Does all the songs in your favorite music album are masterpieces?

Never did them wasn't.

C'mon now. Let the Star Wars fans have their day.

You can be born with a name, but not in the same sense that you're born with kidneys. It's okay to refer to the kid by whatever name makes everyone feel good.

Someone will be having a problem

Some people are bogon emitters. They radiate fundamental particles of cluelessness.

when I walk over it starts working

Some people are bogon absorbers.

Wind turbine syndrome. People living below wind turbines suffer from headaches, dizziness, nausea, and loss of sexual function... but only if they've been told that people living below wind turbines suffer from headaches, dizziness, nausea, and loss of sexual function.

Scientists taught rats to drive rat-sized vehicles in exchange for treats. When then offered treats without needing to drive, three quarters of the rats preferred to operate the vehicle to get the treats.

Many of the trained rats were observed taking an unusual pose while watching the scientists set up their vehicles. The scientists had only seen the same pose before in rats that were high on opiates.

I think the most obvious conclusion to draw is that rats enjoy learning and using new skills when there's a reward involved, and that often the skill itself is the reward.

I like a lot of electronic music. Flume is great. Aphex Twin and the Chemical brothers are good. I'm just not into Fatboy Slim.

I think that's a good song spoiled by Axel Rose's vocals.

"Praise You Like I Should" by Fatboy Slim. I don't like any of his music, but that's the one I have to turn off. A single sustained tone is not music, Slim. It's an equipment malfunction.

"My government does not represent me" sounds like the American leftist's version of "thoughts and prayers".

Sounds like a good way to get suicided. My feed as of writing this:

 

Especially if the sinners still need their punishment?

 

Either all at once, or over a lifetime?

 

My position is that it's a snack and husband tax must be paid. My wife is arguing that it's a meal or occupies some third food space and it's entirely hers. Who's right, court of Lemmy?

 

To explain what I mean, I think you can level up a cooking style. For example, pasta. At level 1, you're boiling dried pasta and adding sauce out of a jar. At level 1, you add your own spices. Level 3, switch to fresh pasta. Level 4, make your own sauce. And finally at level 5, make the pasta from scratch.

So with BBQ, I guess level 1 would be cooking the meat so it's neither burnt nor underdone. Maybe level 2 is mixing different meats/cuts that have different heat/time requirements and cooking well. Further levels = ?

 

Picture this: you're working in a large open-plan office and you need to send a message to Steve at the other end of the room. You pull out your messenger handgun, dictate your message (because you paid for the voice recognition feature) and let it engrave your words on a bullet. Then you simply fire it at the target mounted above Steve's cube!

Fast, attention-getting and simple. It's the perfect system.

I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂
