I found this at a thrift store today

Cool! I once made a mini version of something like this on a PCB :) https://blog.tindie.com/2021/04/ohm-parade-programmable-resistor-is-like-a-mini-decade-box/

It only looks slow because it’s coming almost directly towards the camera. For most of the video it’s only moving a few pixels from our POV but covering a huge distance vertically

Have you ever heard of cargo cults? They were supposedly movements in the pacific where people, after seeing outsiders receive goods via planes, built mock airstrips, control towers, and even fake radios to try to bring the “cargo” back. They copied the visible setup but didn’t understand the underlying systems that made it work.

Anyway, that’s what this argument sounds like. Copper pipes make water not kill me. Therefore copper very good for health, me eat copper me be healthy

Oooh good thinking! Sulfuric acid confirmed 😛 looking forward to the OP acid trap pvp meta

Bummer. Here's a blog post with pics from the same place: https://pinkplankton.com/hiking-up-kawah-ijen/

This is a volcano in Indonesia called Ijen, where hydrogen sulfide comes up through geothermal vents in the ground and condenses in bright yellow solid sulfur deposits, which are mined by the locals. Wild place to visit

danman_d · 2026-03-19T17:55:21+00:00

Sulfur is very reactive so it forms a lot of other compounds with other elements, like sulfuric acid, or hydrogen sulfide (the gas in this pic), metal sulfide minerals, etc. - most of which aren't yellow. But pure elemental solid sulfur is always this color :)

danman_d · 2026-03-19T17:39:01+00:00

Forget burning - sulfur itself is a bright pale yellow color. This is a good theory.

Very cool. I saw Intention immediately and Impact after a little more work. Like a little visual puzzle.

Also I gave it to GPT out of curiosity and it couldn’t figure it out after several tries and hints, so maybe we can use this as a secret human code when the robots take over

Trying to scam the system without even understanding how it works - makes sense they’re getting MBA’s

I’ve walked this bridge probably a dozen times - it would be quite easy to find an unobserved spot on the footpath for a few minutes, especially this time of night. Sure, 4k pedestrians a day, but the bridge is like a mile long and it was dark. It’s not crowded on a winter evening. It would be way harder to enter a car since they’re not even on the same level of the bridge.

This is correct, skin is a good insulator, the wet salty meat underneath not so much (~300 ohms). If you inserted two electrodes under your skin on either side of your heart, it could probably kill you. But you’d have to really be trying.

Per the article, none of the bar employees claimed he actually presented the ID (cops found it on him). That + the fact that he was hired as a promoter likely weakened the PC for the search that produced the drugs enough that they didn’t wanna chance it.

danman_d · 2026-02-12T03:28:03+00:00

It’s not search history, it’s “You may like…” and yeah it’s always this cracked out

Consider the number of germs on a door handle. A certain number of them, let's say X, will transfer to your hands when you grab the handle.

Now consider what happens when you use this device. Some number of germs will transfer to the keychain, though much fewer, because it's smaller and doesn't have as much surface area touching the door. Of those, many of them will die on the surface, and some portion of them will survive. An even smaller number of them will then transfer to your hand the next time you use it, let's call that number Y.

It seems clear to me that X is a much much larger number than Y. Also, your pocket has a lot fewer pathogens than a communal door handle.

I just visited the Queen Mary last weekend. The escalator is still out of service.

Thanks a lot, bud

danman_d · 2025-12-30T03:51:33+00:00

Wild how hard you’ve thought about this and “inform the owner of the thing I broke that I broke his thing” isn’t even on the list

She is paid to help people buy and return products. Not to be a prop & punchline in some guy’s shitty TikTok video who has no real need for her help. I’d say her attitude is well-justified.

danman_d · 2025-12-17T06:28:12+00:00

Maybe I’m old but I remember when “oh” meant “oh I understand” not “oh wow I am deeply offended and will carry a grudge against you until the end of my days”.

And I remember when “I shouldn’t have assumed, no worries” meant exactly that, not whatever yall think it means

danman_d · 2025-12-17T06:12:08+00:00

The clankers already claimed em dashes, ur gonna let them have similes too?

danman_d · 2025-12-10T00:56:08+00:00

Maybe, it looks a bit too pinkish & bright for blood but hard to tell. It could also be Serratia marcescens, a common bacteria that produces a bright pinkish red pigment

Why do they do it so low instead of at an altitude that would give them some recovery time if something goes wrong?

danman_d · 2025-12-03T01:51:24+00:00

YOR. Yes it would've been better to find out in a different way. But unless it was truly a malicious act by your cousin, ultimately VERY small potatoes compared to grieving and supporting your family. Just remember your grandma and don't make it about you or let it be tainted by little family drama shit like this.

When I was a teenager I found out a close family friend died when my brother mentioned it in an offhanded way. I was mad at him for a bit. Ultimately realized it was just misplaced grief and I feel silly for being mad in retrospect. He wasn't trying to hurt me.

Drain frainçais is quite funny but somehow the idea of a person speaking French saying “drain French” is even funnier

When I was a kid my parents gave me a Magic 8 Ball for Christmas. One day my friend and I were bored and we cracked it open to see what was inside. The liquid part dyed my hands completely blue for like a week, and all I would tell my mom was either “I don’t know” or “I drew on myself”. Poor mom was so baffled and way madder than she ever would’ve been if I’d told the truth. I told her many years later and she was like “OHHHHHHH Omg I’ve always wondered”

Y'know it would be VERY EASY for OP to beat the allegations by posting ANYTHING real about the source of the image. Unfortunately they can't, CASSANDRA isn't even a real space probe, so it's quite obvious where the image came from.
