OTOH the idea that Windows tortured pewdiepie seems like a point in its favor.

Yeah there’s a large part of social media now where I no longer have any fucking idea what’s going on. This is that part.

Clearly the Vatican needs a ring job.

On social media the standard is to call everything AI by default. It’s nearly impossible to prove otherwise before people lose interest in the thread, so you can feel right every time. Nothing but win!

By golly you’re right, the consensus is that people in simple foraging societies worked about 6.5 hrs/day. Scholars seem to believe medieval peasants worked more like 8-16 hrs/day, depending on how long daylight lasted - but taking frequent rest breaks, festivals and other holidays.

Skipping lunch is now “intermittent fasting”.

Not mowing the lawn is now “meadowscaping”

I don’t think it’s the level of busy - for most of human history mere survival took a lot more time than it would take us today if we worked directly on actual survival. The problem is that we do the survival by working on too much irrelevant shit that enriches other people, who keep making our share less and less.

Obviously any business model’s problems should be blamed on whatever breaks it.

Weirdest instance I can think of where somebody lost something important was a young woman doing a bouncy Irish stepdance on a sidewalk above a very steep embankment. Suddenly her phone flew out of her sweater pocket and she back-kicked it over the precipice.

Alright that was a bad example. Animals don’t show signs of moralizing about killing other animals. At least my cats sure as hell don’t.

I srsly doubt that animals put that much thought into such things, especially considering that most of them lick their own butts.

Yes, I don’t get how watching videos on tiny screens is so popular. Seems like self-imposed misery.

Looks the same to me on a PC. Up/down arrows still adjust the volume. Scroll wheel on my mouse scrolls the entire screen as always. Do the changes only affect touchscreen devices?

I’ve never understood reading on the toilet, or nowadays playing on a phone. I sit down, shit, wipe, I’m gone. The whole process takes me like 2 minutes and I don’t go in there til I’m ready. Seems like there are much more comfortable places to read. Am I some kind of mutant with a lucky metabolism? I just don’t get that whole concept.

AI probably stole your fibula to make crappy imitation fibulas!

LOL where can you find $4k/month? My dentist said her office rent in W. Seattle was $11k/mo.

American here, but this photo feels like a legit parody of American eating habits. If I were gonna make fun of us I would use this exact image LOL.

I would be among Native Americans in what is now the Seattle area. To them I would be a gibbering idiot who didn’t even know their language, and they would probably kill me.

Their options shalt be out of the money, and the numbering of their losses shalt be three. Four shalt they not be, neither shall they be two.

When you say these things and nothing changes, it’s just another Tuesday rant.

When you’re the pope and you say these things and nothing changes, you’re “the conscience of the world”.
