16-Bit Sarcasm

Basically me writing my thoughts (AKA reblogging random stuff I like)

Suddenly got hit with the concept plus a very detailed visual of Moist von Lipwig donning his famous Postmaster General suit via magical girl transformation. And now I am supposed to go about my day? As if I hadn't just experienced what I can only describe as a divine vision??

I really like the bunny drawing you use in some YTPs. Do you have a png of it? Thank you! :3

Do you have an example? I'm having a hard time remembering any specific times I've put a bunny drawing in my videos - probably because my memory is mush after Appreciating a lot of bunny drawings lately

[elliespectacular]

I think this is the image in question, which is a redraw of a stock photo:

What are the origins of Yurf? I keep seeing them pop up in your ytps. I think they're v silly but I wanna know where they came from

Yurf first appeared in The Bat Is in a Sack - Upon hearing the phrase "And even your friends" from the source video, I thought it'd be funny to cut it off early and create a nonsense word in the process "And even yurf--". I had done this kind of joke before (for example, "The toaster pastry doughf" from WIM 3) but this time I wanted a visual to go with it. So I imagined what the word Yurf could mean, and my first thought was that it could be the name of a gnome or something.

I didn't want Yurf to be a gnome necessarily, just to vaguely give the vibe of one. To that end I added some elements to make Yurf distinct - namely the double-pointed hat, mittens, lack-of visible nose, and the lipstick.

After I had found excuses to throw Yurf jokes into other videos like Guns & Ropeses and Thing of Da Hill it became apparent that this character would be a recurring bit - so I commissioned my pal @dukeofash to bring the design to life further, and as usual he nailed it! You can see in the attached image the alternate design I sometimes use which takes heavy inspiration from Duke's version.

Yurf is kinda everything-ambiguous and I prefer it that way. Yurf is a stand-in for any time a sentence is said about an object or concept, but would be made funnier if it were about a silly lil' blorbo instead. There isn't much to know about what Yurf is "like" or "about" - just that they're happy to be included!

I think it's funny and awesome that my intention was to create a character that looked unique enough that nobody would mistake it for being a reference to anything else - but in doing so I instead created a character that everyone initially thinks is some outside reference they can't quite place.

Tried to reblog this post:

but Tumblr refused to let me for some reason.

Anyway, I’ll just show you what I tried to write here:

Also, this is not a hypothetical.

This is a real scenario that is happening now

Which is why people whose brains literally cannot let them lie need a way to hack the meat computer to keep people alive

[estro-boi]

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

[estro-boi]

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent

[manuciruja]

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

[smadsel]

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

[smadsel]

that’s not the whole flag, now is it

[manuciruja]

hey staff what the fuck

There are few color palettes my eyes love more than the original Gilbert Baker pride flag

Like dang, nailed it the first time, A+++ 0 notes

[emotionallychargedtowel]

I’m having déjà vu but I really don’t think I already posted this, so here goes.

Not only was Baker’s flag gorgeous, he had some fascinating and poignant ideas about what the colors he used symbolized.

This is from page 82 of Queer X Design: 50 Years of Signs, Symbols, Banners, Logos, and Graphic Art of LGBTQ by Andy Campbell, which I highly recommend.

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.

"they own one, maybe two or three buildings and often live off the cash flow"

[queer-as-city-folk]

I'm sorry but it's hard to emphasize with SF landlords, I really don't care. We shouldn't prioritize these families when so many are homeless

[queer-as-city-folk]

Landlord voice: "it's so hard to be rich, people want to live in houses that are empty but I can't afford to relocate them, and that person might not want to leave the house I own in a city I have visited twice"

[queer-as-city-folk]

Later on the post, he admits that the price of ownership isn't even increasing

LEAVE THE LEAVES, IT DOES NOT HURT YOUR GRASS GROWTH AT ALL BTW. anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to sell you something, LEAVES HELP THE SOIL AND ARE BIODEGRADABLE. STOP THE BIG LAWN GOLF COURSE BULLSHIT.

also if you rake up your lawn the very second a single leaf falls on it I kind of never want to hear you on about how you "LOVE FALL SO MUCH" again. bitch no you don't or you would like it to LOOK like fall too. every single excuse I have heard for keeping your creepy sodded weed free/life free lawn has been stupid as all get out. -Leaves are good for soil -"weeds" are not a real thing and your yard should have diversity and natural growth in it, especially clovers!! -you want butterflies and bees to thrive don't mow your yard in the fall/winter they hibernate in the tall grass also birds need seeds from it sometimes. -it should be illegal to not have a tree in your yard, at your first chance please try to plant some trees, they have endless benefits. -stfu about 'ew but bugs!' please get off the internet and go touch grass, I am actually worried for you. -Don't over till your soil, once topsoil is gone its pretty much gone, it takes YEARS to rebuild it. THIS IS HOW THE DUSTBOWL HAPPENED AND IT CAN AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. treat the land with respect.

[plantnerderyallday]

It not hurting grass growth is entirely dependent on species of tree and climate. Here, oaks and big leaf maples will 100% kill off patches of grass.

The solution to this, of course, is to leave the leaves, note how far out from the trunk(s) they kill grass, and declare that area a garden bed and plant it with understory plants/plants that can handle getting a bunch of leaves dumped on them. Ideally with plants native to your area and that naturally grow under that species of tree or similar. But you can also throw in some helebores and bleeding hearts to appease HOAs/neighbors with opinions.

Also, do keep an eye out for non-native weeds that like to create monocultures. Everyone should be familiar with noxious weeds and invasive species and know how to deal with them. They can and will crowd out native species and this does have negative effects.

A lot of bees and other insects do hibernate in the hollow stems of plants and birds feed on seed heads, so it's a good idea to find out what plants native to your area provide that kind of habitat and include them in your garden. Here we have a species of golden rod, pearly everlasting, triteleia etc. I wouldn't recommend demanding on lawn gasses to provide this ecosystem niche as there's a very good chance they aren't native to your area and some insects won't use them because of that.

Another note: a lot of people are worried about bugs, and I get that. But here's the thing: in a balanced ecosystem, the predators of bugs are there as well, so you'll actually see fewer of the "pest" bugs. Pesticides are usually non-selective, meaning they kill everything. "Pest" bugs reproduce and thus recover their populations much faster than predator insects, so by spraying you end up with population explosions of whatever was bothering you in the first place. What really helps is creating habitat for predator species because they then keep those populations under control. This is one of the ways organic vegetable producers do it.
