In case anyone is having a bad night

(The best of this post and its reblogs, but with links that work)

Here is a website where you can scroll down to all the different levels of the ocean 

Here is a website where you can see the future of the universe

Here is a website where you can press a ‘make everything okay’ button, over and over, until things really are okay

Here is a website that you can read if you feel like a burden

Here is a website where you can look at strobe illusions (TW strobe/flashing)

Here is a website where you can cut stuff up (TW blood/sh)

Here and here are websites where you can play with sand

Here is a website where you can draw with macaroni and other fun foods

Here is a website where you can paint someone’s nails

Here is a website where you can grow a garden with emojis

Here is a website with hundreds of videos of people hugging you (rightfully dubbed ‘the nicest place on the internet’ because it really is, y’all, it made me cry)

Here is a website that will take you to other useless websites

Here is a website where you can make a tiny cat play bongo drums (and other instruments!)

Here is a website to help give you gentle reminders <3

Here is a website where you can grow a tiny farm

Here is a website where you can take a bunch of scientific personality tests

Here is a website of calm rain noise

Take a breath. It’s going to be okay, I promise.

wisteria

[inorheona]

forget trying to explain dubstep to a victorian child, try to explain genAI to yourself from ten years ago. they invented predictive text on steroids and people take its words as gospel. ceos fully believe that glorified autocomplete can replace millions of employees and many people are fired or forced to edit machine's vomit. creative fields are in shambles, everything is slop. anyone can publicly make porn of anyone in one click, yes, including children. no, there are no consequences for that. nothing feels real. no one can apparently write an email anymore. I'd have a stroke.

linkedin is the world's most popular roleplaying site & everyone on there is playing basically the same character

hey so anyone else just, feel thin. sort of stretched. like butter scraped over too much bread. like you need a holiday. a very long holiday. and you don't expect you shall return? or is that just me and bilbo baggins

There are multiple chapters that are set in hospitals where the characters are attempting to recover from injuries that never fully heal. I must once again stress that my experience in WWI was perfectly normal.

[aro-ace-from-outer-space22]

There is a giant horrible mudplain full of unrecoverable and perfectly preserved dead bodies that the characters have to walk through in a land where the air is poisoned gas, and on a compLETELY UNRELATED NOTE: WWI WAS TOTALLY FINE AND NORMAL!!

you may have noticed that my blog is disorganized and thematically incoherent and my tag game is weaker by the day. this is commentary on the chaos of modern existence

"If you're still having fun in your 30s you're functionally brain damaged" sure is a take.

[postmodernmulticoloredcloak]

I don't think fun factors in this, tbh. This attitude makes me suspect they are not having fun. If you have fun doing something, you're like "wow this is so fun, I hope I'll be doing this forever and keep having fun". But this? This feels to me more of a "this is so stressful, anyone that is still doing this beyond adolescence must be insane because why would anyone keep doing this?"

I think that what they see is the online equivalent of 30 year olds choosing to still be enrolled in high school. Insane, obviously, no mentally healthy adult would choose to spend their time in high school.

They're not having fun, they're playing some kind of, idk, high-emotional-stakes popularity game with rigid rules about exclusion and inclusion? No wonder they hope to outgrow it and be free from it as soon as they reach adulthood.

[amuseoffyre]

We never see them going up to sports fans who are cosplaying their favourite players and painting their faces and drawing up fantasy leagues and telling the older gents that "if you're still doing this in your 30s, your mind is decayed beyond belief".

I WONDER WHY.

"i unfollow if our media interests no longer align" I still follow moots haven't spoken to in years and have learned the entire story of deltarune, mouthwashing, that one ninjago lego show, continuations of media I havent been into since 2018 and many others. I don't need a summary of something I just need Mutual to be insane about it on my dash

[bamsara]

these are my mutuals I call them 'advertisement' and 'propaganda' and 'newspaper' and their job is to flood my dash with posts that have no root in my current interests. for enrichment

PSA everyone: Snopes did a solid explainer on that whole "did Chrome/your Chromium browser download a 4GB backdoor AI feature onto your device" allegation. tl;dr yes it does but it seems fairly uncomplicated to get rid of it...so far, anyway:

Google Chrome may have silently installed 4GB AI model on your computer. Here's how to check

We tested our own computers to see if the model was present.
