Ask me about dinosaurs

I write code and make music and one day will make a movie
Pinned
Finally finished the video!

I'm going to have a baby soon, but I don't know how to take care of babies. So I made a simulator to learn from the public how to keep a baby alive.

How long can hundreds of strangers keep a baby alive?

My computer's fan is being louder than normal and I can only assume that's because of p4a and so much more activity than normal on the Nerdfighteria Feed

One of the best genres of music is "song about somebody who is so good at dancing everybody loses their minds and everybody wants to sleep with them and we wrote a song about them because they're so cool"

If nothing else, AI has shown us that our fonts are bad. How many Als are there out there suffering because everybody is confusing Al with AI.

Als everywhere deserve justice for what AI has done

I'm doing a movie pitch meeting tomorrow, do you think it will help or hurt my chances if I slip a "super easy, barely an inconvenience" in there

I'm so happy Hank mentioned Y2K as a disaster we averted during AHA

Everybody should know that there were tons and tons of programmers that worked for years to make sure everything didn't fall apart.

It wasn't the world being silly and overreacting, it was a real issue that we spent years fixing

Why can't we find out about secret celebrity parties that aren't horrifying

Like I just want to read in the news that Jeff goldbum has spent years inviting rich people to a mansion and it's only consenting adults and they play settlers of catan and he makes everyone try to play the trumpet

"That was the final straw" is referencing the straw that broke the camel's back??!!

There's a Wikipedia category page called "Individual Rocks"

Unfortunately it doesn't list every rock that exists

But it's still surprisingly interesting to skim through

Middle school insults have gotten advanced

Today I was told that I have a "reddit moderator voice" and it hurt me deeply

If aliens evolved underwater, I bet it would be craazzy when they finally made it to space and realized how far they could see

Like underwater visibility is measured in tens or hundreds of feet! Can you imagine going from that to seeing your solar system and stars millions of light years away??

It's really poor timing that now, of all times, they released a movie called Greenland 2: Migration

Do you think the people at lionsgate debated delaying the movie

Thanks everybody for checking out the wrapped! I figured maybe a dozen people would see it, but instead it was 500!

Seeing people *actually* use it makes me feel much less guilty about all of the time I spent on it

I'm a programmer and I'm bored

Somebody should tell @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social about the Dr pepper baby jingle on TikTok if he hasn't heard it yet
