~~Anyone~~ anything else
TIFTFY

Work is a fuck, but you gotta eat.
And the shared suffering builds camaraderie with your coworkers and some may develop into friends, which can provide meaning and excitement.

People who glorify hustle culture are fucked up. Don't listen to them.

I see you've employed the "I am rubber you are glue" tactic. Great job 👍

Yeah, I picked that username for a reason 😭

Kids (and even adults) back then didn't really know what was and wasn't possible for real-time computer graphics. Like back in the time of Warcraft 2 and shit especially. SC2 maybe less so.

What an absolutely braindead reply.

Mastodon had a bad experience for that person.
Blue sky didn't.
Their experience wasn't unique.
End of story.

You're doing mental gymnastics to misinterpret their argument. Nobody said they want centralized social media you absolute lemon. They want a user experience that doesn't suck. Right now, blue sky provides that while mastodon doesn't.

"Oh but bsky's federation doesn't solve Mastodon's problem" they don't have to solve Mastodon's problem.

Elitist neckbeards like you are the reason the fediverse isn't fun.

Toxic people can be blocked by your instance, or you can move to an instance that doesn't tolerate that behavior

Honestly it kinda reminds me of blizzard games back in the day.

Folks remember the StarCraft adverts and cutscenes? Not remotely like the game.

I wonder why we gave them a pass. Probably because the game was still fun, I guess

See this is part of the problem.

Dude was like "look at this objectively terrible experience I actually had"
And you are like "yeah well that could happen to bsky in theory too, so they're just as bad!"

I've been a mastodon user for almost 2 years, but I never use it because finding interesting people to subscribe to who are actually active is difficult.
I haven't been using bsky because I've really been hoping mastodon takes off, but whenever I hear about how easy it is to onboard and find interesting content, I think about switching.

That doesn't remove the toxic mod.

How many alts and sock puppets do you think the average person should have? This doesn't sound healthy

 

I can't stop listening to this.
I feel like I need to go play chess now. Idk if it's AI generated or not, but it's so catchy

 

I'm probably going to judge you if you say Holocene, without an interesting non-trivial reason.

Unholy union of ai memes

 

I remember everyone calling her androgynous at the time. Looking back, that was an absolutely wild thing for people to think.

 

What a sweet deal! Thanks Hello Fresh!

Theme

Create a new sport that you think should be added to the next (or some future) Olympic games.

I've heard that the Olympics are currently happening, so I figured why not celebrate this by telling the Olympic committee how dumb they are for passing over your new idea for an Olympic sport!

I've been trying to find this video for a while with no luck, and idk what other community to ask.

The video features this yellow dancing CG blob alien thing, and the lyrics go something like:

We made AI to do the dumb stuff, so we could do the fun stuff
But now it does the fun stuff, and we became the dumb stuff

Does anyone remember it, or know where to find it?
The little singing alien thing popped up a few times on my FYP but I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because I can't find any evidence that it ever existed.

 

I had never really heard of him outside of wrestling until the memes, and since then his movie career has actually been on a pretty impressive trajectory.

 

Theme

Try to recreate a classic exploitable meme using AI!

I'm gonna switch up the scoring a little for this challenge, so be sure to read the score section:

  • Most ambitious: the most complex meme or the meme that I (a layman) feels would be very difficult to describe via prompt.
  • Most recognizable: the meme is the easiest to identify, and is the most accurate to the original
  • Do not include the name of the meme in the prompt: the challenge is to find a novel way to recreate the meme, not just get the model to spit out an image it was trained on. You can use words that are in the name of the meme, but avoid telling the model to just make the meme.
