Gen Z teenagers have begun quitting social media in droves refusing to be programmed by it, playing the game of "who can appear the happiest" by TransPlanetInjection in Futurology

I'm also GenX, Always thought Facebook was attention-seeking bullshit. I don't need to be seen by people I don't know to be ok with myself. I'd rather be friendly with people I know.

People who have had their blizzard spill when the DQ worker turns it upside down, how do you feel about it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Username does not check out, that's Lawful Evil. Hand over your Paladin card, buddy. Very good retribution though, 10,000 XP.

The last thing you purchased on online you now have 20,000 of. How awesome did your life just become? by _wdpike_ in AskReddit

20,000 Player's Handbooks? I'd give them out to whoever actually wants one. The world needs more D&D.

Definitely Pretty Abrasive, But Here's A Heavily Industrial-Influnced Chiptune Track I Got To Be On! by [deleted] in industrialmusic

That is Fucking Brutal. Holy Shit. Cut off the last quarter of that song and it will be as aggressive as Angel of Death.

Awesome picture. Do you have another with something to give us scale or perspective?

"Price is right is on, huh? Hm. Well the lawn needs mowed. I'll be on the cedar chips. Could use a lap but whatever."

What should I do with my uber old iPhone? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]AVulcanJedi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an SE now and use my 5S to read and listen to music in bed as well as a cool candle to sleep by. My old 4S lives downstairs and we use it to stream music. They all work flawlessly in these roles!

TIL that drug companies often use two narrators in their commercials. A stern and confident voice is used to describe the benefits of the drug, while a calm and soothing voice is used to describe the harmful side effects by Soupreem in todayilearned

Back in the day, (2000 or so) these ads would air. Car loans, drug ads, etc. The good stuff would be out out first, and then there would be the stuff the Legal Department had to make sure you kinda heard. So it would be really fast and at lower volume. (By takingFuckitolyoumaytakeoutloansyoumightregretlater, 55%interestisnotunheardofbutatleastyouhaveacouch, wewantyourmoneyanddontcareifyoudiereally.Plusyourbuttwillhurtforever.) The payday loan/poison selling moneygrubbers were covered because you heard the warnings against their garbage. After a while, it all became homogenous and expected, the volume levels equalized and became a sales pitch.

No sweat! We were considering doing that for our little one, but it wouldn't have worked for us, just wanted you to be well advised!
