  • TIL Megan Thee Stallion is eye level with me

    That’s actually shorter than I expected, IDK why I always expect celebs to be taller than they are in person.

    Also the version I saw her give was that she decided on it after some grampa on a stoop type guy started jokingly cat calling her and saying she was “hot” like a stallion, I think it was meant more to be a joke about her being a big personality.

    I’d have to ask my teacher but given that it’s a smoke shop I think the guy is asking if the seller has any Jumbo Cigars?

    The fact that its a ج and not a غ makes me doubt it’s supposed to be a G approximate.

    Edit: needed to borrow some extra pixels from the neighbor to spot that the customer is a cat, stand by Jumbo instead of Gumbo though.





  • I’ve been saying for a while now that the singularity isn’t going to be based in an AGI, ot will be minimizing quantum computing not just to a commercial scale, but to an implantable scale, and creating a neural “third hemisphere” implant which allows the user to basically have all the capabilities that human thought excels at over machines calculation, as well as all the capabilities of the reverse.

    If we hit that point before inequality is addressed, it will lead to the classes literally becoming different species from each other, an overlord owning class that has financial access to such expanded mental capacity, and the peasant working classes that are financially shut out of the expanded career potential the implants would provide.

    Not to mention the terroristic horror that could come from the implant not being solidly air gapped from the internet. Might be cool to perfectly calculate an optimal frisby toss, but it’ll be less cool if someone changed the trajectory you’re aiming along to turn the thing into a murder weapon by hitting a rando at just the right angle.

    Yeah calling programs that don’t actually demonstrate intelligence AI is probably one of the most public confusing things the tech bros have done.

    It’s not Skynet or HAL or AM, it’s a very very fancy copy paste protocol, and the owning class is using it to crush independent markets.

    Not even the wackiest scenario he’s done.

    Bro legit took this one incredibly seriously and talked about the consequences of having to explain sudden freak accident deaths to pre-schoolers and how conspiracy theories would proliferate about Reagan being responsible because supposedly he had pushed for the launch to stay on schedule even when issues came up because the plan was for him to make s phone call to the crew of the ship from the SotU address that year.

    Basically Reagan would go down in pop culture canon as being the man who murdered big bird, and whatever consequences that sprung from that would be the biggest shift vs present timeline instead of the obvious fact that big bird would be canonically dead since all the normal viewers would have seen him go up in a fireball and die.



  • Tbf a decent amount of “american food” is prepared by intuition rather than by formula

    If you’re checking measurements for a burger, it’s for the individual stacked items you’re putting together on the burger and not usually for how much ground meat you need to get off a chuck steak for the burger you want.

    I only write down measurements in my own recipes because I’m chronically paranoid I’ll fuck everything up since so much of my stuff is already mishmash of previous recipes (just finished putting together a non dairy Knaffeh recipe so my SO can have it in spite of their allergies, had to figure out how to mimic Arrakawi cheese using fake mozz lol XD)
