film bros are really watching “twin peaks” when they could be watching “twinks pee”

moves everything in your house an inch to the left but also moves your house an inch to the right so it cancels out. lol

You are either going to the bathroom with me or going to the bathroom against me

I should draw rouge the bat. But in what circumstance

reblog if your gender is "It's not that simple"

Imagine The Fellowship all sitting around the campfire halfway up Caradhras retelling the events of the Hobbit to Boromir and Aragorn Rashomon-style with Gimli going "my dad tells it this way" and Legolas going "well, my dad tells it this way" and the Hobbits all going "but Bilbo tells it this way!" and, even though Gandalf was fucking there for half of it, he refuses to weigh in on anything because watching them argue is more fun and also he doesn't remember because it was over 75 years ago.

Even better: Gandalf remembers it perfectly fine but he keeps making shit up and agreeing to multiple different versions just to throw everyone off

Too good to hide in the tags!

can i ask what this was all about

i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.

there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.

anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.

if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.

just saw a fanfic on ao3 have a dedication for chatgpt... that section is meant for your horny perverted mutual who proofread your work, you violated sacred law and you will be torn apart and laid bare btw

anyways, if you feel the need to use ai to do your work for you, consider this: get a new hobby because this one isn't for you

Consider this. Not everyone has that time, or energy. Again, I just don’t understand this whole thing of “effort is important”

if it were, capitalism wouldn’t work.

not to point out the obvious but capitalism doesn’t work or people would have the time and energy to sit down and put effort and even enjoy their hobbies?

ai gets trained on real people’s effort and most of these companies are stealing content that was posted online, for you to just sit there enter a shitty prompt and bam, you get a picture of a big titty girl with 8 fingers or a story that is made up of cliches and patterns.

answer me this what do you get out of doing nothing to achieve a mediocre result from ai when the joy of creating comes from the act of figuring it out and doing it yourself, honing your skills?

“Not everyone has the time or energy to” ok that’s a you problem my favorite author posted a 30k word chapter after their house burned down and then got the bubonic plague. ur just not built for it

My wife, who doesn't even go here: if you're not writing it yourself, why are you there?

if you don't enjoy doing a hobby why would you click on a plagiarism robot in order to poorly fake having done the hobby. then when people look at the work you didn't do, you tell them you didn't do it. the people either say it's nice, praising the non-effort of the plagiarism robot, or they think you're dumb as bricks. or they hate the robot and they hate you for using it to set up this whole absurd situation in the first place, and you get your feelings hurt.

or, yknow, you could find a hobby that you actually enjoy doing.

I think the answer to "why would you fake doing a hobby" is that they want the attention they imagine they'll garner with none of the work of actually having to do something.

I wonder if these people also run chatbots to talk to their friends and then expect praise for what great conversationalists they are.

I really hate when people mystify intelligence as some innate or supernatural ability rather than the willingness to read books and consider different perspectives. Anyone with enough time, training, and preparation could become a professor. Stop seeing knowledge as arcane rather than as a skill anyone can develop.

I pause solemnly and look up from the religious text. “And what do we say upon seeing the footwear of Lil Wayne?” I ask.

“Those are his Hooves, you Bitch,” the people respond.

“And when do we wear them?”

“Upon escaping from the law,” comes the reply.

“And who has taught us this?”

“Sherlock Holmes,” the response choruses.

“And what are they for originally?” I say in the weary tone of someone who has had to do this a lot.”

The mixed murmur is a little shameful. I sigh. “And what are they for originally?”

“Pony kink,” the response emerges reluctantly.

“And what do we say?”

“Your kink is not my kink and that’s okay.”

“Let us regret.”

We all regret.

Because I am that person, and cannot hold myself back, I add perkily: “interestingly, this design is kind of the reverse of jockey racing boots, where the metal horseshoe is on the heel!”

Nobody is interested in this. I should have given up long ago on trying to “hear me out” or infodump on the topic of jockeys. But, you know what, I’m the one up here with the shawl, leading the sacred texts. Sometimes my interests will emerge. Oh well.

“Regrets be with you,” I say.

“And also with you,” everyone responds.

Reblogging for the history. Now, I need to find a version of it sung in French.

Ok I am once again liveblogging the Word of the Year vote

• For informal word of the year, multiple people have gone up to the mic announcing themself as “team rawdog”

• One respected professor threw his support behind “W”, saying (I’m paraphrasing) “double the u, double the pleasure”

• In lieu of an institution, one person announced themself as a “tumblr shitposter”. That person? Was me.

Unsurprisingly, “rawdogging” has won Informal Word of the Year 2024 by a truly MASSIVE landslide

“Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body” has just been last-minute nominated for political word of the year, challenging “Luigi”’s crowd-favorite status.

Someone just started playing smooth jazz on the speakers to pass the time as waited for the presenters to resolve their tech issues

“Luigi” wins political word of the year!!

• Somebody (me) just last-minute nominated “I’m bald” for Digital Word of the Year.

• A middle school teacher has gone up to the mic to INSIST that the correct order is “Skibidi Ohio Rizz”, not “Skibidi Rizz Ohio”

• The Digital Word of the Year commentariat appears to be almost entirely made up of middle school teachers

• A middle school teacher sitting next to me: “I’ve had to set a quota for how many ‘skibidi’s are allowed in my students’ creative writings”

“Brainrot” wins Digital Word of the Year!

• For the second day in a row, the presenter has insisted that “hurkle durkle” can be used as a synonym for “bedrotting”

• “Lock in” wins Most Useful Word of the Year

• WOTY mvp Nicole Holliday has brought up the concept of “Toilets with threatening auras”, arguing that “we live in a vibes-based economy”.

• Arguing in favor of “Unserious”, someone claimed that “there is nothing more cutting than being called unserious.” She then proceeded to call the rest of the contenders unserious, eliciting audible gasps from the audience.

• “Unserious” has defeated “NIL” in a runoff for Most Likely To Succeed Word of the Year

Ok we’ve moved on to “Most Fun While it Lasted”, a category that I accidentally caused to exist during nominations yesterday.

• Someone has gone up to defend “hawk tuah”, calling it the “most potent, most virile” word of all time. The havoc this comment has caused is indescribable.

• Ok seemingly everyone this round is speaking in support of “Hawk Tuah”

• “Brat” wins Most Fun While it Lasted!

• Someone has provided “We boutta rawdog an entire presidential administration” as an example sentence

• In a profoundly unsurprising development, basically half of the commenters this round spoke in favor of “rawdogging”

RAWDOGGING WINS WORD OF THE YEAR 2024!!
