[mint spear]

For a couple of hours at least.

[mint spear]

One time I drank coffee

Wow damn.

[opaque tartan]

I have big feet, so that could be quite a big jump

[mint spear]

[night bobcat]

That's called microsleeping, and it starts around 48 hours without sleep

[mint spear]

Oh man.

[void plank]

Lmao those are rookie numbers... Try having sever chronic insomnia.... Longest I have ever been awake with no sleep was 7 days.... It does not feel good... I did dangerous things to try to get to sleep and nothing worked...

[hallow isle]

Did you try sleeping?

[mint spear]

I used to stay awake purposely. Straight days and nights of just playing games.

Used to call it quits when I started hearing shit and seeing things.

Bed, lay on back, close eyes.

[void plank]

I did eventually... For 24 hours straight...

[mint spear]

Does uh

[void plank]

Woke up thinking I hadn't slept because the time was close to the same time I went to lay down... Friends I was living with told me they were about to go check on me because they hadn't seen me leave the room in 24 hours..

[mint spear]

#other-games even have proper embed support for imgur?

I'm not advertising, the NFT I'm posting sold for 60million

I'm not a multimillionaire

I think

well, 69million so more 70mill

[night bobcat]

Oh I see

[opaque tartan]

Gasp

You stole it!

[dry bison]

He's not advertising. He's trying to distribute stolen fake merch

[mint spear]

Oh no, I committed the worst crime a person can commit

[opaque tartan]

This is like the Thomas Crowne Affair

But with shit instead of paintings

Possession is 9/10ths of the law

[spare harbor]

Possession is pointless if someone else has a baseball bat and you dont.

Learned that the hard way lol

That's why they wrote the second amendment in.

possession is meaningful if you own the thing and have a gun

Whatever happened to that pokemon go game where everyone was violating tresspassing laws everywhere to get pokemons?

Is violating tresspassing laws for pokemon still a thing?

Nobody wants to drive it

[mint spear]

Pokemon Go is still a thing.

[night bobcat]

[dry bison]

I kind of care. I did ask.

[mint spear]

Quite a lot apparently, it's still massively popular.

[fickle obsidian]

where are the pokemon going

[night bobcat]

Everywhere

[mint spear]

[fickle obsidian]

wait, can you pet the Pokemon in Pokemon go

[dry bison]

Don't tell that to Japan

They'll be confused about the location of their HQ

Yes.

[mint spear]

I fucking hate this meme already tbh.

ffs

[spare harbor]

What meme?

[mint spear]

DaVinky.

[spare harbor]

Im happily insulated from Memes.

[dry bison]

It's basically like self face palming with words.

When you're confused because you're dumb.

Davinky!?

[spare harbor]

Hrmm, so ignore it whenever I see it, k, check.

[dry bison]

Pretty much

Tiks like it

Toks less

The Tiks and the Toks

[spare harbor]

Its like all the kids adults various sexual insults around town.

Found out its just a meme

The stupidity is so fluid at this point, Im not surprised

[night bobcat]

Keep your memes out of here @noble vessel

[dry bison]

I can't watch tiktok. It's so cringe. I want to smash my phone watching it 99% of the time.

I haven't seen so many try hards in my life

[spare harbor]

Hrmm

I dont mind cat tiktoks though

[dry bison]

Cats don't tik tok

[spare harbor]

Exactly

I dont have much of a sense of humor

[dry bison]

Because youtube never has content stolen

LOL

[spare harbor]

You know, its been awhile since we had someone like Frim in here.

Generally you get a flow of younger people around release tims.

Are you a omen of a upcoming update Frim?

Please let it be so

[dry bison]

I tried to use tiktok but I kept getting the same people pushed in my face constantly, like a youtube algorithm pedaling 5 second videos with even more advertising in them

How they stuffed more adverts in 5 seconds than some youtubers do in 20 mins...

