I hope that Gremlins 3 is to Gremlins 2 what Gremlins 2 was to Gremlins 1.

Somebody call Randall Munroe.

Last Light, Dying Light, Dead by Daylight. Never played any of them.

I also confuse Amnesia, Penumbra and SOMA.

This view was one of the coolest things I ever saw through my first decent telescope. It instantly transported me back into time to the first moment a human saw the moons and everything clicked. If you’ve never seen this for yourself, I highly recommend visiting a local star party sometime. Most backyard astronomers are thrilled to show someone this for the first time. It should be on everyone’s bucket list!

Now I want a “what if?” on this. I would love to see all the g-forces and wind resistance and other details of how to survive with a big ramp.

A hot dog from a Japanese 7/11 for reference.

If you get the torrent from a site using HTTPS and get the data only from encrypted peers is it even possible to tell what people are downloading?

I think it’s neat that in a lot of these “penis stuck in thing” cases where bloodflow makes removal difficult a doctor can usually just show the patient the massive needle they will have to insert to remove excess blood and the sight alone usually “solves” the problem.

not insignificant portion of the population begins watching Fox News religiously

Flashbacks to reading the Guinness Book of World Records in elementary school.

The MIT page containing the report has disappeared and it isn’t archived on wayback. Anyone know where we can read it?

Ferret. Goofy, playful, affectionate, and adorable. (Okay, also a bit smelly)

Poor VR support. I’d probably switch if it ever becomes stable.

The morphing does look similar. It had short looping animations that start childish and cartoony, then would slowly progress and become more scary and adult themed, representing the journey from birth to adulthood.

This style of looping animation reminds me strongly of a short video I saw many years ago. It’s set to a song and features similar animated looping and morphing characters representing different stages of life, growing up, falling in love, etc. Black, white, yellows and reds. I can’t seem to find it now but I believe it had a creator with a german-sounding name. I may be hallucinating the memory, but I think the animation was titled “Love and Loss”, though I don’t see it anywhere online. Anyone know the one?

I think kaomoji have been a thing in Japan even before unicode was invented. The Japanese encodings and IME (input method esitors) allowed them to type a wide variety of characters, punctuation and symbols that aren’t available in most western encodings, so I feel like the Japanese folks had a head start on creative use of typography.

For example, if you want an eyeball you can just type “do” (degrees), and the IME will pull up °, and “omega” gives you ω, so it’s pretty easy to make (°ω°).

And a couple ball sacks.

I don’t know what technically constitutes the most troublesome username, but surely some of the kaomoji Japanese folks have come up with are up there. Good luck trying to type these.

I think the first person to use an obfuscated name like lIiḷ|ḷiIl was pretty clever.
