Regular coffee machines are muzzle-loading guns, and K-cups are cartridge guns
With a normal espresso maker, you measure out the coffee grounds (gunpowder), pour them into the chamber, tamp them down, then pull the trigger/make the coffee.
With a K-cup, you just put in a capsule and fire away.
Humans are only walking digestive tracts
Humans are only walking digestive tracts. From an evolutionary perspective, all other organs originated from a primitive gut and have only one purpose: to serve it.
(credits to /u/[email protected] who phrased it so well in this post, even though i had the thought already years ago)
If datacerters are forced on communities, they should be forced to provide free heating/access to those communities.
I'd prefer we don't datacenter to the gills, but if we're destined to do it anyway, they should offer free Heat/data services to the communities they're thrust upon, and the agreement should be on the datacenter licensing so they can't reorg out of it.
Antivax is a way for people to rationalise their fear of needles
They are just not aware that they have this fear and can't therefore understand and work on it effectively. Some people just seem to be stuck in emotional toddlerhood.
About a decade and a half later I realized they are not singing "what does she really want, a british fantasy, me walking out the door" in Hey Ya by Outkast
Not for a second did I think it was "But does she really wanna, But can't stand to see me walk out the door?"
It must suck being a divorced time-traveller with kids
You can't go back in time and undo meeting your then-partner, because then your kids wouldn't exist
People who design gearboxes are also doing some reverse engineering
I guess the same applies to anyone working with electric motors too.
work context of society is like a bodybuilder, building muscles for nothing
i think our society is making us work in a similar way that a bodybuilder works out: it’s just about making [these muscles / that business] grow, even though they serve no purpose and could just as well just not exist, and things would be equally fine, but for whatever reason, we’ve made it a beauty ideal that these things are as big as possible, so we must max them! every! single! day!
Since the brain is made up of fat, lard is probably the closest possible thing to literal brain food
Sidenote, if that's what zombies eat then maybe we can just keep giving them lard to snack on
It just occurred to me why some trust potentially unethical moderation: They are authoritarians. Of course they believe that if someone is appointed over them, they are above reproach.
Despite continually running into them dog-piling me in shared spaces, where they defer to their mod/admin actions as gospel without critical thought, I am embarrassed that this only occurred to me today.