Blows my tissue

What I do get occassionally from tik tok....New music

I'm surprised by the music some times

Sometimes they use real bangers

[fickle obsidian]

i never really saw the point in it, much like vines, & streams

i mean the profit point is obvious, but they're largely insubstantial in terms of content, which is why businesses love them

[dry bison]

It's like McDonalds but even cheaper

[fickle obsidian]

low cost, high profit, what's not to love

[spare harbor]

Vine is dead mostly

[dry bison]

Remember when Disney started advertising to children on saturday morning cartoons?

[spare harbor]

Thankfully

[dry bison]

Then Disney bought your childhood memories and turned them into profit margins

[fickle obsidian]

vine was proto-tiktok

[spare harbor]

For me, a meme is just a snippit of a concept.

Useless mostly

[fickle obsidian]

if the people running it had had any idea what to do with it they would be competing with tiktok today

[spare harbor]

So I tend to not feed on them. I need concepts, ideas, long form. Otherwise, they annoy me

[dry bison]

The Selfish Gene

[fickle obsidian]

it's not even just memes tho, it's a lot of low effort entertainment

[spare harbor]

yeah

[fickle obsidian]

but that's not unique to tiktok either, it was just a new platform to try to get in on

[dry bison]

The more you engage with a meme the more valid it becomes. It exists as a propagation of the idea and by the idea it propagates. It serves nothing but itself - It is truly, selfish

[spare harbor]

In the long run, the economy of memes is fed by the young who have very short attention spans

It makes sense

[fickle obsidian]

although now i wonder how many of its early adopters might still be on there & influential

[spare harbor]

A few

[dry bison]

His name is Richard Dawkins and he coined the term meme 😛

[spare harbor]

Ill give credit to streamers. That can be much higher effort

Exceedinly profitable as well.

Some of the streamers have entire studios backing them.

[fickle obsidian]

well, more like anyone with low attention spans

[dry bison]

I wonder if Dawkins regrets memes in the same way David Mech regrets Alpha Male

[spare harbor]

Well in the case of one of my friends he pulled in about 650k this year from his stream.

However, he generally is a technical streamer.

The platform isnt strictly entertainment

[fickle obsidian]

i think Dawkins is much busier being a dick to care about meme stuff

[dry bison]

True

What do you mean "you people"?

[spare harbor]

He means our generation

[fickle obsidian]

[night bobcat]

Gleam you took a bit of glee in that.

Astronomy Pic of the Day: Ninety Gravitational Wave Spectrograms and Counting

Explanation: Every time two massive black holes collide, a loud chirping sound is broadcast out into the universe in gravitational waves. Humanity has only had the technology to hear these unusual chirps for the past seven years, but since then we have heard about 90 -- during the first three observing runs. Featured above are the spectrograms -- plots of gravitational-wave frequency versus time -- of these 90 as detected by the giant detectors of LIGO (in the USA), VIRGO (in Europe), and KAGRA (in Japan). The more energy received on Earth from a collision, the brighter it appears on the graphic. Among many science firsts, these gravitational-radiation chirps are giving humanity an unprecedented inventory of black holes and neutron stars, and a new way to measure the expansion rate of our universe. A fourth gravitational wave observing run with increased sensitivity is currently planned to begin in 2022 December.

I see some errors with it but it'll do for now. I might fix it up at some point but probably not.

[jaunty copper]

This has left me wondering what an active piece of shit looks like

[mint spear]

Hitler.

[jaunty copper]

O

So with a mustache

[mint spear]

Can't deny that he was motivated.

[elder shale]

Let's not.

[mint spear]

Sure thing.

On a lesser note. I'm not at all motivated today.

I'm on day 5 of my Christmas break and I'm bored AF already.

I wanna play all of the games but none of them. Wanna bake a bread but don't.

[elder shale]

Break Christmas

[jaunty copper]

Break games

[elder shale]

Don't let Christmas break you

[jaunty copper]

Break dance

[mint spear]

Christmas is genuinely one of my most busiest days of the year.

Hate it.

Starts around 6am, presents, lunch, more presents, dinner, family time and maybe time to chill around 10pm for a couple hours.

😔

[elder shale]

Me, who doesn't participate in the buying gift rush or have to deal with all the extended family that means nothing to me:

[mint spear]

This is the last year we're sending out Christmas cards too, cause holy shit this is unnecessarily stressful.

