  • What would happen to a single human if they were put into the jet of a quasar?

  • I'm as fascinated by those shuttle comparisons as anything else!

    On the face of it, I wouldn't have guessed that the space shuttle's power output was measured in gigawatts, nor that the space shuttle's output is on the same scale as an entire country's steam power output (in 1896, sure... but still!)

  • While you're not wrong, you're also massively over-analyzing and "WELL AKSHULLY"ing what appears to be a silly one-liner, not a serious attempted dunk on the article.

  • White House mocked after admitting they 'sent letters' to remind countries about trade deal deadlines: 'We resorted to begging now?'

    Jump

  • So now we're sending out reminders like a high school history teacher reminding students that the history report is due tomorrow.

    I was thinking it's more like a reminder that your car's warranty is about to expire, so hurry up and purchase that extended warranty!

  • This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!

    Jump

  • I've been moved out for 25 years 😂

    I just hoped that my family would take advantage of me offering up my server for them to stream from.

  • This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!

    Jump

  • Same here. I initially had high hopes that my family would take advantage, but apparently my parents would rather bug my siblings monthly for their Hulu/Netflix/Max/Disney+/Prime logins than install Plex or Jellyfin lol.

    Jump

  • Honestly, I get it. If you have a relatively small stash of media, say a couple TB worth, you can pretty easily say "well I watched this movie, so I'll delete it and make room for the next. When you get into the 10's of TB range, the mindset has switched from it being a dynamic, temporary library to a repository. And it becomes easier just to plug in another 10-20TB drive occasionally, rather than trying to curate thousands of movies and shows.

    I can see both sides though. There's certainly something to be said for being deliberate about the media you consume--and therefore only needing enough storage for your immediate viewing plans. I'm not quite into the 100TB range with my library, but I definitely have moments where I feel like having so many options makes any given option seem less appealing.

  • Do you ever have dreams that seem "normal" or make sense to you when you wake up?

    Jump

  • One thing I've noticed in discussing dreams with my wife is that experiencing the dream first-hand with all the context, emotions, and sense of having "been there" goes a long way toward making a dream feel more realistic or believable.

    There have been many times where I'm explaining a dream that felt (and still feel) totally plausible and coherent, but in trying to describe it to someone else, I realize just how unrealistic certain aspects are. Its like trying to explain the plot of an absurdist comedy or something like that.

    There's probably an allegory in there for individual perception and lived experiences vs objective reality,, but I'm not feeling quite articulate enough to type it out... 🙃

    Food service workers, what's the strangest kitchen request you ever saw someone order?

    Jump

  • I used to deliver for papa johns many moons ago. We had one guy who ordered the same thing every Saturday afternoon at about 4pm. I forget the exact details... it was something normal like a pepperoni & mushroom, but then add literally 5x extra anchovies on the entire thing. A typical large was about $12 in those days, and his pizza would be north of $25.

    I hated getting that run because my car would smell like fish oil into the next day, but the dude tipped well so it was cool.

  • Trump says he's not 'chickening out' on trade: 'It's called negotiation'

    Jump

  • You're not a man, you're a Chicken Boo!

    Holy hell, where was that memory hiding out?

  • What's the dumbest weed related thing that's happened to you or someone you know did?

    Jump

  • The dumbest thought I ever had while high was that I convinced myself I had two brains, and that one brain could predict the thoughts of the other brain before it thought them.

    That's hilarious! Honestly, I rather enjoy that sensation of temporarily being.... not stupid... but willing to uncritically entertain stupid ideas.

  • Which color power tool should I buy

    Jump

  • For me personally, I've gone mostly with Ryobi for "use around the house" cordless tools because I'm strictly a weekend warrior, and having a wide range of affordable tools on the same battery is more important than having the best/strongest.

    I do have a couple of Dewalt cordless tools (impact wrench, recip saw) where it's important to have a bit more reliable grunt.

    (I assume that's what you mean by color anyway)

  • It's been years since I've gone to church, but there used to be a lot of kneeling every sunday.

    I wonder if anyone has let them know how disrespectful it is to protest and bring politics into church. 🤔

    Edit: whoops, meant to reply to the guy above me...

  • It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System

    Jump

  • Problem is, by the time they've failed the test, the opportunity for them to learn the content is largely passed.

    The purpose of school is to educate and teach thinking skills. Tests are just a way to assess how effectively you and your students are achieving that goal. If something (in this case easy access to AI tools in the classroom) is disrupting that teaching/learning process, sure it's useful to detect that through testing, but I'd doesn't do anything really to solve the problem. Some fraction of kids are disciplined enough to recognize that skating by on classwork will lead to poor test results and possibly retaking classes, but generally those aren't the kids you need to worry about anyway.

  • Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026

    Jump

  • I also thought I'd miss Hulu and Netflix a lot more than I do. What used to irk me so badly was how utterly shit Netflix is when you just want to sit down and find something new to watch. Their front page would be list after list of things like "Hot New Comedies" "Best Independent Films of 2025", "Classic Action Flicks" and somehow it always felt like the same 30 or 40 movies randomly shuffled together. So I'd spend 15 minutes scrolling through the same slop in different orders, get frustrated and search for a movie that I remembered wanting to watch, only to find that it was on none of the services I was subscribed to, and cost $8.99 for a single watch of a 20 year old movie.

    We had been Netflix subscribers since the very start when they delivered discs through the mail. Kinda sad how they went from having virtually anything you could think of to watch (and having a halfway decent recommendation algorithm to boot!) to where they are today.

  • What home-cooked meal do you frequently make and still enjoy?

    Jump

  • It sounds super obvious, but i never thought to cook hasbrowns in the bacon grease... Mostly because I'm fully converted to making bacon in the oven these days.

    Definitely going to give this a whirl next time we're doing breakfast.

  • Marshmallow Test

    Jump

  • I didn't get it til another poster pointed it out -- instead of the kid eating the marshmallow, the marshmallow is biting the kid's arm.

    I glanced over the comic a couple times, and each time I saw the kid tossing the marshmallow in the air as if to catch it in his mouth.
