Tired: to jump the shark
Wired: to craunch the marmoset

Examples:

"That realtime chat SaaS has really craunched the marmoset lately."

"Swarp:tm:, once an innovative leader in the field of tech startup profile enhancement, has finally resorted to investing in the craunched marmoset futures market in order to shore up its ailing portfolio."

damn the fediverse is like my favorite flavor of shitposting

I don't know

I don't even know if I'll ever know

so

no reason to pursue that line of thought

I can't tell if that'd go well but I honestly kinda doubt it? but fresh hell is still at least fresh! 🙃

just watched the super mario brothers super show for the first time

holy shit what even were the 80's

what if your pun is terrible, but because it's in a language you learned later in life. does it still count as funny? checking for myself

current events, thinks and feels 

hey, y'know that feeling, like you're not convinced you really have any idea what's actually happening in the world right now, like you're not really sure what the world at large will even look like at this time next year? not even your neighborhood?

you're not alone. don't think you are. anyone who tells you differently is trying to take something from you, whether it's obvious what they want or not.

literally no one ever has been through this combination of all this before now, and you're doing the best you can with what you've got to work with.

the song "seeya" always sent me somewhere similar, I still use it sometimes

we are all vast universes in our own tiny little ways

did someone say spacex?

fun fact: there's a mission in watch dogs 2 where you hack spacex

it's not called spacex, but it's obviously a rip-off of spacex

> am i so arrogant to think that i could do better where so many more brilliant and well funded people failed?

IMO, this is the only reason humanity has ever progressed in any field or endeavor: an idea that others, with all the advantages and knowledge, do not or would not even consider useful and/or possible, becomes voiced or is undertaken

programmers do a curious shuffle between meta levels.

at first there was only the machine itself, and to do anything you had to work directly on the object level. literally rewiring the physical machine to let current flow through the right set of semiconductors to get the computation you wanted.

then we went up a meta level, and could now describe what rewiring we wanted done, and the machine would do it while computing the answer. machine code is actually not the most fundamental level!

then we took that and wrote machine code that writes machine code based on notation that could generalize across machines.

and now here's the bit that makes it a shuffle instead of a walk in one direction... we could take that same notation and make it map to a different lower meta level. this program could be made to translate to different machine code for a different machine entirely than where it was originally!

and so it's possible to build both up and down from wherever you are in the stack!

my new invention is hologram hair. you shave your head, put a giant greenscreen crown on, and multiple projectors make any hair you want a reality. get a Calvin curlicue without crisco
