Zen And The Art of Shitposting

[ante--meridiem]

I'm all for analysing how tragedy is meaningful and important and so on but I do think people really underrate the "wanna see something fucked up?" instinct as a reason for engaging with fiction.

«At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book. We never destroy a book by cutting off its binding. Instead, we digitize it the hard way—one page at a time. We use the Scribe, a book scanner our engineers invented, along with the software that it runs. Our scanning centers are located in universities and libraries around the world, from Boston Public Library to the University of Toronto to the Wellcome Library and beyond. Eliza is one of our fastest and most accurate scanners. Next she will execute quality control checks and fix any errors. Then she ships the book back to our Physical Archive for long-term preservation. Now imagine this: scanners like Eliza have done this 2,000,000 times. That’s what it takes to provide you with a free digital library.» – Plus Internet Archive’s Modern Book Collection Now Tops 2 Million Volumes, by Chris Freeland, February 3, 2021

Funny how that works

I am so pleased at how many notes are some version of “I don’t fear the science, I fear the corporations who control it” because that is EXACTLY the attitude you should have. GMOs can save us. Monsanto will kill us.

[brunhiddensmusings]

what people fear about GMO- ‘theyre gonna make frankencarrots that crave human flesh and cause diarrhea ’ what GMO actually is- ‘we made rice crop that is both drought resistant and flood resistant which will prevent about 20% of major famine disasters, also it now makes vitamin A because vitamin A deficiency in poverty stricken areas is a major killer of kids as most vitamin A rich foods dont grow there’ what people SHOULD be upset about- ‘i made all crops sterile so all farmers have to buy the seed from me in perpetuity and i will sue anyone who tries to go back to crops that produce their own seed’

oh my fucking god

so i’m reading this harry potter fic

and every now and then there are words like “arseented” and “marseaging” and “arseistance” and i was trying to figure out what the hell is going on

finally i got to the word “parse” and figured it out

they’re american so after they wrote it they did a find and replace to change every “ass” to “arse”

i can’t stop laughing omg

[arcanewinter]

“Word has made 436 replacements.”

“That sounds right.”

why you should watch lindsay ellis’s “into the omegaverse: how a fanfic trope landed in federal court”: 

she has to explain a/b/o to her audience 

she managed to get TWELVE other youtubers to voice act for reenactments, including hbomberguy, jenny nicholson, todd in the shadows, sarah z, princess weekes, and an entire legality segment with legaleagle 

every time she has to explain knotting she just blows up a balloon that, unfortunately, has sonic the hedgehog on it,

she says the word “superwholock” about four and a half minutes in 

absolutely insane amounts of legal fights over het a/b/o including perjury

within the first 24 hours after upload lindsay was already sued for it

i feel like this tag is an important addition

Honestly it's not that bad as it sounds. It takes the eagles about 2 hours to get to my liver and another 2 to eat it. The whole ordeal is over by one and I've got the afternoon to myself.

man y'all could not suck disney's dick any harder

[roboco-san]

"if you pirate a movie, think about all the crew members who won't get paid! doesn't the camera man deserve to eat? not everyone involved is rich!" camera guy already got paid, my dude. he genuinely doesn't care whether the movie is successful. he doesn't get a cut. paycheck is already in his pocket and that's all he's gonna get. he's already moved on to the next gig

[trivialpopsicle]

I may be misremembering this but I'm pretty sure only the higher ups (director, the big name celebrities, ect.) get paid on the back end (based on the success of the movie).

The lower people, like the cameraman, their earnings come out of the original budget. They've already been paid and you paying to watch the movie now only helps the millionaire involved in making the movie.

[desperate-acts-of-capitalism]

Yes that is exactly how it works

[iburneddownadennysonce-deactiva]

I brought Turd Boy into the forbidden Studio to find a mouse that's in the closet and he disrespects me like this.

[naamahdarling]

You Judas. You absolute rotten potato. You perverse little imp, you drain upon my soul, you burden, you wretch. You sit there and ignore the stealthy rustling not 8 feet from you and instead supply your own stealthy farts. It smells like an old gym bag in here. Like garbage juice. If I could muzzle your asshole I would. You fiend. You betrayer. Go to hell and share your emanations with the Devil. He surely has more use for you than I.
