It’s not a reference to any particular drive. It’s just that Germans drove tanks into Poland at the start of WW2. The dual meaning of the word “tank” is the pun.

It’s from this video:

Is the ring holders poop also invisible?

Obviously it’s invisible while inside the person, but what happens if they make a little turd? Does it become visible in mid air or does it work like the clothes?

What if they make a poo poo in the middle of a street while invisible, then walk away to a different town. What happens if the ring is then taken off?

“Wash at or bellow 50°”

OK. I choose to bellow 50°

You’re a slacker if it’s not 100% LinkedIn.

It shows the bidding zones for wholesale electricity markets. This is also why Sweden, Norway and Italy are split in several prices.

It’s not particularly interesting to anyone but those who trade electricity wholesale. I guess we can say that those with low prices have an overproduction and vice versa.

Remember the hype around brain wave synchronization through stereo headphones in the early 00s?

If these earplugs can actually get any kind of reading, it might actually work a lot better than it did back then. Knowing the current frequency of the brain waves would be really helpful in order to make the sounds resonate and synchronize the brain waves to the desired state of mind.

Potentially it can make a person feel any state of awareness between drowsy and stressed.

I would like to have that kind of control, but I also wouldn’t want anyone else to have that kind of control over anyone else’s brain frequency. Especially not in a paid product…

It’s really interesting but also very very grim.

I’m not really scared of AI becoming more intelligent. I’m more concerned about stupid people giving control to stupid AI. It’s plenty capable of fucking things up as it is provided it is given access to do so.

You’re right. Retirement is a term used as a carrot at the end of stick. You’ll never get it, or it will be stale when you finally catch it. I don’t know that many happy retired people. Sure they got off the rat wheel, but at what cost? An entire life spend on making billionaires richer. Fuck that.

Forget about retirement. Instead, I suggest focusing and actively working on making life worth living before getting too old. Demand better working conditions if work is what’s making life miserable.

The G is silent in English words starting with gn. Gnarly gnats is pronounced narly nats.

There’s not a lot of those words anyway

Gnu and gnome are exceptions only when used to describe the software. The gnu animal and the mythical gnome creature are pronounced with silent gs.

I know it’s completely off-topic, but anyway. No, I’m fine with the rake. That’s what’s makes it funny.

It’s the drawing of the skater that is too good, and that doesn’t add up with the other details being wrong. Someone who can draw a skater that good wouldn’t make the other things that wrong or even random.

The rake is drawn as doing a frontside shove-it, popped from mid-air and failing because of gravity suddenly changing in the middle of the sequence. The skater is “obviously” doing a varial heelflip instead of a frontside shove-it.

So that’s the clue to why I thought it was drawn off an actual picture. That the background is also a copy of the original only reaffirms my theory.

In hindsight I can also see that the skater is obviously Andrew Reynolds. The tuck and landing is his signature style.

The last picture in the meme always bothered me, because the sequence doesn’t make any sense physically. (Popping the rake from mid air and doing the wrong flip and such)

So, I went on to find the sequence that I believe it was drawn from.

Not officially. It was removed in 2023.

It would be interesting to have such a statistic. Perhaps there was such a day more recently than we think.

Today’s not that day though. https://www.worldometers.info/

Perhaps the piezo speaker can still be used to mess with people.

I wouldn’t think too much into it. I guess that most users here just don’t have older kids yet, so they might lack the perspective of being the ones to give advice that kids don’t listen to.

My own kids aren’t that old yet and will still listen, but I really hope that one day they will stop listening, because then I know I’ve taught them to be independent.

Breaking: This is what they don’t want you to see!

The images are from Houston.

The parking lot picture is from the 1970s, so probably not exactly fair to compare to a modern city. I don’t know (care about) how it looks now.
