It's a teleportation device.

That'll happen after a solid meatspinning. Merry-go-rounds can be pretty dangerous too if you're not careful.

Not sure I love that definition, a dog walk should be relaxing and enjoyable for all involved parties.

Sure. Is that person in your photo related to the question?

That's not her, it's an im-pasta!

"...scientists are confident it could improve if we teach it to feel pain."

There's a sci-fi horror movie begging to be made out of this. Add in some self-replicating nanotech to perform monitoring, maintenance and command/control functions but due to some technobabble during the inciting incident, it starts "gray goo"-ing the facility into more growth media and food. The good news is that we taught it to feel pain, bad news is now it intends to return the favor.

Rude. I have a name, you know.

I want to believe that the kids mentioned in posts like this are playing along with their parents' delusions so they don't have to sit through another lecture about how the Federal Reserve is a Ponzi scheme and they're chemtrailing us with fluoride.

A wild backhoe appears!

You love them so much that you just have to own them.

Good, fuck off. He can find a new job where he's not expected to treat his fellow humans with the respect they deserve. Being wrong about the nature of reality doesn't grant the right to be an asshole even if they sincerely believe that it should.

 

I was in the middle of something in another room and it occurred to me that this familiar expression could be adapted for ADHD: A watched pot never catches fire. Good reminder to exercise a little extra caution in the everyday tasks that get boring but are still dangerous if you get complacent. Driving, cooking, poking around in a running computer with screwdriver even though you know you should shut it off, that sort of thing.

Now if you'll excuse me, I should get back to cooking breakfast before the "food is done" alarms start going off throughout the building.

User @[email protected] (Soraya Pepe) is advertising a forum service as well as a booking site where you can order donuts* that they'll deliver to your hotel room. They are using bit.ly links to obscure links to their forum topics in community sidebars as well. These communities are [email protected] and [email protected].

Donuts*Probably not donuts.

 

@[email protected] has created 80+ communities here, most of which are empty save for a "Looking for moderators" post. Some have 0-3 posts which are nearly all from the creator and a couple have some regular user activity.

I recognize that this may not be against the rules as long as it's not simply for the purpose of squatting on a name but is worth observing for future developments. It does not appear that this user intends to actively moderate since they're looking to hand those communities off as soon as they're created.
