I love watching vegan egg substitute recipe videos despite not being vegan or liking eggs because they're always a reasonable enough soy slurry until they add juuust a pinch of volcanic fart powder to get that eggy hint of fart

pentiment was unfortunately so real for making the two most busted monks gay for each other. sometimes that's just how it is.

they should invent merch for people that don't wear graphic tees and already have enough tote bags and also don't really put stickers on their belongings

I also wonder if people freaked out when sodium bulbs overtook mercury bulbs or if this level of nostalgia for absolutely everything is unique to our current moment

RiverPiracy.org @riverpiracy.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I wonder what the next advancement in street lighting technology will be that makes people pine for the off-white LED tones of their youth the way people are currently eulogizing sodium-vapor bulbs

anybody know why all my fellow air travelers wait until we're boarding a flight that was fitfully delayed over the course of 7 hours to turn into mentally syphilitic hogs incapable of understanding concepts like boarding passes or seat numbers

I think it would have been best to restrict the scope to a limited series adaptation of the first game. I struggle to pin down direct criticisms because many of mine pertain to adaptive changes, and I'm of the mind that a 1:1 recreation is not usually a worthwhile pursuit, but even still..

are video games art or just a crude entertainment commodity? the debate settled: Art IF: lots of reading, full frontal male nudity, ambiguity, TASTEFUL female nudity (sideboob, distant silhouette, etc) Commodity IF: weapon customization, skill tree, "sports car"

these quizzes always guess that I'm from CA/NV. erroneously, btw. I think it's because those areas don't have a very distinct accent and mine is very close to General American, albeit with a few eccentricities (hello, pen/pin merger)

a mental cornerstone of this phenomenon for me is when that half life vr let's play got popular a few years ago and suddenly everyone on tumblr was drawing gordon freeman as a cute little ethnically ambiguous guy with a ponytail

certain algorithms have been showing me lots of asoiaf fandom content lately which is the first time I've really been exposed to fandom in a few years and it will never get old how much those people love to reimagine characters to fit an, uh... afab nonbinary cultural tradition, if you will.

"gritty 70s pastiche crime drama where you see a guy's dick while he gets hosed down in prison" okay! alright!! "mom and dad are getting freaking divorced so we turned them into borrowers while they get taught to love again by a sexy latino book" okay. alright.

it was quite sick and twisted of hazelight studios to premiere with A Way Out and then seemingly shift to making games For the Whole Family™ forever. my girlfriend and I love couch co-op games please let us play something that doesn't also have to be palatable for an 11 year old

there's a certain amorphous but immediately recognizable genre of videos that does a really helpful job of marking its viewers as only partially ensouled. police body cam and interrogation footage, "catching scammers", kids doing something cute on home security cameras, etc.

love getting served shortform video feuds between construction workers and electricians. well it's actually always construction workers talking about how effete and gay electricians are, they're preoccupied with it really.. some type of yaoi going on there for those with the eyes to see

this sounds terribly elitist but threads genuinely feels like social media for peasants. every post I see when I accidentally it or get urged to by Instagram is about a hidden evildoer preying the weak, an invite to gossip over interpersonal drama, or complaints about subpar food from the market

simply not true. it is an unceasing task.

i understand the issues that a shrinking population size can cause re: worker shortages, social security collapse, etc, but it nonetheless feels really weird when people talk about how to "solve" a behavior that seems to be a universal reaction to rising quality of life.

look at that form factor! monochrome ground glass display! built-in control knob! it's also $900 and I can't check the bus times on it

my girlfriend has endured this rant multiple times but man I would actually really love to use something like the lightphone if it wasn't a fake detox phone for rich people and actually let me use things like an internet browser and NFC

I don't think I'm even really trying to grow a big following for my photo stuff rn but it's soo bleak regardless that the only way to do that seems to be like, short form bts content. pleaseee don't make me wear meta glasses while I fondle a tripod. if anyone hears me recording a voiceover I'll kms

thinking on it, it was a great move on GRRM's part to relate some of the most important historical events in his setting through diegetic historical tomes of varying reliability being written centuries after the fact. it's actually quite boring to see these things happening unambiguously firsthand.

I keep forgetting there's a new season of house of the dragon airing until I scroll past a screenshot of those freaky long-haired incestniks captioned like "I know Rheagonaeia did NOT just come for Beatteraeons peasant militia nachos like that 🫣🥴"

deeply conflicted because I believe that the ascendency of El-Sayed and politicians like him is a step towards a better, in fact socialist future, but having to sit through the sickos of this site and the world parroting pithy lines about the power of reading (and capitalism) in the meantime........

okay i've done a pretty good job of reverse-engineering and fine-tuning an archaic method of photography but I do need to remember to actually take good photos with it now

are they actually hoping and/or succeeding in bringing in a new gen of children with this current resurgence of atla properties of is it just childhood-scented mud for people in their 30s to roll around in? I mean I fear I know the answer but.

anyway time to read The Betrothed (1827) because my current strategy for getting back into reading is picking out paperbacks at near-random from the local used book store

finished reading The Sisters Brothers the other day and was left feeling kind of aimless and weird. looked up some discussions on it and it was mostly people saying "yeah it was good but left me feeling aimless and weird!"

my only doordash/ubereats opinion (besides the normal stuff like you're morally weak if you use it regularly) is that I miss the exclusivity of pizza and chinese being The Delivery Foods

an underrated part of the internet getting rotted out by ai is how the description on every other eBay listing is now a copy-pasted chatgpt summary of the item in general, often with the "would you like to dive deeper on this topic?" still attached
