36·2 months agoMy friends were very excitedly talking about setting up a corp in this when it was first announced.
They wanted my buy-in, and I asked if I could be head of HR, to which they said “yes”.
So I bought it, created our corp, and performed my ideal goal: set up a corp recruitment posting called “entry-level Star Citizen player” which required 10+ years in Star Citizen.
We’re now at the point where I have to find my log-in and change that to 20+ for the joke to make sense again.
Oh dang, it was my media PC until 2017, when the switch took over its role, IIRC. Definitely got my money’s worth out of it even if there were no games lmao

Just based on that summary, I immediately thought of the book Termination Shock, which has a similar premise of an actor beginning to geoengineer with global reprecussions - though it’s heavier on the politics of the situation than any actionable info. If you haven’t read it, I’d recommend. I’m definitely going to pick up Ministry For The Future.
I’ll be real: that butter distribution is hitting all the right spots in my brain and I have been craving a butter-drenched waffle for a few hours now. Luckily, it’s after when I normally eat, and hopefully by tomorrow I will have forgotten.
Important: the potato and the tomato are from Peru. Are we talking modern cuisines, or pre-Columbian fusion?
I heard if you trade a pokemon early that can use surf and strength and then push the car off the island when you get to the S. S. Anne a Mew appears
Lmao I remember seeing this exact scene as a kid, thinking as he was talking “oh that sounds cool as fuck” and then only from how the scene played out realizing it was supposed to be a significantly boring concept

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Everyone knows what an email address is, right? (Quiz)
25·7 months agoI scored 16/21 on https://e-mail.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.
Damn, and here I thought I had this locked down because I was salty that so many places struggle with
+in the email addy. But my god, there’s comments?
Knowyourmeme has the rundown.
Bonus: the first one I saw over the years
Christ you pulled that memory out of a basement I didn’t even realize I had

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•When you are really dumb and don't realize it
9·8 months agoYou’ve got it with the second sentence, yep. Something is “on” something if it’s attached to it - so hanging upside-down from the ceiling counts, because it’s attached to it.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•You can drive 74 hours and still be in Germany. The American mind cannot comprehend this.

Lmao, watched the musical this past weekend with visiting fam, would recommend
alias cls=clearMy first language was QB, so it makes me chuckle.
Also,
alias cim=vim. If I had a penny…
Oh that was just FSN, an actual filesystem browser for IRIX back in the day. You can install the port FSV if you want to browse your files as if they’re 3D objects on Linux today



This is what I would refer to the extra big bags of cereal as when living with a friend and it was his turn to do grocery shopping.
