On a related note, this is objectively the best mass-produced sandwich bread out there and it's not even close

I'm trying to see some Soviet masterpieces like this

A Soviet propaganda poster that says (according to OP) "Don't Desecrate Nature"

It features a tree holding up a man who had littered by his belt and whipping him with some sticks

I swear Apple improved it some early iOS 27 betas, but this menu is back to being the worst UX I have to use on a regular basis Speakers/headphones are never in the same order and then some only show up a second later, moving the entire list upwards so you click the wrong one A god damn nightmare

How I feel about Yung Gravy after hearing his recent Mickey Avalon interpolation

Hansel from Zoolander talking about Sting: "The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that's he's making it, I respect that."

Apple Music using this version of The Safety Dance in their Synth Pop Essentials playlist was certainly a choice

I love this song because 1) it's a straight banger 2) if you aren't really paying attention you'd probably think electricity is a metaphor for a relationship or something but no, the song is literally advocating for more solar electricity

Anyway, here's an old photo (Instagram filter and all) of my boy—he's probably up 75 lbs since then and has also destroyed the entire lawn he's pictured on

It literally hasn't landed one single time, but I will, at least once a month, reference this bit in Zoolander about Fabio being "the best model slash actor and not the other way around"

I don't usually fall for rage bait, but to this day I still think about the time someone posted that they didn't like the Sound of Music because of the pro-Nazi themes

This guy just scared the shit out of me (also this was at like 11 PM—Apple's Night Mode really brightened things up, and not in a good way)

Getting a bed for my cat to put right next to me on my desk was one of the best decisions I've ever made

The Wikipedia app recently updated to use Liquid Glass, and while the UI of the actual app is fine, the logo in their app icon has a number of issues: - Too thin - Too transparent - Multiple SVGs not in a single layer (see the overlap where the "two Vs" cross) - Hard centered (slightly too low)

I mean, sure there's demand from these users but both these models are due for upgrades and Apple always runs stock down before new releases...

Obviously this isn't solely why they are going bankrupt, but USPS shipping something from California → Wisconsin → Arizona → California is just very emblematic of the current state of things there under Trump-appointed dipshits

From the Stitch FAQ—something tells me they aren't on the same level at all

FAQ question asking "Can I export my designs to Figma?" with the answer being "Yes. Stitch allows you to export your generated UI directly to Figma."

Updated one of my favorite pieces of red-scare propaganda for modern times

Hey Google ($3.8T market cap) how hard is it for your AI to figure out that when I Google "[language] translator" I want to have it set to the user's native language as the "other" option so they can immediately do the back/forth translate Instead I'm searching through this nightmare menu every day

The drop-down menu for Google Translate that has so many languages, a US user isn't shown any of the top 10 languages spoken in the US which is as follows from Wikipedia:
#1 English – 245.69 million
#2 Spanish – 42.03 million
#3 - Chinese (including Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien and all other varieties) – 3.40 million
#4 - Tagalog (including Filipino) – 1.71 million
#5 - Vietnamese – 1.52 million
#6 - Arabic – 1.39 million
#7 - French – 1.18 million
#8 - Korean – 1.07 million
#9 - Russian – 1.04 million
#10 - Portuguese – 937,000 (the first one shown!)

Yes I know you can type to search, but this is a bad UI/localization from a company trying to shove AI into every other aspect of Google Search—its indicative that they don't actually use/care about the product

Usually use Carrot to check the sunrise/sunset times but thought I'd give Google a shot to see what their AI told me If Google can't be trusted to code their AI to understand fucking time zones, I wonder what else they might be overlooking?

I would love my cat unconditionally no matter what, but the fact that she's a model certainly doesn't hurt This photo really doesn't do justice to her coat in direct sunlight

I clicked on the link at the bottom and it looks like it's this company Rokt—I can tell it's their UI on almost every instance of this I've seen If this isn't the most technobabble bullshit I've ever seen in my life...
