If you care about games, take a moment to read through this and take action. NSFW games might not be for you - they're not for me - but we cannot allow a small group of censorious extremists to decide that people can not make games about sex, about sexuality, and about the role of sex in our world.

Someone on Australian Master Chef made a meringue and the audience clapped and cheered, which was a bit weird…

Australians normally boo meringue.

hey anyone want a cant of coke?

RossMadness Jul 17

@Viss Ah, diet can't. My favorite.

1000millimeter Jul 18

@rossmadness @Viss Basically maximum diet.

oo im so employable oo u want to hire me so bad Jul 17

@Viss can of noke

AI6YR Ben Jul 17

@Viss Now, surely you don't have some kind of implement of destruction which can open that can 😂

@ai6yr oh you mean a cant opener? :D

Cruiser 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇬🇱🇨🇦🇲🇽Jul 17

@Viss @ai6yr Best Diet Coke ever - zero calories consumed without the nasty taste of aspartam, and without those pesky side effects upon ones absorbtion processes 😎

@Viss @ai6yr you'll need a can toppener to put a top on that can if you want to open it right

AI6YR Ben Jul 17

@feonixrift @Viss Make sure to SHAKE IT VERY VERY HARD before using the can opener (it's important)

Ray—Golden Retriever Whisperer—🔝Insights Jul 17

@Viss I’ve had empty cans but never this.

@Viss Is the actual opening on the bottom or are both sides bottoms?

@nazokiyoubinbou no idea, i looted the pic from elsewhere :D - but the rim suggests thats the top of the can, as well as the text, so the bottom should be... just the regular bottom

@Viss Oh well. Where there is a will, there is a way. But eh, diet coke? Someone else can have it.

me_valentijn Jul 17

@nazokiyoubinbou @Viss
Neither, it's an amusing fake. The only images with text going that high up the can are weird illustrations. And various can geeks pointed out in the relevant Reddit threads that it's defying the natural laws of coke can production and assembly 😔

Paul_IPv6 Jul 17

really is diet. zero calories if you can't drink it. ;)

@Viss
I had a Pepsi can like that, given to me by an employee of the local bottling company. Usually these are detected before they get packed into six-packs or boxes, but occasionally one slips out.
I used mine as a paperweight, until an a**hole friend of a roommate shook it up, and it started bulging.

F4GRX SÃ©bastien Jul 17

@brouhaha @Viss spicy pepsi

echo ex machina Jul 17

@Viss you gotta open it war style

@iveyline Jul 17

Merry Christmas Jul 17

Would not buy one if there were the last drink on earth.

Petra van Cronenburg Jul 17

@Viss no, for the environment, no.

@Viss 🤭

tizilogic Jul 17

@Viss looks like @NanoRaptor got into the coke factory...

Eisregen Jul 17

@Viss I wanna hit a nail into this and drink from the resulting hole

Hale-Boop Jul 17

@Viss Perfect diet coke

HowToPhil (Phillip R)Jul 17

@Viss You need a "churchkey"

1000millimeter Jul 18

@howtophil @Viss Why is this called church key?

HowToPhil (Phillip R)Jul 18

@1000millimeter @Viss The etymology is very fuzzy. I think it's because it's "key-shaped" (as far as old metal keys go) and that churches would open large cans of food to feed people.

Could also be because the flat-top beer cans required one too and people would call "going out to drink" "going to church" to be cheeky

@Viss something to serve the orange tyrant...

Maybe even apply it to his forehead at supersonic speeds.

Stefan Hetzel Jul 19

@Viss It's also called "Marquis de Sade-Coke".

@Viss @Der_Lichttechniker best diet ever
