A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

The fact that the laws of physics become inconsistent and stop making sense on very small and very large scales.
The simulation was designed to be believable to human eyes, but when you look too closely using technology to augment your measurements, you can see where the makers cut corners to save on memory.
Also, dark matter and the light speed limit are just a cop-out to avoid rendering the whole thing at once.

That’s a lot harder than just simply fingering your asshole

A lot less fun, too.

Yeah... And if you keep measuring smaller and smaller distances you find there's a hard-coded constant (PLANCK_LENGTH) that prevents you from measuring distances any smaller.

It's probably just floating point rounding errors.

This is anecdotal but I've never run out of stamina with my finger up my ass so Tom might be on to something.

Trying it now, I'll let you know.

It’s been an hour; any news?

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 4 points 15 hours ago

I said I'd let you know.

Idk if they're dead now, but I'll try it next... in the name of science

To me it would be someone clipping through an untested area.

No infinite stamina, I always need a little nap after.
