  • To people outside the UK : Do you recognise this man?

    Jump

  • He had a song called Millennium which was about the millennium. I don’t think I have heard anything about him since.

  • Racism ain't fun😭

    Jump

  • I have to assume this meme is talking about Bollywood, exclusively. Kollywood — for example — is full of Tamil-looking Tamils. Not to say racism in India doesn’t exist; there is a strange pride and passion about it.

  • I still can’t determine its speed or direction.

  • TIL Canada is the first country to issue glow in the dark coins for regular circulation

    Jump

  • I have so many of these. I mentioned to my boyfriend at the time that I thought they were neat. He swapped out every toonie in the till like this and gave them to me for months while they were in circulation.

    I have been giving them out as souvenirs when I visit other countries, but maybe I should actually count how many I have and retire early.

  • Bring back the cold, please.

  • My name is Sam McGee.

  • “I’m so sorry for your loss… of your vehicle because your parking expired and your car was towed”.

  • If this is actually from the real author and not some rage bait meme, this is a surprisingly whiplashing take. I stand in solidly with the second panel.

  • xkcd #3246: Speedrun

  • Daaaaa-AAAAaaad.

  • Use THIS When You Plug In

    Jump

  • That’s why you plug your power bank into the charger and plug your phone into the power bank.

  • What commonly given advice is actually wrong or toxic?

    Jump

  • “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”. Your silence in the face of injustice is what enables abuse.

  • How do you do fellow children?

    Jump

  • Don't pay for AI, frame your questions like you want Maccas.

    Jump

  • The Amazon Q&A bot also responds this way (or at least it did last I checked).

  • What tv show has the best theme song?

    Jump

  • Didn’t see Golden Girls mentioned yet so I will nominate that one.

  • The Majel Barrett computer might be into it, though

    Jump

  • Or the person wearing a thin jacket in -20C

    Jump

  • I am from around so I can’t say definitively what is Canadian about that. I meant “shat” as in the past tense of shit and a word that sounds like shattered, like the bad robot in Terminator 2 when he froze. Never the best joke if it needs explaining; I was just being a bit silly.

  • Or the person wearing a thin jacket in -20C

    Jump

  • I am from Winnipeg. Natural selection has made us immune down to -40.

    Edit: but then we just shatter. My tombstone will say “Jim shat himself to death” and there will be a statue of me wearing shorts.

  • Mamdani to kill the NYC AI chatbot caught telling businesses to break the law— New York mayor says terminating the ‘unusable’ bot will help close a budget gap

    Jump

  • Now that you mention it, there was that story about Air Canada’s chatbot misleading a customer which ended up costing them $800. 😔

    Edit: I know, legal fees and such, but there didn’t appear to be any punitive component nor incentive to change course.

    TIL Ecuador doesn't have its own currency and uses US dollars, but maybe not the same US dollars you are used to seeing.
