  • oh so now we’re right back around at time zones again, wonderful.

    except now it’s even more fun because there is zero standardization at all, but users are still going to expect for their computing devices to tell them a time that makes sense. Ah, but culture X thinks the day starts “6 hours before sunrise” and culture Y is more “the day starts when the sun is halfway between sunset and sunrise” and culture Z thinks something even more insane. Oops, now we’ve got locale-based time zones. Locale awareness is honestly even worse than time zones because its just so damn unexpected at times. My own computer has a horrifying mix of US and Europe locale settings, and that is already crazy enough.

    stupid people will always think everything is just so simple.

    I can fall asleep physically while remaining awake mentally with relative ease, I’ve never had the entry paralysis ever associated with the typical exit paralysis sleep demons.

    The worst that happens is my brain is just incredibly disoriented when I open my eyes after it thinks Im asleep. The paralysis is pretty fun actually, sometimes it can be a real challenge to break.












  • You. Cannot. Be. Forced. To. Unlock. A. Phone. With. A. Password.

    (In the United States)

    If you are caught with your phone in a bad situation, fight to manage to get it to shut down. Android will be stuck in a locked out state where biometrics are disabled. Im sure iphones can do something like that but rethink bringing your stupid iphone to a protest. Ask for a lawyer. Do not talk, do not answer questions, do not say anything else.





  • Man shut the fuck up, shut up.

    A can of mountain dew is:

    • In America: 355 mL with 170 calories (0.49 kcal/mL)
    • In Germany: 330 mL with 95.7 calories (0.29 kcal/mL)

    Feast your eyes upon this and perhaps begin to question the dumb bullshit perspective that lives in your head.

    Yes Americans, you do deserve to be able to enjoy a soda without fucking your calorie intake up. Did I mention the german one uses real sugar and tastes way better, which makes it harder to drink in excess?

    Did nobody have math class? The pictures are always misleading!

    It never actually specifies the density the people are packed onto the track, the image implies an answer.

    I’d argue that the densities should be considered to be equal, regardless of whatever that density value may be. We do not need to solve for the exact value to discuss the problem at hand!
