ublock origin is pretty funny. oh? you want to show me an ad? damn buddy that sucks. L + ratio + assets.tumblr.com/pop/src/assets/images/house-rightrail-premium-with-patio-47ce20b6.gif$image into my filters immediately

[hemipenal-system]

there's more, for all my followers who don't know this, you can get ublock to just make the custom filter for you

see an annoying ui item you don't like?

click this to get to the ublock origin menu

click this

and hover over the ui item you dont like, like this

click on it, and in the window that pops up, hit "create"

now it's gone!

I think there are people here who will appreciate the blatant use of sprue frames on this super low budget spaceship

[dollsahoy]

I usually play MST3k in the background, not always paying attention. I just realized there was a part near the end of Starcrash where the riffers start naming random objects that might have been used to make the spaceship in a scene where the camera is very close to it as it flies past

Servo: And the Starship Container Store moves into action

Crow: Oh, look, there's a Barrel of Monkeys, some of mom's rollers, Hungry Hungry Hippos. There's a Rubik's Cube!

Jonah: Salt and pepper shakers from the 99¢ Store Servo: Dixie cup dispenser, thermos, couple of garters, one marble

Crow: Oh, and one of those things from an air hockey table

I do think it's funny that there are several things that are so very clearly spray paint cans, and, still, so much sprue. USE. EVERYTHING.

[notpedeka]

This technique was not only used on zero budget movies. Before digital effects models were used to build other models ALL the time. My father used to do overflow model work for films when the few studios that did movie models were overwhelmed. I know for a fact that the spaceships at the beginning of 2001:A Space Odyssey were made from WWII model boats and planes and ping pong balls. The prototypes are in my mother's basement. These things were all mostly made from a junk box and spray paint, even for Stanley Kubrick.

[dollsahoy]

Oh, yeah, Star Wars very famously kitbashed off-the-shelf model kits, too, and I think a lot of people have made the effort to figure out which exact model kits were used for Star Wars

but

they generally cut the pieces off of the sprue first, instead of blatantly gluing the entire model kit's sprue frames to the "spaceship," one right next to the other 😅

I am sorry. I have done you evil and I cannot undo it. No. Unicorns are in the world again. No sorrow will live in me with that joy–save one. And I thank you for that part, too. Farewell good magician. I will try to go home.

Experimented a bit with a new way of detailing the tiles. Kinda like it? This particular piece took a hell of a lot of work. I’d love if you shared the vibes it’s giving off, for research purposes 💖

[hunter-rodrigez]

So I do 3D modeling and printing as a hobby, and a few weeks ago I designed wheel guards meant to prevent office chairs from running over cables and clothes... or your pet's tail.

I got the idea from cowcatchers old locomotives used to have.

Anyways, yesterday I uploaded the model to Thingiverse, and just hours after uploading it, the Community Relationship Manager of the whole website left a comment suggesting I enter the model into a competition that's currently being held on the site.

So I did... and now it's in third place not even a day later. First place is $500, but the competition still has a month to go.

Then the Community Manager contacted me again, telling me they want to feature my model in an upcoming design promotion.

Just, what is happening? I mostly made this thing for myself in, like, an hour, and now it's suddenly super popular? This is all a little bit overwhelming 😵‍💫

Other models I worked on for weeks didn't get nearly as popular. I swear, it's impossible to predict what people will like.

Anyways, if you want to print the wheel guards yourself, you can get the model here or here.

I also made a quiet version you can stick furniture felt pads on.

This is painfully American

[dirtbaby2016]

Americans be like it is totally normal for an entire stadium (including military members) to stand at attention while a fast food clown mascot sings the national anthem

[unstablebill]

when we say "it is functionally impossible to parody Americans in a way that will actually insult them" this is the sort of thing you're up against. is your sick burn funnier than corporation burger clown sing national anthem baseball game? no?? of course it isn't.

If Pikiwedia says it it must be true.

[zooperdoopers]

I made Pikiwedia real. Works for any Wikipedia page. Use this wisely :)‌

[sufficientlylargen]

Oh, wary dell vone

[zooperdoopers]

Goodmorning to the Anthropic Claude AI training scraper that suddenly decided to request 660 thousand pages (exactly the number I had remaining on the starter plan) and brought Pikiwedia down. 

Sudden switch from diverse user agents like chrome, safari, messenger preview to Just Claudebot. I'm not even mad though, this is maybe the funniest thing possible, because I've inadvertently poisoned their training data with thousands of fucked up articles with normal urls. 

Pikiwedia perseveres, back up with a better robots.txt. I hope Anthropic has a gery vood time with Pikiwedia's data :))

[thinkedem]

Where can one support the Pikiwedia, to further ruin the banes of actual information (also known as genai chatbots)?

[zooperdoopers]

if anyone wishes to support pikiwedia i would instead donate to the wikimedia foundation !! they are doing far more to fight for a free and unslopped internet.

also, i directly use their free (!!!!) api. pikiwedia relies directly on the wisdom and hard work of millions of wikipedia authors. protect this amazing source of collaborative open source knowledge for the many, many obvious reasons, but also so that pikiwedia can continue to scrongle it.
