  • Make Pangaea Rodinia Again

  • Tell me your favorite line from Futurama?
  • You live in the universe, but you never do these things until someone comes to visit.

  • Popes per sq km
  • Where is he buried?

    In the crypt below the basilica.

  • Are rocket propelled chainsaws credible?
  • an equal and opposite angular momentum

    Idea: contra rotating chainsaws.

  • Hear me out, a Fediverse client that mimics Nintendo's Miiverse
  • what is the Miiverse?

    It was a sort of social space Nintendo ran on the 3DS and Wii U. Kind of combination chat room and message board with a space where Miis (Nintendo avatars) could "hang out". It could also be used to send messages though games, like you could leave a message as a sort of note in Mario Maker or Splatoon. I thought it was kind of cool, tbh.

    not sure if I'm too old, too young or too poor

    It was shut down in......no. 2017 was not 7 years ago. No.

  • Valve is apparently making a Steam Controller 2
  • At least I got the backplate with the dongle storage.

    I think I missed this perk, I'm pretty sure mine doesn't have it? I'll need to look again. Either way, the dongle vanished ages ago, so I guess it's moot...

  • Arizona Chess
  • Alt text:

    Sometimes, you have to sacrifice pieces to gain the advantage. Sometimes, to advance ... you have to fall back.

  • Superman gets punished
  • chalked-full

    Well that's a new one.

  • What are your plans to replace first past the post voting in your state after the election?
  • Party A gets 40% of the vote

    Party A wins because they get the majority

    Just going to point out, 40% is not a majority. In this case they have a plurality.

  • $48 convience fee to pay rent online
  • There should be a way to pay through your banks bill pay system.

    This is what I did. For extra amusement points, my bank was literally across the street from the management office of my complex. So they were printing the checks and mailing them... Across the street.

  • Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't?
  • In many US rural areas, home internet connections have a monthly cap

    And suburban, and urban. I've never lived anywhere that didn't have a cap.

  • “I am still alive”: Users say T-Mobile must pay for killing “lifetime” price lock
  • I still have the T-Mobile G1 phone plan.

    Man that was a great phone.

    My plan isn't quite that old, but it's getting up there. They recently increased my price by a few dollars per line. Then they tried to get me to move to a current plan, which turned out to be 20% higher price for less return. I had to try not to burst out laughing at the poor guy's face.

    I've been with TMo for more than 20 years--they're the only carrier I've ever used--but if my price goes up again I'm jumping ship.

  • Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Team Disbanded After Critically Lauded Platformer Fails to Meet Expectations - Report
  • OK but did it really flop or where they expecting it to sell a morbillion units weekly?

    From another article:

    Sources say that Ubisoft was expecting The Lost Crown to sell similarly to the biggest Metroidvania’s in the market, with millions of units sold in a relatively short space of time. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has sold approximately one million units at the time of writing.

  • We need to build an Yggdrasil
  • We can't even take care of that, how could we care for an Yggdrasil?

    "Mom I want an Yggdrasil"

    "We have Yggdrasil at home"

  • Minimum wage
  • It’s wild how conservatives have been led to believe that people shouldn’t make a livable wage doing whatever job needs to be done.

    Not just conservatives. My stepdad is far from being one, but he lives in a fantasy reality where "no one in the 80s made a living or supported a family working fast food or running a register." (I paraphrased a tiny bit, but this is a near-direct quote from him.)

  • Rabbit Ring-Bearer
  • Marvin the Martian as Sauron.

    "Earth shattering kaboom" feels rather apt here.

  • How hard could it be?
  • Step 0: Invent the universe
