  If you take out the word ‘completely’ you’ve got it.

  Or maybe viralness is just proportional to stupid and so the stupid ones simply get copied and reencoded lossily more.

  I have no idea of this person is expert enough to tell the difference, but there are loon species in Europe that sound pretty similar to the common loon.

  How do any of these sharks function without a cloaca?!?

  I’ve never used it, but one should also ask a what kind of 90 degree rotation does it do. Good image editors can do lossless 90 degree JPEG rotation, meaning they don’t compound the JPEG lossiness and potential artifacts every time.

  Katy is also kinda-sorta-not-really short for Kathleen. It’s short for Katherine.

  RFK jr?

  To be fair, he’s just as unbelievable playing anyone with an average IQ.

  What was that claim? And is there some equivalent of TLDR I can preemptively use about whatever news coverage contains this info which I don’t want to look up and wish to ignore if I eventually come across it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨electrostatic spider flight⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But how common are windless conditions, really? It seems incredibly rare that there would be so little air movement that the effect of it wouldn’t far overwhelm the electrostatic effect. I’m no meteorologist, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Panama Proxima⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry I was being unecessary obnoxious. I just meant they could have written it saying “this could happen” rather than presenting it as “this will happen.”

  I’m just really triggered lately with everything online being exaggerated for clicks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Panama Proxima⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The English language has words and grammar for speculation, “will” is not one of them.

  Damn, those noods are practcally naked! Come to think of it, it’s that they are not quite naked that makes them so hot.

  It’s a fake photograph. It’s actually a woodcut cleverly done to mimic one. It’s quite good, you can hardly make out the crosshatching.

  Clearly Big Invertabrate was behind this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caption this.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When your brain explodes out your other ear, you don’t want to be getting any in your eyes. Also, its not a plug, it just ties them to the table so you don’t steal them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make dinosaurs weirder⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think you can prove that people can’t do something well, by doing it yourself poorly.

  “Look how humorously badly I keep missing the target! See? Sharpshooters could never hit something like this at this distance!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are spiders turtlely enough for the Turtle Club?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  BTW 100x is only possible with very small arthropods, the larger the ant or spider and the smaller that strength to weight ratio can be.

  Now admittedly we can’t really know how large the spider and turtle are, if they are much smaller than I am imagining then my incredulity may be similarly out of proportion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are spiders turtlely enough for the Turtle Club?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Every picture of a fishing spider I can find is holding its (smaller than this turtle) prey at the water’s edge, not dangling upside down with it in midair. They hunt by walking on the water, not by dangling and snatching from above. Are we to believe it caught its prey the normal way and then walked it up to that awkward position?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are spiders turtlely enough for the Turtle Club?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I imagine the weight of that turtle to be considerably more than that frog.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are spiders turtlely enough for the Turtle Club?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not a spider preying on a vertebrate that is hard to believe, it is the lifting. Even ignoring the physics of the situation, I don’t think fishing spiders hunt that way.

  People act like they’ve forgotten that there are other ways than AI to fake an.
