tbh if someone just handed me a pressure washer and set me loose in the streets i would go into a trance and just start hosing shit down indiscriminately. it's not a question of how much i could clean, but how long until i get hit by a car and die

Our boomer trait is gonna be that we cannot recognise deep fakes or AI, I'm calling it. We're going to be like "wow did you see this???" And our grandkids are going to look at the 12 second hologram we show them, shrug and be like: "blinks are too regular."
I'm going to be chewing out some kid for being rude to a customer service employee on a call and they'll be like: "they weren't breathing"
"why are you always wearing that ugly coca-cola sweatshirt, you have so many nice clothes" - "Nestlé sold our teachers' code to CocAmaColaZom and now we can shadow-prompt their AI into giving us better grades"
"...but your maths teacher seemed so weird and incompetent, I was sure she was human :("
if i had a nickel for every time rebecca sugar’s ratatouille porn became relevant, i’d have like 5 nickels at this point
Sometimes corporate speak is good. For example, Space X calling their rocket explosion a “rapid unscheduled disassembly” is the funniest thing I’ve heard all week
while it is a very funny term it’s actually perfectly common rocketry terminology, it’s the technical term for “rocket sploded”
another fun rocketry term is “lithobraking”. Like, one way spaceships lower their orbits is by skimming along the top of the atmosphere, letting the friction slow them down. This is called “Aerobraking”, because they’re using the atmosphere as a brake.
Lithobraking, therefore, is coined by analogy, with “litho-” being the greek root for “stone”. It’s how you slow your spaceship down… by crashing it into the fucking ground.
So a crashed rocket “executed a lithobraking maneuver”.
There’s also “Engine rich exhaust”, which is what happens when your rocket engine starts breaking apart and bits of machinery are burning along with the fuel that’s supposed to be burning.
A more technical term is “Negative periapsis”. Orbits have a periapsis and an apoapsis, the lowest and highest altitude they reach each orbit. A negative periapsis, therefore, is a negative altitude. Your rocket hit the ground.
And related is the term “ablative X”. Ablative heat shielding is a type of heat dissipation where you have a layer of some material covering your spaceship, which heats up into a gas and blows away. So you lose bits of it as you go through the atmosphere. The joke version is when you refer to things as “ablative” when they’re not intended to be: ablative sensors, ablative wings, ablative space probe. that is, your spaceship lost parts it wasn’t supposed to lose while flying through the atmosphere.

like 10 years ago I went to my dad’s office for the day and made this list of swears I knew (I was 7)
fast forward to now and apparently he kept it and now it’s hanging on his wall for him to always remember
I got so stoned last night i visualized myself enjoying a huge bowl of mac and cheese so vividly that i forgot to eat dinner bc i thought i already ate
it was exactly like this
oh, burger tulpa?
here it is
i call my parents and say ‘yeah i can’t do family stuff tonight, i got too much stuff to do for school’ and i e-mail my professor and say ‘i can’t do my assignments tonight, work got crazy’ and i text my boss and say ‘sorry i can’t work late tonight, i gotta some family stuff’ and through this triangulation of deceitful excuses i at last will be free
