another way to chase infinity

Whenever I see these ‘observation towers’ they’re always jam packed with fish. Do fish just enjoy being able to see over the regular water level that much? Is this a good method of enrichment for fish?

If you could hang out in space, wouldn’t you???

This is the definition of Chaotic Evil.

oh it’s perfect in every way

I absolutely hate it

You’ve seen rube goldberg, now try rude goldberg

This could be someone’s villain origin story and I’m here for it

hey quick question, probably not important - how did you know all that stuff to put in the hypotheticals

hey so we added an option to this game. it's a weapon that's stronger than other weapons but it comes with a big drawback. not to worry though! if you get this build option, you can ignore the drawback entirely. wait. actually we have to balance the weapon around ignoring the drawback, so we're making it less strong. wait. now the ability to ignore the drawback is just an arbitrary tax for using a weapon that isn't meaningfully better than alternatives. wait---

Oh and the road infrastructure project is buying up resources other people could have used for literally anything else. With money they promise they'll be making from Wide Car sales any day now.

Okay so what I'm getting from the notes is that when you try to transplant some techbro nonsense into an offline equivalent, you have to be careful to avoid simply inventing something the Americans are already doing in real life

The people who insist AI is smarter than a human are doing their fucking damnedest to manifest that

Me (traumatized): you don’t know the dangers of computing matrix inverses

I FINALLY FOUND THIS

@relevant-xkcd-comic

if i had a time machine and i wanted to absolutely destroy an ancient emperor or king, i would take them to the shark tunnel of an aquarium. giving them an ozymandias view of their legacy would do nothing, they can see that all empires rot just by looking around them. but the shark tunnel of an aquarium is something they haven’t seen before, something no one has seen before, something magnificent that they could build with technology only slightly out of their reach. they would bankrupt their nation trying to recreate that shark tunnel for themself. their dynasty would collapse within three generations, and, if heaven is on my side, they themself will be eaten by a shark to the delight of generations of historians to come

joke i'll never get tired of: "they died doing what they loved, [something no one would ever do on purpose]"

The fact that the beheading was at the order of a superior, and the solution was to create some sort of monster of disobediance to the letter of the law instead of just lying and saving them adds a certain mythological resonance.
