HOW YOUR TECH IS LYING TO YOU: the volume control is logarithmic so it feels perceptually linear
real weird way to start a video with this
i saw this thumbnail and i thought "bro is not gonna make a whole video essay about how logarithms exist right" but that's what he did (well, at least a minute of it. i am not watching the rest)
did the algorithm wake up today and decide that it was going to serve me its strongest potions
is this a threat
it's really funny that our work VPN alternates termination between the UK, Ireland, Romania and Kenya, which fucks the ad bidding algorithm up severely
not entirely sure why the ad algorithm is this convinced that I am in the UK and dying
oh no this is kind of actually a thing I would want to buy
what the Fuck are you trying to tell me, advertising algorithm
ONE job
a bit meta, innit
I suppose it is true that the target audience for people who might want to install an ad blocker is the people who are currently seeing ads
buy eggs on ebay
if you want to buy very large eggs, maybe you could try amazon instead
"micro-weddings"
buddy. bro. like. people of marriageable age just don't have money or if they have money, don't feel like they can spend large amounts of it rather than putting it aside to save for potential future catastrophes or old age
his hold up WHAT
hey kid, psst,
we're getting closer! but I care mostly about speech production!
amd...
it's pretty easy actually look for one of these
old: blockchain spam
bold: actual chain spam
shit! fuck! the ad algorithm has figured me out! fuck!
me when I have to kill this guy because he didn't say Schuko is best
you really want to avoid going into this type thing unprepared and potentially making an ass of yourself

this isn't really *that* funny, it's just haha ebay selling me optocouplers for some reason

but I always thought DIP packages looked like cute lil guys and this one especially so

his name is Big Dipper and I love him #blender #b3d
pairs well with some exciting music, like https://soundcloud.com/javiniceday/two-feet-and-a-heartbeat
Two Feet and a Heartbeat

Your servers were empty but your soundtrack was a bop Rest In Peace, Runbow

SoundCloud

the 3D scene for this looks pretty funny

idk what is a grease pencil, I just scrawled the face and eyes on a bunch of planes that I hide and show

anyways learn 3D it's really fun and extremely rewarding
I am once again asking what The Algorithm is trying to tell me
??????
so how much is it. how much do i need

uhhh

that's a wee bit ominous

it's just GOING right now

is this because I keep looking at (though not clicking lol) the cursed ads only so it gives me more of those

I've been wondering about this
@halcy an extension to the canon
@lritter i mean, certainly not diagnosed. But then, I am also not a senior with no will from the UK
@halcy you're asking a lot of questions already answered by the shirt /j
@halcy okay but I want it
@electrocutie well, available on amazon dot co dot uk. probably!
@halcy asking the important questions
@halcy this is just a cuter version of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDhNQPt8An0
Integrated Circuit Chip Walking To Stayin' Alive Synced to Music

I synced it : DYes, this is actually an NE555, not a "Computer Chip" but that's not the name of the meme ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@eta oh god is that stop motion
@halcy it looks pretty rendered to me
@halcy your son... I love him....
@halcy I imagine he's from this place, and is out on a morning stroll: https://youtu.be/8_KDAqx4ltE?t=852

Just a Little Dude

@halcy Once, when I was a kid, I found a computer shop that sold, like, literally exactly this product, but it was an old-fashioned DIL through-hole IC with googly eyes and a tail.

I have lived my entire life since then hoping to once again find this, The Best Product Ever Sold.

@halcy Awww, the gap between the front and hind legs makes it so adorable
@spenot I wanna fire up blender and make a 3D animation of it! but i am at work
@halcy listening to the taco bell grilled cheese burrito podcast on 2x speed to catch up on the lore

@halcy

Plug types called "Type A" and "Type B"
Worst one of all
Used mostly in the US and Japan

(Why did Japan betray us in such a way
)

(Schuko is good, but polarisation isn't clear, IEC 60906-1 (Type N) would be nice to have as an alternative)

@halcy Schuko is good but the one thing it lacks that it could really do with is a specific polarisation
@TinaStormcaller @halcy I wouldn't trust the average German household to have that hooked up correctly anyways
@halcy do you think he just like knocked up 100 people in like one summer and his kids are all the same age or do you think he spread them out over time

@aeva @halcy pronatalism

expect pretty much any tech billionaire to have been discussing similar theories and to, given any opportunity, have about this many kids,

@estelle @halcy ok but that doesn't answer my question

@aeva @halcy high likelihood whatever they internalized is still in techbro twitter somewhere

i roughly understand they have a suspicion of sperm donation services (they believe probably the operator will mess things up; this is not always a wrong assumption)

and there's the elon case where he just, accosts as many women as possible and also marries and divorces some

...and it's gross enough i really don't want the specifics of this one!

@estelle @halcy i don't want to hear about your hobby keeping track of this stuff i just want to make absurd speculation and pretend this guy isn't real

@aeva I figure that the practicalities of it demand that you'd spread it out, since you'd want like, 2 to 3 days pause for sperm count, and pregnancy is not guaranteed so you'd have to try more than 100 times to end up with 100 children total

but also I have decided that clicking the article to find out cannot possibly be worth it

@aeva I mean actually for all I know he adopted. but once again,
@halcy "micro-weddings" - or as we normal people call them - "weddings".
