I heard if you trade a pokemon early that can use surf and strength and then push the car off the island when you get to the S. S. Anne a Mew appears

Lmao I remember seeing this exact scene as a kid, thinking as he was talking “oh that sounds cool as fuck” and then only from how the scene played out realizing it was supposed to be a significantly boring concept

Christ you pulled that memory out of a basement I didn’t even realize I had

You’ve got it with the second sentence, yep. Something is “on” something if it’s attached to it - so hanging upside-down from the ceiling counts, because it’s attached to it.

Be careful spending that much time there or maybe wear protection, I’ve heard that route is still a bit radioactive

Lmao, watched the musical this past weekend with visiting fam, would recommend

Oh that was just FSN, an actual filesystem browser for IRIX back in the day. You can install the port FSV if you want to browse your files as if they’re 3D objects on Linux today

After having watched it (it was good, watched it with the buddy who had the idea and without telling him why we were watching it, he had a laugh the first time it happened), if you found it a real struggle, definitely don’t read this article about a real company that made a brain implant for epileptics and went under of which the episode heavily reminded me.

Y’ever think about how if Jesus died by a guillotine there’d be guillotines everywhere

Lol, I want to believe it was someone who wanted to slow the spread of this concept in the world, lashing out against it the only way they could.

That said I’ve def bookmarked that episode for watching. I lost track of Black MIrror, it’s a bit tough in that it’s so grim that each episode doesn’t really leave you wanting to watch the next one in my experience. But it’s had some bangers.

Oh wild, good call

Buddy had the nightmarish idea a while back with all the new generative ai stuff for video chat services injecting ads using the faces/voices of the participants in lieu of payment. Just, regularly-schedule ad breaks in your call where “your friend” suddenly starts talking about how excited they are about Raid: Shadow Legends

Ayy, recently rewatched that too. Personal headcannon: a better ending would have been a montage of Eva teaching an amnesiac Wall-E all the things he taught her and have him fall in love with those things and her again in the process. Probably more drawn out than “random electric spark magically resets memory” though

Lmao, I love the idea of adjusting the chart for obesity by subtracting men’s breast sizes from women’s

Yep. It’s a play on two meanings of “cut off”:

“If you cut off my reproductive choice” == “prevent my choice to get an abortion.” “can I cut off yours” == “can I physically cut off your dick.”

Oh jeeze, that’s been around as a plugin in inkscape since at least 2011, I remember vectorizing an episode poster from Adventure Time using it. But I’d believe it wasn’t quite as good as whatever photoshop had. I used the “never learn photoshop” trick to be happy with what I’ve got, but then I only edit images for fun.

Every Time We Touch in my ass

Also kills the opening line of snowcrash,

“the sky above the port was the color of television tuned to a dead channel”

Not to mention the small joys of tuning to the “encrypted” 18+ channels in the hopes of seeing a nip in the fog

It’s meant to inspire a brief moment of dread and surprise for those of us who are not quick at math.

forced to pay for the cost of their own healthcare if they develop any disease that has even a minimal chance of being related to smoking.

Fun fact: smokers on average die much younger than non-smokers, and so end up being cheaper over a lifetime vs. the amount they pay into the system than non-smokers.

So the next time you see a smoker who’s on the same health plan as you, you can thank them, knowing their self-inflicted early demise will likely end up lowering costs on your plan.

Even more fun fact - same with the obese: a heart attack or stroke at 45 is way cheaper than paying for all the end-of-life healthcare healthier people are more likely to get in their 60s-70s when half of them aren’t even working anymore, lazy PoSs.

Really makes me reconsider how I think about those selfish in-shape non-smoker bastards who won’t just smoke or overeat so they die young and make my healthcare cheaper
