Maybe this thread will be the start of something! What I liked about this challenge was the starter beak and feet, made it a little easier for those of us who are artistically challenged

How is this not a meme template already?

Slugabed I’ve used before, usually to describe me!

To paraphrase a shower thoughts post from a few weeks back though (not mine), why is going to bed early seen as pious but staying in bed late seen as slothful when the net result is the same amount of time spent in bed?

Sounds awesome, I love his writing.

Side note: If it could not involve any helmets like the one pictured which some lights into the eyes of the occupant that would be great! One of my constant irritations when I’m watching sci fi.

Because there’s only thing worse than a new world order, and that’s not being at the top of the new world order

This is why I read genre fiction rather than literary fiction. Sure, you and your book club can look down on me but until you’re reading a book that isn’t a variation on a theme of “unsuccessful professional moves back to coastal small town to look after their mother who has dementia”, yous can all get to fuck.

Socialised private transport? Call it a car club and it’s private enterprise and therefore okay, like Zipcar here in the UK!

At this point why even have your own car? A pool of cars that can come and pick you up when you need it would be more efficient and allow the cost to be shared widely across a group

I’ve been here since the API changes at Reddit and the sub blackouts that followed, and I think it’s becoming more interesting all the time. Back in the early days there was no point in refreshing the /all feed more than once every 4 hours as it just wouldn’t have changed, now it’s much more than that. The number of posts with actual discussions are increasing, and other than a few blocked users, communities and one instance, I like the people I’m sharing space with.

I see a lot of duck duck go responses in this thread, my understanding was that ddg is just front ending bing search, it’s not a native search itself. Is that right? Is the same true of any of the other ones mentioned here?

I thought that. Famous people diagnosed with ADHD might be better wording.

“high speed dubbing” and other lost technologies

I forgot that clown existed

Trying to tape a song off the radio without getting too much of the DJ’s voice…

My dumb self went off to the comments section looking for a user called Big QWERTY

Find out if you’re going to be “raisin” some little’uns

Solving things that were never really problems whilst ignoring a heap of social injustice across the country? Yup, that sounds like the Tories.

Go on a plane, gender neutral toilets. On a train? Same thing. Most cafes like Pret or Nero have a single toilet that everyone uses without issue. What on earth are they solving here?

Off topic but It’s always interesting to me how people always used to wear hats, and now seldom do. What happened to discourage daily hat usage?
