My "this isn't complicated" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions that are already answered by my shirt.

The best humor punches. This is because the best humor is mutual combat.

Scientific fraud is the most baffling thing ever to me like do they think they're just going to make a huge breakthrough and no one will notice that it's fake by trying to replicate their results

Some of you are cool and deserve to be let inside the secret group chat.

People will be like, "I'm a polymath," and then not even be good at one thing.

People say things like "I've destroyed my sleep schedule." But I am one step ahead of those people, because having a sleep schedule is required before you can destroy your sleep schedule.

Bart Simpson writing on the chalkboard: "I will not waste CPU cycles. I will not waste CPU cycles. I will not waste

Just read about the port strike attempt. Yeah, why not simply automate the ports? Bring in the robots.

I had to exit via one of those "Emergency exit only — alarm will sound" doors (boring story; won't relay), and there was no alarm! What else are THEY lying to us about?

The information chooses the necromancer. That's why all of those forbidden texts have a way of finding me.

So much clowning on influencers but the real cancer is life coaches talking about law of attraction or whatever yuppie bullshit 'philosophies'. Hang them by their testicles etc

It's a shame you can't just keep taking gray market stimulants like caffeine and eventually achieve infinite energy.

When you switch on a lightbulb, your eyes perceive photons, and some neurons in your brain activate. If you switch off the light, then so-called ‘off’ neurons activate. You don’t actually “stop seeing” when you’re in the dark. No; the mind physically represents nothingness in a pattern of neurons.

The phrase “nothing exists” is not a self-contradicting statement but a statement of fact. Nothing exists.

If we think hard and cooperate with one another, we can make Slytherin great again, but only if we try really, really hard.

This was unnecessary when I was doing work way in the internal plumbing nobody would ever see, but when I was at a conference telling real people "hey, you should use this", it became an issue.

The concept of antisocial behavior is strange. Are you telling me that you're spending the energy you have now in ways that destroy your opportunities to give or receive energy in the future? This seems like a losing strategy.

If you're so smart, why aren't you prosocial? Why haven't you realized that connection is the best part of life? And missing out on it is like missing the whole vibe.

If you can read this post, you have voided your mind's warranty.

it’s interesting how many people have knee jerk scorn towards Ozempic and think it’s almost foregone conclusion to be a Faustian bargain that will cause massive long term health problems in exchange for “cheating to lose weight”. as if suffering and struggling to lose weight is just punishment for being a fatty (smells Protestant). the thing is, this doesn’t even bear out in reality either because glp-1 drugs have the knock-on effect of improving health outcomes across the board for almost everything. tho good litmus test for sussing out the type of guy who tells themselves just-so stories

instead of writing about the stuff that makes you angry, why not write about the stuff that makes you full of the childlike wonder you get when you've like, discovered a new layer of reality after midnight

Tired: you've already won half the battle Wired: you've already drawn half the owl

If you're aware of an annoying pattern you keep doing, you've already won half the battle.
