The Adventures of an Arctic Fox

The arctic fox, also known as the white fox, polar fox or snow fox, is a small fox native to Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere and is common throughout the Arctic tundra biome. The fox has a low surface area to volume ratio, as evidenced by its generally rounded body shape, short muzzle and legs, and short, thick ears. (In reality, this fox is a man in his very early 50s, currently living in Hawaii, enjoying random fun on tumblr.)

There's a thing in Classics studies where you'll read surviving descriptions of Ancient Greek automata which attribute all manner of near-lifelike behaviour to them – then you look at the reconstructed plans for the automaton in question, and it's a device with roughly the sophistication of a wind-up mouse.

The broad consensus seems to be that the authors of such descriptions are exaggerating for clout. For my part, I look at all the people in the year 2026 who've managed to genuinely convince themselves that LLMs are not only sapient, but smarter than they are, and I think: hmm.

rpg setting with multiple competing units of damage/resilience used in different regions. you gotta worry about the conversion between hp celsius and hp fahrenheit

[hbmmaster]

"1 hp is the amount of damage dealt by a one gram sphere of pure iron traveling at one meter per second against a 1x1x1 meter cube of graphite at standard temperature and pressure" versus "it's so intuitive, 100 hp of damage hurts a lot and 0 hp of damage doesn't hurt at all so you can just think of it as 'percent pain'"

"Fantastic Planet" by Peter Elson was the artist's first published work, in Science Fiction Monthly V2 N11, November 1975, after winning the Readers Painting Competition. The printed centerfold reversed the painting, but I prefer this original version.

Spherical spaceships and space stations were popular subjects in the 1970s, even before the May 1977 premiere of Star Wars.

I hope your vibrator runs out of battery halfway through and that the charger is on the other side of the room. And also that you die
