I got married in the aughts, just a few years after Outkast came out with the song Hey Ya, which was a super popular song. Anyway, my wife and I had a Polaroid camera and thought it would be fun to leave it out with a bunch of film so our wedding guests could take pictures of the night for us.

So we went to Target to buy film and ask a teenager working there if they sold Polaroid film. They had no idea what we were talking about. I said remember asking my wife, "So what do you suppose they think that line 'shake it like a Polaroid picture' means?"

That teenager would be in their mid-30s by now...

"A fire, quick throw some gasoline on it to put it out!"

Every once in a while, MAGA is so close to getting it. But they never seem to be able to connect the dots.

I followed the #2 link he linked about cloud seeding. From the article:

Veteran Houston meteorologist Travis Herzog weighed in this week, calling the theory scientifically unfounded.

“Cloud seeding cannot create a storm of this magnitude or size. In fact, cloud seeding cannot even create a single cloud,” Herzog said. “All it can do is take an existing cloud and enhance the rainfall by up to 20% — and even that is on the high end.”

He compared the theory to blowing out a candle and assuming one could extinguish a wildfire. “It is a matter of scale,” he said.

It's pretty ballsy to provide a link with someone calling out your bullshit while acting as if that link proves your point.

"hey Google, show a message on my back window saying 'Sorry I didn't know this lane was a merge lane and went around you like a jackass, I swear I didn't know!! I'm actually a nice person'"

“I pinged Elon on at some point. I’m just like, dude, if I’m doing this and I’m super amateur hour physics enthusiast, like what about all those PhD students and postdocs that are super legit using this tool?” Kalanick said.

Dude is right here on the Dunning Kruger curve.

Ah gotcha, I was thinking maybe it had to do with the AI Paperclip Problem but I was way off.

What is Operation Paperclip?

It's referencing this account. I wish I had a better link than the Daily Mail

I did this a few days ago in accident only to basically pass the person in front of me and then sit in heavy traffic for the next 5 minutes.

I could feel their eyes burning into the back of my head, with them thinking "way to go, asshole, you saved yourself exactly 2 seconds by going around me."

Cars need an "I'm sorry" emote somehow.

Kind of surprising there are that many songs just named !

I'm super stoked for the Project Hail Mary movie. But I was super disappointed in the trailer, because it shows the WHOLE freaking movie. If you haven't read the book, you're far better off skipping the trailer and going in blind.
