- Comment on The Fairphone 5 is less about what comes in the box and more about what you get over the years 4 months ago:
Man I watched that whole video, it has nothing to do with the headphone jack. It’s about how fairphone releases repair schematics. The title is clickbait, he still says “the removal of the headphone jack is still bullshit and I stand by that, but they sure do release schematics which is nice”.

Thank you! If it fails to live up to your expectations please send me your PayPal details and I will reimburse. This is not a joke.

- Comment on What are some common everyday examples of this phenomenon? (see body) 6 months ago:
“Specious reasoning” is all I can think of. That’s what Lisa Simpsons says when Homer thinks the Bear Patrol is working like a charm (because there’s not a bear in sight).
- Comment on Fish have heart too. 6 months ago:
That might just be the weirdest turnaround. You can’t hurt a fly, but you’re okay with a cow being bolted through the brain because they’re a bit tastier than mock meets?
Like, you can’t be “sympathetic to animals” if you’re paying an industry that mass slaughters them. Especially when you’re only paying that out of simple preference. I sure hope you don’t find humans tasty, because it sounds like you’ll set aside all of your morals for a yummy lunch?

- Comment on Lucid dream startup says engineers can write code in their sleep. Work may never be the same 6 months ago:
Focus on something up close in your dream, like the texture of a wall or table, it’ll pull you back into the dream. Works for me!
The other suggestion is to spin around, but I did that to stay in a dream once and noclipped through the floor. Which woke me up.

Am I missing something or is this really the bare minimum of a joke? Is the only “comedy” here that tan is also in the word tangerine? You could rearrange this and have cos lettuce instead, right?

- Comment on Does Hexbear mandate all users to specify their preferred pronouns? 8 months ago:
I suspect it’s less of a trigger warning, and more of a means to reframe perceptions of food.
Like, if TV commercials just started putting little “viewers may find the following depictions of dead animals disturbing” stingers before a commercial of a family eating steaks, it might change perceptions over time.

I don’t know, you see a cow being shot and cut up, it’s NSFW. You put some parsley on it, it’s now food.

- Comment on Knowledge is... power? 8 months ago:
It’s weird because this one doesn’t even have a joke. It’s just stating a bad thing. You could literally sub in any current concern:
“We should extract oil to create motor vehicles”
“What if those motor vehicles create pollution?”
“Shut up”.

Not if I live in a geodesic dome sealed off from outside harms until the heat death of the universe, and hopefully by then we’ll have warmed up the universe so I can continue with immortality

God damn it LET ME LIVE FOREVER LET ME LIVE FOREVER LET ME LIVE FOREVER I’m sick of lying in bed every night scared of the nothingness of death

Weakling.
I’ve been clutching so hard, the pearls fused into my flesh years ago. I’ve bankrupted myself buying more pearls, inserted one by one into my clenched fist.
Luckily the mere sight of me - a lurching pearlescent beast with glinting pearls for eyes - causes clams to voluntarily offer their own in reverance, my own unending supply.
- Comment on CRISPR used to 'reprogram' cancer cells into healthy muscle in the lab 9 months ago:
When is CRISPR going to grant me immortality god damnit. Every year that drips past is one less with my immortality guarantee.
I want to be immortal even if it kills me.
- Comment on It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore 9 months ago:
BeReal was a neat idea, you’d get a random notification with a short timer asking to show both cameras. It was meant to cut down on manufactured posting - the random notification to try catch you in more boring times, and the short timer to stop you prettying yourself up.
I guess it was trying to be a more authentic social media, but maybe that doesn’t appeal to the Instagram generation.
- Comment on It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore 9 months ago:
There was a bizarre transition to “other page” content on Facebook. It realised nobody posts there anymore, and tried to transition to a quasi Reddit. But the content it displays is pure garbage.
- Comment on I'm looking for games with unique or experimental game design 10 months ago:
You might like the demo for a game I’m making. It’s free, on Steam and is a standalone game (not just a slice of the main game), where the little demo character dies if you quit. So he does everything in his power to convince you not to.
I’ve yet to hear of someone who didnt enjoy the experience.
