Uhhhh I’d so like to see that!

Googly eyes. Don’t leave home without them

That hall of fame Reddit thread where a guy announced he will try heroin just one time, then comes back to explain how the experience was and how he will try again. Over the course of many posts we see persons entire life unravel as other posters scream of the top of their lungs for him to stop.

Never figured if it was real or scripted, but hella effective.

Jeez! Terrifying. Sounds like something from It’s Always Sunny!

Great way of thinking about it.

Interesting take, but I don’t think I can agree. While typical American humor is often based on question-answer/punchline structure, many comedians managed to excel at purposefully breaking it.

Think about Joe Cera, John Wilson, Nathan Fielder even Jon Benjamin or David Cross. They are all very funny (it the audience that vibes with their style), yet usually avoid the idea of buildup-punchline.

For a more universal surreal humor you need look no further than the granddaddies of the entire school: The Monty Python crew. They often went out of their way to ridicule the idea of a punchline and were/are some of the funniest people in history.

(You could always argue that humor does not equal jokes I guess, but these were just my 2 cents)

Great example!

I feel like it stood the test of time. Was my top pick with Idiocracy being a close second.

Unless you’re into a wide stroke gestural drawing, large Wacoms may be unnecessary for you. My illustrator wife just sold hers in favor of an iPad with Procreate and Astropad.

Wacom pen displays have great screens and pens, but are unwieldy, loud (fans tend to break, too), finicky and run on weird drivers that may or may not just mess up your day.

Really bad experience for a product costing multiple thousands of dollars.

eBay has become the place for scalpers to sell overpriced wares, after they emptied store shelves. From toilet paper to graphics cards, that’s where the buyout stock, sell for profit happened.

Now even without shortages, this philosophy persists at eBay. Nothing to lose for them, free money to make on uninformed buyers.

Worst case they end up not selling and can possibly return items for full refund.

Scummery at it’s finest

I SHOULD GO.

Welp, we had Friday, didn’t we? (Last week there was an excessive heat wave that kept everyone indoors. Friday was lovely and then on Saturday the smoke came in)

In the immortal words of James Stephanie Sterling “corporations don’t just want some money. They want all of the money”

This is probably not much help, but instance blocking is a feature on Sync For Lemmy app. Helped me filter out a whole bunch of feddit.xx instances in languages I don’t speak.

Reminder: gas prices have next to nothing to do with Russia’s war in Ukraine. They are artificially hiked up by the producers simply because they can (and because the world is transitioning away from fossil and it’s one of their last tangos)

Also, why would anyone who does NOT own a car possibly need these :)

Nothing like kids romanticizing the idea of army and war from the comfort of their keyboards.

Love Plex Amp for it’s integration with my Plex server, but the fact it does not read star ratings in ID3 tags really hurts.

Don’t ever quit.

Screw that. Quitting is healthy, quitting is good. Nothing worse than digging yourself deeper and deeper based on sunk cost fallacy.
