all of my factory lines run on 98 and XP, which is perfectly fine, I can navigate them in my sleep

but management just hired a vibe coder to make a larger infrastructure for materials handling… that should work out great

oh my Eru, he’s making a Tom Bombadil feature film!

I don’t think it’s the spice, but rather the inedible slop from that kind of fast “food” chain that greasily slides through intestines and slips out the colon, like a bat out of hell.

well, that’s one memory I thought would stay locked away forever…

as in, “I wonder what happened to the oh-nee-ders”

for the lads

it’s a simple Freudian slip; you mean one thing but say a mother

damn, that could have been so good. a series of unusual mysteries and sci-fi stories, all subtly linked to the central macguffin laboratory, or whatever government conspiracy is “behind the whole thing”.

they already have a whole alternate dimension to play with, so it doesn’t need to be contained to a single midwest town. they could set seasons in any part of the world, and make it a huge web, with a hyper local focus with new casts.

the more I think about it, the worse it gets; they had a perfect setup and didn’t go for it.

a tomato is a fruit, but does it belong in a fruit salad?

a meme was originally used to describe repeated patterns in genetics, and is fundamentally another way to say “mimic,” so we could build an argument for a totally different way to moderate content here.

but the spirit of the community is to showcase the modern internet meme, so I think taking the narrow definition of “new jokes over repeated images” is more appropriate than a literal definition of the word itself.

but not if it’s a text-only screenshot, like a twitter/tumblr post. the point of the modern “meme” is to be variations on a visual-based theme.

otherwise, it’s just a joke or a comment

the bones are their money…

I always read ellipses as if the speaker is trailing off in a condescending, disappointed, or sarcastic tone.

“if you think so…”

“that’s a great idea…”

“we definitely need more snacks in the house…”

It doesn’t make me anxious, but it always seems a little rude.

definitely not loss…

…is this gain?

localized entirely to this instance?

so my socks can get wet? I don’t think so

the great exacerbater!

the rich just need some special hugs! specifically on their necks!

lots of people are lining up to choke on the SCROTUS these days

start composting, and turn that green waste into green money (or food)