[elder shale]

No gifts unless it's the kiddies

Just good food and spending quality time with family I actually give a damn about

[mint spear]

Yeah we avoid the gift rush, we learned a while back to start early.

We have a ban on visitors over Christmas so it is only my family here which is cool and all but I see them everyday.

[elder shale]

That's why I say I don't celebrate Christmas. In the usual, Western sense I don't.

[mint spear]

Visitors here next Wednesday and then my Mum is due to fly in next week too so she'll be dropping in at some point.

She got to self isolate until her PCR result shows negative so we might not see her right away.

UK rules and that for international travellers.

Final call for visitors is 23rd this year, 24th is getting shit ready, 25th Christmas and then 26th we don't do anything, including cooking.

Such over hyped, not very wow.

[sterile tartan]

I'm always bummed out through the entire holiday season. Thanksgiving through new year

Wow I'm like an hour late to the conversation

[elder shale]

Nah

Hi lol

[sterile tartan]

There's some really strange noises outside
Might be a snow plow with the sound reverberating weird. Acoustics are strange in our complex since it's boxed around a central yard

Makes thunderstorms extra interesting

[elder shale]

Burn me at the stake

[opaque tartan]

Why?

[lucid granite]

[elder shale]

IDK people like to vilify people

OMG wtf is this

[elder shale]

How and why did you find this gif

[sterile tartan]

It's rat boy genius

[opaque tartan]

Peppa Pig's meth addicted brother

[elder shale]

Oh uh

What's that frame at the end

[sterile tartan]

I think he burned his house down by being too close to the fire idk

[elder shale]

It looked like the WTC for a second

[sterile tartan]

They're uh

[opaque tartan]

[elder shale]

You know it's the Mechanicus because it's got pipe organs mixed with basically EDM lol

[hallow isle]

My nearest kirspy kreme is not near 😦

[sterile tartan]

I'm gonna get some chicken later that isn't frozen and pre-prepared specifically for making stir fries and such
And
Make chicken strips

[lucid granite]

[sterile tartan]

Actual pan frying seems decently easy. Possibly dangerous because oil but that makes it fun

[elder shale]

That gif makes me seriously uncomfortable.

[sterile tartan]

That dog looks part coyote lol

[lucid granite]

i can't figure out this gif fully

how much is cgi'd or a filter?

[sterile tartan]

Doggo looks like he's gonna barf either way

[lucid granite]

none of the movements look natural

[thick stump]

seen these krispy cremes in a couple of supermarkets but are quite expensive for what you get

they are nice however 😄

[sterile tartan]

Spotify is refusing to work on the tv

[elder shale]

Oh no

is it

time to blast Christmas songs on the TV

[sterile tartan]

No blasting yet cuz soul is sleeping and it's 6:30
But yes to the music
If it fuckin loads

It doesn't have an update

[elder shale]

lmao

I didn't know you could use Spotify on the TV

Never tried

then again I default to YT on TV to watch vids

[sterile tartan]

I hate that I have to check the damn tv for updates

[elder shale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s50vvwTystA&ab_channel=LeeWalters

I hope this lamb helps

[sterile tartan]

I don't use YouTube on tv really cuz of ads

I could use my laptop if this refuses to work

[elder shale]

Oh I never had ads on TV

on phone, yes, loads

It's ridiculous

And that's when the app is working properly

sometimes the video doesn't work and you have to click another video and click back to the video you want to watch

[sterile tartan]

Mmkay gonna see what happens with YouTube for music lol

[lucid granite]

why did this need to be a gif emote

[elder shale]

IDK

[sterile tartan]

Off to a good start with this playlist cuz Wham!

Last Christmas

Building puzzles and listening to Christmas radio on YouTube. Perfect

Soul is gonna get up in a few hours and be like
The heck

[thick stump]

i don't mind xmas songs but the radio really do overplay them

[elder shale]

Oh God

Soon you'll just have Mariah Carey on repeat

[sterile tartan]

The day after Thanksgiving at the grocery store
And working at a grocery store
I wanted nothing to do with Christmas music that year lol

[thick stump]

already heard that one several times @elder shale

[elder shale]

I'm so glad

I'm able to avoid all that

[sterile tartan]

Lol

[thick stump]

i can't even have my own music or ear plugs due to using a radio for lone working and calling out faults purposes

[lucid granite]

one of the answers to the question "how does knowing latin and greek roots benefit a student" was "the student will receive higher grades in school and on standardized tests"... how the heck do those go hand in hand??

the only answer that felt legitimate was being able to figure out the meaning of unfamiliar words easier

[civic ferry]

what the heck is an update preview?

