A windows 3.1 screenshot showing an icon at 1x, 2x, and 4x size. The icon is a fan-drawn image of Bart Simpson, though his proportions are little questionable

I seem to recall there's actual studies that back this up. like, there's a correlation between being conservative and being more nauseated by spoiled food and insects and such

The Macintosh PowerBook BLIT was definitely safe for looking at all possible images.

For a little while, anyway.

$A photo of a Macintosh PowerBook BLIT, with eight separate small and chaotically sized screens on its display where there would normally be one. Designed not to show all of an image at one time, it's showing some probably completely innocuous fractal-like design in part across the screens.$

an important part of remembering the past is so we know exactly why we shouldn't do that shit ever again

In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again.
If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive.

a not great aspect of the 2020s is every now and then i'll remember a writer/actor/comedian/musician i haven't heard about in a while and i'll think "oh I wonder how they're doing.... really hope they haven't *directly to camera* TURNED EVIL"

what the fuck do you MEAN you can evolve eevee into jolteon in gen 1 by getting into a trainer battle, levelling eevee up, switching to growlithe, and finishing the battle with growlithe, because growlithe's pokemon index is the same as thunder stone's item index. WHAT. WHATTT

maybe redstone being a bitch meant people were more likely to share their successes because they were so much work to get working

yeah! you know, I wonder if it maybe helped with minecraft's popularity in a weird way? because supposedly a big part of why it blew up was from people sharing build pics/vids on social media, making other people go "ooh what's that game?"

it's SO jank. like, I'm a professional "doing shit with the wrong tools" girl, but even I won't mess with redstone. I just use modded stuff that's way simpler and easier and more powerful.
