*grumble* dodo…

for context she was very surprised that I was using my alarm (I usually don’t use it)

I always loved when they scratched their little head with their little feetsies

this is peak shitposting

Saw a YouTube video yesterday of a sim racer hobbiest that spent upwards of $700+ on literally just a wheel, shifter, petals, etc. Like not even the seat or computer or monitor or anything. Literally JUST the wheel parts.

Which is crazy but I have no way to complain as I’ve spent like 1,000 on my computer setup at least even excluding the actual PC.

Then there’s Steam…

* note I bought 2 steamdecks in that time and my account is like 4 years old

I want a water bear as a pet so bad but the fact that they’re microscopic might be an issue

but what if I want one 🥺

I want an ipod 2

well it IS called !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world

I can definitely see why it would be harder than the real thing. Also didn’t know that existed, link (NSFW) pretty cool.

glances at my 300 hours of OldSchool Runescape

His PR got confusingly bad recently. He went from someone that was a bit cringe but nobody hates to someone who has done a lot of good but still has an employee that was accused of sexual assault*.

What’s the next thing to do to to save face? Start a brand with ‘suicide forest’ Logan Paul and ‘Thick of it’ KSI.

I don’t get it, he had such a good thing going where he got essentially unlimited views.

• tbh I don’t really keep updated with popular celebrities details might be off, the last time I watched Mr beast was the Insane Asylum one 5 years ago.

try something from the scripts section on here:

DONT use the “I Don’t Care About Cookies” plugin. It was sold to Avast. The same company that stole users information and sold it ON A PRIVACY PRODUCT illegally for years causing them to get sued for 16 million. (slap on the wrist tbh)

Shouting into the void is how most platforms are tbh.

In order of bad to good:

Tumblr:

Twitter: (doesn’t scale well but there are a ton more that have 0)

Pinterest: I made 1 post and it got 0 likes.

YouTube: pretty good actually

Reddit: the best, can’t include image bc I deleted my account but made a meme and it got ~3,000 upvotes

related video of pokies workers ‘confessing their sins’ aka telling stories of the worst things they saw, very similar to the story in the post:

(btw pokies is an Australian slang word for gambling machine)

sounds like 10 year old me on the family PC capping my fps at 20 because I couldn’t tell the difference between 20 and 40 and it was annoying having it jump around lol

Surprised nobody has mentioned a computer yet, so mine is going from a $200 dell optiplex I saved up for to a ~$3,000 gaming rig my parents convinced the government to buy me.
The government had a $5,000 thing to parents with autistic children (diagnosed before the age of 10) and they could spend it on stuff that would help the child. They had to fight tooth and nail to convince them that it would let me play games with my friends (a total lie, I only played Minecraft and terraria then). They surprised me with it on my birthday I think 5 years ago and it was AMAZING.

I’ve spent nearly every dollar I’ve earned in the past 5 years improving my setup and game library.

Oh. And a high quality Bluetooth mouse. I used a Glorious Model O (for Minecraft 1.8 pvp) since it came out and used it till the battery only lasts a day or two, also I wanted more buttons. Only 6 months ago have I switched to a g502x and I went like 3 weeks without charging it. Its amazing.

Do it.

If elon can change the breaking for Full Self Driving, he can disable brakes. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn if some people figure out how to backdoor a Tesla and disable breaks. Companies are horrible at securing data and with elons fire 50% of employees mentality I wouldn’t be surprised if the cybersecurity people get overworked/mess up one day

Oh that’s rad! Wonder if the amount of public areas in cities could relate to have more vending machines. The closest city to me doesn’t have a lot of public spaces.
