The Devil's Machine is confiscated as evidence by the U.S. Bureau of Prohibition, unwittingly leading to the Bureau being erased in 1933 following an incident that the government has tried very hard to redact.
idea: Earthbound (SNES), except the party of Ness and his friends is replaced by Eliot Ness and his Untouchables. The final encounter with Heavily Armed Pokey ends anticlimactically as agents from the Bureau of Internal Revenue arrest him for tax evasion (for the riches he accumulated working under Geldegarde Monotoli). Giygas himself eludes arrest, but only because nobody can comprehend of his true form enough to slap the cuffs on him.

I'm starting to realize, at this point, that what major media companies are doing to us in regards to rampant delisting and removal of movies/games etc. is Reverse Piracy, by _their_ definition of piracy. They believe piracy is theft? That piracy takes away from people? Then they go and take it away from everybody else.
Maybe the comparison only works when it's simplified beyond the point of usefulness, but damn it, it feels right to *me*.
When eight-year-old Emma Glenfield wanted to know more about why magpies swoop at people, her teacher (Luke Carr) encouraged her to gather data and analyse it.
She noted that the birds seemed to target tall balding men, and created an online survey with the help of her mum. The survey went viral, with over 30,000 respondents.
The results, as shown in a brilliant Lego graph, demonstrated that the birds do target balding men more frequently (with less than 1% margin of error, thanks to the large sample size).
"According to magpie expert Darryl Jones, professor emeritus at Griffith University, it's the first time anyone has ever examined the link between magpie swooping and appearance."

The ABC article includes more details, along with this excellent Lego graph (and other great pictures).
@GFD hot(?) take: the stanley parable is a visual novel
Oh my FUCKING GOD
I finished dumping 99.99% of a very old, damaged, backup CDROM that was previously unreadable. It took 3 days and I was super excited to find what old data I put on it. The disc had UDF sessions, because that was common at the time for just Adding Files non-rewritable media.
So I mount that shit in my Windows 98SE box, and lo and behold, this is all that was on it.
I would be absolutely upset if it wasn't so fucking funny

@fraggle@octodon.social You give up:
- balls that fly
- being able to blame the wind when your shot misses
- that nice long pleasant 250yd walk from the tee
- all of your clubs except one
- golf cart rides
you receive:
- all putting all the time
- bouncy walls
- the presence of kids
- shame
- a don quixote complex
- that last hole that just eats your ball and sends it back behind the counter at the clubhouse
@mcc A very merry cake-thumb ππ to you. Here is one of my favorite sky photos I've ever taken. The resulting image isn't nearly as vibrant as I remember the sky actually being that day, but the way the camera desaturated it makes me think film-noir, sort of.
tbt to when i was installing an extremely out of date linux distribution for the #lols and got this amazing error
@TonicBH I always worry when that much stuff in one category shows up at a thrift store at once. Was somebody getting rid of stuff in a hurry? Argument? Death in the family?
I can't imagine why else someone would dump off all of their Trek tapes in this photo from 7 years ago.
