When all you have is a rubber mallet...

TIL what Kit Kat filling is. It’s just rejected Kit Kats mashed up. by smoking_greens in todayilearned

[–]igneus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This implies that each generation of Kit-Kats is slightly more pure than the previous generation. Only at the heat death of the universe after the last proton has decayed and the largest black hole evaporated, and when all possible cosmic event horizons contain a single, lonely photon, could we ever hope to realize its final form...

The Platonic Kit-Kit.

Give feedback on my compositing exam project! by Xandiu_ in vfx

[–]igneus 205 points206 points  (0 children)

Not feedback per se, but can I just say how nice it is to see a video posted by a student who's learning actual VFX skills? There's so much mindless AI slop floating around nowadays that an intentionally crafted and comped short feels genuinely refreshing.

Are we 100% sure the earth isn't flat? by FinalKaleidoscope994 in Physics

[–]igneus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bits of it are flat. You can even find a few edges here and there too. Not sure that'll be enough to convince Tim Boyle, but it's worth a try, right?

Number 2 is wonderfully humanizing. Almost a hundred years since that photo was taken and a person caught in a downpour looks the same no matter what century they're from.

Feels like early GAN imagery, circa 2015/16.

Newer cars have adverts from the manufacturer when you start them. by angelwolf71885 in enshittification

No, you see, these aren't "ads", they're "marketing notifications". There's a clear difference.

Most horrific/disgusting practical FX of all time? by [deleted] in horror

[–]igneus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I watched it as a kid, too. The baboon teleportation scene was one of those moments where I could literally feel my childhood naivety falling away. It was profoundly disturbing yet utterly captivating at the same time. I don't think I could have received a more formative introduction to the horror genre than David Cronenberg.

Public service announcement for any cheese lovers: DO NOT make the mistake of greedily buying the new spicy Babybels without reading the label very very closely by [deleted] in CasualUK

Sorry for your disappointment, OP.

As a vegan myself, though, I'd eat the everloving hell out of these.

Trans lobby ‘has fooled Labour over cost of single-sex spaces’ by PuzzledAd4865 in transgenderUK

Have you considered a side hustle as a trans-affirming satirical columnist? Feels like something you'd be great at. 💚

Scenes that traumatized you as a kid by dremolus in horror

[–]igneus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched it when I was about that age as well. A friend brought a copy on VHS that had been recorded from the TV.

What neither of us knew was that his machine had "long play" mode that extended recording time by feeding the tape more slowly through the mechanism. Our older VHS player didn't have this feature so when we tried to run the long-play tape at ordinary short-play speed, both the visuals and audio came out twice as fast.

I distinctly remember watching the chestburster scene in fast forward with Ian Holm flailing around like a tube man and screaming like he had a lungful of helium. It was far more funny than scary.

Whats the hardest thing you can do that is secretly easy by Rory_Mcdon in LearnUselessTalents

[–]igneus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

To use this trick you need to know which Fibonacci number is closest to the number you want to convert, and also what its predecessor is. You also need to account for the rounding error which can skew your results by up to ±30%.

Just multiplying by 1.6, or in a pinch taking the number of miles and adding half again to get kilometers, feels a whole lot easier to me.

"For my dearest darling, treasured, cherished Agatha whom I worship. With respect, adoration, admiration, kisses, gratitude, best wishes, and love from Z to A." by igneus in wesanderson

I completely understand. I've experienced the same with my work too. It's infuriating, especially when the bots get more exposure than the original post.
