I’ve heard it joked that “everyone going into wrestling is either gay or about to become gay”. Because of all the body contact.

That said this is a rather poor comic. “Haha, different sexualities exist”… I guess we as a culture are in a transition phase. We have to get used to realizing there is a spectrum of sexual orientations without either giggling like teenagers or blowing up with rage.

People don’t think it be like that, but it do.

Or “don’t answer when the magic trees ask things”. I suppose we all learned our own little life lessons today. 💯

Lots of international manufacturers skip model numbers 4 and 9 because of Asian superstitions. Silly, yes, but they affect sales and even birth rates.

At least in Japanese, 4 sounds like “death” and 9 sounds like “suffering”.

Your ancestor tree also expands exponentially (almost doubling with every generation), so everyone alive around the year 1250 AD is either one of your ancestors or no-one-around-today’s ancestor (because their line died out).

We are all related about 30 mothers out.

The current generation of AMD processors and motherboards have this “feature” where the first time you boot up, nothing shows on screen for about a minute, sometimes two. Because it’s calibrating the memory or something stupid like that. With nothing on the fucking screen.

It’s obviously some hurried fix for a problem they encountered late in the development process of the AM5 generation, but Jesus Christ is it horribly implemented. The most tense moment when building a PC and they thought making it act as if it’s broken for two minutes is good UX.

I did skim a bunch of articles first, all with the same info, but they were too long-winded or paywalled to link to. This summary seemed just right…

From Google AI:

In 1990, the year the film was released, the actual house from Home Alone was purchased for $875,000. Economists from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago have determined that, at that price, the home was only affordable to the top 1% of Chicago households at the time.

To afford the house in 1990 (assuming they spent no more than 30% of their income on housing), the McCallister family would have needed a household income of about $305,000, which is approximately $665,000 in 2022 dollars.

The house last sold in 2012 for $1.58 million and again in early 2025 for $5.5 million.

Those eyes are amazing. 🎵

Frighten? Faze? Ftraumatize?

Unpopular opinion, but the judge was right. There would be zero benefit to society to reward this absolute cybersquatter. There’s an almost zero benefit to reward a corporation. Both bad, but the corporation should get it in this case.

This makes no sense. Salads really do have nuts sometimes, whilst I’ve never heard of bees having steak.

He meant “lost it” as in outran a pursuer? (I thought lost it as in “the thing is broken” at first).

I see… TIL, thanks.

You mean because Twitter is an SMS-based messaging app?.. The character limits are arbitrary, not a technical limitation. Which is why they doubled them at one point, I believe.

The limits were meant to act as a micro-blogging enforcement measure, for micro attention spans.

They taste just like raisins.

Can… can someone explain and spoil the joke for me please?

Trying to frame his slobbishness as “minimalism”. Prioritizing a games console and immature Naruto poster over bed sheets. Fleshlight just left out on the floor. Boasting about his apartment when there’s less than nothing there.

Forsooth!

The times do change…:
