[aropride]

ur clothes size doesnt say anything. like it doesnt say anything abt u as a person but it also especially doesnt say anything about what size your clothes are

[bread-making-vikings]

the top is an original, from 1910, the bottom is a new version painted in 2015

[spacedouterri]

THE BOTTOM IS A PAINTING????

[flishlish]

It is not a painting it is a digital photo collage.

I’m going to show you a book cover I’ve been staring at for ten minutes with the disclaimer that this isn’t anywhere close to the wildest book cover I’ve ever seen. It simply compels me. It haunts me. It makes me want to go back to the library to check it out.

[andhumanslovedstories]

Anyway it was nearly crazy enough. It was just a competently yet blandly written romance between an Amish single father and a woman with a troubled past, BUT at one point the villain gives his name as Pete Peterson and then 70 pages later someone’s finally like “so that’s probably a fake name” and then the villain’s real name? Phil Phillipson. I’ll bump the book up to a C+ for that alone.

[ekjohnston]

Fun fact: the blandness is intentional. I have several friends who've written for that line, and it was an exercise in frustration for all of them because their suspense couldn't be that suspenseful, and their romance couldn't go past "tingle".

Tbh I think the "but data centers are important infrastructure, not just AI" talking point misses that like

Ok so roads are important infrastructure. A lot of stuff that's important happens on roads. Now, let's imagine that quadrillionaire Matt Stench has decided that the next big tech innovation is the Wide Car. It's a car that takes up six lanes despite seating only one passenger.

The Wide Car is supposed to be the future, and everyone's going to be driving Wide Cars, even though nobody who makes Wide Cars is turning a profit. Employers are offering Wide Cars as an employee benefit, and getting "nah." Some employers are going as far as demanding their employees drive Wide Cars, and the result is that people take time out of their workdays to get in the mandatory gas usage for their Wide Car before driving home in a regular car.

In spite of the fact that the Wide Car is clearly set to fail, there's an enormous push to expand to twelve-lane roads to accommodate a bunch of Wide Cars that simply will not materialize. This is not an organic response to demand, but a speculative investment that amplifies the existing issues with road development for no good reason.

That is the problem.

[tpwrtrmnky]

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.

[tpwrtrmnky]

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

[shaiko-system]

i've stood next to one, 5'3", its sheer presence genuinely fucking intimidates me. that thing should not be on the road.

[shofarsogood]

This is also a problem in the US because

These cars don't fit into parking spaces and make pulling out in parking lots impossible

The weight of big cars is causing additional stress on roads and bridges

The number of big cars and trucks is directly linked to the number of children struck by cars because the drivers can't see over the hood!

These cars should be banned. They're not even useful for hauling because the truck bed space keeps shrinking.

[doomhamster]

...please don't be telling me there are Even Wider Cars that we aren't seeing in Europe? Because the humongousness of some of the cars people are trying and failing to cram into our parking garages here in Sweden already causes disasters, frankly.

[thebiscuiteternal]

Doomy, I am so sorry to tell you this, but Ford put this thing on the market last year.

And this is its even worse sibling from this year.

[doomhamster]

...well shit.

in World War 1 around 8 million horses died but in World War 2 it was under a million which can only mean horses started to evolve bullet resistance

[lordoftablecloths]

im sorry i couldnt just let these slide

[tpwrtrmnky]

girls with adhd playing long rpgs like "i am overwhelmed by the state of the save file i left off with last time my attention arbitrarily fell onto this game. time to start from scratch."

[tpwrtrmnky]

"yeah i fucking love this game. i've bought it on console and pc, and then the remaster too. i have no idea how it ends, i only get 40% of the way through the main story each time"

[elucubrare]

i wish my brain were not full of gludge. i would like to be using it & because of the gludge i cannot do that.

[queer-as-city-folk]

Anti-city people are just plain fascinating to me

[sleepnoises]

i like sewing because you get to think about something really really hard and then you get an object. i imagine authors feel this way over a longer timespan

[tomb-mold]

the problem is i really do love staying up until one billion o'clock. it just cant be helped

[luckyladylily]

So the thing is boobs really do be jiggling. If having breasts has taught me anything it is that the ladies frolic. I don't even have that large of boobs but every time I go down some stairs all I can think about is that stupid quote about boobing breastily down the stairs or whatever it is because God Damn.

But anime and video game boob jiggling is like. The most uncanny valley shit I've ever seen nine times out of ten. You would think people this horny about tits would have actually looked at some but I guess not.

What we really need is some pervert to compile the ultimate visual guide to boob bouncing physics that's just like 500 hours of meticulously organized videos of breasts of different size and shape and under different fabrics bouncing around from a wide variety of physical movements so horny game devs can finally get it right and I don't have to be creeped out by women who appear to have surgically implanted softballs in their chest under skin made of rubber bands.