I can roll it back? But I can do that anyway...

[lucid granite]

get a wittle peak into dat sweet sweet .NET update mhm mhm

[opaque tartan]

YESSS SPIRIT

This is one of my few acceptable Christmas songs

Because I love George Michael

[sterile tartan]

Haha

[opaque tartan]

Watching him frolic in the snow

Oh George

[sterile tartan]

I like most Christmas music
On my own terms though

[opaque tartan]

I think over time, hearing it so much when living in a city because all retail places play it I might have become a little tired of it

But never George

[sterile tartan]

....not this song. There's no place like home for the holidays is kinda just depressing

But I don't feel like messing with the music so I'll let it go

Puzzle

s

[opaque tartan]

Is that Jasper?

[sterile tartan]

It's not but it does look a lot like him

Makes me wanna try putting a scarf on him though

He might bite me

[elder shale]

dew it

[dry bison]

"I'm Logan Paul and this is where I keep my people"

[sterile tartan]

Lol

I'll try putting a scarf on Jasper next time I'm at the house

[dry bison]

When I was a kid I had a keytar that auto played the instrumental from Last Christmas

Back in the 80s

[sterile tartan]

That's cool

[thick stump]

when George hit that wall 😄

[sterile tartan]

Heh

[dry bison]

Put the jitterbug into his brain. Went a bang bang bang until his feet did the same.

I have a feeling that George Michael was against abortion

The video popularizing that song "Wake me up before you go-go" he's wearing a Choose Life shirt

[sterile tartan]

He also could have been anti suicide, or pro embracing life while you're alive

[dry bison]

The false dichotomy presented by people who were against abortion back then said you were either pro choice or pro life

Possibly

Going to study it now

[sterile tartan]

https://youtu.be/YJ2E5AaOJNY

Disclaimer: this is a positive song

[wheat wren]

oh no

[sterile tartan]

It is

It's about whether you're actually living or if you're only waiting to die

So it's like
"Get up and do the thing if you wanna choose that"

Or just sit there idly and let life happen around you instead

[dry bison]

"Choose Life" is a slogan for a campaign fighting against AIDS

[sterile tartan]

Ah

That makes a lot of sense

[dry bison]

Hah. Apparently I had a shirt made by the same author of that shirt, Catherine Hamnett, and I didn'te ven know it

"Save the Whales"

[sterile tartan]

Nice

[lucid granite]

im hungry

[elder shale]

eat

food

[lucid granite]

no

[elder shale]

i am making spaghett

[lucid granite]

my tongue hurts

[elder shale]

yes another 4 pm lunch

why does your tongue hurt

[lucid granite]

good question

ill get back to you on that one

if i ever figure it out

[elder shale]

oh you're not talking?

cat got your tongue uh?

[lucid granite]

😌

my mouth tastes weird

[dry bison]

Stop eating your mouth

No wonder your tongue hurts

[lucid granite]

there's just

a taste

im not eating

i haven't eaten in over 12 hours

[dry bison]

Describe

[lucid granite]

uhhh

tastes like the smell i always smelled when i had covid

[dry bison]

Tastes like a smell

[lucid granite]

except much weaker, because that smell was rancid

[dry bison]

Sounds like brain damage

[lucid granite]

well yeah, smells and tastes kinda go hand in hand

[dry bison]

😛

[lucid granite]

like you can probably guess what a tire tastes like

[dry bison]

Maybe it's just a smell

[lucid granite]

hmmm

well the taste isn't here now so im confused but oh well ill live

[dry bison]

Have you had your tonsils removed?

