The Sun Won't Rise

All in vain, they will fade away. There's only you, to answer you.

so i think the solution is to give dachshunds a third pair of legs right in the middle

[hasufin]

Nah, they need a tension based support system - piers rising up from the existing legs, and cables providing support to the center. Like a bridge.

Me: That's an interesting headline about a new development in a topic which I find interesting.

Also me: ...and it's a video. Nah, I'm not THAT interested.

i forgot the word for someone who demolishes buildings for a living and my brain wouldn't stop suggesting "homewrecker" to me which is. NOT what i meant

Why is there a diarrhea parasite outbreak in America?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies cut funding to disease prevention and control.

Why is measles back in America?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including RFK Jr, cut vaccine and measles prevention funding and programs.

Why is the New World Screwworm infecting cattle in Texas, when it had previously been eliminated from the area?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including Elon Musk, cut USAID funding, which in part worked to monitor and prevent screwworm outbreaks.

Why was there a flu outbreak in our armed forces?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including Pete Hegseth, cut vaccination requirements for our armed forces, putting all of them at risk alongside our military readiness.

What contributed to the Covid outbreak?

Donald Trump and his Republican allies cut funding to a pandemic prevention program in his first term because Barack Obama had created it.

“America first” sends its regards. Trump voters, please learn your lesson. And if you don’t, it’ll be taught to you again with yet another diarrhea outbreak.

They still won't learn their lesson, because people they personally hate are getting hurt. They'd gladly take a broken nose if it meant somebody else's neck was broken.

[hasufin]

I think they hate so much, they'd accept getting a broken neck if they saw someone else getting a bloody nose.

Elmer township

[hasufin]

I wanna say that's a weird name for a cow, but I have to admit I don't know enough about bovine names to be sure. Maybe "Elmer Township" is a perfectly normal name for a cow.

[woman-becomer]

imagine a goat with a hat

STOP-

what hat did you give the goat what is the instinctual hat you gave to this goat

[samiholloway]

Old cowboy hat

[hasufin]

Bucket hat, with special cutouts for the ears.

This I think would be the most hilarious reveal. Brandon Sanderson isn't writing enough of his own books at once, he's also writing dozens of Tinglers. Secretly. The prolificality.

[overseer-picard]

Imagine accidentally becoming a deity to a primitive civilization in a massive Prime Directive clustercuss and the only way to sort of resolve it is by voluntarily getting shot with a compound bow. Happened to my good friend The Picard.

[hasufin]

How the hell did a bronze age civilization get a compound bow?

Like, they could definitely do the pulleys, don't get me wrong. But I think they'd be deeply challenged to make a string with sufficient tensile strength, and if they can make those bow arms they're absolutely fucking NOT bronze age, they're whatever-the-fuck-that-material-is age.

i made a post like this before but I can't find it now. so. I'll just redo it.

What's the first "big news story" you remember from when you were a kid?

It's something I love to ask mixed-aged groups sometimes because I think it's really interesting to see the responses. I've gotten answers from the Olympics of [whatever year] to Watergate to more recent stuff from my niblings.

My first news thing I remember is the OJ Simpson trial. I vaguely remember watching the news with my grandparents before that, but that's the first story I remember, in part because my second grade teacher had us go play so she could watch the verdict 😂

[absolutelynotclassicusernam-blog]

I remember walking down the street and seeing a sign protesting George W. Bush’s war on Iraq, so I think that.

[samiholloway]

Challenger -- my dad had applied, so I knew about it when it was a good story and a sad one. They sent us home from school when it blew up, and then the news played the footage over and over and over all day.

[hasufin]

Same. Oddly I don't recall where I was when I saw it, but I remember it.

no but the “”ai”” boom is crazy bc they made the entire internet so shitty that the only reason to use it is because it’s where all the people are and now they’re getting rid of the people. like i’m straight up logging off and going to the library there’s nothing on here anymore

[mumblesplash]

‘here’s how to tell if an image is ai’ ‘signs the person you’re talking to is a bot’ ‘how to tell if a song is ai generated’ ah but consider this: i am shutting my laptop and walking outside

[jedusaur]

I saw a bsky post last year where someone said their grandma couldn't tell what was real on the internet anymore so she stopped using it and I really, genuinely think the techbros currently ruining everything have never even considered that possibility. their projections and pie charts and market share research and whatever simply do not take into account a scenario where people lose interest in being online. like yeah we're pretty much all gonna keep using the internet to book travel and look up words and order pizza, but in terms of how we spend our leisure time? I'm still extremely online, but in the last few years I've been learning candlemaking and carpentry and sewing, and I was already spending a lot of time cooking and reading books and skating at the rink and hiking, and an afternoon spent on any of those things always leaves me feeling better about myself than an afternoon spent doomscrolling. I think my daily life is going to keep reflecting that more and more as the slop encroaches, and it sounds like I'm far from the only one feeling that way. silver lining to everything, I suppose.

[hasufin]

Their intent is to shut down or monetize all the alternatives.

Mark me, if it doesn't exist already we're at most months from a major restaurant chain instituting an added fee for ordering in person instead of using the app.
