Thing I did not know was possible:
Apparently it’s actually possible to lose a bot game in dota2 even on the Easier setting! It’s true!
for some reason my posts are taking like 24 hours to actually post; did i miss a memo or something
EDIT: oh sure this post goes up instantly
why do people in the mushroom kingdom eat mushrooms when they are mushrooms
rude question, fungi are an entire kingdom of life — why do animals eat animals???
the simpsons got really weird.
Homer and Marge went to high school in the 70s, had children in the 80s and went to college in the 90s?
well, that’s actually right going by even the early stuff. Homer didn’t go to college until like Season 4? The episode where Homer is friends with the nerds, I’m not gonna look up the name.
EDIT: also that episode of the Simpsons doesn’t feature Homer as a Kurt Cobain impersonator, nor even with a full head of hair and is completely fucking different to this
The Simpsons has gotten really weird though. I’d probably use “bad” instead of “weird,” myself though.
sorry to deathsbuddy you but i have Strong Opinions about the Simpsons
it really is a shame that the simpsons was canceled back in 2001. but at least they went out on a high note instead of sliding into mediocrity.
there are many, many reasons why the simpsons is terrible but i have always found the way that flashbacks exist on a sliding scale timeline kind of charming
Sliding scale timelines as present in the Simpsons and other sitcoms are actually symptomatic of something analogous to a universe tearing itself apart in a Big Rip but pertaining to time instead of space — time between events grows exponentially, and more things happen between events. Eventually this temporal expansion gets out of hand, and time rips itself apart.
Given the Grand Unifying Theory of St. Elsewhere, we can conclude that all sitcoms are really glimpses into an alternate, dead universe where time has disappeared and all that is left are infinite amounts of moments, split apart and never to come together again. We’ve pieced together these snapshots, 24 to 60 every second, and overlaid some laugh tracks so we don’t have to think too deeply about the grim fate of those locked in stasis forever

In a test of this hypothesis, participants read passages from either a book about wizards (from the Harry Potter series) or a book about vampires (from the Twilight series). Both implicit and explicit measures revealed that participants who read about wizards psychologically became wizards, whereas those who read about vampires psychologically became vampires.
something to think about: if horse_ebooks were always funny than it would cease to be so, because the entire point is that sometimes a spambot that posts random quotes can choose a really really hilarious excerpt
if someone went and hand-curated horsey books posts to only make it tweet the funny ones it would immediately stop being funny
horse_ebooks tweets an average of two funny tweets a day, and during this same interval, the internet populace takes the oldest funny tweet and makes it a meme, and at this point that tweet is no longer funny.
now suppose that the technological singularity is approaching, and so that the length of this cycle halves itself in each occurrence. when the singularity arrives and humanity is no more, is horse_ebooks funny?
