My wife left a bowl of soon dubu in the fridge to eat for dinner. She had me verbally confirm three times that I will not eat it lol 😆

Apparently I embarrassed my son in front of his friend. Am I wrong to find this hilarious?

Tangent to the quoted thread, but this post makes me curious if autistic people are less prone to thinking AI is alive? Because they don't model other minds as much as NT people do.

Total tangent, but this thread is the third time today where I've noticed a little 1/2 in the corner to indicate a thread of multiple messages. Is that a new feature? How do you do that?

I just saw a profile warning against mentions of 47. I quickly realized it was talking about President Trump, but for a second I thought this person was all "fuck everyone born in 1979!"

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.

#gamedev #rpg I am working on party movement for my RPG. I have the party following the leader in a line, but I can't decide if it's better to collapse the line back down when the leader stops moving, or have the entire party freeze too. First video shows collapsing...

Seeing this reminds me of a video I saw years ago where a Republican politician from Staten Island was asked some ridiculous thing about Obama (or maybe Clinton? I forget) and his answer was to throw them out of his office.

low key hilarious that the post that triggered the latest round of "Bluesky is dying" discourse has less engagement on Threads than its screenshots have on Bluesky— likely because it contains an outbound link to a news article, which is an automatic shadowban on Meta platforms nowadays 😂

I was just implementing the dirty flag pattern and, despite having done this dozens of times, this time I felt silly writing code like "if isDirty doSomething()". Any other programmers ever have that experience?

I just got a voicemail from an unknown number saying "never fucking call me again!" I assume it's a wrong number, but I'm a little curious if this person is getting spam calls with my number spoofed. Is that a thing?

This is something I often have to point out about games too, that it's all artificial and nothing happens naturally. And often about lighting too! Although it's just as often about physics.
