He/Him Jack of all trades, master of none

  • Begone, World-Eater! By words with older bones than your own, we break your perch on this age, and send you out!

  • ANYTHING on the planet? A clump of Bigfoot hair, a Zodiac Killer's leg, and a shot of DB Cooper's blood. Let's solve some fuckin mysteries

    Edit: I'll also take a side of whatever killed those campers at Dyatlov Pass, a copy of the holy text of the correct religion, and a camera that captured real footage of an alien

  • Half an hour is plenty long enough to zom out on some brains, then get strapped into the chair. Even then, they can just set the timer for more time if they need it. If the power goes out, then good news! You get another serving of someone else's brains tomorrow

  • The executioner plugs the electric chair into a timed wall outlet. In 30 minutes, you will die. You do get revenge on the executioner first though, so that's cool

  • Now to be totally fair, 325 is 325 more than 0, which would be the ideal number of 3d printed guns used in crime... But also, how many of those 3d printed gun users had access to a different gun and simply opted for the 3d printed one? I get the feeling it was somewhere around 325 of them

    This is all ignoring the fact that I'm using a very liberal definition of the phrase "3d printed gun." I doubt anyone is using Songbirds for armed robberies lmao

  • They'll ask chatgpt to generate it. It doesn't need to be viable, it just needs to be impossible for manufacturers to comply with

  • Everytown for Gun Safety says recoveries of 3D-printed crime guns across 20 cities have risen nearly 1,000% over the past five years,

    So... They found a total of ten 3d printed guns in the last 5 years?

  • I would love to see a politician try to fire a gun printed like that. Genuinely, it would be fun to see it explode in their hands

  • Me when I walk 30 feet to the east and buy a gun under the table with no paperwork for less than the cost of a 3d printer

  • But it CAN force your printer not to print that replacement hot glue gun trigger. After all, there's nothing in the law that says that this software has to allow non-gun related 3D printing. The simplest way to be in compliance with this law is to simply prevent all print jobs

  • AI cannot be made to recognize whether a piece of gcode is intended to produce a piece of plastic that is intended to be used as part of a gun. It would need to simulate the machine that that gcode is made to run on, and then simulate the gcode running on that machine, and then analyze the simulated output of that simulated 3D print.

    At best, it can arbitrarily decide to decline print jobs. Which is of course the whole point, because anyone with a printer would need to bypass this filter, and bypassing this filter would be against the law.

  • They would require printers to scan for anything that could potentially hold or manipulate gun parts.

    It's worth explicitly noting that this effectively bans 3D printing entirely. The whole point of this law is to be able to charge owners of 3D printers with a crime. Real useful if they find out some anti-zionist protestor has a 3d printer in their garage. Can't get ya on the free speech thing, but they can get you on the owning a non-compliant 3d printer thing.

    For the rightoids out there, replace anti-zionist protest with anti-abortion protest. Or any other speech the government doesn't like. This exists for the sole purpose of punishing innocent people.

  • Fixed it

  • I wanted to make a joke about how the American brain simply lacks the part that enables manual locomotion, but our cities straight up do not allow for it. If I cycled to work, it would take me an hour to get there and an hour to get home. I'd love to live within cycling distance of work, but I don't make enough money to rent in that area, let alone buy

    Our cities are deeply unwell, and I don't think it's possible to fix them

  • Fair point tbh, all medical treatment should be funded with taxes

  • Fuck the blind lmfao
