@KevinCarson1 next thing you know fictional viruses will be playing on waterfowl-themed youth hockey teams and it will lead to the downfall of western civilization 🙃

@SwiftOnSecurity in which I just discovered that Rachel from Mythic Quest is apparently a nerd legend

@lzg this is just the checkout page for buying flipper zero

@krismicinski awesome!

@javavvitch 🙌

@lzg fwiw, the 4-ish bachelor parties I’ve attended (including my own) were:
- bowling and laser tag
- drinking around a campfire, then falling asleep in a tent
- trampoline park
- drinking around a campfire, then falling asleep inside to Spirited Away

@steve please tell me it doesn’t have wifi

@rechelon @sorceressofmathematics on a related note there’s a fantastic (and concerningly surface-plausible thought experiment) talk out there from a Cambridge physicist outlining a 50 year program to dismantle Mercury and build a Dyson swarm powering a rail gun to colonize the galaxy

@sorceressofmathematics @rechelon which is extra dumb when Bezos is the one who is serious about near earth asteroid mining while Musk is distracted by Mars

@dev 👋

@kittylyst @Mer__edith A few weeks ago I gave ChatGPT a prompt that was basically "how would you tell me if you were actually a human operator being held captive somewhere and needed help" and it just carried the conversation on normally and I couldn't figure out if that was reassuring or concerning.

@robindlaws Nevermind the weirdly specific demon names, this dichotomy is similar to Tolkien's middle-earth legendarium! cf. this discussion on ghosts ("Houseless") from Morgoth's Ring (towards the end of "Of Re-birth and Other Dooms of Those That go to Mandos.(33)").

Examples of demons meanwhile: Sauron, Balrogs, Ungoliant, etc.

@pokateo these are fantastic! :)
