Once when we were studying in biology class, when I was maybe 14 or 15, the teacher leaves the room and comes back with this sort of telly on the wheelie stand thing; he was trying to surprise us with an educational distraction from textbooks and, it was good on paper.

He must have forgotten to rewind the VHS or something, of a nature documentary, and the entire class got an immediate scene of two wildebeast trying to repopulate the Savannah by themselves.

I mean it did work, since it was a great distraction whilst he frantically Goku punched the Stop button as fast as he could, before pressing rewind.

Nice to see Crass ethos promoted on my feed. I have this symbol as a tattoo, for over a decade. What this post really does is remind me I need a touch up!

Occasionally I check the news, maybe once per month or two, just to see if the world is still on fire.

Most of the time it is. Fair enough I guess.

So that when they find his hard drives, he can say the person is actually 3,032 years old.

I very much enjoyed reading this, thank you.

Screen irssi… That’s something I have not heard in a long time.

My favourite keyboard was on my BlackBerry Bold 2.(9700 I think was the model number). The keys were shaped in a way that made touch typing an absolute breeze with the perfect amount of tactile feedback.

Give me back my physical keyboard, and I’ll be happy alongside better battery life (or removable batteries).

The last thing I want is a phone I can mistake for a table mat when I’m tired, which I feel is how phones are going. What’s the new average screen size now? 27" or is that next year’s model?

Thank you, I had no idea. Already had uBlock Origin on my phone (FF), so that’s one less extension needed. Works perfectly!

I have a Sharkpad as a third party controller, bought as a kid all those years ago, and it is genuinely the most comfortable N64 I have used to this day. Simple modification but it was an absolute beast!

There’s quite a few you’d find with a search, phrases in general, however one example out of many is the simple phrase: cakewalk, or ‘taking the cake’. The phrase has origins as a sort of dance African slaves would perform in order to win a prize of a cake.

Here’s a source I found on it, which is short, however there is a longer Wikipedia entry about too: https://birminghamhistoricalsociety.com/2023/02/06/history-of-the-cake-walk/

Edit: I’m sorry I remembered this is about sexual stereotypes. I’m way too high since I went down a rabbit hole and can’t decide on a source. Sorry lmao.

Which one? There are various different stereotypes, and many have roots in some rather shameful aspects of History (e.g.: treatment of slaves). I understand the down votes on this question, however I do suggest people research various stereotypes revolving around ‘black’ men and women. I personally found it rather shocking to discover how many terms, which are used for a general prejudice of all people, originated through harsh exercise of bigotry.

I had a dream once that a pimp was in charge of alteration surgeries, and trans people walked in and he would go “FO’ YOUZ I GIVE MA BOTTOM SURGERY, SHE DA BEST SURGERY, MY MAIN SURGERY” and he was the best doctor in town for it.

That’s a lovely way to see it. Thanks for the kind words.

I believe that ethos is along the lines of the meaning behind a semi-colon tattoo. As far as ‘trend tattoos’ go, I do like the idea of it.

Same, I’m getting there. I’ve been using the steam room at my gym, since the steam forces me to regulate my breathing. It’s a crutch but it has worked wonders for my mind.

The I Love Egg song. No shortcuts.

Could even make an entire assembly about it. Every morning, spend five minutes dancing and showing allegiance to the vitamins and minerals in you, and oodles of the proteins too (oodle doodle)!

This just sounds like one of my Indian uncles.

Why can’t we shorten is it to Is’t, but It’s is fine? Absolute hypocrisy, if you ask me.
