This is the most sighing I've ever done reading a thread page

Playing a ranked match against some pretty decent players in Speedrunners, and then suddenly, lag (maybe caused by having my music player going on in the background and changing tracks). Now the game takes place outside the map, and a new game is formed: "Who's Timing is Better?". Time your (double-)jump so you are the last to fall off screen. The grand equalizer; also made one of the players less whiney while at it.

That looks incredibly fun.

Who actually is the community of Yahoo Answers? A decent portion believe in astrology, more than half say that Ouija boards will for real make you be haunted by ghosts and demons, and they can't even do dank memes properly.

I AM YAHOO ANSWERS

just looking at the yahoo answers feed its half liberal-communist-Obama-oppression conspiracy ranting and half really weird questions about creepy things.

I have a game we can play: "Naive Child, Immature (Possibly Uneducated) Adult, or Troll?", guess what Yahoo Q&A's are made by who(m). Considering even little kids have smartphones these days, it's likely these are not adults or teens asking; but equally likely they (sadly) are.

Latest developments in post-factual speculative philosophistry:

Hyperobjects

In The Ecological Thought, Morton introduced the concept of hyperobjects to describe objects that are so massively distributed in time and space as to transcend spatiotemporal specificity, such as global warming, styrofoam, and radioactive plutonium.[31] He has subsequently enumerated five characteristics of hyperobjects:

    1. Viscous: Hyperobjects adhere to any other object they touch, no matter how hard an object tries to resist. In this way, hyperobjects overrule ironic distance, meaning that the more an object tries to resist a hyperobject, the more glued to the hyperobject it becomes.[32]
    2. Molten: Hyperobjects are so massive that they refute the idea that spacetime is fixed, concrete, and consistent.[33]
   3. Nonlocal: Hyperobjects are massively distributed in time and space to the extent that their totality cannot be realized in any particular local manifestation. For example, global warming is a hyperobject that impacts meteorological conditions, such as tornado formation. According to Morton, though, objects don't feel global warming, but instead experience tornadoes as they cause damage in specific places. Thus, nonlocality describes the manner in which a hyperobject becomes more substantial than the local manifestations they produce.[34]
  4. Phased: Hyperobjects occupy a higher-dimensional space than other entities can normally perceive. Thus, hyperobjects appear to come and go in three-dimensional space, but would appear differently if an observer could have a higher multidimensional view.[35]
   5. Interobjective: Hyperobjects are formed by relations between more than one object. Consequently, objects are only able to perceive to the imprint, or "footprint," of a hyperobject upon other objects, revealed as information. For example, global warming is formed by interactions between the Sun, fossil fuels, and carbon dioxide, among other objects. Yet, global warming is made apparent through emissions levels, temperature changes, and ocean levels, making it seem as if global warming is a product of scientific models, rather than an object that predated its own measurement.[36]

According to Morton, hyperobjects not only become visible during an age of ecological crisis, but alert humans to the ecological dilemmas defining the age in which they live.[37] Additionally, the existential capacity of hyperobjects to outlast a turn toward less materialistic cultural values, coupled with the threat many such objects pose toward organic matter (what Morton calls a "demonic inversion of the sacred substances of religion"), gives them a potential spiritual quality, in which their treatment by future societies may become indistinguishable from reverential care.[38]

10 things you shouldn't do when working as a gynecologist.

[Eric Blank]

Going through an old "Gems and Minerals" magazine, and the first paragraph of an article starts like this:

"Last month the authors reported on midwestern geodes and the similarity of their characteristics to echinoderm fossils. This led to the postulation of a theory that geodes may have been formed by fossilization of echinoderms. But further evidence was needed. Here is the report on their travels to many geode collecting sights and the results of those trips."

They were certainly tripping on something back in July 1967.

You know... it sounds silly... but

I KIIND of would like to see a sort of analysis on how much those three wishes would do.

I mean yeah they are inefficient as heck but... I kind of wonder.

There's probably a lot of overlap between the three anyway. While not everyone will get what they need, at least some will get all three. It is also worth noting that making sure a sick patient is well fed can go a long way to making sure they don't croak on you during recovery.
