Growing up this bad boy was my family’s only gaming console: It had Ms Pacman, Galaga, Mappy, Pole Position, Xevious… that might have been it? It was like you said, you just plug it into the video and audio jacks, it was all one thing.

Dude’s head is like a blizzard

I try to wash whites alone, but that’s it, and even then I’m not super strict about it. It helps though that probably 90% of my clothes were thrifted, bleeding is mostly a problem with brand-new fabrics

That’s a neat idea. A little dial that flares out the shell where the palms are would be pretty sick. Maybe that’s too complicated and heavy to be worth it, but what if it could be adjustable with a screwdriver?

Ex-mormon, the canon is that to go to “outer darkness” you need to have perfect faith in god, like you know he exists as you know your dog exists, and still deny him. So practically the only people on earth eligible to go there are those who’ve actually seen him or have been sufficiently convinced by one of his angels or miracles, or otherwise witnessed some heavenly shit like that that sheds all doubt, which is why Hitler probably didn’t go there. Also now that I’m remembering this, the “outer darkness” isn’t really a place, you just get shunned by god (light being a metaphor for god and truth)

weke? It’s the Internet, you can say weke

We’re you referencing this by chance?

I’ve been hearing a lot about this “everything that’s manmade, tall, and narrow is a phallus” theory the last few years, online and even in some college courses. Frankly, I don’t really buy it. Disclosure, this is totally out of my field, so feel free to set my take on fire if I’m wrong. I don’t doubt that the phallus explanation is true in a few cases, but for most towers, spires, steeples, and other pointy monuments, there’s a couple of other possible inspirations that seem more likely to me. The first would be the upright and narrow stance of humans as opposed to animals standing on four legs close to the ground, like a monument to human exceptionalism. Another theory that I would buy is that tall things just look cool to us on an instinctual level. Trees, mountains, and cliffs are beautiful and are more easily personified than other natural features (relating back to the first point). They have this dignity and magesty about them, it makes sense that our architecture and art would attempt to convey that.

I don’t know, I guess I’m just projecting when I say this, but I just can’t imagine designing a building with cool spikes and thinking “these represent my dick”.

Ah the old ender wiggen strat

There was that Voltron reboot that was on Netflix about a decade ago. Granted I was a teenager back then, but I remember liking it

Oh neat, that makes sense given the Babylonians base-60 numbering system

And Soul, and big hero 6. Honestly Pixar had a stretch there where it seemed like they couldn’t not make a movie about death.

Yup restaurant food is drugs and it’s turning the fricken frogs GAY

I kind of brought this up in another comment, that “first” and “1st” aren’t really the same thing. Which is confusing when you extend that to fourth/4th five/5th. I don’t generally see someone write “zeroith”, but I’ll see “0th”.

I feel like the joke would’ve landed better if it said “first”. I know it’s pronounced the same way, but I’m gonna argue anyway that there’s a subtle difference. I’ve heard 0th used in cs to describe what was at the 0-index, so in that context 1st would be"second", but “first” generally means “nothing before it”. English is weird. I wonder if anyone knows whether the word “first” or “1st” came 1st (lol)?

Impressive wood

Does the Axiom on Wall-E count as a space station?

What programming language is Afungus Amongus?

The difference is the apes bundle of sticks reinforce each other, to make a larger, more durable unit, while the fascist’s bundle of sticks is only there to protect the ax handle. Those sticks are disposable and replaceable for the preservation of the ax, that’s their purpose.
