So I'm sure just about everyone knows "The Cool S". It's ubiquitous in school culture and if you haven't drawn it, you probably know someone who has.

The thing is, no one knows where it came from. Everyone has a cool cousin or older sibling that "invented" it, or claim it's from some group or company, but it always turns up to be false. In fact, the oldest known example is in a book cataloging street art published in 1973. From there it's been found on basically every notebook and lunch table the world over and represents a big niche in childlore.

So here's where I go off the deep end... What if this is actually The Yellow Sign?

The yellow sign is never expressly described in the story, with the weird wiggly one being an artist rendition. However, in The King in Yellow, a character draws it freehand to show someone. Which implies it's easy to freehand which the current one isn't. Furthermore, think of the purpose. The yellow sign is intends to spread Hasturs influence secretly. The current one, while undoubtedly cool, is also strange and stands out. If you're wearing it on your person, it stands out. The S doesn't. I'm writing this on break and there's 3 in this room alone. No one cares.

Now take a moment to consider the vector. The best time to indoctrinate someone is young. Why fight to catch the random mad reader when you can net up whole classrooms in a single day and whole schools in a week? No one takes it seriously because it's a children's doodle. A thing we draw absent-minded as we remember our youth.

For all we know, we're all infected and didn't even know.

Like, could you make a smaller version of a 1911 that fires 22lr instead of .45 by just scaling all the parts to the 22lr?

I have some old digital photos that I'd like to bring into modern resolutions, I know ai won't really be the same as doing it by hand but I doubt my grandma will notice. Is there a reliable site or way to use stable diffusion for this?

Hey has anyone considered making a wine from peppers like jalapeno and sweet pepper?

You'd probably need to add extra sugar, but I bet it could be an interesting flavor.

You can see a cluster of them to the bottom left and individuals spread around. We have them on raised beds near a maple tree in the yard because we were worried about the Kansas heat drying them faster then we could water. They get watered daily, they're not injured or weird looking, but they just aren't growing at all. What do we do?

Not pictured here is a Rosemary patch that's doing exactly the same, tiny little two leaf sprouts that refuse to grow further or die off.

Hey gang, I'm trying to find a mod or resource pack that well make the overworld and nether generate the same islands in the void that the end does.

I've seen sky-lands but I can't get it to work, it says it's too old for 1.21 and too new for 1.20.6. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can do this?
