Why does the gym have so many weights that would be easier to move with a forklift? https://t.co/QwH5gUpPA8
RT @bpleasies: https://t.co/MhQfJIxXof
I knew it was only a matter of time before someone found the first cryptid in latent space. . . too bad many of the big cryptid artists on here have preemptively decided AI art has nothing to offer them https://t.co/2jgaLIYbV7
Finally, a textbook illustration that gets how cool it'd be to have an internal parasite (stolen from @scienceshitpost on fb) https://t.co/IMmnQayf5J
My god, this guy is doing scicomm on a whole new level. I'm transfixed https://t.co/1EhxOU6y8o
@no_earthquake I appreciate that you laughed at this even though a dozen ppl already made it in the OP's replies :o
@roxiqt It's Gilbert! He also loves to go to the aquarium and watch his turtle friends: https://t.co/M33d4OZ7DV
I still can't believe they just leave stuff like this lying around in the woods https://t.co/gCrUWPLGvZ
@odian_ There are actually machine assisted exercises ppl do, but I agree the analogy falls apart a bit here since GPT is so infinitely more useful as an aid to self-improvement
@MeaghanDuncan42 @townsendyesmate @hansmollman Why would you heat it?
in case you've ever wondered what all those mouthparts are for https://t.co/MGwIowy2tv
@spacetwinks I don't remember this character by name and have no idea what this show/film is, but I have an extremely strong memory of this character design. A real trip, but I'm not sure to where
The trope where one person says something incorrect, someone else pedantically corrects them, and a third person rolls their eyes and says "gee, you must be fun at parties" implies that parties are fun primarily as spaces of epistemic chaos
@dysangelistes Dare I ask which answers you consider good?

@odian_ Lots of people do feel this way about college, though, and lots of people don't about the gym. If you're not intellectually stimulated by college it's either not a priority or a skill issue
someone made this @PleaseBeGneiss joke into a real thing lmao https://t.co/6yr46B5n5e
We let the sun get away with things we would never tolerate from any other source of radiation
Imagine the reaction you'd get if you proposed spending millions of dollars building a grid of wires for birds to perch on that covered nearly the entire country. And yet we've already done it anyway
Certainly supports that @Noahpinion thesis that the military is the only way we can get things done in the US https://t.co/UBd4NMXnYa
What're the "darkest" (ie grotesque, brutal, not just disspiriting) thing that happens in canon? Cassian killing his contact on Cafrene? Aphra sacrificing Caysin Bog? Slaves of the Republic?

Taco restaurant closed but turkey vulture in parking lot https://t.co/PHfTv0nEPQ
@no_earthquake Wait what do you teach? I always imagine you in a tiny seminar room with like four grad students talking about art theory
@the1janitor These look like Mexican style paletas, which in my mind are not the same thing as what I think you're asking about (popsicles, rural Michigan)
You can make a rat pretty cozy if you want https://t.co/cvA3LXVuMD
Underage centipede fan on the road https://t.co/6olcH2W5Pb
Guy who extends this argument to the full skillset employed in the global industrial economy to trick people into understanding they're already part of a much better system than they dream of creating https://t.co/E82j33igxA
A two-pronged bristletail, one of the basal hexapod orders and something I'd never seen before. This one lives under a log in the next block over #InverteFest https://t.co/3k2vLSi8c2
Winnie the Pooh couldn't be made in today's PC climate. Too many little kids would know he's named after a piece of shit
There's some kind of e-shrike active in our neighborhood?? https://t.co/hGVXCrQlII
I wrote a piece exploring why the "Postmodernism is destroying The West" rhetoric got so popular with the Rationals https://t.co/d0ePe7zrt6

Video games are better-equipped than any other medium to engage with the true complexity of nature, but until 2019, they mostly didn't bother. I looked at 4 recent releases to see how well they avoid the Wilderness Myth and place humans in nature. https://t.co/qqBJ2PXVPV
@ArronJamesMusic @spacetwinks ah that makes sense, I figured it was related to PR somehow
@eelfriend Whenever linen isn't on screen, the reader should be thinking "where's linen?"
I didn't get any pics I'm really happy with but aren't these baby slugs adorable and gorgeous? https://t.co/J5yrpV0nZC
@bryan_caplan You should crop out the dall-e signature in the corner first
It's trivially within the scope of how even I understand LLMs to work but it still shocks me that Claude can just tell you what a random string of nucleotides is for. I gave him a list of like 100 31-mers and he picked out immediately which one was an rRNA sequence https://t.co/nTkDVhfarR
@peligrietzer This seems like an ideal strategy idk that you have anything to feel self conscious about
He's holding his feet https://t.co/JnWAB6ChxA
@kitchenartist @Nicole_Cliffe I assume this kept him coming back for more? The later chapters in that story are pretty wild
@paynus3 This person definitely doesn't work for some kind of service to help people who are so horny their stomachs hurt!

