple script that displays the time, and then add logic for the specific behavior you want.

… and somehow they still get butts in seats and lots of people enjoy them.
People want to see the cutting-edge cgi. In that sense it absolutely is qualityslop.

I unironically like shakespeare, but yeah, there is an element of inertia to his popularity.
- Comment on Schlip schlop 1 day ago:
Like that, except you do like them, mostly because you walk away feeling like you experienced a “good film.”
- Comment on Schlip schlop 1 day ago:
Imo It’s good but not worth the hype. But i’ve never had the good stuff (And never will, now that I don’t eat meat)
- Comment on Schlip schlop 1 day ago:
Oh, sure. Not debating that. But it’s popular because it’s seen as fancy.
- Comment on Schlip schlop 1 day ago:
You know how some restaraunts have a reputation for serving “good food” (I.e. gourmet food), but just because it’s fancier food it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll actually like it more?
So, what are some foods that people only like because they’re fancy? (I’d argue caviar is one)
Same idea, but for movies. What are some movies that people only like because they’re seen as being “good movies”?
- Comment on Perceiving AI as a 'job killer' negatively influences attitudes towards democracy— When people perceive AI as replacing human labour, trust in democracy and political participation decline 1 day ago:
It’s less of a revolution than it seems to be. Both parties have been doing awful things for a long time, Trump is just louder about it and more flagrant in his defiance of the other branches of government.
But it’s not “Trump is a fascist, unlike any president before him.” Trump is a fascist, but there have plenty of fascistic elements in the US goverment all along, and there have been other presidents like Trump in US history.
The system really is working exactly as intended.

I think I know what OOP means here. Films that people only like because they’re “good movies.”
I think the Avatar films fall into this category, as do most of the “Oscar bait” movies.

The original vine is now lost, but here’s a YouTube video of it

“Road Work Ahead” by Drew Gooden, obviously. Truly a legend.

Last time I used Fetlife it seemed pretty dead. But maybe I could give it another try?
Or maybe I’ll finally meet some people irl 🤣

Where does one find one of these? Asking for a friend
- Comment on Seeing so many corn posts today 1 month ago:
The irony is that you are also cornposting.
- Comment on There are first person shooters and third person shooters, but what about second person shooters? 1 month ago:
Try XCOM Long War. It will take you 80 years, because you will rage quit a lot.
- Comment on North Carolina (NC) is just built different 1 month ago:
Hey, saying you trained a neural network by hand is super impressive.
Just, you know, you conveniently forget to mention whether its an artificial neural network.
- Comment on North Carolina (NC) is just built different 1 month ago:
Is this meant to be an advertisement? As someone who grew up in NC I don’t really see it as one, but you do have a point.
If you think posts like this don’t belong here, I’m sure you could persuade the mods to consider an update to the comm rules
- Comment on North Carolina (NC) is just built different 1 month ago:
Mmm, artisinal small-batch slop
- Comment on North Carolina (NC) is just built different 1 month ago:
I would argue that this is the best use of AI. Images that are obviously, patently, undeniably slop.
It’s still destroying the planet for a meme, but hey, at least it’s funny
- Comment on If eating a banana is ~0.1μSv, then what is holding a banana for an hour? 1 month ago:
“Cancer risk” can be a lot of things. It’s not like cancer is just one disease - it’s a whole family of diseases. The mechanisms by which something increases cancer risk are many and frequently poorly understood.
Fortunately, the mechanism of action of ionizing radiation and the cancer risks associated with it are well understood, and so we know that bananas are not dangerous.*
(* well, they’re not dangerous because they are radioactive. It could turn out that they’re dangerous for some other reason.)

I use adblockers… but I also donate montly. Wikipedia is good for humanity, and it needs to stay free from corporate money as long as possible.

If I had to guess, it’s mostly water.
The really scary stuff (in aqueous solutions, anyways) isn’t usually brightly colored, it’s usually clear. Of course there are exceptions - like bromine or iodine - but I know what those look like and nothing on that tree looks like either of those.
The reason for that is that most pigments are conjugated ring systems - complex organic molecules that break down in harsh environments - so anything sufficiently reactive would actually destroy any colorants you added to them.
I’m not saying that bright, friendly colors are always safe… but the easiest way to get a bunch of bright colors is to use food coloring and water.

To be fair, a lot of the credit for that complexity and depth goes to Dave
- Comment on How AI and Wikipedia have sent vulnerable languages into a doom spiral 2 months ago:
I don’t view language as a cultural heritage thing, just a communication protocol.
Spoken like an English speaker. Language is absolutely political, a product of its specific environment, and there is a lot that can be communicated in one language that would be difficult in another. Erasing languages isn’t like no longer manufacturing a specific style of plug, instead it silences viewpoints and enforces the cultural hegemony of the dominant group.
There’s a reason fascists are fond of erasing the languages of the marginalized.

Oops, my bad. Enough people have called him gay unironically that I wasn’t sure
