Saw this on Facebook market and it has so much creepy pasta energy. The angle of the head. The corner of the bedroom. Perfect.

Everyone knows Trump is sharing weird AI slop to get a reaction right? We’re his lolcow. Don’t give them the attention.

Unknown Bald Man is a terrific band name.

So is paracetamol not a commonly taken med in the US or something? Here it’s like the go to pain killer. Like even the NHS says it’s the one pregnant people should take. Also there’s nothing wrong with autism??? I know it’s said a lot, but Trump really is a dumbfuck.

They’re great mics! I used one when I first began youtube and still use it when I’m not at my usual desk. I think it’s made fun of mainly by people who really know their audio and can hear the difference. The average person however really isn’t going to pick up on it though

Okay so rocket might be a dumb name for a plant but arugula sounds like something Nixon would say in his sleep.

Super late reply but where did you find these? Did you just have them to hand? Extra points if you scoured YouTube for W&G comments.

r/wallaceandgromit might just be my favourite subreddit. Just wholesome content from people sharing something they are super passionate about.

@sean8urson.bsky.social @krisdobbinsart.bsky.social I’m making my way through the entire @sonicpod.bsky.social and you predicted the year of shadow spot on in the Sonic Movie 3 predictions episode. Holy hell that’s impressive. Loving the show!

Well the BBC won the headline of the day today.

Like I think the DVDs only went up to season 4 or something here. It’s been widely inaccessible in the UK for decades.

Oh shit. Along with the new season ALL of King of the Hill is on UK Disney Plus. Legitimately think this is the first time the show has been streamable in the UK. Been waiting literally a over a decade to watch it all again.

So happy we FINALLY have another game in the weird-daddy-daughter-relationship genre. It’s been awhile.

This is half joke, but seriously, we need to do something about this.

Terrific! Just in time for young people to be brainwashed online by the far-right.

Reading movie plot synopsises on Wikipedia is my favourite streaming service.

People who use their grandparents as content freak me out. Do they have plans for when they die? There was an article a while back about pet influencers cloning their pets, is that their plan?

I should probably use Bluesky to actually promote my stuff. So excited to announce I have a new book coming out soon! It’s all about the migration’s languages have taken across our planet and I think it’s pretty neat. Here’s the US Amazon preorder link. amzn.eu/d/ggEQx61

Have you played the Uncharted games? I feel like they really tick these boxes.

Legitimately. That previous post wasn’t a dig by any means. Genuinely looks exhausting.

Being an actual influencer looks exhausting. All the smiling and well lit photos and documenting so much of your life. Genuinely hats off to them, but I’m so happy I get to just be a horrible little grub behind a computer.

HOMEWORK MACHINE

The Homework Machine, oh the Homework Machine
Most perfect contraption that's ever been seen. 
Just put in your homework, then drop in a dime,
Snap on the switch, and in ten seconds' time,
Your homework comes out, quick and clean as can be.
Here it is β€” "nine plus four?" and the answer is "three."
Three?
Oh me ...
I guess it's not as perfect
As I thought it would be.
