you missed out, but i won’t say on what.

this is honestly the best thing i’ve seen all day

“Homer, are you just holding onto the cans?” lmao

i just spent about 20 minutes writing a thoughtful, engaging reply. it was a good three paragraphs. then i accidentally closed the tab. i just learned that lemmy doesn’t give you one of those annoying “are you sure?” dialogs, and it doesn’t restore what you wrote when you come back. oh well, lesson learned :|

main point i was going to engage with was: it’s different now than it was back then. information is now ubiquitous and very easily shared. but it’s also very easily manipulated. we’re now entering a new challenge, where i don’t think it’ll be about erasing information insomuch as muddying the water to the point that no one knows what to trust. facetiously, you could consider it the “age of firehose” when they call it the “age of aquarius”. i’m old enough to remember the analog days. what will it be like for people in two or three generations who have no footing in the “real world”, so to speak?

(i wrote this in a text editor and then copied it over - gotta make that my new habit. i’m really disappointed, because i had a good stream of thought going for this one)

it’s definitely an interesting thought. whole swaths of digital storage could be wiped out with a significant solar flare or some similar technology. most digital storage requires some sort of power source (ie. a small battery) in order to hold data. if “the power went out and never came back on”, it would be like a ticking clock to data oblivion.

but data is so much more distributed and duplicated now. and i’m sure fuckerberg has a few pb stored on his hawaiian apocalypse resort.

wait. sorry - this isn’t related - but it just occurred to me. maybe i’m just slow. but zuck is building his survival bunker in hawaii. hawaii? like, the place that’s ALL volcanoes? that seems really dumb. i must be missing something. that must be an interesting engineering project.

it fucking poison. i moved to the us from abroad as a kid and spent my adolescence there. moving back to my home country, i quickly realized that i needed to give myself a serious attitude adjustment.

i don’t think many people from outside the us realize just how pervasive fox news is in america. it’s playing on every television in every bar and every airport and just about everywhere else that has a television. it’s non-stop negativity, non-stop arrogance, non-stop disinformation, non-stop convincing people that patriotism is fervent fealty. it’s gotten a bit stale lately to talk about fox, but holy crap their role can’t be overstated in the way things have become.

D’oh!

DON FORGET TO NOD DON FORGET TO NOD DON FORGET TO NOD DON FORGET TO NOD DON FORGET TO NOD DON FORGET TO NOD DON FORGET TO NOD DON FORGET TO NOD DON FORGET TO NOD DON FORGET TO NOD DON FORGET TO NOD DON FORGET TO NOD

and don’t forget to blink. yeah, you forgot, eh?

sucks to say it, but i don’t think we’ll be forgotten. unfortunately, i think we’re gonna be remembered forever. the old god-kings could only wish to achieve what our teenagers now want to erase.

i will never not endorse this post

i kinda want to punch you for posting this

Edit: you’d be well-served on Mars with two of your friends and three of hers.

ironically, poor elon wishes he still has one

unprofessional review: too many organisms involved. it’s supposed to be a roach motel (eagles song), but the ant goes into what is apparently an analogue for the model brothel in the first beetlejuice movie.

as you will understand, my day is ruined.

fuck you.

(edit - Fuck you.)

…BOOM!

it was a 7.

no.

god help us all that picture of him holding the fucking prices and features & benefits on his notes

someone else said it was like watching Billy Mays and the Shamwow guy on a bit less drugs. i thought that was pretty apt.

LMFAO

eltoos up! i’m still figuring all this shit out

oh, there aren’t ninja edits here. so, edited to add the “i’m still…” part

and that part

and this part
