@WammKD my thinking is:

"easy to use phone payment app" = good

"adding a social network component to that" = wait what?

@Nine there's a new trend in yorkshire of people taking mdma by rubbing it just above their teeth

They're calling it "E by gum"

@vantablack ...drug dealers... love it?

Great, a long history of illegal transactions you've made, just what you want to have available

I have just discovered what a "venmo" is

A way to pay people combined with a... social network?

What the fuck is wrong with silicon valley

NIST runs three radio stations, WWV, WWVH, and WWVB

You've probably not heard of them, but you could well have used them before

They broadcast a time signal to the vast majority of North America, this time signal allows clocks, watches, and all kinds of other things to synchronise with an accurate time

Due to budget cuts they're planning to shut these down in 2019, meaning anything that uses the system won't be getting an accurate time any more and will need to be set manually

Which sucks

I think somebody who's a far better writer than I should put together a collection of fediverse lore

Like the hiveway saga, and william shatner not being able to find you here

Preferably in an old norse poetry style

Oh hey! Is this Hiveway 2.0?

@BatElite yep, those are jalapenos

@lambdagrrl what you get varies from place to place, but it's always pretty much "some of everything we cook here"

@InspectorCaracal döner meat

It's basically a big thing of meat (typically lamb with spices) on a vertical stick that rotates in front of a grill type thing

The person cooking it then takes off slices with a big knife as it's spinning and that's your döner meat

Me mentioning fish and chip shops just then got me thinking about the finest piece of cuisine Scotland has ever produced

The Munchy Box
