Fear of how the cartoon genie will interpret it lmao.

Dress as a scientist with a labcoat, and build something really quickly by pulling tools out of nowhere as a giant cloud of steam covers up what I’m doing, revealing a giant scientific looking device that is labeled “restore normal laws of physics for everyone except me”. Push the button. Now I am the only one running on cartoon logic. I have hopefully prevented others from destroying the Earth by exploding giant bombs or whatever. Or racists from coming up with a “kill all non-white people” virus. Or a variety of other horrors.

Then do things like build an anti-corruption ray and fire it at major government buildings. Panacea-ray to be given to hospitals. Climate-change regulation machine. Etc. Lots of different rays lmao.

Come up with plan to reduce suffering in the universe and harness cartoon physics into technology without someone being able to exploit this awesome power for evil. Do not do this alone. Gather others. Watch cartoons for ideas. Think this bs through a lot more.

I think I’d build a time-stopping device with immunity necklaces to place around the necks of the smartest and most compassionate people on Earth (which I’d use another tracking device to find) to give everybody time to think through ideas on what to do. That way everyone in the hospitals could stop dying while we think through ideas, giving us time to save them. Probably end up giving others the cartoon physics power after building a device to find the best candidates for the responsibility, and shooting them with the anti-corruption ray.

Probably shoot MYSELF with the anti-corruption ray to keep myself from going insane with power.

Fix the world, then later, fix the universe. End involuntary suffering. End involuntary death for those who do not wish to die. Fix entropy. Have fun forever.

Go to where the audiophiles are. There are plenty of headphones and IEMs (earbuds) under $50 (and even $25) that sound fantastic and sound better than $200 dollar options out there. My favs that I actually tried are the MOONDROP Chu 2 $23, Koss KSC75 $20, and the Sennheiser HD 600 (which I got on eBay for like $250). Check out the audiophile subreddit, there are plenty of people who have made ranking lists.

I literally thought you meant Bandcamp gets to keep all the revenue on Bandcamp Fridays lmao

Basically because she was a child and their egos were hurt that a child would dare to criticize them.

How is your husband now? I can’t believe how many people you pulled back from the abyss. Does fighting them on everything actually work?

Even though I like the theme because of how corny and thus hilarious it is, I have to agree with you.

[–] lenz@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

This seems like a stupendously bad idea on its face. Haven’t they heard of Murphy’s Law?

To answer your question, there have been apps like this for men… but they keep getting taken down after users start posting revenge porn.

I made an account on this thing to lurk, bc obviously who wouldn’t be curious? I guess I’m screwed now. Rip.

So I once came across this little puzzle, and I’ve been hungry for more ever since:


There are 500 bricks in an airplane. While it’s flying, one brick falls out of the airplane. How many bricks are left in the plane?499


What are the three steps to putting a giraffe in a refrigerator?Step 1: Open the fridge. Step 2: Put the giraffe inside. Step 3: Close the fridge.


What are the four steps to putting an elephant in a refrigerator?Step 1: Open the fridge. Step 2: Take the giraffe out. Step 3: Put the elephant inside. Step 4: Close the fridge.


The Lion King is having a birthday party. Every animal in the kingdom shows up except for one. Who is it, and why?The elephant, because he’s stuck in the fridge.


An old lady wants to cross a river. A local man tells her that the river is infested with crocodiles, and that if she tries to cross, she’ll surely be eaten and die. Despite this, she swims across and gets to the other side safely. Why was she able to do this?Because the crocodiles are all at the Lion King’s birthday party.


After the old lady safely crosses the river, she suddenly dies. Why?A brick fell on her!


I’ve been looking for more questions like this for years with no luck. Have y’all got any more puzzles like this? Make me think laterally!

 

I just got into EDC/flashlights literally today, so here I was checking out Zak's amazing list of flashlights (which is incidentally how I found this lemmy community, thanks Zak!). I noticed the pricing disparity between the price on Zak's list ($27 USD) and the current amazon price ($32.99 USD), so I was a bit confused.

Apparently the Wurkkos FC11 frequently goes on sale near the end of every month! Now I gotta wait lol. Probably a good idea to wait anyway. This would've been a total impulse-buy on my part.

I wish a spreadsheet existed where you could sort by model/lumens/pricing/etc. I find those way easier to search through than any kind of article. Does such a spreadsheet exist? If anyone has any, please share!
