I feel like fireflies have to be pretty perfectly whelming? like on the level of a swarm of pretty butterflies: cool, but not that cool.

yeah no i’m sorry but this just sounds completely fucking made up

don’t forget that lying on your resume is just… outright explicitly expected by everyone

i love the job market

I’d summarize the current OS situation as

Windows Just Works until it doesn’t, at which point there’s basically nothing you can do about it and you just have to kick it until something clicks into place and it starts working properly again.

Whereas linux Just Works to a slightly smaller degree, but when it stops Just Working it does so in granular steps most of the time, and every part of the ecosystem tries to help you fix things when they break.

Windows is a resin-potted black box that takes input and does stuff, if it breaks you’re supposed to just chuck it and buy a new one.
Linux is a slightly bulkier thing that you can just unscrew and replace a capacitor when it breaks.

part that, and part just that windows is successful because it’s successful. Everyone learns windows, thus everyone uses windows, thus everyone teaches windows.
It’s like how all life on earth produces and consumes a specific form of sugar, but when you make sugar in a lab you get both forms, and the second form is completely inert to all digestive systems on earth.

i can’t find the original so here it is from memory:

There are 3 types of bird names:

• Hotbreasted tushmilf
• Green Warbler
• Jacksons Great Magnificent Coolbird

i mean i’m not sure what definition you go by, to me the most sensible definition would be “a nutritious liquid produced by the parent to feed the child in its infancy”, for which there’s actually quite a few other classes that qualify. Many birds have crop milk which is exactly what it sounds like, and apparently some jumping spiders secrete milk from the same place as the eggs come out.

I suppose you could argue that milk must be modified sweat, but that feels very much like actively narrowing it down to only count mammals. It’s not like there’s anything inherent to how our milk is produced, all that matters is that it’s a nutritious liquid.

It’s probably part of it, but there’s definitely also other stuff like the fact that human breasts are always prominent, unlike most other animals where the sexual display stuff waxes and wanes with them being fertile.

The best hypothesis i’m aware of is that human sexuality is just really strange and kinda… slutty… (this applies to everyone). Like it seems that our default way of going about things before civilization fucked it up was to just kinda have fun with anyone who caught our fancy and reciprocated the feelings, so our dicks evolved to scoop out sperm and tits evolved to always be on display so no one can tell if you’re fertile or not, and presumably same thing with us having no mating season to speak of.

Just try to be attractive so as many people as possible will want to bang you, and maybe if you’re lucky you can even find someone who likes you enough that they actively avoid banging others, which is pretty damn sweet because you know that kid will be yours. But in the end it doesn’t really matter whose kid is whose, because everyone will help raise them.

not tiddy facts, but tiddy educated guesses and inferences:

penistone might be a good start

in swedish it’s basically that except we say “nursing animals”, which is more specific

as someone out of work in sweden my interaction with taxes consists of getting a mail that my taxes are ready, checking the document to see “income: 0, tax: 0”, and sagely nodding before going about my day like usual.

Like this is literally the tax document i get:

it is generally good to eat the things that your gut can digest

i mean all the other ones are food items, and it says vinegar, so presumably that’s the acid in question

meanwhile chad gut bacteria help us digest food and are actively vital to us being healthy
