In every single episode, the Scooby Doo gang discover a human is behind the mystery, not ghosts or mummies or whatever. Yet they begin each new case believing the villain is a supernatural being. Every time. Not once do they say “maybe it’s an old man like last time”

In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

only just now learned that there is/was a thriving pirate internet service provider culture (think pirate radio & pirate television) in lebanon, where a state run ISP is too expensive & offers slow rates. does anyone have any good leads for where i can learn more abt this, bc i am late to the party

video games are all about meeting a little elf

weed!' when you give him a healing herb and then
finding yourself fifteen years later saying "ah... the

These videos are produced in-house by a small animation cell in the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit, working mainly in After Effects + Blender

In a TikTok posted after Israel's June attacks on Iran, soldiers describe working weeks under “prime-minister-level secrecy” to prepare visuals

Many of these “illustrations” aren’t based on verified intelligence at all.

Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

I think this might just be the way I need to do this:
I am looking to connect w/ an old friend from a play-by-post RPG forum called Mythweavers. They went by the name "Renzel" back then, used to talk all the time before drifting away in college. I'd love to try and get in touch with them again.
