This just in: big fonts and small amounts of text surrounded by dead space attract attention.

Nah, it’s the ADHD.

Paying less is good. I love sales, but they are still a psychological manipulation to get you to spend more money than you normally would.

This dude is 100% correct and I have no idea why people are downvoting him. Sales make people more likely to buy a product due to being limited. Limited time sales work better than lowering prices in the long term.

It’s why indie games do stuff like release their new games with time-limited 10% off discounts.

I’m pretty sure she didn’t consider those to be animals, only “bugs”

One day I’m going to frame a coloured drawing I still have from year one. The following event is also still ingrained in my mind: We had to colour in a picture with several animals, one of which was a small spotted reptile in a puddle of water. Clearly a salamander.

The teacher crossed it out in red pen and screamed that I am old enough to know lizards are green and there is no such thing as a black and yellow animal on this earth.

I don’t get why people recommend nothing phone. They promise less years of software updates than most major brands and the best they do differently is “it’s sustainable”. Whatever that means.

Legit bit of code I saw once getRandomColor() { Random.seed = 0; return Color.blue; }

On the reverse side I told a bunch of people on Furcadia that 2 airplanes had just hit the twin towers.

Do not Google Furcadia on your work PC.

My weird “paranormal” quirk is knowing when someone is sick by smell. My nose is usually blocked up and I can barely smell flowers but for some reason I can just tell when someone is incubating some sickness that will make them bedridden the next day.

No idea how it works. I just smell “sick” - it’s kind of this warm earthy ground smell. I can even smell it on myself sometimes and I’ll know I need to take a day off tomorrow. My theory is I can smell something off in the skin temperature.

If it’s the UK it’s cheaper to meet in a random ass village in Lapland. (Or Mallorca).

Why is everyone suggesting ventoy and stuff and no one is telling you to just reformat drives you no longer need? Or are they all live OSs in use? Am I missing something?

When I lived in Germany I told this joke to a bunch of people.

Foreigners were either slightly offended (for the jab at germans) or found it chuckle worthy.

Germans couldn’t stop laughing.

Helsinki yes, Finland no.

Look into Hema. I’m sure there’s a club local-ish to you and if not just start one.

Eh going the extra mile is how I got so burned out I had to quit a job for the sake of my physical and mental health.

Did I get promoted? Hell no. Never did. The boss’s wife sure did though.

Yes I’m aware you said balance but I just had to share why I’m currently trying not to care anymore. Note I said trying, I’m really terrible at not giving everything to every project I’m in.

Not American but doesn’t central America get cold as fuck at night? I would assume that’s what cowboys dressed for since you can always remove clothes but you can’t exactly create them from thin air at night.

Same happened with me but on YouTube! Reported an ad that was pretending to be fox news or something, led to a website pretending to be another news site that linked to a fake shell (the oil company) site to get your credit card information. Despite going very in depth about the scam “everything was fine”.

I think it’s “Return to a life where you don’t get internal organs in your hair?”

This is literally what capes were like. The world was even more dangerous back then and the human brain hasn’t received any upgrades since capes went out of fashion :)

This is 100% valid when dealing with code generation sometimes and I hate it
