Isn’t it kinda crazy how crazy good computer translation has gotten? The fact that i can read entire threads written in another language and even talk to them is insane. And the fact that we have earphones that translate now?? They finally made the god damn babel fish.

I remember way back in the day a friend sent me “i like fruit” in Japanese and when I put it in a translator, it spit out a multiple sentence garbage pile. Now any translator can handle it. It’s so cool to see how much progress has been made

The black rifle coffee alpha male takes a sip from his thermos and looks out from the bunker to the battlefield, it’s hell out there. “Perfect” He thinks He adjusts the sights on his custom-built 16-inch 6mm ARC AR-15 with a Proof Research carbon-fiber barrel, JP Enterprises silent captured spring system, and a Geissele Super Dynamic Enhanced two-stage trigger. He picked it because the trigger felt smooth against his $350 carbon fiber combat gloves, and the alloy magazines were 20 grams lighter against his $2200 Kevlar vest. He mindlessly feels at his tactical pouch, he has a 10 year supply of testosterone cypionate in it, just in case the pharmacies get hit. He smirks, “Daddy needs his combat fuel.” He’s been on TRT for 7 years, his testes have cobwebs on them. He steps out of the bunker, he’s spent years training for this moment, doing weighted carries, getting “don’t tread on me” tattoos, bow hunting, having a beard. “It’s fuckin showtime.” He announces. Just then he feels something lightly tap his leg. He glances down. It’s a 17 dollar drone off temu. It has a decal on it. “Is that… hentai?” His legs are blown smooth off. 12 miles away in a disgusting room illuminated only by the degenerate glow of purple LED strip lighting, a 17 year old leans back in his cum stained gamer chair. He’s grown so frail and sickly his friends and family keep mistaking him for Asmongold. He grabs another 30mg vyvanse and washes it down with a cold chicken nugget. “GG faggot” He’s killed 500 men.

Chicago is great but its problems are obvious: it was built over soggy marshland and, to this day, ancient amphibians, pale salamanders the size of train cars and toads the size of houses, slumber in the soft mud beneath the water table. One day, those monsters will wake up.
Chicago is an excellent city. Why isn't this more well known?

Elon Musk flips a vehicle upside down and everyone claps and cheers. But when I do it, suddenly I'm "recklessly endangering children" and "unfit to be a school bus driver".

"Why does my boyfriend take such ugly pictures of me???" it's because he think you're beautiful just sitting there in pajamas rubbing something out of your eye, he doesn't know how to stage the photo to present you as hot to the world because it's all hot to him

Me: "Don't you dare" sounds perfectly normal but "do not you dare" sounds ridiculous which is insane because "don't" is a contraction for "do not." Doctor: I meant is anything bothering you physically

Nearly every phone and computer on Earth relies on one plain-text file to know what time it is. When a country changes its clocks with a few weeks’ notice, or Morocco pauses daylight saving for Ramadan, someone has to update that file. Since 02005, that someone has been Paul Eggert, a computer science professor at UCLA, who does it as a volunteer.  Take a look at this great data visualization to see the full story:  na2.hubs.ly/H08qtQC0

Yes, my husband leaves a lot of mugs upstairs, but if he brought them all down and we cleaned them, then they wouldn't all fit in the cupboard, and it's all part of a very delicately balanced dishes ecosystem

In Gears 5 we never could afford to pay for a directional moonlight given all the local shadow casting light sources at night taking all the GPU bandwidth. It was so liberating on E-Day to have hundreds of local shadow casters at night AND a super nice shadow casting moonlight.
As someone who writes software, the part of Gears of War: E-Day that broke my brain isn't the gore. It's the lighting. The Coalition and Epic pushed UE5's ray-traced MegaLights so far that thousands of shadow-casting lights run on a 2020 Xbox Series X. Plain old AMD RDNA 2. Best-looking game of this generation.

Deadlock’s new hero secretly recreates famous chess matches every time he reloads Solomon’s board cycles through historic positions spanning 170 years of chess, from the Immortal Game to Magnus Carlsen vs. Viswanathan Anand’s 2014 title match

Valve: ”Here’s a new character that uses chess pieces as ammo and everytime he reloads the chess board has 32 different variations that reference a historical chess game” Riot: ”You want another sexy woman with a 6-pack? No? Uuuh… okay champ with a dash reset final offer.”
We are reaching unprecedented levels of sauce
