@revolverocelot ...not the response I was expecting but you do you

If any of you are Transformers fans then there's a limited edition Transformers x G-SHOCK watch coming out in a couple of days

It comes with an Optimus Prime display stand thing

@c0debabe it was definitely some prick somewhere saying "I don't accept your counterfeit genders" or something to that effect but I can't remember who or where just that we all ended up riffing on it for most of a day

I can't remember quite where "counterfeit genders" came from but it always brings a giggle when I remember it

@maple that was a really good talk

also yes I know your name is the "unicode consortium" but we all know people only care about the emojos

hey emojo consortium, zero width joiners to have emojos driving vehicle emojos please

@maple

@maple arcade games featuring maple!

Present wrapping tip: save money, time, and effort by wrapping gifts to people in brown paper no matter what the occasion

You don't have to go and buy <event> themed wrapping paper, it's cheap, thicker than the standard wrapping paper, more forgiving when you mess up, and it comes in massive rolls so one order will get you enough paper for the next decade

Also if you use it with brown masking tape and brown card labels it looks like you're going for a theme rather than just being a lazy sod

@maple ROBOBUN!

@bombshellbun

@maple hi maple bun!

@Jo massive overkill

I think the standard issue for DIY keyboards is still the teensy, then again pi zeroes are so cheap you're not spending much more

@qonnyr I'll admit, this news story does make less sense than usual

As far as we're aware eugen hasn't sent any of his own hair to a rapper in order for them to make him a protective amulet so... uh... guess that goes in the Twitter/Mastodon comparison lists

"Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey sent beard shavings to Azealia Banks so she could make an amulet to protect him from ISIS"
