Hi newskies! I'm SWinxy, a software developer making a Minecraft world editor called Euclid.

This is what the splash screen looks like, which was created EXACTLY five years ago to the day.

A crude drawing of a Steve, standing on a pile of voxels, holding up a block to the viewer. A speech bubble coming out of him says "wow this sucks".

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

in 2007, steve jobs promised an all-in-one device that would serve as a cell phone, an ipod, and an internet device. what he introduced next was the Mac Pack: a 135-pound backpack with a pull-over steel dome housing a computer monitor, a 14-foot aerial antenna, and a 900-foot retractable power cable

Ambien is a helluva drug. I browsed Craigslist for stuff, then found a focus group to be a part of, then completed a questionnaire on continuing education.

I should mix it with tranquilizers so I don't do that next time.

I do too, shame it's owned by PepsiCo and not an independent brand.

I hope that spinoff to its own company would be feasible.

Considering swallowing my whole bottle of ambien for how awake I feel right now at 3am

That @quakeroats.com is on here with only 12 followers is sad and very funny

Quaker Oats account, with 12 followers, 2 following, and 13 posts. The last skeet was from more than a month ago: "Sometimes you just wanna have a bowl of oatmeal, hitch up your knee britches and get to work."

Right? The world isn't a butler serving up things to clap at, and neither should social media.

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

Guys. I just had a crazy idea. What if the President DIDN’T deploy troops in American cities. Just a thought. Have we tried that before?

The Ass is the father of the legs @internethippo.bsky.social · 3d

A traveler from an antique land--great guy--said to me with tears in his eyes "Sir, two vast and trunkless legs of stone stand in the desert." And I said wow, that's really something. But we'll be building a big beautiful statue to my hubris and it will stand for eternity
