There used to be an entire subreddit that basically did this. There were hundreds of fake users each posting and commenting. No real users were allowed to post or comment. I loved it because they would sort of mirror what was currently on the front page but in much more ridiculous way.

Edit: It was called subreddit simulator. And the creator said it used Markov chains. So no need to use bad prompted LLMs. Just do it the “old fashioned” chatbot way.

Maybe the people on your Facebook are also AI/bots. It’s just one big circle of bots posted altered photos and responding to them.

Oh shit. I forgot to take my pill. Thanks for reminding me.

My dad saw a picture of that scene and immediately said “He could cut that pipe he’s chained to.” “But what if the blade is dull?” I said. “That pipe is cast iron. All he’d have to do is score it really good and then crack it with handle of the saw, or kick it lose.”

Dad knowledge. It must be something we get when we become a dad.

  1. Dammit why are there no salty snacks in this house. I need something with salt but I won’t leave the house.

Yes. It had a weird aspect ratio to begin with. It was 8:7 and then the CRT would stretch it just a tiny bit more to fit 4:3. I’d still rather have 4:3 than 16:9 or 8:7 just because that’s what I’m used to seeing.

Everything is political. We need to burn the system.

Can confirm. Was recommended a company provided resource due to my struggle with anxiety, depression, etc at work. Was fired not long after.

Just as I started to get my shit together too. That was a kick in the balls.

That’s why you gotta use the slow ramp. They love the slow ramp.

I understood this, can I call myself a programmer now

Precisely this. I am an electrical engineer. I was told in school not to stress about the FE exam unless I was a civil engineer. Or I was planning on designing high power equipment.

I think I can answer this. I remember when the singles came out. Used to be they had American cheese in a block. Sort of. They were sliced and stacked. This was the same American cheese/cheese product used in the singles. Exact same dimensions. The package was not re-sealable though. So I always put my block in a quart zip lock after opening. People were too fucking dumb to do this so their block of American cheese would go stale. And they complained about slices getting stuck together. Why in the world did Kraft decide to make the singles instead of changing the packaging be resealable and have wax paper like every other cheese? I have no idea.

This is fucking hilarious. Especially the suit of armor. It feels like such a lazy fix

I put off a boring task at work for weeks in favor of a more interesting work project. I kept telling myself over and over that I should switch over and start the other project before it gets late. But every time I tried, I just couldn’t work on it. I literally couldn’t. It was so difficult I was almost falling asleep just staring at the code. I’d switch back.

I finally finished it today. The day before it was due. Came in this morning, brain kicked into overdrive and I just finished it all. I don’t remember eating lunch. What should have been done in two weeks, was done in a little over two days. Why do I do this myself. I can’t help it.

(The code looked really good though.)

I always do that if I’m on the phone and the stupid bot is being unhelpful. And especially if my call might be monitored. “No you stupid fucking bot that didn’t work. I want to talk to a human” “Fuck you. Get me a person to talk to”. etc. It’s the fastest way

I remember my brother and I having to set it to 1x speed and leave the room and pray the software didn’t hang. No one was allowed to use the computer for anything while it was burning a disc. Lol. So much anticipation!

SR-71 speed check

One time we were going fast

a small plane got on the radio and said “how fast am i going”

the tower said “you are going fast”

and then a bigger plane got on the radio and said “haha i think i am going faster how fast am i going”

and the tower said “you are going a little faster”

and then a jet fighter was going really fast and talked like a really cool guy and said “hey there, I sound like a cool guy, tell me how fast I’m going”

and the tower said “you are going very fast” but he sounded totally normal

And then I wanted to say something but that was against the rules, and then the other guy in my plane said “hey tower, are we going fast”

and the tower said “yes you are going like a million fast” and then the guy in my plane said “I think it’s a million and one fast” and then the tower said “lol yeah ur plane is good”

and then I said “did we just become best friends”

and the other guy said “yes”

I've found a lot of dark memes on Lemmy. Feels like how dankmemes used to be.

Fantastic! When I joined the week before the reddit blackout I believe there was something like 2,000 users. Such huge growth in a short amount of time! Consider donating a few bucks monthly to help with server costs. I'm doing my part!
