What have you learned today?

[Dalisclock]

This has probably been posted before but I finally got around to watching it.


What the fuck did I just watch? I mean, it's strangely fascinating despite being 80 min of talking about the most inoffensive yet strangely popular comic strip, possibly in human history, mostly because of some of the fucking weirdos and nightmare fetishists in the fanbase...I mean, I assume they're fans. I honestly have no fucking idea at this point. I mean, I don't know what to say because it'a a video that kinda defies explanation. LIke I didn't know half this shit existed and I kinda wish I didn't know it now. Especially the whole Pasta Cat post-modernist nightmare horror....thing. SEW did a wonderful job, it's the the people turning Garfield into cosmic horror/existential dread that I'm more concerned about.

Maybe it's the generic boy band heartthrob look but 1990s David Beckham would've made a great Leon S. Kennedy.

And fuck it, throw in Victoria as Ada Wong too.

New car feature has led to thieves drilling vehicles for gas

Some thieves are drilling into people’s gas tanks to steal their gas, AAA warns.

Im not sure what a “new car feature” has to do with it, but I guess I’m glad my car wouldn’t be a prime target.

Shantae: Risky's Revenge is 172 MB on the PS5, but on a 66 GB Blu-ray disc. It can only play 66 and 100 GB game discs, apparently.

Relatedly, Chris Rock can take a slap like a boss.

Today I learned that Sean Astin (Samwise Gamgee from The Lord of the Rings films) is the son of the legendary actress Patty Duke, and John Astin (Gomez from the original Addams Family television show) is his adoptive father.

Okay, so why are Teslas allowed? Every new thing I learn is bad

One of the best, most relevant lines to come out of Hollywood in decades: "Your scientist were so preoccupied with whether or not the could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

I can appreciate the auto industry gravitating towards electric vehicles; that's necessary. But the whole automation part boggles my mind. Humans aren't perfect, but to take an act as dangerous as driving and put it solely in the hands of AI, no rails attached, is something I won't be comfortable with for years to come. One guy types "0" where he meant to type "1," next thing you know, I'm blowing through red lights or rear-ending a school bus at 60mph. I always thought the machines would take control; never thought we'd be actively giving it to them, nay, insisting they take it from us.

Yeah, I'll keep my outdated, analog cars for as long as they stick around.

Today I learned that the actor Martin Kosleck- who played Soviet agent Basil Marko in the classically bad movie Agent for H.A.R.M.- had previously played a similar role, Mirko, in the far better Sherlock Holmes film Pursuit to Algiers alongside Basil Rathbone. And now I wonder if the name Basil had been chosen as a tribute.

Mountain goats are fairly easy prey for birds of prey (kind of graphic) -

Mountain lions are fairly easy prey for birds of prey (kind of graphic) -

Your sentence had me really intrigued; never thought apex predators like mountain lions had to worry about avian predators. Then I watched the video; you meant goats, obviously, but that's still fucked up, like some straight up evil shit. Makes sense it's the bird that represents our nation.

D’oh, that was a big brain fart on my part. Fixed, thanks.

I was expecting some feather on fur, fair fight to the death kinda violence, then I just saw a poor goat casually tossed to its death to be casually consumed by 'Murica. You've made my day very sad.

Gotta wonder what went through the goat’s limited mind in that loooong free fall. Like, pretty sure even it knew it’d be lights out whenever it made contact with earth again.

Not my bag, but I'm certain there's some furry snuff stuff on the dark web somewhere. People are sick.

Pretty sure that goat's last thought was "well, THIS is fucked up, but nothing I can do about it now." Then he probably put up the the metal devil's horns and exclaimed he regretted nothing. At least that's what I've deluded myself into believing for that poor animal. Reality is, it was probably more along the lines of "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

If I hated myself I could probably find some Falco/Fox porn of that persuasion in under 10 minutes.
