Fireflies?

I wonder if it's an Apple-II like weird NTSC CRT hack thing that the emulator clearly had no hope in replicating

Robot approaches you wielding a hot steam iron.

Hello Jim, your pants are crinkled...

Yeah, looks like the image has been forced into the CGA palette when that wasn't intended

Yes, just as every adult really contains a bunch of 8 year olds fighting for the controls, cats are full of kittens

This is incredible

Nice. I've just started playing with the sdk myself - are the dither patterns just blitted in from bitmaps?

Don't fancy the room that's made entirely of radioactive source

Are they counting incoming traffic from people clicking your posts?

Reddit post on r/technology about young people and AI: "I recently heard about a teacher who instead of trying to circumvent students using AI, which is impossible, she made assignments by going "ask ChatGPT to write a report on this subject, and then research how and why it's wrong". Not only did the students discover that ChatGPT is extremely wrong a lot of the time, it also lead them to realise that they should not use it as a primary source".

This is one of the best ideas I've heard in ages.

Not sure if Howl's Moving Castle counts, but the original book has a whole detour where Howell goes back and briefly visits friends and family in his native Wales.

Now deep fry it and eat it in a bun

The credit card validation is no better, considering all it seems to check is whether you're typing in the number from a valid card, not that it's *your card*.

A packet of M&S Percy Pig "reversy percy" sweets in a shop. The packet shows a pig covering its eyes in embarrassment, and one of the pig sweets in the packet appears to be mooning the viewer. Quite disgraceful.

Deeply disturbing products on sale on the high street nowadays. I, for one, will be right on the phone to her magesty the king's royal bank to demand they sever misters Marks and Sparks' privileges (financial and otherwise) pronto.

Sounds like charity auction material

Spotify does the same - my wife's recommendation playlists often have random stuff from weird genres she doesn't listen to, because the song features some random collaborator who's called themselves "Queen" or "Ash" or "Moby"

At an airport I once saw a bunch of transcendentalists boarding a flight they’d chartered. At least I assumed they were transcendentalists because they were on a hire plane thank you please enjoy the weekend ahead.

Bold black text on a white background reads: CENTURY GOTHIC™️ (In century gothic)

There's also the step where if it realises you've asked more than once, at some point in the future it'll send you a flurry of codes all at once. None of these will work in actually logging in.

I used the credit card option, as I figure I've already given Stripe my credit card information plenty of times in the past, so it's not like that's exposing anything new in case of future leaks.

The credit card check literally just checks you've entered a valid credit card that it can pre-authorise 5p to. Nowhere do you have to prove that it's your own card. The odds of a horny teen being able to find a unguarded credit card somewhere in the house? I can't imagine such a thing!

This is weirdly hypnotic - looks like someone keeps following and unfollowing

A newt on a footpath. And my finger, look, it's a newt.

I always worry there's a fine line between "comments variants of 'wow, love this' on all of an artists pictures" and "creepy reply guy", so tend to just stick with the like :-\
