I can't believe they've bean keeping this from us

  • Wait a sec, are you the government? You have to tell us if you are.

    • Well, the eclipse came and went, and the world didn't end. What did we do wrong?

    Jump

  • Check it out - we drill a huge hole through the moon, and put a giant magnifying glass in it. Then, next time there's an eclipse...

    • This is a Test

  • This is just like the dumb HR tests that are like "You see a coworker engage in inappropriate behavior. Should you A. Notify your supervisor, B. Punch them in the face, C. Piss on the floor.

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • I think the best solution to this is a way to migrate an account to another instance, which I've heard is in the works.

    • what was your favorite thing about your first car?

    Jump

  • It had a distinct smell that, when I smell it now, brings me vividly back to driving home from high school listening to Metallica.

    • What is the last video game that you were completely hooked on?

    Jump

  • Indeed. Also, dink dink dink bring bring bring bring bring

  • Most likely this was a Finding Nemo-esque escape plot by one of the fish.

    • What is the last video game that you were completely hooked on?

    Jump

  • I couldn't say why it got me so hooked. I like roguelikes/rogue-lites as well as deckbuilders, and I think it hits a really good balance of the things that make them fun - challenge, randomness, a variety of strategies that can make different runs feel very different. Also good achievements and unlockables.

    • What was your first experience using the Internet?

    Jump

  • CompuServe BBS, playing the British Legends MUD they charged $8 an hour for.

    • What is the last video game that you were completely hooked on?

    Jump

  • If by "were" you mean "are", then Balatro.

    • Amazon just walked out on its self-checkout technology

    Jump

  • I will miss the mistakes they made in my favor. Once I bought like $50 worth of groceries, and they just never charged me for it.

    Jump

  • While the Spike Jonze film Her (2013) explored a romance between a man and his virtual personal assistant, 10 years earlier, the movie Demolition Man looked at how technology could play a role in sexual relationships. In an iconic scene, a character played by Arnold Schwarzenegger has virtual sex with Sandra Bullock.

    Was this article written by AI? Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't in Demolition Man, and 1993 was not ten years before 2013.

    • Solving your problems with WAY too much firepower...

    Jump

  • Hard G, long E, ass.

    • Do you usually purchase digital or physical books? Why?

    Jump

  • E-books, because they're cheaper and I don't have enough bookshelf space. Plus I use the library for physical books.

    • Warm beer and cold coffee are the same temperature

    Jump

  • Yeah, I thought about that too, but I thought "coffee that's gone cold" would make the title too clunky.

    • How do you deal with internet trolls?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I've been there. Halfway through typing a reply I usually realize, the most likely outcome of this is more bad faith arguments and more frustration.

    I will sometimes just leave a purely factual reply or a link, and not respond further if they want to debate it or move the goalposts.

    • What's your favourite -dle? (Daily puzzle game?)
