I’m a non native speaker and I honestly thought poop was almost like baby speak for excrement. Hell, it even sounds cute. See also: boop. Have I been wrong all along, or is it just your own perspective?

The aspect ratio! With some hard work and intensive empathy training I got over the vertical format being default, but when someone uploads a horizontal video to a vertical format site, and then you’re trying to bring it to full screen on your also horizontal monitor… I could headbutt the monitor in.

I counted pixels once. It took up less than 10% of the display area. Just a fucking thick black (EDIT: or non-video regardless) “border” on 90+% of the monitor. And why? Because of one dipshit deciding they will consider horizontal screens nonexistent (while it’s closer to natural, human vision). I can’t even blame the uploader, sometimes they don’t even know this use case isn’t even handled.

I’m sure this is two separate stories but please tell it like it was one. Extra style points for the two biting each other.

Honestly, if it was me reading about the pixie dust, I would just find it hilarious and probably not mention it, since I got the joke.

I can’t remember the last one, so I’ll tell the one before.

I think I had activated some really primal stuff. You know how so many animals cuddle in a bunch, often in entire groups, to keep warm and sleep together? Yeah, I was basically just lying down, with members from my family, on top of my father’s rhythmically raising-falling belly, right on the edge of falling asleep (within my dream).

It was heaven. The most peaceful I have felt in a looong time. Despite us humans being boney animals (by default), it just felt so soft and comfy. I think it must have been some leftover from ancient hominid (?) life.

Wißt du den Weg?

Interesting, I just meant that cockroaches are nearly indestructible and will survive humanity. But I do agree with your first sentence.

Let me introduce you the crown of creation: the cockroach.

And then there are the (multiplayer) gamers. It’s great that I can play SO many more offline/single player games than I used to on Linux, but I can’t help if the ones I like to play are all unsupported (and probably will be for a looong time).

I would have switched to Linux about 20 years ago if it was possible, but unfortunately, developing exploit free, stable anti cheats for competitive multiplayers on multiple OS’s is a nightmare, and I get why most developers resort to picking the currently most widely used one. It’s just a shame because otherwise I prefer Linux over Windows in many aspects.

Yeah, they can rip my avocados out from my cold dead hands.

Nah, you just have to photoshop X eyes and a stuck out tongue on every living thing. They didn’t say anything about dead things.

Oh. I was still trying to fit those words to the rhythm of this.

At one point the same activity started ruining /r/animalsbeinggeniuses. Either utterly dumb users, or, more likely, botted accounts started spamming the sub with random animal photos/videos. Then, when I dared to point out that a sitting cat/dog isn’t just genius for simply being cute or by being able to jump far, I often got downvoted because bUt It’S sO cUtE, hOw CaN yOu HaTe CuTe AnImAlS.

I stopped following Reddit content more than a year ago, but I’m not too surprised to see that the same is happening everywhere else.

The Tesla truck, driven by an employee, was headed to the company’s battery factory in Sparks, Nevada, […]

WHERE else?

• Mom! Look! This frog says my name every time I press down on its belly!
• Leave the poor animal alone, Björk!

This is how I abbreviate avocado smash & eggs. Mostly with two g’s, but still.

Dylan.

But… if there’s a consistent system along which magic works which can be studied/researched/formulated, then isn’t it just… science?

Once you flip it, everyone gets envious on the plane.
