Remember: if you see someone stealing food from a supermarket, no you didn’t, and furthermore this government told them to.

Thing I just learnt. Soluble Panadol tastes worse than old school disprin. Still better than the kids stuff, but that bar is super low.

Might want to seek a quote or two from this source

thisoneOverhere:
I wanna hear what the Lorax has to say about datacenters please

alishakwon84:
I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees.
And frankly, you've got them all down on their knees.
You flattened the forests, you paved every glen, To build giant boxes for silicon men.
They whir and they blink with a mechanical hum, While rivers grow thirsty and creeks come undone.
So build with more wisdom, more sunshine, less smoke.
The planet's not here for one infinite joke.
I am the Lorax. My message won't bend-You can't upload Earth if it comes to an end.

Not gonna lie that made me tear up a little

I took me a while after moving to Australia to understand that while a pavlova might look simple it has fuelled a great trans-Tasman divide. Australians and New Zealanders use essentially the same ingredients, yet produce surprisingly different desserts. I’ll side with the Kiwis on this one…

Lately I’ve been in an indie team making stop-motion animation. It’s just 4 of us (animator, writer, voice actor, sound designer). The show’s called The Tiny Angry Witch. It’s all basically hand made. No AI. It’s tiring, but we love what we do. So, anyway, here’s a Witch making rude noises:

I still love the theory a Year 6 child proposed to me that David Attenborough is actually God and he got fed up with people not noticing the amazing things he'd created, so he made documentaries to show off.
