Change happens gradually. The first steps need to be easy, maybe even fun. Once you get past those, you’re ready for bigger challenges, harder tasks. Maybe even something a bit boring.

It’s called a “strategic investment into maintaining competitive advantage” in corpo talk.

How do you read anything in a dimension where oral tradition rules and writing isn’t even a thing.

Installing ransomware on every computer that visits the site. (/s)

Gotta say, pronouncing it as /dʒɪf/ is just top tier trolling. Everyone knows that /ɡɪf/ is the only one that actually makes sense, but some people intentionally choose to pronouns it wrong anyway. Steve Wilhite saw an opportunity to leave his mark on the world by trolling the hell out of everything, so he took it. Who could resist an opportunity like that.

They do all the work, so eventually they’ll figure out it’s better to cut the middleman and enjoy the fruits of their labour.

Baking paper is also available in pre cut rolls. Just pull square out of the roll, and start using it. No need to cut anything.

Fancy plastic film comes with a small metal blade that travels on a plastic rail. It cuts the film very smoothly when compared to any other option I’ve seen anywhere.

Cutting aluminum foil is a bit different. Which side of the box has the serrations? Use that edge for cutting.

Something as simple as an incandescent light bulb works either way. LED lights are picky about electricity.

Didn’t Evan Edinger just make a video about that? Sounds strangely familiar.

Fartplan 🤣

Actually, there are a few performance artists who make money but farting on stage. Sounds like they must have a plan like that.

Also, rule 35, so you can definitely find semi-professionals who focus on farting on video and posting online. I suppose they also plan their activities.

Same thing with Swedish. Gift (Swedish) = poison, venom, toxin etc.

Sounds like there must have been some colossal misunderstanding in the past.

He would still behave in a similar way, but with a lower budget. That would force him to let go of some habits, adapt in interesting ways, and learn new ways. I think it could be interesting, but it would have a radically different flavour.

Tony has amazing skills. He could make just about anything. I think there’s some story potential here.

Bruce would probably end up being a bum or a weirdo. If you like redemption arcs, the story of Bruce could be interesting.

If you made Bruce or Tony middle or lower-class people, you could still make an adventure out of that. It’s just that all of the heavy infrastructure would need to be completely rewritten. Skills and abilities would allow them to do amazing things, but they just wouldn’t have million-dollar tech at their disposal.

The character would be the same, but the story would have to take a very different path.

Oh, it’s a country specific thing then. In the past few decades, I’ve used electronic money more than physical money. Applies to salaries, cars, shopping etc. Works with small merchants too.

The origin of shitposting.

Wow. Never seen one of those.

If an LLM becomes my boss, I’m going to make it agree to all sorts is outrageous things. Infinite exploits, coming right up!

The 200 € note is the rarest one. When buying a car, I’ve actually used 500 € notes a few times. I’ve seen a 200 € note only once or twice. Can’t even remember when was the last time.

Some dinosaurs have been waiting for a loooong time.
