Play me in Fighting Games

Allegedly a blog for recording and elaborating on my various brilliant ideas for stories, games, and comics. Mostly I just reblog silly stuff and goof off.

Getting down on my knees and thanking the humans who invented dishwashers and washing machines.

[ihonestlydontknowwhattocallthis]

InsNe that dishwashers are more efficient and easier than just washing them manually but they also use less water. It’s a win win situation

[systlin]

They ALSO sterilize dishes, due to operating at a far higher temperature than human hands could ever tolerate. It's a win every way.

[systlin]

Made this post about 15 minutes after the repair guy who fixed the pump on my dishwasher packed up his tools and left, as the dishwasher was whirring along doing my dishes from that morning.

He said the exact same thing, which I did not know before that, so spreading this knowledge.

Say you break your ankle. You could know everything there is to know intellectually about the injury. Even with this vast knowledge, you will still experience physical pain.

Now take this logic and apply it to things like ADHD, autism, clinical depression, and other less visible/divergent disabilities. You cannot think your way out of feeling.

That is to say: you are not a bad, lazy, or selfish person for struggling, even if you know why you are struggling.

Genuinely, thank you so much for this.

gentle reminder that you can’t get this kind of nonsense from any other site

This thread is almost eight years old and it has damn well earned its place among the Tumblr pantheon as a Heritage Post™️

TMNT: Empire City VR (2026) has no business being as funny as it is.

[so-much-for-subtlety]

in 2015 we didn’t have AI psychosis so people had to make do by believing a dress was white and gold

[thickness-protection-program]

Because it was

[queer-as-city-folk]

Is the gold in the room with us right now?

[thatoneliquidbicricket]

yes. the dress is gold.

...

the dress has always been gold

r u saying this doesn't look white and gold to u???

...

[queer-as-city-folk]

what.

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

it's a white and gold dress in cool blue dim lighting w/ bright warm light behind it, making an optical illusion. we're not fucking doing this again

[im-mender]

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

oh god fucking damn it

[kaban-bang]

I know tumblr likes to exclusively make it about bloody hospitals but this is what Color Theory is about

[theflowergrrl]

HOW DID THIS DISCOURSE COME BACK IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2026!???

[marzipanandminutiae]

when I tell you people were shouting up and down my dorm's hallways about this when it first happened

(the dress was by Roman Originals and it was in fact blue and black. but they made a one-off white and gold one for charity later)

Reblog if you’re 30 or older

This is an experiment to see if there really are as few of us as people think.You can also use this to freak out your followers who think you’re 25 or something. Yay!

[charlesoberonn]

Turns out you can roll a 7 on a d6

but only once.

[akilah12902]

Some Yu-Gi-Oh! bullshit right there

[orcposts]

do not go gentle into that good night

[orcposts]

be a bit of a bitch about it

[transbian-uprising]

can't in good conscience leave this out

[datadegroove-deactivated2026042]

I will NEVER deactivate. and how DARE you

[imp]

everyone needs to start putting in offers on random houses at like 50% lower than the list price and then when the seller gets pissed off be like "okay well it's not worth the price you're trying to sell it for so i guess i'll move on"

this is called downward pressure. utilize your power.

[imp]

should i post this on linkedin

[astralikacastle]

yes

[were--ralph]

This really says everything

[mino2aur]

do i want to come to "the circus"? (apprehensive) describe it with two adjectives first

[allegedly-human]

Banal and physical

[graffitinight]

When you try to talk about enshittification, it sounds like conspiracy theories. (I'm not crazy)

Amazon made their service worse, to force people to pay for Prime.

Nowadays, if you order from Amazon, there is a week long delay before your package is shipped. (on purpose)

I remember when orders would ship out the same day. (I remember - it was real)

YouTube didn't used to have ads. Now, ads play in the middle of videos. (it's worse than TV ever was)

The best can opener I have owned is over 40 years old. Modern ones just don't hold up as well. (The ones I bought new broke ages ago)

The bread machine my mom got for her wedding lasted 30 years. It's been replaced twice in the last 5 years. (How can you fuck this up?)

The cardboard tubes in the middle of toilet paper rolls have gotten larger. (This too?) Companies increasing the price of the product while selling you less. (REALLY?)

It sounds crazy. (it's the truth) When you talk about it, YOU sound crazy. (it's true)

Even when people believe you (do they really), all they can say is "it sucks". (it's too big) Because the problem is so big, so pervasive, what can we even DO about it???

To get the necessary laws written and passed, we need politicians, to get the politicians elected we need information campaigns, to fund campaigns we need money, and all the money is being hoarded by the people profiting from enshittification. (it sounds so fake)

So I talk about enshittification (it sounds crazy), so people don't forget that things have been made worse on purpose (it's true), even though I sound crazy. (maybe I am)

It's called planned obsolescence and it was invented when lightbulbs could still run for 1000 years. Enshittification is the web-specific (and more specifically social media) version of that.

[enkiduofvideogames]

okay, lightbulbs. Not planned obsolescence. Lightbulbs (Tungsten Filament incandescent lightbulbs) were always treated as a disposable good, because the physics of such lightbulbs due to the technology made them so.

Yes, longer-lasting lightbulbs were possible with Tungsten filaments, however that had the very real drawback of much worse light quality. Tungsten glows due to having electricity run through it, and eventually would break. The higher the voltage, the hotter they run, the more light you get out per watt. But conversely, running it cooler resulted in much worse light efficiency. Long-life lightbulbs did exist. And they would cost you more in electricity than the cost of buying a second lightbulb.

Planned Obsolescence is a very real thing, but the old tungsten filament incandescent lightbulbs are not a good example of it. Ironically, lots of modern LED lightbulbs ARE, because it's cheaper to run them hot on poor-quality electronic drivers that make them burn out faster, so that people buy more LED bulbs.
