I know they're named after him but for reasons I can't fully articulate it's hilarious that the guy who invented zeppelins was named Ferdinand von Zeppelin

I don’t think I can stress enough how many people on here need a hobby like 95% of what people refer to as jobless behavior is actually just hobbyless behavior. Take up watercolors or tabletop or join a hiking group or something you probably won’t feel as much of an incessant need to freak out on the internet every day

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet.

ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

Chinese netizens discover that Shenzhen has a city-wide standardized school uniform system, unlike other Chinese cities where each school designs its own. (School uniforms in China have evolved into a fashion phenomenon, gaining huge popularity. Some campus kdramas even directly feature Shenzhen’s iconic uniforms, despite south korean high school students typically wear western-style uniforms. Meanwhile, China’s sporty, all-purpose uniforms remain the standard across all occasions. Kdramas have been converging with Chinese styles like adopting the three-stripe design and classic blue-white design. Now many sportswear featured in Kdramas is practically identical to Chinese school uniforms.)

China's sporty school uniforms are designed to be worn for all occasions (both formal and casual) mainly because: they're practical and egalitarian. With public school classes typically having 30-40 students, these affordable uniforms (costing just ¥50-200) help minimize economic disparities among families. The loose fit accommodates growing teenagers, while the durable fabric withstands China's intense academic schedules (often over 10 hours daily) and doubles as PE attire since most public schools lack changing facilities. Culturally, parents appreciate how uniforms reduce focus on appearance and potential distractions like early romance. This sporty design became standard after 1993 when China's textile industry specialized in sportswear production, unlike western-style uniforms that require dry-cleaning and ironing, these are low-maintenance for busy working parents. While Japanese and Korean school uniforms cost 6-8 times more (including dress shoes and accessories, interestingly jyoshi koukousei and danshi koukousei western style school uniforms also have a big fanbase in young people subcultures in china), and some elite Beijing schools are experimenting with blazers, these no-fuss athletic uniforms remain the most practical choice for China's vast and diverse student population, though they've unexpectedly become fashion icons, even inspiring luxury brands (Chinese youth campus romance dramas have become a cultural phenomenon).

God what i wouldn't give to have the sheer stamina and work ethic of my next door neighbor. Every morning, 8am, the hammers and drills come out. he's putting up shelves. he's feeding cables through walls 6 inches from my pillow. He's putting together furniture. He's making smoothies. He's 74 years old. Does it piss me off? of course. But i have to admit that he is clearly also the superior being. I need The Substance but to turn me (anemic 20-something with the constitution of a consumptive Victorian child) into this absolute beast of a man

the tv show "the torment nexus game is bad" being a poignant critique of wage slavery and class disparity and capitalism that is popularized in the west by big tv corporation bc it makes them money, then being turned into "the torment nexus game is bad: the game show" by the most souless and therefore most popular youtuber because it makes him money, so then big tv corporation makes their OWN "the torment nexus game is bad: the OFFICIAL game show" to make even more money off the "the torment nexus game is bad" fictional critique of capitalism tv show, and then it turns out that many allegations of torment nexus-like conditions come out of both reality tv game shows but there aren't any consequences. and then Bigger Corporation goes to the soulless youtuber and is like. lets make another "the torment nexus game is bad" -esque game show to make us a lot of money because the people stuck in the torment nexus love that shit. it's called "the torment nexus game is fun :-)" and then the writer of the "the torment nexus game is bad" posts on twitter that he fucking hates his own story and what it has become. you would think this is a plot from a heavy-handed early black mirror episode but it is unfortunately a plot from real life
