I think for my website of disparate data, I want an effect where the content is on old frayed-edge parchment paper. However, I want it to adapt to the window size naturally, & I remembered that 12 years ago I made just such a design.

The trouble? It's a very tacky '90s-ish design both in appearance (granular, aliased gifs everywhere) and in HTML structure (layout tables two levels deep, with tabular data mixed in).

Linus Tech Tips 

Some episodes of LTT are actually informative. Then you have stupidly dangerous episodes like this, sort of like Electroboom vs. Home Improvement but not quite as funny, which are just begging for a follow-up video announcing that the studio caught fire because of an ignorantly half-assed lithium ion battery pack. youtube.com/watch?v=KUmlCH7bTO

Nazis getting fired 

Sing along now

"If you're a Nazi and you're fired,
It's your fault!
If you're a Nazi and you're fired,
It's your fault!
If you were spotted in the mob,
and you lost your fucking job,
You're a Nazi, and you're fired!
It's your fault!"

ruining fast food with vore kink 

I'd cry that I'm not into vore, but one of the jokes I've run with is that my phoenix form often ended up as deep fried original and extra-crispy pieces in buckets from KFP (Kentucky Fried Phoenix). Which is okay because phoenixes always regenerate, but also not okay because sometimes it happens early, while still inside of KFP customers.

ruining a song with vore kink 

"Sweet dreams are made of this."
Who am I to disagree?
I've traveled the world and the seven seas.
Everybody's looking for something.

Some of them want to taste you.
Some of them want to be your food.
Some of them want to baste you.
Some of them want inside of you.

"AI took my job!" 

there's an alternate present in which the tool is not the enemy of the worker, when "you've been automated" means more weekends and cheaper, better stuff, rather than utter disenfranchisement and abject poverty.

Google+ security coverup, closure 

‘A software glitch caused Google to expose the personal profile data of hundreds of thousands of Google+ users during the past spring and managers there chose not to go public with the information’

‘a memo prepared by Google lawyers and policy experts warned that disclosing the glitch would cause "immediate regulatory interest."’

Google has no interest in creating decent services or preserving any kind of legacy, & Google+ is now evidence of both. The 7-year-old service Google forced on millions of users in the face of massive breaches of privacy and trust is shutting down because their critics were proven right. blog.google/technology/safety-

In the "Aliens" episode of "Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking," Professor Hawking remarked, "Like us, they would probably have evolved from a species used to exploiting whatever it can. So, if aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America. Which didn't turn out very well for the Native Americans."
