An online IQ test is probably just as meaningful as a sorting hat quiz, or whatever the 2020s equivalent is.

Which is to say, it’s useful as a bullshitting session conversation starter with friends so long as all are aware any results should be taken with a massive grain of salt.

I’ve never actually taken a formal IQ test, and I’d have trouble justifying the time and effort.

I know exactly one person who took a formal IQ test, and it was because their parents pushed them into it in middle school.

If I won $50M in the powerball and never had to work again, maaaybe I could justify doing one just for shits and giggles.

Cable porn vs cable gore

I’ve seen a similar cartoon with a cat paw coming through the glory hole and bopping the dude in the face

Thanks for the alt-text. There’s not much contrast between the font color and the surrounding background color.

I know server space and bandwidth and payroll + benefits for programmers aren’t free, and apple isn’t a non-profit like my local food bank and homeless shelter.

But I’m also not thrilled about ads invading apple maps.

I don’t know how to square the circle though.

I have vague memories of a scene in Idiocracy that was probably a reference to this brand.

There was a billboard in the background with the text

If you don’t smoke Tarrlytons, then fuck you!

It might have even been Will Ferrell depicted on the billboard.

Van Gogh was a very sunaliveed painter.

Same.

I’ve heard a joke among some cat owners to the effect of:

What’s the optimal number of cats to own?

One more

It’s the same way with providing context and details.

What’s the ideal amount of context to provide?

More!

Unstructured downtime
