Not a bad theory. The Anonymous that we know is long gone, so the new blood has to be from somewhere.

Another day, another stupid 180 from our mercurial king 🙃

when the markets are this chaotic, only the wealthy can afford to trade futures. The rest of us can’t afford the risk to our life savings.

can’t be gay if you die in a climate-change induced weather disaster

it’s kind of like updog

once AI learns about bofa, we’re doomed.

Let us beeple have this!

ahahaha glad i’m not the only one who thought of this clip

It might be specific to beehaw, but i think it is intentional. If I remember right, I think beehaw recently updated to stop federation of images from other servers because it was forcing the admins to moderate CP/SA images coming from other, less-moderated/higher-volume servers. I don’t blame them for doing everything they can to avoid seeing those images, and it doesn’t make a big difference in my lemmy experience.

not loading for me :( if you uploaded directly to lemmy it might not federate to our instance here

Is…is this your blog? I’m struggling to understand what made you think about a blog post from 13 years ago about Napster and Chatroulette. hahaha

Not that the post is totally irrelevant or anything - i’m sure we can all still relate to interacting with “ghosts” whenever we pore through 6 year old reddit threads for advice on solving very specific problems. I just don’t know how anyone stumbles upon stuff this old.

love to get science confirming things that we mostly already suspect. like genuinely, it’s nice to have evidence to back up things that we want to believe.

On an unrelated note, the VR device they created to test this is kind of fascinating. Like…

The rat is harnessed in the VR system, designed by Shinsuke Tanaka, a postdoc in the Lee Lab. As the rat walks on a spherical treadmill, its movements are translated on the 360-degree screen. The rat is rewarded when it navigates to its goal…In the second task, the “Jedi” task—a nod to Star Wars—the rat moves an object to a location by thoughts alone. The rat is fixed in a virtual place but “moves” an object to a goal in the VR space by controlling its hippocampal activity, like how a person sitting in their office might imagine taking a cup next to the coffee machine and filling it with coffee.

They made an interface that allows a rat to control a virtual avatar with brain activity alone? I did not expect that to be how this test worked.

Nice.

listen we all know where Jack is from, but it’s just inherently funny when i can have him running around with an AK, dropping fools, and doing stupid dances on their corpses. Fortnite is surprisingly fun at any age if you just squad up with people your own age. I guess maybe the youngest Fortnite fans don’t know where Jack is from, but maybe the Fortnite skin inspires them to look it up!

totally, there were 6 meetings to approve “the look”

Okay but that was the most sexual look ever given in a Disney movie

clearly the smart fellas are the gassy ones, the fart smellas have to be smellin farts from somewhere
