python is IMO the closest thing we have to a platonic ideal scripting language: it’s pseudocode that actually runs and you can just slap together libraries with minimal mental effort until it works.
Great for gently getting into programming so you quickly see results without having to learn arcane incantations, and for writing small tool programs; not so great for writing a kernel in.
honestly basically any animal that eats fruit will end up drunk at some point, a classic children’s story here in sweden has a scene where their chickens get drunk, and it’s pretty regular fare to hear about moose getting drunk on fermented apples from peoples’ back yards.
DANNE FENTON HAN VAR FJORTON ÅR, NÄR HANS MORSA OCH FARSA DOM HITTADE PÅ, EN MASKIN SOM SER DIT INTE ÖGAT NÅR
i want to live in a world where all insects ended up fluffy and cute like these moths and bumblebees are.
but also evolution can be fucking horrifying: barnacles are crustaceans, slice them in half and you see a twisted gross crablike thing inside the shell.
as if the technology is what makes livestream services difficult anyways lmao
it’s just expensive as shit because it involves a lot of data
i mean looking at how all animals behave, in the absence of anything resembling their natural habitat they’d probably hear a fan running and feel it’s close enough to running water.
really all it should take is just the word “seahorse”, most people have at some point heard about how the males carry the children there. Can’t really dismiss that.
i like how yahtzee used “[youtube]” cut over in a deadpan voice when he was still with the escapist, make it obvious that you’re having to censor yourself and call out the platform for forcing it.
“It was described in 2021 by Antoine Fouquet”
oh man my mind immediately turned that into a scene from Keeping Up Appearances…
“Hello mr. Fucket!”
cringes “It’s Fouquet dear…”
because that makes people click
well, i’m glad the US government is at least aware what C and C++ are!
Same, though i don’t even consider them imperfections since that implies it’s in any way negative.
It’s more like how a perfectly uniform naan bread is just boring and kind of unappealing, you want the bubbles and charring for flavour and visual appeal.
it’s baffling because personally i could rant about how pretty most women are for hours on end, and if desired i can extend that to a lot of guys as well and i’m not even that into dudes.
i feel this about most famous women who are said to be soooo attractive, like yeah sure angelina jolie isn’t ugly but come on how is she more attractive than a normal person? Same goes for bodybuilder guys, it’s so patently fake and harmful to their bodies!
at least the male hollywood standard can be somewhat sensible, george clooney looks like a real human person even if he’s the equivalent of a freshly groomed schnauzer.
but really, the most attractive people i’ve seen are just normal people on the street, and that’s without counting the fact that you can actually feasibly get into a relationship with them and they might actually be pleasant to be around.
i still do not fathom how mastodon is difficult, do people just expect the platform to read your mind and do everything for you? How is it any more difficult than youtube?
i have distinct memories of one of my early teachers having read a book to the class about a kid who peed themselves because they weren’t allowed to go to the bathroom, and from that day on we always had that one comfort in her classes: you’re always free to go to the bathroom, no need to ask (just inform that you’re heading to the toilet).
there are a series of things that can make points of light look spiky: eye defects, eyelashes when squinting, smudgy glasses, etc…
also most devices nowadays and even for a fair while now support other systems too: galilei, GLONASS, beidou, etc. The broad term for GPS-like systems is GNSS.
