Stack Overflow logic
Q: How do I screw in a light bulb?
A1: Why do you want to do that? It would be so much quicker to use a torch. It you have a wind-up one you don't even have to buy batteries!
A2: I can't believe you don't know how to do that. You're such a noob.
A3: Have you considered just living in darkness? It's more possible than you think ;)
A4: I wrote a blog post about this four years ago. Check it out: link-that-does-not-work .com
A5: This is duplicate thread. Closing

Did you know?
The Netscape Fishcam was the second public #webcam on the web. It went online in 1994 and it let you watch the Netscape office aquarium via a secret shortcut in Netscape Navigator by holding CTRL+ALT+F. I was a fan!
The camera survived the closure of Netscape and it's still online today as The Amazing Fishcam.
Go on and take a look!
Carl Quacks was Carl Barks' negadimensional persona. He drew wealthy dog anthros who presided over a town full of talking ducks.
Carl Barks was his name, and he was the first furry.
@melissasage The ~*~insanely~*~ great story of the Mac:
Jef Raskin starts work on it. Steve Jobs works on the Lisa, another Apple computer line. Steve names the Lisa after his daugher. Steve denies paternity of the non-computer Lisa. Steve gets kicked out of the computer Lisa project. Non-computer Lisa's mom fights Steve in court, because she is impoverished. Steve starts working on Jef's project, designing the Mac to be a less pricey version of the computer version of Lisa.

While I appreciate most Metroid games having a tonal consistency, I do prefer the "55% Bram Stoker's Dracula/ 45% Monster Mash" mix that Castlevania brings to the table.
I don't care about spoilers. If I'm interested in something, I want to be spoiled i.e. learn things about it. I don't give a rat's ass about experiencing it for the first time without knowing anything going in. Fuck that. I don't particularly value being surprised. If anything, I am anti-surprise. I enjoy exploring and learning and avoiding surprises.
It's also incredibly annoying to try to talk about media while avoiding spoilers -- you literally have to repress yourself ffs.

@kura WebAssembly is not malware - it can be used to write very good malware, much better than JS.

Steven Universe hate fandom and anime hate fandom shaking hands over never shutting the fuck up about the media they are obsessed with
racist flags
The thing is, people'll be like, "I don't condone vandalism," when they're talking about a confederate statue or this dipshit's house getting spraypaint on it.
They'll tell you graffiti is ugly and encourages crime and shit, while some ugly-ass house decorated with racist symbols is just hanging out there.

attempted transphobia that just ends up being rad as hell instead

Ok, Shrek probably didn't come out in the 90s, but it is spiritually a 90s movie. It has a gross-out animated protag, lots of sarcastic, reference-based humor, and Smash Mouth. It's not only a 90s movie, but the MOST 90s movie next to Tank Girl.
Yesterday I was talking about Mike Myers with a friend.
How the fuck did Mike Myers trick everyone alive in the 1990s into liking Wayne's World, Austin Powers, AND Shrek? Is he magic?

On the one hand, gentiles should be more educated about Judaism. On the other hand, they always seem to find a way to twist things around and use their knowledge for ill.

the general Jewish view of Jesus Christ is that he's one of a number of so-called messianic figures in roman-occuped Judea. one of the most prolific, sure, and a great teacher of Jewish thought, but there's nothing essentially new in his ministry or his thought that can't be traced to Jews before him.
the general Jewish view of St. Paul is that he's a sonuvabitch who can go to hell, which we don't have, but we might be able to make an exception in his case. he's the reason christianity is Like That.

explicit and overt historical racism in the first world war
TIL of the "Secret Information Concerning Black American Troops", a secret First World War memo from the Americans to the French, where the American government, freaked out that the French were being nice to Black soldiers, demanded the French recreate Jim Crow. The French, to their credit, ignored it and burned all copies of it they found; some hero leaked it to W.E.B. DuBois, who published it in its entirely.
