New piece of ridiculousness from MB&F & L'epee 1839

The Fifth Element, it's a desktop weather station

MB&F stuff is always fun

@squirrel *hugs*

@KitRedgrave@glitch.social oh god yeah, that and speaking of alcohol, the US uses the wrong pints

A UK pint is 568ml, a US pint is smaller at 473ml

@KitRedgrave@glitch.social in the UK anything sold in bottles/cans/whatev have "units" listed on the bottle

A unit is 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol, makes things far easier

Things that confuse me about the US medical system #32147:

Brand names for all medication

Especially when there are multiple brand names

Let's take a simple over the counter medication as an example: Addaprin, Advil, Bufen, Caldolor, Cap-Profen, EmuProfen, Genpril, Haltran, I-Prin, Ibuprohm, Ibu-Tab, Midol, Motrin, Nuprin, Proprinal, and Q-Profen

IT'S JUST IBUPROFEN DAMNIT, YOU DON'T NEED THAT MANY NAMES FOR IT

@squirrel an AI squirrelbun in a robot squirrelbun body!

That could possibly pilot a squirrelbun mech!

Every 5 years or so they start teasing these fabrics made with shape memory alloys

"Just put a hair dryer up to it and it'll get rid of all the creases and look nicely ironed with no effort" they say

Do these miraculous clothes ever make it to market? Like fuck do they

(just did the ironing, I hate ironing)

@alice@elekk.xyz sounds like she knows how to cat

@chosafine@instance.business usually they try to limit your appetite, reduce your bodies fat absorption, or increase your metabolism I think

Although in one notable case they were tapeworm eggs

Those ones actually worked but, y'know, now you've got a tapeworm to deal with

Thanks BBC, but I'm not sure "Putin wins Russian election" is breaking news

It's a bit like putting out push notifications that the sun rose in the sky this morning

octopuses are 🅱️oneless vertebrates

@chosafine@instance.business not sure you really need any electronics for that idea, just put down some marks that blend in with all the usual markings everywhere unless you know what you're looking for
