Again, this is not the original, but I seem to recall seeing it in the late 90s.

And this was definitely 90s.

Oops. Yup, utter failed to put Bs! Put it down to not having had enough coffee today!

Thanos’ plan was unmitigated garbage anyway.

Humanity reached 4B in 1975 and hit 8B in 2022. On that basis, if half of humanity died when Thanos snapped his fingers 50 years later we’d be back to 8B people again.

Mayonnaise.

Look to get out of their way, move over, pull over, whatever, and try to let them past.

I like to imagine that anyone who is tailgaiting me is a bomb-defusal tech on their way to defuse a bomb at an orphanage for blind children. Then I get out of their way and wish them god speed to their vital mission! “Go save those blind orphans, you goddam hero!”

I’m Scottish and don’t know what the fuck % I am.

I’m guessing 67% German, 22% American at this point.

I also understand the sentiment that the internet is effectively a US invention dating back at least to ARPAnet.

Yeah, but this is a website. Sir Tim Berners-Lee represent!

Plus also, English is an English invention.

But otherwise, you’re good.

lingua franca

I love that the real lingua franca, a term from both Latin and Greek roots, literally meaning the language of the Franks (French) is English. Plus, also, fuck you Esperanto!

Heavily inspired by the Sumerian cuneiform but yes

To be fair, we call everyone Cuntface down here.

More like Faceberk, amirite?

Oh. I’m shit out of luck then.

That’s the first hour. Yes.

Certainly a special entry in the yearbook!

Nah, they go in any order and then you just kind of… rootle around in there.

Strike hard, strike first, show no mercy!

I keep my keys in my prison pocket. Along with my phone. And my wallet. And my EDC pocket knife. And a Leatherman. And a Moleskin and a couple of pens. And a tactical flashlight. And a small first aid kit.

I do walk a bit funny though.

Whoever has been left as its leadership is a dumbass.

Not in the slightest. More likely their annual bonus depends on boosting revenue right now. So they’re incentivised to generate short term increases in revenue but not for longer term. Plus, also, if/when Youtube goes tits up they’ll just get a different CEOing job (with “increased revenue by 25% in 2024 on their resume”) rinse and repeat.

Kind of my point. We gained ecommerce, streaming services, platforms such as this one, online gaming, mapping services, and others - at the cost of the freedoms for which people are nostalgic. And now we have ads, personalization, tracking, and inevitable enshitification.
