@vantablack I have it on good authority that nobody knows how magnets work

@vantablack lots of references to backtrack linux because his sources were all late oughts youtube videos called "how 2 hack lol"

@vantablack floppy disks

Climatic moment and.... oh, it's corrupted

"We should have spent more on disks, the cheap ones are crap"

@vantablack or go the other way around, group that uses sophisticated vr/ar suddenly disappears one by one because of a hole in the ground that they couldn't see in vr

@vantablack Yeah, making something phosphorescent and safe to breathe in might be a bit of an ask

Then you've got to light the stuff up, which is either putting LEDs in the vape to charge it or radioactive isotopes

The second idea is particularly bad

@vantablack might be tricky to find glow in the dark dyes that are safe for inhalation, but it would look pretty damn cool

The Bandai 8ban, it's a tiny record player that plays tiny records

If someone released an updated version of this and music was available on the format I'd buy the hell out of it

@squirrel a homo gay year to you too!

@noelle you have leftovers?!

I'll give you an arm for some curry

Not mine, obviously, I've got a starfish friend who owes me a favour

Damn, I want a curry now

@noelle, I'm blaming you for this

@vantablack thin crust, but piled up to be the thickness of deep dish

aaaaa people are being super adorable on my timeline

2018 looks like it might be the cutest year ever

Although I suppose that if called all timezones valid we'd have 24 new years to spread it about a bit...

Somebody get a cluster online, if we feed all the polycules into it now we might have it optimised it by next year

probably just as well mastodon isn't an actual physical space

What would we do about the new year kisses?

Would there be queues? Would people have to take tickets?

It'd be a scheduling nightmare

@turbodragon I think that's about the level of directness required for me to realise that

LT: New new year's resolution:

Get some news agency to refer to "the hacker known as mastodon"

(Preferably for something good)
