The best part is OP got fired because their boss asked why they weren’t “incorporating blockchain technology” into the video switcher they were building and OP straight up said “you have no idea what you’re talking about” and went to lunch
the best genre is mousepunk
i consider mousepunk to be worldbuilding where a society of mice adapt human objects to meet their own needs.
Eg. that thing where cartoon mice sleep in empty sardine cans.
controversially, yes, this would include Stuart Little.
more mousepunk!

I’ve seen enough people interpret this scene as “metal realizes he’s not the real sonic” and might as well give my thoughts on it because I very, VERY much disagree to this
Metal is not “realizing he’s not the original” because he KNOWS this. He knows that he’s not literally Sonic the Hedgehog. He insists that Sonic is the copy because he is the better Sonic, and as such more worthy of being “Sonic”
He KNOWS that he’s a robot, and in fact, he doesn’t have any issues with being a robot. He takes PRIDE on being a robot, because he thinks that’s what makes him the better Sonic: stripped away of the biological disadvantages pf his flesh counterpart. He’s immortal. He cannot be harmed in a way that matters. He cannot get tired. He does not have any moral restrictions when fighting. And if anything goes wrong he’ll get improved upon and come back better.
The point of him is that he can do EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING sonic can, but better.
So… what did THAT scene meant then?
It meant that he failed at being the superior Sonic. He sees Sonic struggle with the metal virus, and thinks of himself being more capable of surviving it than Sonic. He believes himself more capable of managing the virus and wants to prove it.
But of course, that doesn’t work. He can’t be better than Sonic at surviving the metal virus if he can’t even infect himself. And it’s not even at any of his fault: it’s not like he chose to be a robot, and for the first time ever on his life, being a robot proved to be a disadvantage.
But also (ALSO) let’s not forget what the metal virus is truly for: making zombies?… yes, but most importantly making slaves. Making brainless, mechanical slaves that will (theoretically) do anything you command them to do. The point of the metal virus is stripping a living thing out of its autonomy and freedom
Then, what does it mean that the metal virus slipped right through his fingers unaffected? That there’s nothing to take away from him. He’s, in spirit, already a zombot. Already stripped away from everything, already perfectly obedient, already a mechanical slave.
And he failed at being the better Sonic because Sonic DOES have that autonomy and freedom. He’s alive, he’s real, and he actually has something to lose from the infection, while there’s nothing to infect at all with Metal. Metal can’t fight away the metal virus better than Sonic, because he has already been infected since before the virus was created.
The previous arc, Eggman’s reprogramming had momentarily tricked him into being complacent to Eggman. Tricked him into accepting Eggman’s orders as absolute and happily do everything he’s told to do. He’s stripped away from his ambitions, now his plans revolving around giving Eggman back his power, and he was oblivious to it all until this point in the comics.
I mean, why do you think the conic ends with Starline ordering him around to get back to work? Because he’s going back to the role he just confirmed he has: the mechanical slave.
And as such, what he truly realizes in this scene is that Eggman won.
Nova's tips for beating the heatwave:
1. Check that you have good access to shade trees, a shelter custom made to fit you and all your friends, and plenty of good airflow
2. Find the hottest, sunniest, and least windy part of you pasture and lay down
3. Make sure you look as much as possible like you have died of heatstroke
4. Get your friends in on it
This is why I read the reddit comments
I love how the notes for this are just chock full of examples of the most batshit specific things people research for their fanfics. Truly a treasure trove.

as humiliating as it is to repost myself from a light-mode-user's reddit screenshot, i cannot allow this year's zenquish to go uncelebrated.
celebrate my favorite holiday with me, my friends.
if the emperors of rome can add extra months that actually fuck the calendar up i'm allowed to add a new month that lasts 0.0000 picoseconds
the last holiday that hasn't been commercialized
i made this up when i was a little kid and nothing would make me happier than to see people celebrating it for years to come
zenquish approaches. prepare to rejoice! briefly!
every movie poster just looks like this to me now
Some kind of road runner, I think!
is there anyone willing to protect me? with a sword?
I have a sword, I can protect myself
but um. is anyone willing to protect me? with their sword 🥺 or you can borrow one of my swords, if you don't have one. and protect me?
um. I’d be willing but I’d need to borrow one. maybe we could. um. protect each other? maybe? 👉👈
we protect each other

People got mad the last time I mentioned Elon Musk is really ugly but he is and it wouldn’t be relevant or worth mentioning if he wasn’t so racist, didn’t have that weird eugenicist streak and wasn’t so disgustingly misogynistic and critical of women’s appearances. We have a guy here who does not fit a single beauty standard on God’s green earth trying to make himself seem superior and trying to make other people feel bad about the way they look.

Mate, you’ve got a chubby lizard on your dashboard
Graced by Geckolepis typica from Madagascar. I love that they’re quite round creatures and then they have these dainty little toes. Also, their scales are full bone and both scale and skin come off when they get grabbed, which is…unpleasant. Consequently, catching these geckos for research without damaging them requires special techniques. 19th century researchers used bundles of cotton wool, but I imagine this wasn’t very effective, because cotton still has a lot of friction and the friction would pull the skin and scales off. In my (quite extensive) experience, the best technique is to carefully and quickly flick the geckos from their tree trunk or branch into an open dry plastic bag using a finger or stick.
I consider myself a real hater but sometimes you really do go too far with haterism. once I had to break mutuals with someone bc they hated the entire art form of poetry and the final straw was when they started hateposting about soup. The food
