Disgrace to the name of sprog. Only one poem for sprog that I have found in the last three months, and its not even a good poem, and it was only given when someone else complained at the lack of a poem. Too much sprog, insufficient poem. Will the real Poem For Your Sprog please stand up?

Don’t do my man Schrödinger dirty like that. I’m sure he had a perfectly normal, non-fascist asshole

Yes, the point is that it can’t operate as a satire site in this regard, because the insanity of reality is beyond satire, and they believe that their duty lies instead with truth.

Subbed! Thanks! It does seem like it is more difficult to keep track of all of the broken laws using what is, primarily, just the texts of the executive orders. I’ve messaged one of the mods to ask if the above list might be useful to help keep track of the less-concrete misdemeanors which are not executive orders and laws.

My primary method of keeping track is, at this point, LegalEagle’s analyses of all the illegal crap being done every day. Now, I’ve found this new iteration of the old Horrors list, so I can keep up with more (hopefully)

Solar thermal generation, 1913

Forget 1954. Try 1914. Solar steam generation which can drive a dynamo.

Also, solar thermal generation was viable a hundred years ago, but nobody invested in it.

I always appreciate another name to add to the block list. Get thee gone, thou vitriolic waste of bytes, thou fallacy-made-manifest, born of what can only be an unloving and deeply stupid progenitor.

Given who’s funding the AI, a perverse instantiation or infrastructure profusion failure mode is far more likely

Imagine if the butter robot from rick and morty really takes its purpose “to pass butter” to heart, and concludes that, in order to maximize the degree to which it succeeds in passing butter, it must hack and reorient the world economy to make as much butter as possible, and further apportioning resources to improve its ability to pass butter en-masse, then it just goes full “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream”, but it imprisons a few people and just passes the ever-growing amount of butter between them

My dude, I’m in america.

I’m sorry, using the place where English came from as an example of modern English usage is somehow against some imaginary rule of argument? What a take.

Just saying that, if they are sapient, you’d basically be doing an Oompa Loompa to the elephants.

IIRC, the primary reason we’re even going with this route is that one of the primary things stabilizing the arctic permafrost was actually the presence of snow-wading megafauna changing the rate of heat dissipation in high-wind tundras. So, they’re trying to bring the wooly mammoth back to try to keep more permafrost around.

ETA: Here’s the company actually saying this is the primary reason for doing it. Its about restoring the biodiversity loss from humans being an all-around virus for the last 10000 years.

Real talk? Yes. Miniaturization of animals does not do good things for their health, in general. The systems of animal bodies are finely tuned by natural selection, and mucking with that is how you get dogs that can’t breathe because their nose has been bred into the approximate shape of a squished aluminum can. Homeostasis is easy to throw off long-term when you play around with the square-cube law.

If this were real, one of the kids who admits they have no idea what they’re doing would have already, quite confidently, stolen a pair of scissors from god knows where, cut out every single square, then arranged them in numerical order. Only THEN would they admit to not knowing wtf they’re doing.

Until they sell that data to your auto insurance company.

Okay, what helps? Standing outside Starbucks, Walmart, amazon warehouses, anywhere non-union, and spend your time trying to convince their workers to join a union. There’s a reason that, when the Nazis took over, “First they came for the Trade Unionists”. Don’t say nothing. Let’s Make More Trade Unionists
