@lain You can see why they're called killers.

@lain I still sell them, and did a promo thing last June, but it didn't cause a big enough sales bump to be worth making a special fuss again this year. https://northcoastsynthesis.com/news/ribbon-cable-experience/

@lain DEVELOP UP TO 38″ BICEPS
GROW UP TO 12″ TALLER
LOSE UP TO 40″ OF FAT IN YOUR FIRST WORK-OUT!
PROLONG YOUR LIFE BY UP TO 1,000 YEARS
GO TO BED WITH UP TO ANY LUDICROUS NUMBER OF GIRLS YOU CARE TO THINK OF PROVIDING YOU REALIZE THIS STATEMENT IS QUITE MEANINGLESS AS THE PHRASE “UP TO” CLEARLY INCLUDES THE NUMBER “NOUGHT”.

@lain I've seen that movie! Cautionary tale against having overly rigid succession rules for leadership positions.

@lain Darn those humans and their fire! Oh wait...

@lain I'm seeing an hilarious variation on "Mint The Coin" here. https://mintthecoin.org/

@lain Oh, man. I used to go pretty often for Saturday brunch with a group I was part of. And I'd often order the stakened eggs, and they weren't great but they were a good price and I knew what to expect and if I didn't want that I'd order something else, right? But my friend would order the stakened eggs and be dissatisfied and send the plate back. Repeatedly. I don't know what he wanted, but after the third or fourth time I'd think he would have learned that he wasn't going to get it.

@oshy

@lain Holey cow!

@lain A teenager in South Carolina with more than 35,000 edits.

@lain Looks like it has a handy holder for his iphone, though, so at least he won't be unamused.

@lain He has a radio for a face? I think there was a whole band like that.

@lain Now he can plausibly deny that he made all the transactions on that wallet.

@lain It's dream productivity. Not real productivity.

@lain I didn't realize gay marriage was so common.

@lain I thought it was because of YouTube trying desperately to avoid becoming subject to Canadian media regulation originally intended for commercial radio and television stations that would *require* them to overrepresent Canadians. They want to say "See! There's plenty of Canadian content, we don't need to be forced to boost it!"

However, I thought they were only doing that for viewers actually in Canada. If you're somewhere else and seeing it too, then I don't know what to think.

@lain They call it "ultraprocessed," which perhaps is an adjective we should apply to other things too.

@lain Sometimes it nayo be like that, and sometimes it nayo.

@lain Do you read that frequently?

@oshy @lain @hakui Also important that some of them should be very general categories ("3. PS/2 games") and others should be extremely specific ("4. Dating simulators set at Fukuoka Shiritsu Sumiyoshi Junior High School").
