when i was a kid my Getting To Sleep technique was visualizing a child-sized shriveled up mummy with big piercing eyes that would stand silhouetted in the doorway & stare at me & probably attack if i so much as opened my eyes after getting into bed & this technique caused me to develop a lifelong nighttime-induced paranoia & it still takes me 2 hours to fall asleep. so i wouldnt recommend that

When I was a kid some older kids told me that once you reached my age at the time (5 or 6, I think?), the devil would start visitng you at night and if he caught you with your eyes open he'd drag you to hell. I told my mom about it and she told me "that's why we pray".

Now, I'm pretty sure this is not related to why it takes *me* 2 hours to fall asleep, that's other stuff, but I do think realizing what my mom had done and how it fucked me up until I realized what bs I'd been sold did have some Unforseen Consequences (tm) re: my trust on authority figures and organized religion.

wedding dresses are white specifically so that if the bride goes axe-crazy you can rest assured you will see the blood stains all over her and it'll be sick as fuck

I'm at a one year old girl's birthday party and so far she's already received two baby dolls with strollers and one shopping cart. And she already had a play kitchen.

Is this shit normal? Am I going to have to be the weirdo who keeps giving her swords to even shit out?

Google quietly added generative AI capabilities to Google Earth, allowing anyone to generate false images on top of real satellite imagery. It seems pretty rudimentary, but the potential for disinformation is sky-high.

Anyway, did y'all hear that they nuked the White House?

Within the first few hours of its discovery, people on Twitter used this tool to generate an Epstein Island attraction at Disneyland, a mega-prison within Google’s headquarters, and a sequel to 9/11.

Google has already announced that they will be “rolling back” this feature because of screenshots like these:

The fact that they want to bring it back with “guardrails” is ridiculous. Screenshots like these are not the work of some malign actors, they’re instant proof that your idea is terrible on its face

[crusadingeggplant]

Yeah we put the Perfect Misinformation Tool in the Useful Information Tool. Sorry about that. We'll do it again.

it’s amazing how women are able to navigate crowded rooms without ever touching a palm to a man’s lower back

[quendergeer]

you'd think occasionally men would need to touch other men like this to manoeuvre them out of the way but it never happens

Image description: a screenshot that reads the following;

“Nobody:

Girls that bullied goth kids in high school:”

Attached images are of Taylor Swift, a white woman with sunglasses, blonde hair, a black tank top reading “this is my fight song”, and green shorts. She is wearing a leather bondage harness. It is backwards.

my favorite genre of humor is alt text being just completely factual and somehow reading the image for filth

i do not want to live in the fucking panopticon fuck the camera that blinks above me at work, the tv watching me at the store, the "smile you're on camera" signs, the ring cameras, the flock cameras, the apps to track your child or partner, the activist friends telling me "just assume everything you do in public is being recorded somewhere", the government building protester databases, the teslas recording every move all around them, the knowledge that everything i type or search or save is being tracked and logged, the ads and search suggestions that mysteriously know what i was just talking about, the way biometrics keep creeping into more places, the way my car spies on me, the way my phone spies on me, the way there is nowhere to go to get away from it!!! no wonder the internet is full of vindictive little stalkers and witchhunts when it's the water and the air of society from the culture to the infrastructure
