“if mushrooms are the superior lifeform that really calls the shots on this earth, why haven’t they destroyed us yet?” listen to yourself. have we as humans gotten rid of every mountain on the planet just because we are smarter than big rocks? no!! because they don’t pose a threat to us. sure some people die rock climbing or skiing and that’s tragic but mountains aren’t dangerous to us as a global society. do you see where i am going with this. it’s your misplaced hubris that makes you think that humankind is worth destroying to a mushroom. we are a part of the mundane landscape on the surface. we pose no threat to the mycelian era. humble yourself

this fruit is so good i wish i could give every farmer in Peru 100 thousand dollars
i don’t understand how one can be both a billionaire and a human because i would eat an average quality mango and be like “call my financial advisor I have to bestow a gift upon every mango grower on Earth.”
I had this idea for a looping animation in which a single dot has a pretty long loop, but the animation as a whole is much shorter. Because of the repetition this animation is only 1 second long!
babe wake up a new disaster in applied libertarianism just dropped
it is already KNOWN that cryptobros are goons and always up to clownery but this is truly the FUNNIEST example i’ve seen in a long time
please take the time to at least skim the story 3 guys buying a yacht, planning to make it into a floating town where you can only spend cryptocurrency while in the freedom of the ocean, immediately discover that maritime laws exist, end up blowing all their money to be three guys and a crew of 40 on an empty ship they are unable to sell for scrap, one guy spends christmas alone on a waterslide…….. it’s incredible
like i do not feel remotely bad for them, literally any amount of research would have revealed their plan as unfeasible, they CHOSE to waste their money like this
The rooms:
Did not allow pets over 20lbs and would not allow barking for over 10 minutes (or else the pet couldn’t live on the boat anymore)
Only had a mini fridge with no microwave (the only food on the ship would be from a restaurant)
Cost $560/month for a small, windowless interior room
And the “seastead” was supposed to be in the shape of the Bitcoin sign
absolutely hysterical that a bunch of libertarians thought a cruise ship was the way to escape regulation
Okay, so Friedman started yammering on about libertarian seatopias in 2010, three years after Bioshock. You cannot convince me this is a coincidence.
Cryptocoin, cruise ships, and libertarians are like three things that are all constantly dangling by a single frayed thread over total disaster and they put all three together.
I absolutely cried laughing reading about this. I have the book on order.
Yeah I’d get on a boat run by this guy
Oh my. Don’t get me wrong, A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear is a highly entertaining cautionary tale, but this…. is next level. This is like buying a condo at Fyre Fest, but dumber.
Understand that you were not allowed a microwave, but you were allowed to set up a cryptomining rig.
Dog people don’t quite understand that well-cared for indoor cats regularly live into their late teens, some into their 20s. Also cats don’t tend to show visible signs of aging like dogs do. A 10-15 year old medium/large breed dog is usually visibly old and often slowing. Cats at that age who have good genetics and have received good care look completely like their younger selves and still have play drives and energy and their personalities. Not my cat though. She’s only 5 and she’s looked like roadkill since birth. People often think she’s a senior cat because her body type is weird and she doesn’t groom herself. This is because she is just a little weirdo.
I love her so much but that just doesn’t negate the fact she looks like the Pet Sematary reanimated evil version of someone’s beloved pet. She looks like she’s decomposed just enough for her skin to start slipping. She has cat dandruff. She never cleans under her claws so they’re often black. Her face is crusty and she tries to kill you if you clean it. She’s just built DIFFERENT.
nope! here are her baby pictures (from 2017)
she went through an almost normal cat phase around 3 months of age but reverted back to being yucky
