If you’re getting whipped cream and caramel syrup on top of your coffee order, just go to a Baskin Robbins already

Japan's most popular online marketplace is only available in a handful of other countries. That's all about to change. Mercari is slowly rolling out a worldwide app that will let anyone buy anything sold in Japan from anywhere.

Ok you can’t post that and not share the sauce especially since he probably got some white sauce on his face too. Messy Alfredo pasta

A hidden easter egg in Mac OS 9 showed Apple's 1 Infinite Loop campus. We could see it by holding down Control+Option+Command and choosing "About the Mac OS 9 Team" from the Apple menu. Many Mac programs at the time had similar easter eggs on their About screens, including Photoshop.

(I also might be very biased about this bc the number of new/casual/children(?) fans who think hatsune miku is “canonically” 16 and any depiction of her as anything but is DISGUSTING!!!1!) and it’s like oh buddy this is not the place for you

Alright y'all, so I had this essay about the current era of the internet and the hypocrisy from all sides about children on social media in my head for months.

This is actually my first time writing an essay like this so uhm, it would be cool if you read it 👉👈

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

This is also why as much as I hate the OCs in prsk I have to give immense credit to SEGA to actually seek out new, fresh song content for the game. So many genres, vocal synths, etc. DIVA at the end kept recycling the same songs.

@mslanimator @mslanimator.bsky.social · 1d

Sometimes you just need a screaming robot in your ears and vflower works if you need a growling robot and KAFU works if you need a helium robot

@mslanimator @mslanimator.bsky.social · 1d

Vflower and KAFU are both vocal synths at their peak were used in songs that they were okay-ish, (like you could have plug and played any other female synth and it would have sounded better) but when they are in loud, chaotic songs, they SHINE. Like DAYUM. That overuse of growl, helium, it WORKS
