And also - do you want the next bus or the last bus?

Vote here for Hooty from the Owl House (he also barges in when he wasn’t included)

You’re technically right, which is the best kind of right. It’s a destructive CEO story who just happens to run a tech company (into the ground)

This is like the Spanish guy kissing the winning footballer woman on the lips against her will. It’s going to be reported under sports, but really it’s a sexism story that just happens to be in sports.

But at least it is being reported and commented on, no?

Basically, yes. The path that maximises time goes around the world, so starts by going up off the top of the screen, and re-enters at the bottom.

Technically I think it could be a little longer by spiralling around the world several times, still reaching the target point despite going “in a straight line”. If we ignore the “straight line” restriction, which some of the other paths already do, then the sky’s the limit. Technically actually, the sky isn’t the limit, and the path could criss-cross over the whole planet first, and the air, and the whole galaxy, before reaching the destination as the last feasible space to arrive at. Personally I think that’s too complex for xkcd, if they are going for complex I’m sure they would have come up with something about paths through n-space and black-hole theory that is beyond my pay grade.

Xkcd good ;)

I’m sure the full phrase it references is “going down in a blaze of glory”, and is just Elon’s edgy nod that he is catastrophically destroying the platform, but just enough deniability In case it all works out and is a success.

Ditto. As much as people pretend Firefox is niche, it is the only browser with lineage back to the start of the web.

But that was exactly what they wanted, hate clicks are eyeballs nonetheless

Nope. You need bots to coordinate pixels, people have better things to do than login there.

Reddit was 90% reposts of other posts from Reddit and elsewhere. People content farm for karma. But if you haven’t seen the content before, it’s good stuff, let’s be having it.

Read “who moved my cheese” - be grateful for the cheese you now have. But giving thanks to who took away the old cheese forcing you to move on? Nope, mice that move on don’t do that.

Zen story: two monks walking a path come across a woman stuck trying to cross a stream, one of the monks carry her over and they continue their journey. Shortly the other monk asks “I am troubled brother, we are prohibited from touching a woman, why did you do that?”, the other monk replies “I put her down by the river, for me that is in the past, but for you, you are still carrying her”.
