In a conservative estimate, youtube costs $3.6 billion a year to run. The population of America is 350 million. If everyone in the usa chipped in $12 a year Youtube could run without ads for anyone. And the more people who chip in, the cheaper it is for everyone. Would you pay a dollar a month?

This is honestly how most things should work - create a common resource and pay for it through the collective labour of every citizen able to do so.

You know that project you wanted to do? It's time to work on it a little. Do one task that you've been putting off. Just one.

Yo, it's D! (Commissions Open!)@paranormalpizzaboy.bsky.social

Would anyone be interested in a painting for 150? If so you can message me, and here are some examples of them I've done before! Really need to grab one of these today so reposts would be appreciated!

It's a sign of a recession that nobody can afford the big funny numbers anymore, we're stuck with 6-7, when we used to have 69,420, and 58008. Wait, this just in, the newest funny number is 4.

You would not believe your eyes If you had a 10 million BMI And fill up the world as you eat and eat. You'd flood the open air and leave sweatdrops everywhere You may think me rude But I'd just stand and stare.

If the -le suffix can be used to denote "done quickly and poorly" with scribe>scribble, can you apply that to other words? Bake>Bakkle Drive>Drivel Draw>Drawl Build>Biddle

For all it's joked about, I've never seen the "psychosexual mech pilot who is basically a mind stapled slave having trauma every day in their fucked up mech" show and I can't believe it's /just/ Neon Genesis Evangelion.

quitting all the games in the PC World display so I could explore the game directory and accidentally getting locked out of it

Tesco Custard Creams - Simple sandwich biscuits available in the UK, which are deceptively high-calorie for their size and price. One packet of these contains 1960 calories. They're 65p - 80p per packet @ Tesco. That means that £10 can get you between 23,520 and 29,400 calories of biscuits.

The British government is banning pornography that includes depictions of choking, incest & adults roleplaying as children. The ban goes into place from November 6th. (www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...)

Realizing that vibe coding is just "insert money, get result if you win the random roll" has made me feel sick to my stomach.

Hey Haystack. Happy birthday, wherever you are. I hope you're doing well. I wish you didn't vanish from our lives, but wherever you are now, I wish you the best. If you ever come back, we'll be waiting with open arms.

I think if people interrogated their taboo fetishes instead of having to hide them the world would be a lot healthier place. You'd be surprised how much is metaphor. If you don't confront them, and try to surpress them, they might fester and hurt you. There's always a healthy outlet.

There's a kind of pornography that's maximalist in nature, where the picture is filled with fetish details, with words and objects and everything, every part of the picture designed to scream the same theme with no reprieve.

I think about how ai generated images work, and they have the same issue - everything in the image has to serve the prompt, so you'll have the same things over and over, frames with words inside them, every inch of the image generated to scream the same theme with no reprieve.

Would that not make an ai generated image pornographic (in the general sense) in nature? Except it's not Sex, it's... Anything, really. Shrimp jesus, crying soldiers, flyers for events. That same intoxicating maximalism.

Unsustainable game development costing the developer money, and those tokens are hella subsidised so it's costing the ai company money. It's literally just burning through cash for everyone involved, so who is profiting?

The developer behind Teach My Little Sister How to Drive, a driving generative AI-powered instruction sim, has been spending $1000 a day to keep the demo running, and now, they've had to take out a bank loan to keep up. https://bit.ly/4rWqe8g
