those shits are why people don’t pick mushrooms: “oh yeah this thing that looks like death incarnate? perfectly edible. Noononononono don’t touch the one that looks like a champignon it’ll erase you from the fabric of the universe!”

i wonder how many microorganisms have ended up surviving being flung out from the atmosphere such that they could theoretically have seen the far side of the moon if they had eyes…

i’m going to start a cult where everything has to be violently anachronistic. Either art deco, art nouveau, or some distinct pre-1700’s style.
Brick skyscrapers next to hobbit holes and swiss cottages; people wearing those chinese scribe outfits and pulling a smart-pocket-watch from their sleeve to read a telegraph they just recieved, while sitting on a horse-pulled tram (electric, the horses just walk in front for the vibes) with wood panel interior and free wifi.

hey now, what about LAN parties? You can meet a whole bunch of passionate… League of legends players…

Same. I’ve been getting by on welfare basically my entire life and consider “taking the bus to mcdonalds” to be a quite extravagant luxury, so basically everything i see is so utterly fucking alienating.
Just people driving to work makes me want to scream myself hoarse, people are spending more on their daily transportation than i can afford to spend on food. - Comment on It's inevitable 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on Three Millennia Ago, Humans May Have Spoken Thousands More Languages Than We Have Today, During a Linguistic 'Golden Age' 5 weeks ago:
who says they couldn’t communicate? People can learn many languages.
The fact that you assume this kinda just shows how we’ve regressed. - Comment on Good summary 1 month ago:
i see it like food: stuffing yourself with greasy pizza is lovely, but if you do it for every single meal then you end up spherical and in somewhat suboptimal spirits.
It’s not that modern stuff is inherently bad, we just also need the old stuff to keep us “calibrated” so to say.

truly tolkien is the patron saint of modern urbanists, he hated cars and wrote entire books about people walking.

i saw it said somewhere, i think some random youtube essay, that actors aren’t really allowed to be “ugly” these days.
Everyone’s gotta be pretty, everyone’s gotta be a marketable individual who can do ads for stuff.There’s a place for the big name actors, but that place is stuff like Morgan Freeman playing the role of god, or jim carrey being in a comedy movie.

filthy rich, and access to the world’s best sports science and putting in some effort to use it.

- Comment on People With Aphantasia Can't Visualize Anything. So How Do They Dream? 1 month ago:
i mean you can just remember the words “keys are on the kitchen table”, it’s not exactly rocket science.
But personally i have a sort of pseudo-visualization, best comparison i’ve come up with is like a computer without a monitor: the information is there but it’s just not properly presented visually. It also kinda uses the sense of knowing where your limbs are (proprioception), so i sorta “feel” things in my mental projection and just know what colours and stuff they should have.
A wireframe view like this should very very broadly get the idea across, i don’t literally see this but it’s closer than regular visualization:

hell yeah, i hate how normal it is to have everything built into the same device, it’s so inflexible for basically no reason!
Much better to have things separate, so you can replace them independently or maybe skip the oven entirely and just put the cooktop on, say, the dishwasher. - Comment on "How dare the Jews get good at the only jobs we allow them to do" 2 months ago:
Wow, really makes you wonder what values this ‘Christ’ fellow espoused, he must have been really big on violence and not cared about forgiveness (especially towards those you hate)!

Are they extinct? Many people have a fairly significant amount of neanderthal DNA.
- Comment on Every Homo naledi we know of is female, and the implications are fascinating 2 months ago:
but that applies to most human remains, there is no sensible descendant for people who died more than like… 2000 years ago.
I just don’t see how the species makes any difference, we’re all equally people.
- Comment on Every Homo naledi we know of is female, and the implications are fascinating 2 months ago:
why would species have anything whatsoever to do with this?

i’m curious how many inventions we just passively consider advanced or accidental were in fact people going “this copper stuff is great but it’s pretty hard to find, there’s green rock all around it so… let’s try melting that? wuhey it worked! Now we have access to way more copper! Hm, wonder if other rocks melt into something neat…”
