"I'm against drugs" is like the stupidest statement ever. Like what do you even mean by "drugs" in this context? Where do you draw the line? And then watch the people proclaiming these things ingest alcohol, one of the most toxic, addicting and dangerous drugs we have, on a weekly basis

If Nintendo Switch 2 games are already on the eShop but just can't be installed on the Switch 1, doesn't that mean that DK bananza and MK World are technically already out and released, just their system is not? Like you can buy the games, you just can't install them anywhere

My colleague pulled out a Game Boy Advance SP out the other day. Told me he got it cuz he needed a fun lil game machine to play Pokemon on vacation

Based teacher (but i do prefer VS Code) #software #aerospace

I'm a vegetarian, but through @kurzgesagt.org's newest video (and some follow up research), i found out that mussels, and bivalves in general, are pretty good for the environment. They also do not have a brain, so they do not suffer in any traditional way. So I'm making an exception from now on

Legend says that if you leave your team steeping for too long, you create coffee

I'm gonna say it: A major is a fucking annoying key to play piano in

Where my train nerd bluesky buddies at?? #trains #trainspotting

I'm just that kind

If God's design is so perfect then why do I have to pee again immediately after leaving the toilet?

How many open tabs do you have?

"You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween" is so stupid for a Muse song, but it's so funny lol (Do appreciate the Bach reference at the end tho)

I have a feed on for The Hague, because i live there, but apparently "taking someone to the Hague" is a metaphor for taking someone to the ICC or the ICJ, which is fair enough, but I wanted news about my city, not news about the Gaza genocide

In a few years, i will be older than the age gap between me and my parents, and that feels weird because when that has happened, there will be a past period in which my parents had less life experience, memories and wisdom than me

In Nebula, @nilered.bsky.social's Red and Blue videos are grouped so I legit thought he was going to chemically engineer the flavour of coffee in some crazy way, but sadly it was just a Nileblue video

As a car free public transport enthusiast that doesn't even have a driver's license, I love that YouTube keeps giving me car ads. Fuck McDonald's or KFC or whatever crypto platform I have to use, just keep showing me cool cars I'm never going to buy!

youtu.be/n09JGRMfMds?... very sad to see Dawkins go down this road. But i think the atheist community will survive without him anyway

Wonderful Christmastime must be the most uninspired song by the same guy who wrote "Yesterday" and "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" At least John's has the children's choir

The Polar Express is a bit like Shrek where at first watch you look at the weird animation and characters and think "what am i even watching" but on later rewatches you start to love the story and the wacky scenes and realise why it's a classic

It's weird realising that 10, 100, 100000 are not special numbers by any means. They're as much an integer as 568 and as rational as 87.96. They're not prime, they don't do anything remarkable. They're just nice and round because we made them that way

I think taking your partner everywhere uninvited should be called "Yoko Onoing"

Reminder that objective morality does not exist If you believe in God, then morality is set by his divine opinion, that sadly still doesn't make it objective

Losers be like "I'm funny because I made you the angry wojak"

I dont think people realise that Time chooses the most newsworthy person op the year, not a person that Time specifically likes. Many horrible people have become person of the year, that doesnt say so much about Time as it says about the state of the world in general

Looking forward to having a taste! @jameshoffmann.bsky.social #coffee #coffeenerd

Just finished Cixin Liu's "The Dark Forest", one of the better pieces of science fiction I've read. The restrictions it places on technological advancement make a future civilisation a tangible one, one that feels like a logical continuation of humanity's history. Can't wait to read "Death's End"!

Can people stop bitching about metal in microwaves?? ITS FINE as long as the metal does not have a lot of reflective surface area (such as aluminium foil) or touch the sides of the microwave. I even permanently keep a metal pizza baking tray in my microwave oven

Hometown by Twenty One Pilots is a bit corny but DAMN that synth riff slaps

I left my lip balm at my partner's house and now I'm resorting to vegetable oil because my lips are starting to look like Death Valley

Restless Heart Syndrome is an underrated Green Day song, that chord progression slaps

I love how when watching a show from the 2010s they always have BlackBerries and Nokia's at the start of the series and a few seasons later they have the exact same phones as us Smartphone technology has really not changed in a decade

Nobody rides transit! -> Transit service remains bad -> Nobody rides transit!

Only good thing Trump has ever done for me (I managed to sell the crypto I regrettably bought in 2022 for profit). It can only go downhill from here!

Okay so I just put on better music and the contrast in production is wild. How does Panic!'s production suck that bad? The songs are okay but how do you produce a record where none of the instruments are actually audible??

Listening to a Panic! at the Disco album for the first time in years. I'm a staunch defender of Panic! and I don't think it's the god awful music some people make it out to be. But it's just not that good? It's nostalgic to listen to but it just kinda makes me want to listen to better music

Joey scheufler denkt dat 100% van onze informatievoorziening op social media is? Spreekt Joey geen mensen in de echte wereld?

Ah yes, the toilet etiquette

Anybody want like $8 of free Ethereum? I'm stuck with it, the network fee for selling or swapping is way too high and I want to get rid of my crypto. The only way to get rid of it now is to transfer it to a different wallet, or to buy more and then sell it all, incurring more fees I don't need

Interesting how compressible aerodynamics is so much easier to comprehend

Why does this aerodynamics lecturer have such decent handwriting on a blackboard to then become completely illegible when he illustrates something on the screen

Mike Dirnt was cooking with this one, this shit is waaaay to hard, and I haven't even gotten to the solo yet

I was in the shops and I just heard the most soulless bossa nova cover of Help! like how does someone miss the point by that much

It's time for my yearly rewatch of @hbomberguy.bsky.social's oof video!!

Damn it has been longer since the last Radiohead album than the time it took The Beatles to make their entire catalogue

I'm diving back into @vsauce.bsky.social Nostalgic existential dread :)
