please don't tell my boss I've been posting memes on the clock

Jump

  • I just post while I’m waiting for a command to finish running.

    It’s not my fault the deploy takes 20 minutes.

    • YSK that apart from not having a car and voting, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat.

    Jump

  • The idea that we have to grow food for food is ridiculous. Cows turn grass into meat just fine, why do we need to grow corn and soybeans for them

    I bet it’s because, like with hogs, we’ve bred them to be so growth optimized they can’t get enough calories from grass anymore.

    • literature

    Jump

  • These aren’t too different from the novels we’d get at the Scholastic Book Fair. Captain Underpants definitely comes to mind.

    They gave my kids a stepping stone from short children’s books to chapter books so it’s not all bad.

    • It's all a Mandela effect

  • I think you’re having a Mengele Effect about the Mandela Effect.

    • Hardware Suggestions For A Beginner?

    Jump

  • I would recommend putting the pihole and any network management tools on dedicated hardware.

    It’s not fun having a random update for Transmission take down your entire internet. Ask me how I know.

    • What are your favorites? How do you like them?

    Jump

  • I guess it’s pretty American to add a bunch of sugar to something lol

    • Bluesky can really keep up with the news now that it has activity notifications

    Jump

  • But that ruins both the fun of discovery and the bliss of ignorance

    • What are your favorites? How do you like them?

    Jump

  • Round here we call cornichons “sweet gherkins” and they’re pretty good

    Also: At one point you put black olives on your fingertips for the last time and you didn’t know it.

    • Bluesky can really keep up with the news now that it has activity notifications

    Jump

  • I prefer to keep up with news by seeing a meme I don’t understand

    • As women have far fewer babies, the U.S. and the world face unprecedented challenges

    Jump

  • Fewer people in the world is the thing I want the most of all.

    • Americans overestimate the size of minority groups and underestimate the size of most majority groups

    Jump

  • Astronomers have been telling us for a long time that humans can’t fathom the scale of the universe.

    But somehow we can fathom numbers of the same orders of magnitude when we talk about earthly affairs.

    If people can’t understand how far away Mars is, how can they understand human population numbers?

    • Oatmeal

  • I didn’t rake my leaves and now have two, but my neighbors all mow their lawns and get rid of leaves

  • In 1991 we rioted because the cops beat a black man and it was filmed.

    30 years later we rioted again because cops still killed people with impunity.

    Riots aren't going to fix anything

  • Ross Perot 2.0

    • The Ugliness of the ‘Big, Beautiful’ Bill, in Charts - The New York Times

    Jump

  • What boot am I licking? Nobody should be in charge, because whoever they are would be a human, and humans are too stupid to take care of themselves.

    Jump

  • I've seen groups of all sizes break down so regularly that I disagree. This isn't a problem with our system of government, it's a problem whenever you have a group of people who are trying to make a decision. They have power trips and logical fallacies and do all kinds of idiotic things.

    Even if I agreed with you, it was We the People who allowed that to happen. We had to have fucked it up for the rich to even be able to do it.

    Half of Americans read below a 6th grade level. We are too stupid to govern ourselves.

    • Like its a drag race

    Jump

  • Of course, a nice short toot just to get their attention.

    Because unlike literally everyone I encounter outside my home, I am aware that other people exist.
