Toilet full of bugs

I think I'm crepuscular. When left to my own devices I like to have a nap through the middle of the day and another through the middle of the night.

Why don't the AI techbros have the AI write a solution to the data centre water usage?

🕳️ Hole. What's in there?

🕳️🫲🏻 Going to reach in the hole.

🕳️🫳🏻🥚Gotter egg.

🥚What's in the egg?

Thinking of playing Animal Crossing New Horizons again now there's an update on the way. I can't really be arsed with my current island any more and I can't really be arsed to start again either.

Olympic Park velodrome reflects 'fireworks as farts' Clips of the phenomenon have gone viral on social media after it was shared to TikTok.

[Grump!]

1. My artemisia's vanished. Weird, because it's not a desirable plant to steal. (It's a weed. I let it be because the blackfly were eating it and therefore not eating my weigela.) Did some cunter pull it up thinking they were being helpful?
2. Fell in the mud on my way home. Landed on […]

Feeling grumpy about that study that supposedly proves your brain is still 'developing' until age 25, and how every idiot took that to mean 'everyone under 25 is a baby with no agency'.
The study didn't show that the brain develops until age 25, in the same way that the Mayans didn't think the […]

Wow, this campaign website against Google's plan to kick out XSLT is a thing of beauty.

I saw a crop of this Rothko painting that was just the green bit, and I thought 'wow, a Rothko I don't hate'. Then I noticed it said 'detail' so I looked up the full painting and bleurrrghh https://www.artchive.com/artwork/earth-green-mark-rothko-1955/

The green bit by itself is gorgeous. He […]

Are there any recreational drugs that come from animals? Cannabis and cocaine come from plants, LSD is synthetic, etc. Is there a hamster or something you can eat to get high?

Someone on Twitter drew nude fan-art of a couple of the human characters from Skibidi Toilet. It generated enough buzz (from people going 'Wait, what is Skibidi Toilet about, I thought it was just funy toilet man!') that it made the trending topics.

It would be funny if naked tity art trending […]

"Because the fanbase is global and highly engaged, there’s tremendous opportunity to grow Skibidi Toilet’s consumer products program on a worldwide scale across a broad range of categories that can tap into the storytelling and creativity of the brand." Another sentence that means absolutely […]

"Our team dove deep into the world of Skibidi Toilet – literally binge-watching episodes, analysing audience engagement and understanding the community that has formed around it." So how exactly did you fuck the donkey so hard? The spin-off series takes a fat dump on the established lore, to the […]

"The IP’s growth potential across apparel, accessories, home furnishing, collectibles and lifestyle categories was clear from day one." Not really?? Early Skibidi Toilet was clearly just a shitpost. Nobody was thinking 'I want home furnishings of this'. And what are 'lifestyle categories'?

"We are always drawn to brands that have authentic cultural impact – and Skibidi Toilet absolutely fits that mold. Its blend of sci-fi, dark humour and action has made it a pioneer of digital entertainment." What's 'authentic cultural impact'? What does it mean to be a 'pioneer of digital […]

"It came onto our radar when we realised its cultural footprint rivalled that of legacy franchises like Marvel and Harry Potter – yet it was completely decentralised and creator-led."
I adore Skibidi Toilet, but it objectively has nowhere near the cultural footprint of those franchises! And it's […]

"Invisible Narratives is a next-generation studio". Haa. Chinny reckon.

"[DFB] somehow tapped into the collective imagination of Gen Alpha." The main audience for Skibidi Toilet is Gen Z. I don't think Gen Alpha represents anywhere as big a proportion of the fanbase as Invisible Narratives […]

Here's an interview from a few days ago with Adam Goodman (Invisible Narratives) and Lisa Streff (Global Merchandising Services) […]

The first episode of Emergence (Invis's crappy Skibidi Toilet spinoff) allegedly cost $100k to make. Where did that money go? It certainly wasn't on animators' wages, because it's dogshit. And it wasn't on paying the Sketchfab creators for use of their models. Guess it went up Adam Goodman's […]

What's weird is that Invisible Narratives used to be pleasantly hands-off. They were simply the publishers for the official merch, and that was it; they didn't touch DFB's (the original creator's) channel. I could only assume they'd acquired shareholders who demanded infinite growth.

Turns out […]

Oh man. Invisible Narratives are really fucking this donkey. It turns out they used free fan-made models from Sketchfab for their animations. Cheapskates!

Ibio (one of the Skibidi Toilet fan-series creators) posted his contract with Invis and it doesn't make them seem a pleasant company to deal […]

Meme photo. In a drab soulless office setting with depressing fluorescent lighting and depressing brown industrial carpet, a person in a Hello Kitty costume - an enormous white cat head with a pink bow on one ear and a pink sparkly dress - wields a sledgehammer at an open laptop on the floor at their feet.

Good morning

I'm in a Dicksword server with a 'status report' channel where you post your various health ailments, but pretend you're a robot. It's well funny.

E.g.
"Underclocking causing CPU degradation (bored as arseholes)"
"Cosmetic frame damage (cut me toenail too short)"

This has to be a planned rug-pull. https://courtyard.io/about

You give this company your trading cards or collectibles or whatever to physically keep in their vault, and you get a digital token confirming you own the item. Presumably if they go bankrupt they're not going to take the time to […]

Anthro sheep pondering whether to go on testosterone: "I must consider the ramifications."

Looking at my hit counts on AO3. Turns out you get more views in a shorter time with furry porn than you do with stories about people shitting themselves or getting their balls eaten by a lizard.

My beautiful daughter Suspected Spam has such a hard time calling to arrange job interviews.

And I don't think realise how vital DFB is/was to Skibidi Toilet's success. It's popular because DFB is a genuinely good storyteller, in _addition_ to the stuffgobang and funy toilet. The stuffgobang and ha ha funy toilet is not enough by itself.

I think Invisible Narratives barely even knew that Skibidi Toilet has adult fans. I think they saw it only as a way to sell toys to kids, and have been taken aback by the drop in views and angry reactions.

I'm reminded of all the Undertale slop ripoffs made by devs who thought Undertale was […]
