Lol that's pretty good. Every clip I've ever seen of the Eric Andre Show looks like an absolute fever dream

Why pit two bad bitches against each other, they're both icons

The LLMs are coming for our shitposts!

I like exploring old buildings like churches and hotels. I feel like architecture has been optimized so much to fire codes that most modern buildings have pretty boring layouts. But older buildings are completely batshit in their designs sometimes. Like woah there's a second little staircase down here that goes to a single room not accessible by anywhere else, or just random little hallways to nowhere. Also secret little closets everywhere, it's way more fun.

For everyone saying "A 50% increase in unemployment would only take us from 3.8% to 5.7%, that's not bad" keep in mind that 37,000 people die for every 1% increase in unemployment. This man is essentially wishing for the deaths of 70,000 americans.

Edit: just realized he's probably talking about Australia from his accent. Not sure about the numbers for Australia on unemployment deaths, but I imagine the point should still stand.

My favorite is when he got caught masturbating in public and responded with "If only it were as easy to banish hunger by rubbing the belly." Or when Plato was teaching a class and defined a man as a featherless biped, and Diogenes brought a plucked chicken to the class and said "Behold, Plato's man!"

For anyone unaware, this joke references a conflation of the Spock we all know and love with Dr. Benjamin Spock, who wrote some of the most prominent books on child rearing.

Just for the sake of information, the two common ways to put this in English are "How it feels" and "What it feels like". The former phrase is just descriptive, so it doesn't need the "like" at the end. The latter phrase is comparative to another thing, so it needs the like. Also this is something that native speakers mix up all the time, so don't worry too much; your English is great!

Actually vampire bats often urinate while they're feeding as well, turns out if your diet is liquid based, it helps to expel liquid while you eat!

"Protection from a shadow curse, what else could a dingus want?" I sat there for a second thinking Did that little fairy bitch just call me a dingus?

This was my thought too except i thought bluejay. Bluejays are super pretty, but people who live around them know that they're giant assholes lol.

Economic instability has been found to increase overall mortality, infant deaths, fatalities from cardiovascular disease, cirrhosis, suicide, and homicide as well as morbidities, alcoholism and admissions to mental hospitals. M Harvey Brenner has publications studying the phenomenon going all the way back to the 50s if you're interested in the scientific literature.

From what I understand, it's more like a Garry's Mod type game. Just a sandbox that let's you build fun and/or dumb stuff to do with your friends. I've never played but I understood the appeal after it was explained to me that way.

This reminds me of A Softer World , which was a webcomic series I absolutely loved for years. It was mostly short, sometimes comedic, sometimes poignant phrases paired with photography and this sounds exactly like something that would be on there.

Nuclear power is extremely green when compared to fossil fuel and can act as an excellent stopgap while ramping up renewable energy sources. You're right that it isn't a long term solution, but even replacing a few coal fired plants with nuclear ones for the next 30 years would be better than running the coal plants for 20 years until you can displace them with renewables.

No, the number comes from a macroeconomics text book written by Gregory Mankiw and its based on research by Harvey Brennan studying the correlation since the 1950s.

I switched from vim to emacs a couple weeks ago specifically for org mode and it has legit changed the way I work.

Technically not 100%, a modern study has shown that there are 8 billion people who breathe oxygen currently living!

Nature really showed me their downstairs mixup.

This is just misinformation, Linda Yaccarino confirmed that Twitter is down from 140 million daily users at the end of 2022 to 121 million daily users now.
