who the fuck let us brits have an empire when we created something we unironically call Zebra, Puffin or Pelican crossings, despite there being no resemblance to any of those animals in them, except MAYBE, TENTATIVELY, that the zebra crossing has black and white stripes.

...

that aren't zebra-like at all.

(image description for the link I posted:)
a black and white photo of what would probably be called a "zebra crossing" in the UK, it seems, with water pooled around one side. Two people are walking through it, one in sandals and cut off trousers/jeans with ankles bare, one in jeans and either smart shoes or boots. The shot is taken as water is splashing up from their steps heavily.

Red text displays "BIE" as the 'artist' name, and "The First Deterrant" as the album title, in a military-ish font

@monorail woah. that... might have been it actually, dang.

looking through my old files and... found a weird one of a fake album cover I made and I have NO fucking clue what it was I used to pick the name, image and text, but... looking at it now I'm like "fuck this looks punk as hell kinda wtf"

https://i.imgur.com/d3tNT.jpg like, pretty sure the words might have been from random wiki crawls but... NO idea what the image is from. This was years ago so I have no memory of what spurred this but p. sure it was some thread on a forum.

@monorail I... i have no idea what to feel about this video... or... like... that ending... just... holy fuck...fuck. fuuuck

@owashii@tech.lgbt oh okay.

*frantically googling 'raining crayons help what do' *

@owashii@tech.lgbt is... is there an appropriate season for crayon rains??

@stux Huh... pretty sure that's good for social distancing and covid prevention too! ... kiiiinda gonna suck if someone takes a spill on those stairs while dellivering food tho, and hopefully mobility impaired or disabled folks get priority on those lower seats.

@owashii@tech.lgbt Sleet is either rain that's trying to give you the cold shoulder (hurhurrr) or snow that's having a bad day and needs a shoulder to cry on (badumptch!)

@jk followed by a postit note taped, stapled AND GLUED to it in ALL CAPS, but written really small "actually just, don't bring any nuts whatsoever into the building it's really just safer... RIP Bob."

@jk sign somewhere by the boss's door that says "You don't have to be nuts to work here!" ... then in very small print underneath "actually we'd prefer you weren't we don't want to have to keep explaining why the printer sometimes eats people"

Surprised at how well the original Commander Keen holds up in terms of how it feels to platform about on it. Despite the movement feeling... floaty??... it feels weirdly responsive and like you have more or less full control. It's pretty intuitive.

@jk can't ever end up releasing something hideously awful if you never release any creative works ever and never ever do anything with your talents and inspiration *doesn't even bother posting the meme because they daren't ever be creative for fear of fucking up* :')

@heatherhorns the boys were always back in town... Who do you think is driving the "ambulance?"
