I’ve never seen this variation and I like it a lot.

Have him wish for a change in the duration of a second, and watch as the metric system falls apart.

Inaccurate format, mischaracterizes Cosmo and Wanda.
Show threadSSUPIIMay 27, 2024
Maybe, but I deciped OP as the chad and you as the soy in my mind so your argument is invalid
Show threadFireTowerMay 27, 2024
It’s a pretty on point parody of their characters. Wanda being the responsible voice of reason. Cosmo being the fun one.
Show threadAnIndefiniteArticleMay 28, 2024
Specifically that characterization is what I see as inaccurate. Wanda was wacky and irresponsible, too. Cosmo was just more of a ditz about it.

@fossilesque id just swap the vim commands :x and :q! and watch the world burn
Show threadfossilesqueMay 27, 2024
:q! Is the only vim command I know pls don’t do this to me. :,)

I think there’s a punk rock song called she bangs or something like that…
Show threadbusinessfishMay 27, 2024
fun unsolicited vim fact: just :x works as save and quit
Show threadunalivejoyMay 27, 2024
Not to be confused with :X, which is to encrypt the file.
Show threadDerpgonMay 27, 2024
I see, “X” as in “encrypt”, got it. Easy to remember, and not confusing at all. I love Vím!
Show threadmexicancartelMay 28, 2024
Its for XEncrypt so it posts to twitter after encrypting

unrelated but did you just dump 15+ memes at once or is it wonky federation issues
Show threadfossilesqueMay 27, 2024
It’s federation. I get dumps of reports from different servers hours after I remove them. I tend to post them over a span of an hour or so. Remember we are tiny, trying to weave us a bit more.
Show threadkaupas24May 27, 2024
@fossilesque looks like federation is broken, so I can't directly reply to your comment, but :x is save and quit, :q! is quit without saving.
Show threadfossilesqueMay 27, 2024
I :q! then nano lmao

ZZ rules!

I wish everyone was addicted to crack
Show threadunalivejoyMay 27, 2024
That counts as mind control, which is against da rulez
Show threadHonytawkMay 28, 2024

I wish crack was legal and was contained in every type of potato and rice

You just need to work around da rules

Show threadZozanoMay 28, 2024

Technically not. There are habits, which are mental, and then there are chemical addictions.

Regardless, you could simply wish for crack to magically appear in everyone’s blood stream in a constant pace for the next week, then turn it off suddenly, and watch everyone (except the crackheads with a stash) go through hell together.

Wanda just knows that Timmy is a complete idiot and would find a way to threaten the survival of humanity with any wish.

Then watch all protons suddenly burp out a couple of leptons and a photon, instantly decay into some other lower mass thingy.
Show threadAffine ConnectionMay 28, 2024
As long as protons are the lowest mass baryon, there is nothing for them to decay to (barring violation of baryon number conservation).
Show threadniktemadurMay 28, 2024
But surely with a higher mass, they’ll be - to quote C3PO here - not entirely stable, with a new lower mass and that particle having another name.
Show threadBowtiesAreCoolMay 28, 2024
And then Cosmos wand goes limp and farts, because that’s against Da Rules

at risks

We need better AI to write this stuff.

Show threadskyeMay 28, 2024
so now someone that’s (probably) not a native English speaker making a writing mistake is AI to you?
Show threadAuxMay 28, 2024
Non native speakers usually write better than native speakers.
Show threadGot_BentMay 28, 2024

As a long time teacher of ESL back in the day, I’d say that depends heavily on the native language.

European languages generally do well

Asian languages generally struggle

Middle Eastern languages, well, things don’t translate well on paper

Conversely, I found the middle Eastern students to have excellent speaking abilities.

The difference in how the mind processes speaking vs writing was truly fascinating to me.

Show threadAurenkinMay 28, 2024
I don’t feel very positive about this idea.