[lucid granite]

No

i cracked the code

there's a cut or smthn on the side of my tongue

probably bit it in my sleep

[dry bison]

Oh. I thought maybe you had tonsil stones.

[lucid granite]

passing a tonsil stone sounds very painful

[dry bison]

You don't pass them....

[lucid granite]

oh i was thinking they were like kidney stones

except comes out of the mouth

[dry bison]

They're stones made of bacteria that can form in the mouth...they stink and taste horrible

[lucid granite]

oh huh

[dry bison]

Most commonly found in people who have had their tonsils removed, hence their name

[lucid granite]

ah, makes sense

[sterile tartan]

No one wants this from any other angle

[dry bison]

Looks like a tonsil stone

[sterile tartan]

Tonsil stones are also common if you have a weaker immune system

Damn parts of the immune system not wanting to do things properly

You get this angle anyway

[lucid granite]

both angles are kinda scary

[opaque tartan]

I'd wear that as a mask

[sterile tartan]

Lol. Yeah

It's just scary in general tbh

[opaque tartan]

So is my face

[sterile tartan]

Thanks not-hex. That's all I see now

[mint spear]

np

It's all I can see.

[opaque tartan]

@sterile tartan this as a mask

[sterile tartan]

I want that mask

[dry bison]

Looks like a still life shot of someone's face removed mid face punch

[opaque tartan]

Did you make that?

[sterile tartan]

The same way I made the elephant seal ones

[opaque tartan]

Wicked mate

[sterile tartan]

Image editing

I'm pretty sure I have one with the elephant seal on that background actually

[dry bison]

It's very meme. "Surprise motherfucker!" snap to face gone....I'm genuinely surprised.

[sterile tartan]

Yep

[dry bison]

All these romantic silly pictures make awkward tinder profiles

[mint spear]

Hahaha

[sterile tartan]

Name: Elephant Seal
Nickname: nOse
Likes: travelling, dimension hopping
Dislikes: sitting still

[mint spear]

[opaque tartan]

Oh Spirit

That's not what Tinder is like

So innocent

[sterile tartan]

I know what tinder is like

The seal doesn't tho

[opaque tartan]

Oh God

Run Spirit, run for ya life

Tinder is fucking horrendous now

Hinge is way better

[sterile tartan]

I don't need tinder lmao

[dry bison]

I've never actually gone to Tinder. I use it as the butt of a joke, fully aware the entirety of my first hand knowledge is third hand experiences written by comedians making fun of it

[opaque tartan]

Obvs

Some of my friends (couples) make accounts just to troll

ngl it's pretty funny

[dry bison]

Online dating to me is like playing a MMORPG to roleplay. Go away old man. I don't want to have cybersex.

[sterile tartan]

My dad met his last wife on a dating app. They were together for a while

[opaque tartan]

Nah that's what people use Discord for

[sterile tartan]

Then she left him for a girl on her softball team

[opaque tartan]

Hahahaha

[sterile tartan]

And he was like
"Wat"

[opaque tartan]

Your dad is a Triple OG

He doesn't need that

[dry bison]

I find this episode of seinfeld amusing

[sterile tartan]

Lol

[opaque tartan]

I've had some pretty good dates from apps

Only met a few psychos

[dry bison]

Life is so much funnier than fiction

[opaque tartan]

Totally is

[sterile tartan]

I gave a nice heartfelt speech at the wedding. So imagine my surprise when it didn't last

[opaque tartan]

Maybe you can get an AI generated speech for the next one

[dry bison]

"Honey we need to work this out. Spirit made such a nice speech"

[sterile tartan]

Obviously I should solidify marriages with words. That would be such a useless superpower

[opaque tartan]

Reverend Spirit locking people in

[sterile tartan]

"I now pronounce you partners for life now get over it and love each other dammit"

[opaque tartan]

Ok you're performing my wedding Spirit

This is what we need

Her eyes are super reflective. It's kinda mesmerizing

My phone tried to say mesopotamia so it's that too I guess. Somehow

[dry bison]

I'd give up my human nose for a dog nose.

They're so dog nose

The issue seems to be that the fabric is slightly more coarse than regular material.

I mean, realistically it looks fashionable and comfortable
