I used to hang with a lot of hard-partying night-owls. Combining poor sleep, cigarettes, and alcohol can age a person pretty damn fast. If you add hard drugs to the mix, or even some legitimate prescriptions, it just gets even faster.

As they say: "never meet your heroes". Two out of three ain't bad.

I had a house with something like the first one, although it had a railing installed.

At first I hated the railing and considered removing it. Then I slipped on the hardwood steps on my way down into the pit. A whole 20 inches doesn't seem like a lot, but let me tell you that hitting my ass halfway down was enough to make me re-think all of it.

Aesthetically, conversation pits are amazing. That said, they are absolutely built to fuck up someone's day the very moment they're not being careful.

Whoa. Yes. I remember that entire box.

That toy was good for entire minutes of fun, until it collected all the pet hair and dust that collected in the carpet next to the baseboard.

This picture is brimming with "Beavis and Butthead" energy.

This is the longest, most elaborate way I've ever seen to say "I like rock climbing." j/k

This is adorable and I'm happy for you both. Cheers.

This is why his performance in The Rock is pitch perfect.

Is that... is that a top-of-the-line graphics card fully-populated with RAM?!

Still hot.

Okay, that's kind of brilliant.

That's the neat part. This device is designed such that "out comes the lead."

See, stuff like this is why we need photographers and photo journalists. They're not just documenting things, they're making a point. They're making art.

 

With the rise in popularity of Anime like "Delicious in Dungeon" and "Campfire Cooking in Another World", I wouldn't be surprised if people are honestly giving a "cooking bard" character a shot. I'm intrigued myself, but am curious if the RaW for this bard college works in practice. Is anyone out there playing one of these?

 
 

I used to really enjoy sites like this. I know there's joke accounts on Twitter and other sites here and there, but I haven't seen anything lately that has the whole site as one big running gag.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q%26A_comedy_website

A Q&A website is a website where the site creators use the images of pop culture icons, historical figures, fictional characters, or even inanimate objects or abstract concepts to answer input from the site's visitors, usually in question/answer format. This format of website, most popular in the early 2000s, evolved from the much older Internet Oracle. The original progenitor of this type of site was the now-defunct Forum 2000. The Forum 2000 claimed to have run the site by means of artificial intelligence, and the personalities on the website were called SOMADs, or "State Of Mind Adjointness pairs". However, later Q&A sites usually dispensed with this pretense, with the most extreme example being Jerk Squad!, on which the administrators of the site provide many of the answers.

 

FTA:

Two Democratic legislators are introducing a bill on Wednesday aimed at Mr. Musk and the so-called Buffalo Billion project, in which the state spent $959 million to build and equip a plant that Mr. Musk’s company leases for $1 a year to operate a solar panel and auto component factory.

The bill would require an audit of the state subsidy deal to “identify waste, fraud and abuse committed by private parties to the contract.” It would determine whether the company, Tesla, was meeting job creation targets, making promised investments, paying enough rent and honoring job training commitments.

If Tesla was found to be not in compliance, the state could claw back state benefits, impose penalties or terminate contracts.

 

Some of you may remember this absolute diamond of insanity that was the "4-Day Time Cube." This was the go-to example of the internet as a universal amplifier for communication - for both the sane and insane alilke. It was there from nearly the start of the world-wide web, back in the 1990's. Alas, it ceased to be some time ago, but it still lives on in our hearts.

For the uninitiated: welcome. Read and join the rest of us that are "educated stupid."
