Throwing weapons only, and they're all reskinned to turds. You never die, but you win if you get hit the least at the end of the timer.

Nah. At that point it only looks stupid.

This is literally the second item on my front page of subscribed communities. Did I just hit the dopamine jackpot? 😃

This. Oh no, the ice cream tub has a lock on it? Guess I'll make another opening *grabs a kitchen knife*

Same for this. Oh no, she won't consent? Then we're doing it raw!

^{(kids, this is a terrible excuse to fuck over your future. Don't be a fool, wrap your tool.)}

As far as I know, UK English also uses the spelling Battery.

They are, in fact, the very model of a modern major general!
They have information vegetable, animal and mineral!

On second thought, could be 1980s Cave Johnson, when Aperture was seriously in decline.

Initially I thought Cave Johnson, but the enumeration in the first paragraph seems more of a GLaDOS thing. The rest could go either way. If on the other hand, the enumeration was phrased without "the following regions:", it would be more Cave Johnson.

Reading that, and you just know there's a Linux distro that has fucking as an alias for sudo

You're still working, but if the boss has come to rely on you going above and beyond, it's basically not working anymore.

Doing exactly what your job description entails, to the letter, to specified standards, nothing less and nothing more. No going above and beyond. Way too many places demand 110, 150, maybe even 200 percent of what you can deliver. Working to rule means you deliver exactly 100 percent.

This has the same energy as the observation that the most reliable way to get an answer on the internet is to post the wrong answer.

ASCII was originally a 7-bit standard. If you type in ASCII on an 8-bit system, every leading bit is always 0.

(Edited to specify context)

At least ASCII is forward compatible with UTF-8

Do we have a /rimjob_steve community somewhere already?

Would I consider that on par with how the Tarantula Hawk Wasp reproduces?

For those not in the know: ::: spoiler Consider yourself warned. Tarantula Hawk Wasp mothers find themselves a tarantula - yep, a Hugh Jazz spider - and inject venom into the spider, instantly paralysing it. They then drag the paralysed but fully conscious spider to an underground hole, where they lay an egg on the spider. Her mission complete, momma flies off to do fuck knows what, leaving the paralysed spider behind with a ticking time bomb her egg.

A few days later, that egg hatches, and the larva, seeing a perfectly tasty meal nearby, digs into the spider, eating it from the inside out, purposely avoiding vital organs to keep them alive as long as possible - while, again, the spider is fully aware what's going on and completely powerless to do anything.

Yes, they're native to Australia. Why'd you ask?

They're also native to a few other places, Europe one of the few places they're not native. Scratch this potentially, turns out my source doesn't state this. :::

That sounds like the Florida Man headline I'd like to see xD

Still working on wrapping my mind around that.

That said, I have wrapped my mind around 10-day weeks, which in work division work as follows:
⚒️⚒️🛋️⚒️⚒️🛋️⚒️⚒️🛋️🛋️
Do this 12 times in a year, add a leap day every three months, say to start each season, plus another extra day for new year's, and another extra according to existing leap year rules.

Related: 12-hour AM/PM time, at least in written language, is dumb compared to 24-hour time. I don't want to have to infer from context if 8 is morning or evening. Build that disambiguation into the written time, ffs!
