pro cooking tip: when a recipe calls for "mace" they mean the spice made from the seed covering of nutmeg, not tear gas

did someone bookmark my toot about sped up moon landing footage being brilliant and boost it today for the anniversary of apollo 11 or did it just resurface naturally?

@stolas@elekk.xyz is it an exterminatus when you flip the board after the inevitable rage-quit?

let me get this straight, a bunch of baby witches decided to try to put a hex on the moon

but before that, they had the great idea of TRYING TO PUT A HEX ON THE FAE?!

THE ENTITIES WITH CENTURIES OF FOLKLORE DETAILING PRECISELY WHY ONE SHOULD NOT FUCK WITH THEM?!

I'M ENTIRELY AGNOSTIC ABOUT THE IDEA OF MAGIC AND THE EXISTENCE OF THE FAE AND EVEN I THINK THAT'S A FUCKING TERRIBLE IDEA

@mavica pain to code with, always end up with race conditions

@rusty @jk "optical detector" - some dude, "large lens" - binoculars, "especially sensitive device" - eyes, "converts fluctuating light signals into electronic signals which can be electronically analysed" - that's a description of how human vision works, "positive reading" - yep, they're watching eastenders

@rusty @jk a search warrant that was released as part of a FOIA request read: "the optical detector in the detector van uses a large lens to collect that light and focus it on to an especially sensitive device, which converts fluctuating light signals into electrical signals, which can be electronically analysed. If a receiver is being used to watch broadcast programmes then a positive reading is returned."

which sounds like a lot of words for "we looked through the window"

@SuricrasiaOnline if one needs an incentive to be good, they're not good

@mavica you'd think it'd be "quack quack" but he's bilingual

@mavica cluck cluck, it's a duck 🦆

"what ancient knowledge can you pass on to us?"
"I dunno, how to wire a plug?"

You always think of immortals as being old ancient people who have been around for centuries, with or without eternal youth

It would totally suck to be a new immortal

"I'm immortal"
"OH MY GOD! TELL ME ALL ABOUT CLEOPATRA!"
"dude, I'm 40, immortal, still just 40"

@InvaderXan immortal engineer who is just SO DAMN PUMPED to be working with these new toys

@fribbledom "My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep"

sadly not the case, phil, sadly not the case

@mavica I knew we shouldn't have made those out of pastry!
