I know a couple of Yoshi’s (Japanese) and the first time I met a German Joshi (pronounced “Yoshi”), I thought he had a Japanese name for some reason until I realised it’s short for Joshua. Also, I thought Naomi was an exclusively Japanese name, today I learned, thanks!

You’re not wrong, but now that I’ve read this article I’m pretty sure I can feel the microplastics inflaming my brain.

Well that’s absolutely horrifying.

Holy shit. That one lady was just walking around the New York subway and her eye implant went dark. That’s wild. Imagine if that happened to a wheelchair user, or someone with a prosthetic leg. Or an artificial internal organ! The company just shuts down and so do your body parts? Truly terrifying.

My partner is one of these. I have photos of him sleeping on planes, trains, boats and cars. He can be worried about something, or stressed about tomorrow, and still fall asleep within 5 minutes of laying down. I am so jealous.

He survived the mine collapse!

I had already clicked out of this thread when I spied your comment and came back in! Your experience is a lifetime dream of mine. Poo-tee-weet?

You’re right. The ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) cycle can take up to 7 years, but that’s the entire cycle (El Niño, La Niña, and neutral). El Niño conditions may only last months. La Niña typically lasts longer.
This year, they expect El Niño conditions to continue at least til the end of the year.
Also, this past La Niña was unusually long, about three years long. I’m not sure what that signifies but it seems like it might be important.

Fucking Ark. I have a major love-hate relationship with that game.
This review visualizes it well.

It was Christmas 2006 and I had an old iPod Mini that I was trying to put some more music onto. Something went wrong though and somehow all of the music, photos and videos had on the device was deleted. The only thing left was a single song, James Brown’s “I Feel Good”.

It didn’t make any sense how I could have accidentally deleted everything EXCEPT for one song, like you’d think either nothing would be wrong, or everything would be deleted. Why just one song?

Later that day we turned on the news and found out James Brown had died that day.

I know it was just a coincidence…And it’s such a small, inconsequential thing…but I still think about it sometimes.

This isn’t even the scene from that quote but I still couldn’t resist making it my profile pic!

I hate the people who love me, and they hate me.

Some of them are. I visited a couple subs that went dark yesterday, and they had popup messages with fediverse lnks.

It just won’t stay dead!

As if I don’t futurama-sleep every night…

Shut up, Terry.
