又

my little cousin confidently declared that mother nature had a counterpart named daddy electric and i feel like this concept needs to be explored

Fantastic idea

Article about it here. 

what’s important to note and missing from the “headline” tweet is that they simultaneously constructed additional good public transit to the public transit already in the city (bus rapid transit, train stations). Just removing highway alone isn’t going to make traffic better, the bigger part of the story is that they improved public transportation. And the current mayor wants to do more - cyclist lanes and reinstate a tram system

Did not expect this kind of evolution

GUYS I JUST SAW THIS ON TWITTER AND I AM DYING

I’m absolutely not against robits in the home, I think the possibilities are really cool but like… Alright actually, here’s a side by side comparison: 

Alexa can play Skyrim tho

Damn you’re right.

I’m on mobile can somebody add that as a point for Roomba.

here you go

Roomba creates maps of the inside of your house

You’re like the 400th person to add this so:

This is the outline of my bedroom, with approximate furniture. Information I might not want handed out to the government or corporations or whatever. Not even including dubious terrain like rugs and clutter:

Here’s what a roomba, at floor level, with clutter and obstructions and stuff-under-stuff might be able to ‘map’ as navigable area:

This is completely useless to anybody except people developing robot vaccuums who might want diagnostic data. This isn’t even close to the level of Alexa’s microphone bollocks. Hit Alexa with a hammer, Roomba is… Safe, for now.

I saw the red and blue and my first response was “Roomba is using this sensitive information for GERRYMANDERING purposes”

SWAT team, bursting into your room, having been briefed with detailed Roomba-collected maps: *avoids difficult rug*

i know we're all probably past realizing this but can you believe that science has come to a point where we're coming up with all of these way better and way less harmful alternatives to things like plastic just for them to never be implemented on a large scale and instead be used in small and impractical situations that provide net zero benefit just because the companies that do produce plastic don't want to let go of their stranglehold on the markets.

this is what we mean when we say "capitalism prevents innovation" in all of its ability to apply to the real world and not in some weird theoretical context. at the end of the day, capitalists want to turn a profit. and they can't do that unless they buy out all the competition. going back to our plastic example, pretty much every executive in the plastic industry can agree that any widespread alternate to their product is gonna hurt their profits, so they can either choose to completely reform their companies and produce the alternative, or they can take the easy route and just spawn kill any plastic alternative kickstarter. this is what lenin meant by monopolies; it's not just one company, but a number of companies that can all agree that anything outside of their jurisdiction is Bad and needs to be neutralized. it's how entire industries can thrive despite the general population knowing that what they're doing is bad.

HELLO?????

you will NEVER be prepared for this

Me watching - Can’t be that bad.

Me after watching -

why don't people in zombie apocalypse stories ever just wear suits of armor? you think any zombie is gonna get their shitty rotting jaws through this?

I'm gonna rip and tear my way through the zombie apocalypse completely unharmed because none of the undead hoards will be able to get through my plate mail

everyone else is like "oh we gotta stay inside the most secure places possible and never leave" and I'll be storming through the wastelands in my bloodstained suit of armor, blasting the Doom (2016) OST and plowing my way through waves of the undead. one of them tries to bite me but his shitty rotting teeth don't even leave a dent in my armor before I turn his head into paste. I'll be unstoppable until I die of dehydration or something like an idiot

this goes along with my other pet peeve about zombie apocalypse stories, namely: why does no one ever think to ride a bike? 

bikes are quiet- if the zombies react to loud noises, they won’t hear you on a bike the way they might hear you in a car. bikes don’t need gas, meaning you won’t be stranded if you run out. bikes are much, much easier to maintain than a car- there’s no computer that can short out, no fiddly engine bits that could kill you if you mess with them wrong. you can learn how to maintain a bike with a couple weeks’ worth of classes. almost every adult knows how to ride a bike, and without cars on the road, it’d be much safer to do. 

what i’m saying is

world heritage post

The bike thing is a very good point, and probably the best transportantion option, especially since if you come across an area your bike cant traverse it's not impossible to just carry the bike throught it instwad of having to find another way (since apocalypse will create some unexpectes obstacles on roads and trails). Though for large scale transportation, the best option is a blimp tbh. It's also quiet, floating makes it totally safe, and if the engines fail, you just drift in the air for awhile until you fix them and move along. You could fly a blimp low over an infested area and have a sniper team pick zombies off from the air as you go by, to help thin the horde.

As for the plate mail, theres a few problems with that. First is that very few people can get their hands on a full suit of armour in this day and age, and fewer still would know how to put it all on. But ignoring that... it's a giant suit of metal. It's going to be heavy, and it's going to be loud. Walking around will draw the zombies to you with every clanking step, and you're not garunteed the speed or stamina to escape them. If you get caught and pulled down, you're probably fucked. Zombies cant bite through plate metal, but eventually they'll get a piece off, and then promptly get you. Good luck trying to stand up in full armour with a horse of zombies forcibly holding you down

Hanging out with old people rules because after a while they trust you enough to confess to murder totally unprompted

Wait what.

Sometimes old ladies had to kick the ladder out from under their stepfathers when they were girls and that’s valid

oh, my little old lady murder story was her replacing the medication in her abusive husband's capsules with rat poison.

"back in the day, our grandmothers worked on their marriages and didn't get divorced!" nah, friend, they COULDN'T get a divorce so sometimes they killed their fuckin husbands. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My grandma murdered her first husband the first time he beat their daughter.

I went caroling at a nursing home once and the conversation went from “your voices are lovely” to “I shot people during the war” rather quickly. 

hmmm

okay but can someone explain to me why someone would need that many control panel windows open in windows xp

That comment made me feel so fuckin old

Young ass bitch

Restaurants and bars really love to test your sobriety by making the route to their bathrooms as labyrinthine as possible

Me: I'm not that drunk

Me trying to figure out where the Fuck they've hidden the restrooms in this bar: So this is how Odysseus felt huh

Everyone tagging this post with their local bars/restaurants that have ridiculous bathroom layouts.....I see u. I am u. We are all Odysseus, and our Ithaca is a toilet covered in stickers.

ok I just HAVE to include this picture from inside the bathroom door of this one bar I went to

only one of these knobs work and it's not the one that's a different color from the rest

I’d imagine it’s the knob next the fucking latch of the door
