this is a very fun idea actually! I encourage people to reblog with an explanation as to why/why not

You’d think after a certain point the Christian babies would develop an immunity to baseball bats

U gotta shoot your shot every couple of years in case theyve had mold growing in the house

working with little kids is so dangerous. you get one kid who has a unique way of speaking & then spend the rest of your life with an internal monologue like “me’s go bathroom?”

if they made Jurassic Park an aquarium it'd be over for me. sitting in the megalodon tunnel swaying back and forth as the sirens wailed. "god that fish is big" i would say. and i would be right.

thanks for the comments and asks saying i'm being mean for very mildly saying i don't like when people make social decisions based on horoscopes.

your behavior has made me realize i should be "meaner": horoscopes are fake.

the position of planets and balls of gas did not in any way impact your personality or destiny. it has nothing to do with what kind of people you are compatible with, despite what an app or magazine told you.

i think sincere belief in horoscopes shows a concerning propensity to trust pseudoscience and a susceptibility to confirmation bias.

i'm pretty tired of having to tiptoe around this kind of thing and include disclaimers. if you genuinely think you shouldn't be friends with someone because of the date they came out of a uterus, you're being a clown.

First, see what random superpower you get.

Second, see the other half of your powerset.

Lastly, see what character archetype you'll be.

"New Yorkers bite more people than sharks annually" is an excellent example of how statistics can be misleading. Like yeah no shit, do you have any idea how rare it is to even encounter a shark in the wild? They're not exactly urban animals. I'm pretty damn sure that if sharks were living in big cities like pigeons, just strolling down the streets looking for food scraps, you'd see a lot more news stories about New Yorkers biting them.

somewhere deep in the replies of the dread astrology post there's someone who sincerely asked me how I even know what my own personality traits are if I haven't done introspection with the help of an astrology chart and I really think about that all the time. they presented it like such a gotcha. seemed genuinely certain they were asking s totally reasonable question. absolutely no awareness of the implications of why a structured system of prescribed personality traits might appeal to people with a particularly weak sense of self.

Rimworld's constant dedication to emotional regulation is very ridiculous, but i also have never seen a more realistic game system for simulating emotional states, even if it is just a simple number that indicates good mood or bad mood. On one hand that speaks to how hard it is to simulate and gamify emotions, but it also shows how ridiculous humans are in real life.

Like yeah, maybe someone throwing a tantrum over eating without a table looks stupid, but so do a lot of real life tantrums. Realistically, if I spent the entire day mining stone in the heat and i got insulted twice and my clothes were full of holes and I dont even have a private clean bedroom with a comfortable bed, then yeah the last straw probably would be sitting on the dirty ground eating unseasoned baked potatoes made by a cook who gave me food poisoning last week. I probably would spend the next 4 hours sadly wandering around and ignoring god when they tell me to build a chair

Whenever the history of video game consoles comes up on this blog, folks tend to be surprised by remarks like describing the PS2 as "sixth generation" – like, if the PS2 was already six generations deep, what the fuck did the other five look like? The idea that home video game consoles have been around since the early 1970s is unexpected to many, and I 100% encourage anybody with an interest in the medium to read up on those early consoles, not only because knowing your history is handy, but because they were often pretty fantastic aesthetically. Like, look at this thing:

This is a Magnavox Odyssey from 1972. I love the juxtaposition of sterile white plastic, faux leather texture, and artificial wood grain – it's like it can't decide whether it wants to be a Star Trek prop or a footrest. However, I personally regard 1977's Coleco Telstar Arcade as the pinnacle of the form, because... well:

Like, this is it, folks. This is what peak performance looks like.
