Imagine how actually fucked it would be to discover an ancient symbol or artifact which is literally a modern meme. Like, not even coincidence, but irrefutably a 1:1 depiction.
Your whole career would be in jeopardy after you published it, nobody would ever believe you.

Are they asking for ID?
Then they're breaching privacy.
- Comment on Blocking tariffs would be "end of the United States," top Trump adviser says 5 days ago:
Government spending continues to increase, they cut taxes for the rich increasing deficit further, American securities already deeply unpopular due to rise in fascism (particularly Trump's attempt to reform the Fed / Board of Governors), so further loss of revenue (tariffs are a tax) could theoretically tip the USA over the edge and cause everybody to drop US Commerce (the USA's major product is financial services) and make the dollar near worthless (supply and demand affects the dollar too).
- Comment on US appeals court finds Trump's global tariffs illegal 1 week ago:
TBH I don't want the tariffs taken down. I want US Citizens to suffer for choosing this until it hits home hard. I want every red state to go completely bankrupt and for its citizens to pay $10 for eggs and milk until they're so fed up that we remove all 20 GOP senators up for reelection.

Those congressmen didn't resort to violence, but at the very least they should be disqualified as lawmakers due to the insurrection clause.
- Comment on Jan. 6 rioter Ashli Babbitt offered full military funeral, Air Force confirms 1 week ago:
They should have shot her lifeless corpse an additional 38 times.
Anybody who tries to overturn an election should have their heads on a pike on the lawn outside.

- Comment on Let's put ice in the wine and chocolate in the hummus 1 week ago:
I might even motion to have Lasagna classified as either a loaf or a hot dish instead of including it as a pasta at all.
- Comment on Let's put ice in the wine and chocolate in the hummus 1 week ago:
Spaghetti. Once cooked and with sauce and protein most people might not even notice the difference.
- Comment on Let's put ice in the wine and chocolate in the hummus 1 week ago:
You can put it into the macaroni category or call it Bowtie. If you wanted to give me a harder one then Lasagna would have been a good choice.
- Comment on Let's put ice in the wine and chocolate in the hummus 1 week ago:
I at least split it into categories like Spaghetti and Macaroni.

Did the EU suddenly develop a tech industry overnight or are you unaware where all the major AI companies are located?

Academia literally got cut buy a third and Microsoft is planning to revive breeder reactors.
You might think academia will work on the problem but the people running these things absolutely do not.

I think a more nuanced answer is better: "Only if you believe mammals and fish are not mutually exclusive."
- Comment on In a first, Google has released data on how much energy an AI prompt uses 2 weeks ago:
Because the training has diminishing returns, meaning the small improvements between (for example purposes) GPT 3 and 4 will need exponentially as much power to have the same effect on GPT 5. In 2022 and 2023 OpenAI and DeepMind both predicted that reaching human accuracy could never be done, the latter concluding even with infinite power.
So in order to get as close as possible then in the future they will need to get as much power as possible. Academic papers outline it as the one true bottleneck.
- Comment on Dante's epic poem La Divina Commedia is getting turned into a videogame again 2 weeks ago:
The Dante's Inferno was an epic game, loved it. I accidentally stumbled upon a build that let me permanently stay in the holy form on my first run and that allowed me to beat the New Game+ with ease, but later on I tried it with more normal gear and it was brutal lmao. Had no idea I was cheesing it the first time around.
If I remember it was Ciacco's Bile alongside Stone of Wrath into Divine Armor and specific combos which nicely allowed for Redemption to activate.

Comments: 3LMFAO he could die rescuing children from a fire and I would still celebrate because the entire Trump admin, and especially DOGE, are still responsible for countless deaths of women and children across the globe.

Can you name any other bad things about it? Seems like a good time to me, hope it happens to more of the administration.

Let's hope more than just him gets what they deserve.

Yeah but "fuckmyshitup" should allow poor execution haircuts too.

It's not terrible, I'm sure it achieves exactly the results the owner intended: turns heads, memorable, somewhat exciting.