Men will literally go halfway to therapy before going to therapy
Before the #liberals find a reason to deface, destroy or degrade this one, I thought some of you might like to see it one more time... https://t.co/do33WnCi7i
I love bingChat so much tbh. Use it all the time for everything, incredible product. And I'm barely scratching the surface of what it could probably do
It's amazing that people ever managed to convince themselves weeds weren't beautiful. Farming is a hell of a drug
don't talk to me or my clone daughter ever again https://t.co/qf8wpNQrLi
Poorly and Papaya both died this week. Please say hello to Piggle so he doesn't feel lonely https://t.co/rpq5PhyCvB
Everyone's a socialist in a pandemic. Everyone's a libertarian in a pandemic. Everyone's a social democrat in a pandemic. Everyone's an anarchist in a pandemic. Everyone's an accelerationist in a pandemic. Everyone's a primitivist in a pandemic. Everyone's a panpsychist in a pand
@michelleakin Do you know about these? The family I used to cook for had one, seems like a worthwhile investment for serious brownie heads https://t.co/OApaVoJRk9
look who's hanging out in our stairway https://t.co/VY6gEXaDSm
@MinovskyArticle Saw a person claiming that being a Souls veteran meant they knew better than to fall for the game's tricks. Just a tragic attitude
@tiny_rivers @hankgreen Yep, these are the agamic generation galls of the cynipid wasp Acraspis quercushirta on bur oak. Agamic galls each contain a female wasp which will emerge in the fall and lay eggs in buds that produce male and female wasps in a totally different gall https://t.co/jS0Z5NKoYF
@elsecaller_ I don't know why people find it so hard to imagine the value in making art exponentially cheaper and faster to produce. It puts so many more possibilities within reach in almost every context
Pet rats will literally wrestle their siblings to assert dominance instead of going to therapy
Typoes are revealed preferences for alternate spellings
@leslekieuart They aren't "from media" per se but you'll appreciate these wild dog and hyena images: https://t.co/A1D71pqY35
Biologist at a basketball game: Look, that player is clearly trying to steal the ball from him! It's competition! Another biologist: But he just passed the ball to another player, they're cooperating! Journalist: What if Darwin was wrong!?
Rats can't catch coronavirus so it's safe for them to lick your face as much as they want
@singaporemacro Vespid face--two black eyes and white mandibles
@ckunzelman Wayne Barlowe's Hell series. It's so lush with detail and imagination it totally sells Hell as a real and bizarre place utterly beyond our conventional depictions of it. And yet it uses enough familiar symbols and motifs to have a powerfully ominous and meaningful vibe https://t.co/xdX4bqQXbZ
New @superbunnyhop vid argues a version of my hobbyhorse that essentially all genre fiction is a direct descendant of shamanism https://t.co/RGarVpxK4l
Always shocking to realize how old quantum physics is and how young genetic biology is
Factorio and every game like it is fundamentally a metabolic pathway simulator and I can't wait for the day someone makes that explicit https://t.co/WjDrpqyVNd
If groceries did not exist we would have to invent them
I don't get the Ralph Wiggum "and the baby looked at me" joke. That's not how human reproduction works?

Is there any textual evidence about what Jesus *actually* thought of Marxism? Seems like a big oversight if he never commented on it at all
Wait wtf? An NPC in Ossuary has a whole thing about disposing of razorblades in walls and I was certain it was just a weird nightmare imagery thing https://t.co/icHZOTYMQB

Are you an "I like math because math is simple where the real world is complicated" math fan or an "I like math because its simple rules underlie the real world" math fan?
I'm just thinking about how there was a time in the mid 2000s when we got a scene where a war orphan hacks apart an unconscious body with a dull knife and another where a kid gets cannibalized by a rich gourmand and like. . . I assume that sort of thing is off the table forever?
So I got a new phone and a clipon macro lens and holy shit. I feel like a literal god https://t.co/dBL6WqCBAq
I try to cultivate intellectual humility and feel like I've succeeded surprisingly well given my baseline arrogance. But science journalists earnestly arguing that cooperation in nature means the absence of competition makes me feel like the lone genius in a world of fools https://t.co/hfhjdIzESI

@_wayneburkett @RazzberryYams Took me a second to realize this wasn't an earnest continuation of the "restaurants under communism" discourse

@BiologyCarly In undergrad field research, our vehicle got charged by a mother elephant because I was collecting my pan traps too close to her kids
@marx_knopfler Many people have made similar points but I just can't help but think it smells very religious for ppl to think "well it doesn't count when I do it because I'm so virtuous but it's still evil" instead of just changing their beliefs to match their actual choices
There's no better evidence of progress in human culture than going from "cellar door" to "Pancaked by Drunk Dump Truck Driver" in only 100 years

Rats will be like "I don't care if you send me to my room as a punishment, I've got books and video games in there" but for standing in the corner doing nothing
@3blue1brown What happens if it turns out recovered patients can become reinfected after a certain amount of time?
Just rolled credits on Elden Ring. Level 165, 125 hours. What a tremendous blessing to receive something this exquisite and monumental
@eashankotha If she's being brave for you you can be brave for her
In conclusion, baby opossums are the cutest creatures on earth and it was a true blessing to be able to care for them https://t.co/PNn80Zp0Yw
Fellas, is it sexual to be attracted to another person? https://t.co/bUqopPKsHY
@NeolithicSheep The mockingbird singing outside my window at 1 AM last night got BirdNET to suggest titmouse, oriole, cowbird, and carolina wren in a 5 minute span
My guest article for @eleventhirtyate, on how The Last Jedi realizes the latent metafictional potential of the Force to keep telling good stories when everyone knows the pattern. https://t.co/BltLk9jZdF
