let's see, if using ChatGPT to generate one Ghibli style image takes approximately 3 Wh of power, and one Taylor Swift concert takes up to 35,000 kWh, then we could afford to generate ten million Ghibli style images for every Taylor Swift concert we cancel.

last time I dropped acid at the peak I entirely forgot what like, life is, and coming down from that, hearing my roommate move around and gradually becoming aware of my own bodily sensations, there was a process of trying to figure it out, and I remember thinking something along the lines of like “oh so I’m this kind of monkey thing, that’s neat. and I can control what it does, and like go around and do things and interact with other monkeys. that’s pretty cool”.

and I was right it is pretty cool

the type of bit i find funniest is "pointless bad thing"

Our commander in Chief has thoughtfully prepared a hands-on, interactive demonstration of the effects of tariffs and mercantilism on a modern, developed economy.

Have you ever looked closely at a car windshield?

The edge of the glass is painted where it is glued to the car but it has these small dots between the clear and painted glass.

These are there for a reason. When the sun hits the glass the painted areas and the clear areas will absorb heat at different rates. This causes the glass to expand and contract differently putting stress on the glass.

These dots help the glass to warm up more evenly over a larger area so the glass does not suffer stress that could cause it to spontaneously explode.

Fun fact: the Tesla cybertruck doesn’t have these.

Yes, the glass will spontaneously crack or explode in the sun.

The average person probably only knows that the 3-sphere is a union of two solid tori joined along their boundary. And the non-orientability of the Klein bottle, of course.

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.
