  • Don't worry, Marx was actually wrong when he said that the contradictions of capitalism that'd lead to communism were some nerd shit about the tendency of the rate of profit to blah blah blah. The contradiction that will lead to the fall of capitalism is, in fact, Ferrero Rocher Flakes.

  • I assume it's only going to be Epic Bacon Flavored Siri. But if they actually hook it up to anything important, podcasters will have an opportunity to do something very funny.

  • The long ones are only funny in contrast, and there should at most be one of them in the pool.

  • Sometimes your brain needs a break from work and a dopamine novelty hit will get you back on track.

    Feed apps have a random chance of giving you the dopamine novelty hit, but it's pretty small, and usually it's not a very good one. But our brains are trash at randomly sized rewards - that's why people get addicted to gambling and gacha games - so you'll unthinkingly go check one of those trash fires to look for one.

    Once you recognize that's what you're looking for, you can go get it somewhere that'll actually give it to you. Which doesn't have to be something profound or classy, it can be watching an old episode of The Muppets or Dragonball Z Abridged or a cute cat video or solving a sudoku.

    Often you'll get halfway through whatever that is and feel kind of bored of it - the scrollers have trained you that means to go back to searching, but that's actually your signal that you've gotten what you needed and it's time to go back to work.

    despite being from the poisonous nightshade family, potatoes are a benign tuber

  • new guy idea:

    racist guy who thinks westerners are smarter than people from the global south, not because of some inherent trait, but because they stole all the chocolate

  • v-tubers are a kind of animated avatar that people use on streaming platforms; places where you're sort of expected to have a webcam showing your reactions, but you don't want to because you're [trans and dysphoric, afraid of openly being a girl on the internet, shy, actually a dragon deep down, some other valid reason, or even an invalid reason because who cares]. They work various ways; some make the avatar try to map to what you're saying, some puppet it from keyboard controls, some try to match it to a webcam's output, whatever.

    Hatsune Miku is a rubber band ball made of memes. There was a corporate mascot at some point, but tens of thousands of people have made her mean whatever they want her to mean, building layer after layer of conflicting meanings, until that's all there is. She's just Hatsune Miku.

  • a v-tuber, or virtual tuber, is a kind of root vegetable that grows naturally on the internet

  • like a benevolent tumor

  • The fireworks show takes place in a bird sanctuary

  • I'm starting a splitter movement in the name of this bunny.

  • Damnit, I saw MCTS and thought it'd be something neat, but then it's LLMs because of course every piece of tech news is LLMs.

  • Nah that's a vegan's nightmares.

    Vegan nightmares are just nightmares that don't eat animal products.

  • I saw single family homes on individual lots and was ready for the import of suburban lawns and car brain, but no, these actually look really nice.

  • I grew up in a conservative environment so I just assumed I was conservative until freshman year in high school, when the teacher had us fill out a generic left/right politics poll that placed me just right of center, which was the catalyst for me realizing that maybe I have political opinions, and I should figure them out. I was a progressive-leaning lib within a few months of that.

  • A long ways from now, honestly. Having a (D) after your name means a lot of checked out voters will pick you automatically, and it doesn't really cost you anything. The Dem establishment would employ just as much vitriol and ratfucking against him if that was an (I) or an (S).

  • Whenever something advertises itself to the world by making a lap through the daytime and morning talk show circuits, I assume malice.
