If you were to invent a religion for fun what would it be like?
  • It'd explicitly be an excuse for a bunch of weird festivals and parties, usually for specific social purposes, but sometimes just to be weird or annoying. Like an intentionally loud and obnoxious multi-day parade designed for you to have to find quiet places to hide with your friends, for the explicit purpose of making you appreciate hiding in quiet places with your friends. Or the day where all the couples and ace people try to get their single friends laid by hosting rooftop parties. Or like six holidays like Halloween but with different aesthetics because that one's already good.

  • Your bi-opsy results are in. It's malignant
  • wtf is that gradient, HSV? Use a perceptually uniform color space, thanks.

  • This is your brain on cishet
  • This might break your world view a little bit, but that's not a man, this is a clip from a straight porn video.

  • Also only galliforms (chickens 'n stuff) and anseriformes (ducks 'n stuff) are fowls.

    None of the late night geese are fowls.

    spoiler

    actual geese are though

    This goose is a double-crested cormorant. When it flies, it looks like its wings are on backwards, which is pretty neat. But it's also a remarkably foul-smelling bird, like worse than a penguin.

    Op-ed R&D working on takes specifically to piss this place off
  • Fuck this wasn't anyone's pick in the "funniest possible election" threads, we've gone soft.

    I'm gonna run for president in 2028 on the platform that I'll make all my media appearances using a deepfake vtuber of Obama, and I'll win.

  • «Mohawk» thermonuclear test, 360 kilotons, 90 m tower, Eniwetok Atoll. 3 July, 1956. High speed photos. First milliseconds.
  • Weird that it looks like a microscope picture of a fat tardigrade, or maybe a sad balloon deflating in a microwave, rather than one of the great horrors of the modern era.

  • what is he reading?
  • Why is every instance of the word YOU in all caps?

  • It's dialectical you see
  • Someone should make a mod where you have a third option of starting your own farmer's market, and then you either slowly become a commune or another small business tyrant, based on things like whether you give away free food and whether you let other people join in.

  • Trump calls for jailing and “televised military tribunals” of "Mr. Biden, Ms. Harris, Mr. Pence, Mr. Schumer, Mr. McConnell and Nancy Pelosi." I think he is trying to get my vote.
  • He's a reality TV show host so I'm sure he'd do great at it.

    Clueless enough not to realize that he'll get got in the last episode, too.

    This goose is an ʻiʻiwi. They're supposed to be symbolic of Hawaii, but in my experience the most common bird on Hawaii is the invasive coqui frog.

    5th Busy Beaver number proven to equal 47,176,870
    discuss.bbchallenge.org [July 2nd 2024] We have proved "BB(5) = 47,176,870"

    BB(5) = 47,176,870 We are extremely happy to announce that, after two years of intense collaboration, the goal of the Busy Beaver Challenge has been reached: the conjecture “BB(5) = 47,176,870” is proved. Exceeding our expectations, the proof has been formally written in Coq by collaborator mxdys w...

    [July 2nd 2024] We have proved "BB(5) = 47,176,870"

    The Busy Beaver numbers are how long a Turing Machine of some size can run and still halt. There are different ways of formulating them, but the most common is the number of steps a 2-symbol, N-state machine can run before halting. These numbers go 1, 6, 21, 107, 47176870.

    The 6th number is already known to be higher than 10⇈15.

    Thirty passengers injured after ‘strong turbulence’ forces Air Europa plane to land in Brazil | CNN
  • Apparently global warming has been increasing the average amount of air turbulence.

  • Struggle session: french people have good food
  • It really is amazing how much they managed to accomplish with flour, milk, and the occasional egg.

    It makes me wonder what could be accomplished if chefs spent 300 years making the fanciest food possible out of, like, some seed or nut or tuber.

    Should there be a Linux comm on hexbear?
  • People aren't posting about Linux in threads like that because we don't have a place to talk about Linux.

    on the other hand - the guy I guessed when you said "more iconic shopkeeper than Beedle" is apparently named Morshu

    This goose is a Eurasian penduline tit. Check out that sweet little Zoro mask.
