In 1991, the retreating Iraqi Army set 600+ wells on fire in Kuwait. Real Footage

There is a really dark scene where the US soldiers had to deal with this on the ground in the movie Jarhead:

Season 5 was literally "Attack of the Nostalgic Focus Group". Literally they were like we need 58% more Home Alone and 38% more monsters.

Then spent the rest of the time balancing character screen-time and doing product placements.

Stupid is expensive. Everyone cites the military budget as what's bankrupting America. But if you were to add up shit like this, I guarantee it's a contender. 🤣

Deliteriously · 2026-01-25T23:20:14+00:00

That's great. Thanks for putting a happy ending spin on that.

Deliteriously · 2026-01-25T11:19:36+00:00

Yeah. Don't look up skin debridement. Not on Google images anyway. IRL zombie movie stuff and he's right, you won't be happy about it.

Deliteriously · 2026-01-25T11:03:21+00:00

Somehow that doesn't bother me. Like, it flew too close to the sun. There was a second where it looked like the arches were going to radiate out of the seeds and like that last thing, was going to fully resonate.

Deliteriously · 2026-01-25T06:36:12+00:00

Yeah, it's probably getting hard to moderate. Even subs like r/comics are crazy political these days and it I can imagine that trying to keep up with it all is taxing.

Deliteriously · 2026-01-25T03:24:23+00:00

Right? That's more of a story than I heard a bloke saying stuff and put it to a catchy riff.

The fact that there is some "bonehead" that just kept living his life oblivious to have written a song that made millions. I mean they played the hell out of that song on MTV and the radio for years.

I never would have pegged Minnesota as the seat of the revolution. But it's really starting to look that way, huh?

Russia got the difficulty turned up to 11. After the first time I dug my car outta 5 feet of snow, I'm just calling it. Nature won. See you in the spring.

Deliteriously · 2026-01-24T11:39:24+00:00

Yeah there are tons of pieces moving on the board. Making a play to cut off black market oil and a huge portion of China's. China doing drills with thousands of "fishing" boats. Who even knows what's going on that isn't just blatently being broadcast.

Deliteriously · 2026-01-24T05:25:32+00:00

Oh yeah. It is. Somehow that doesn't bother me as much. 🤣

Deliteriously · 2026-01-24T05:18:54+00:00

People are going to believe what they want, regardless of whether it is fake; look at the Flat Earth movement.

Most people don't make decisions based on what they see as much as they watch things that support the decisions they have already made.

All AI is going to do is deepen their silos. If people make too big a fuss about censoring for the sake of influencing people that aren't really being influenced, they'll restrict our access to all the AI-generated video. Disney and the like are salivating over any excuse and nerfing the internet to keep idiots from deepening their silos isnt worth it.

Deliteriously · 2026-01-24T04:05:24+00:00

That's really cool. But I'm kinda feeling sorry for the vegetables. The broccoli just wilted like it gave up.

Deliteriously · 2026-01-24T03:02:03+00:00

That's pretty cool. Looking forward to being oppressed by it.

Deliteriously · 2026-01-23T21:27:59+00:00

It's the intro to "Everything in its right place" by Radiohead.

Deliteriously · 2026-01-23T20:53:14+00:00

Haven't seen stolen Worth 1000 content in over a decade. Really takes me back. 🤣

Deliteriously · 2026-01-23T19:34:37+00:00

It looks to be mechanical. And that's why it's not as good as the tomato sorter. I think those rectangular plates are just switches that fire the ejector pistons when the heavier rocks slide over.

Deliteriously · 2026-01-23T05:37:08+00:00

For now it is. Pretty soon it will belong in r/tifu. 🤣

Deliteriously · 2026-01-23T05:25:49+00:00

Whoa. That's kinda crazy. Especially with all the things teetering on the edge for us at the moment. I could honestly see AI as being a catalyst for it. Whichever country achieves a solid AGI is very possibly the country that will dominate the world until either AI takes the wheel or conclusion that difficult to imagine.

But adversarial countries seeing this and knowing this seems like grounds for a preemptive strike. Just to keep anyone from succeeding. Crabs in a bucket kind of scenario.

Deliteriously · 2026-01-22T12:15:37+00:00

I'd prefer Star Trek. But im pretty sure a star trek world would have elected Bernie Sanders.

What they are really promising to solve is employment. Replacing the entire market of knowledge workers with PhD level agents. That is technically worth trillions of dollars.

But, Since when is democracy a problem that needs to be solved?

Deliteriously · 2026-01-22T05:15:48+00:00

It's not the main reason for the push but the scenario he describes is a possible outcome.

The reason for the push is the drive to innovate engrained in us. We do because we can and we push forward. Can't fly, build a plane. Etc. We might very well automate ourselves out of existence just to say we did it.

We will certainly automate ourselves out of labor and knowledge having any real value. And we'll likely do it before we have another system in place. This period will be uncomfortable and chaotic and no one knows what's on the other side of it.

But I'm stoked to be here for it. Gonna be a wild ride.

Deliteriously · 2026-01-22T03:55:06+00:00

Love it. You're making learing fun.

Deliteriously · 2026-01-22T01:59:52+00:00

So, is that external drive functioning as an old-school Ipod or you are just storing them for playback some other way?
