In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

A curse of 600 or more diarrheas on sites/services that on iPhone demand installing a special app & registering an account but on desktop simply open in a browser as a guest. Not mentioning any names like Trello, TikTok or Temu. And I mean 600 concurrently, not sequentially.

Quake is basically a cat simulator: - Only possible interactions are attacking and rubbing against things - Can jump ridiculous distances - Can’t understand anyone - Compelled to kill everything that moves, for fun

Dropped a bolt into my car engine and retrieved it with the most Looney Tunes contraption possible
A cartoonish magnet tied to a piece of yarn. A bolt is held by the magnet. In the background, the open hood of a minivan, provides context and a backdrop.

pro tip for watching movies: turn on HDR if the movie doesn’t support it. that way you can watch it with sunglasses and it’ll dim it back down to normal. that way you can feel cool cause you’re wearing sunglasses

For all bad and broken code, the internet is full of people who can explain why it's wrong and what to do instead. On the other hand, for all amazing and flawless code, the internet is full of people who can explain why it's wrong and what to do instead.
