  • My partner is neurospicy and uses the front left.

    I didn’t really care about which burner until I saw their range, and they’re quite oddly shaped.

    Front right is just massive, back right is tiny, front left is normal and then back left is some weird in-between the normal and giant front right fob.

    I have absolutely no idea who designed that stove, maybe it was data mined or something

    But needless to say, the front left it was










  • Weird; I came pre-installed with this weird thing that tells me if what I’m doing is right or wrong, absent of cultural norms.

    The joke here is that it doesn’t exist in everyone, we just presume it does.

    The assumption of pre-existing universal empathy turns out to be a fatal flaw for a collective, even when the absent rate of empathy is small (<3% of the population).

    My grandmother, bless her soul, grew up on a farm and her solution to psychopathic tendencies in society is to “tie a bag of potatoes or stones to them and drop them in a river”.

    I said: “Grandma, what about rehabilitation?” She didn’t exactly understand the word completely but she said: “After killing six people and two children, the river does it.”

    And you know what? Even then, capital punishment still feels wrong.


  • So what you’re saying is that we need a better QR Code format

    Because easily scanned data engraved in stone scannable by pocket supercomputer is pretty sci-fi.

    I wouldn’t mind getting 900 words about someone in pure text form if it worked, and/or maybe a hologram using some sort of data saving format like pointillism (cloud of points forming a 3D image).


  • I watched Serenity in theaters on opening day not knowing anything about Firefly, and when Wash got speared, I shit you not, half the audience audibly gasped and more than a few people sounded in genuine distress.

    I watched the TV series later and understood why.
