Fun fact! Drugs (at least pot) make you think you’re more creative, but they don’t actually make you more creative! It turns out, being inebriated just makes you more easily impressed by things

Unfortunately scihub is dead, so I can’t link to any full research papers, but here’s my source

I for one like the new hyperrealistic logo phase. The surrealism phase that comes after is hit or miss

Imagine someone reading this in 50 years like “holy shit this starman guy absolutely called it”

People don’t choose to be whatever gender they are, but they do choose whether to use hexbear or not

Charisma, particularly (but not necessarily) with regard to the opposite sex

As usual, the best dictionary has an entry on it! It isn’t exactly the same as my definition, but I’m not some prescriptivist who’s gonna say it’s wrong

I add words to my online vocabulary first, and when I’m comfortable slipping shit like bet and yeet and based into my comments I start slipping them into my real vocab

Die mad prescriptivist

“Why do these men insist upon using ‘bully’ as an alternative to ‘ruffian?’ ‘Bully’ already has a meaning! They’re a prostitute’s bodyguard! I say, the English language surely is dying here in the late 19th century!”

By far and away calling my friend’s mom retarded when I was a stupid little kid. He was on speaker. If I could pinpoint the exact moment where my life started going off-track, it was then and there. But boy was I upset that his mom wouldn’t let him play guild wars.

I’m sure she’s forgotten it, and he probably has too, but the moment replays in my head at least once a month.

At least it was a learning experience. Now I never say anything about anyone that I’m not willing to say to their face.

workout regularly. Then you can act like it’s cause the gains instead of getting old.

I know it’s “because” and not a misspelling of “causing,” but I’m delighted by the idea of someone working out and getting ripped, who secretly thinks it’s the act of aging that’s making him strong, and that working out is just a placebo

A, by a goddamn long shot. If google mistakenly thinks I’ve advocated for a crime against a massive corporation, they’ll remove my account and ban me from their services. If the government mistakenly thinks I’ve advocated for a crime against a massive corporation, they’ll arrest me and ruin my life. Microsoft doesn’t give a shit if you acquired the 1s and 0s that comprise a popular TV show without paying for them. The government will fine you more than the average person will make in their entire life.

It also depends on where you live. Facebook doesn’t care if you’re gay or trans, if anything that’s valuable monetizable data about you. Iran will straight up fucking kill you.

The secret is that meat on its own is garbage. Instead of using plants to make meat taste good (teriyaki, buffalo sauce, nearly a dozen herbs and spices, etc.), you can just use those plants to make plants taste good

90% of “vegetarian versions” of dishes are just the dish without meat. 9% of the remainder are the dish with black beans and/or mushrooms

The question mark denotes confusion or flabbergastedness. Nutella contains milk, so it’s explicitly not vegan

My favorite conspiracy theory is that Basque is the only real language, and that every other language on earth was made up by Benedictine monks to prop up the story of the Tower of Babel

Reddit’s /u/odin_the_wanderer described it as “the Timecube of linguistics,” and I think that’s a fantastic description of the unhinged ramblings I’ve just linked

It me! I wish I could find a way to shut my id the hell up and take control of my body back from it. Feels like it’s holding me hostage sometimes. Here I am on Lemmy instead of getting anything done because my subconscious instinct to fuck off is more powerful than my conscious desire to get work done
