@uniquemoviemom Never underestimate an old man in a profession where you die young

Oliver thinking Conquest was weak because he was old will always be funny to me

@Cheesebrackers I wish they ended up going the route of Bowser Jr existing solely bc Bowser wished upon a star at the Star Festival, not implying Bowser had someone before and now has eyes on Peach after dropping his kid(s) off at boarding school for some arbitrary reason.

The baby bowser jr scene legit made me bawl my eyes out HE’S SO LITTLE. HE WAS JUST BORN.

@ShitpostRock2 Nah it’s good. It just def does stick out compared to C418. I have some of the newer tracks on my playlists, even tho C418 reigns supreme still. Just don’t trash the newer music by default. It’s different but not terrible.

The new music fucking sucks and sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the old music. I don't care who made it, it's awful and i mod it out when i play

@PatheticBump I saw this as a kid, and frankly, I must’ve been too innocent cause this didn’t click for me until like the last year or so of my life.

I gave this a watch and OH MY GOD ???

@LiquidGoth I love how that ended up doing nothing but wasting his time since he got the one life, but then immediately died for it, just wasting his time in the end lol

top 5 clips in gaming

@aakashgupta Ok but like where did a lobster emoji come up in all this, that’s a wilting rose

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild. He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed. When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them. Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate. The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions. Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement. The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean. That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

@DudespostingWs How do you keep a hat on a dog like that, I feel like it should’ve fallen off when it bowed its head

Golden Retriever wearing a hat went viral devouring a full hot dog at the ballpark. Dude was in heaven

@anishmoonka And now I guarantee that they’ve already got a better one in storage somewhere.

Your heart puts out a magnetic pulse with every beat, so faint you'd need a shielded room the size of an apartment to even detect it. The CIA just used that pulse to find a wounded man hiding inside a mountain in Iran. The tool is called Ghost Murmur. The way it works: certain atoms, when you hit them with a laser, become sensitive to magnetic fields. Sensitive enough to pick up the tiny magnetic ripple your heart creates each time it beats. Ghost Murmur then runs that signal through AI to filter out everything else, the Earth's own magnetism, electronics, vehicles, other people nearby, until one heartbeat is left. Skunk Works built it. That's Lockheed Martin's secretive weapons lab, the same team behind the SR-71 spy plane and the first stealth fighter. Lockheed had already been developing quantum magnetic sensors since at least 2019 through a program called Dark Ice, a device the size of a salt shaker that uses a synthetic diamond to pick up magnetic fields. Ghost Murmur has been tested on Black Hawk helicopters and could eventually fly on the F-35. This was its first real-world use. An American F-15E fighter jet got shot down over southwestern Iran on April 3rd. Two crew members ejected. The pilot was rescued within hours, but the second crew member, a colonel who runs the jet's weapons systems, landed deeper in the mountains with a sprained ankle. For nearly two days he hid in a crevice in the Zagros mountain range while hundreds of Iran's Revolutionary Guard soldiers hunted for him. Nomadic tribesmen combed the hills carrying rifles. A regional governor posted a $60,000 bounty for his capture. The CIA fed false intelligence into Iran saying the American had already been recovered and was being moved out by ground. While Iranian forces chased that ghost, Ghost Murmur found the real one. The Pentagon had a heartbeat detector before this, a prototype from 2019 called Jetson. Jetson shot an infrared laser at someone's skin and measured the tiny vibrations from their pulse. It topped out at 200 meters (about two football fields), needed the target sitting perfectly still for 30 seconds, and failed through anything thicker than a t-shirt. Ghost Murmur works on a different principle. Magnetic fields pass through rock, clothing, and human tissue without weakening. Same reason an MRI machine can photograph your brain without cracking open your skull. The rescue used 155 aircraft. Armed drones hit Iranian soldiers who got within about 2 miles of the airman. Bombs cratered roads to block ground convoys. Special operations teams pulled him out at night under heavy fire. Two large cargo planes and four helicopters took so much damage that American forces blew them up on the ground rather than let Iran get the equipment. A senior U.S. official called it "the ultimate needle in a haystack." A wounded man wedged inside a mountain, invisible to every camera and heat sensor in the sky, found by the one signal he couldn't turn off.

@RealEmirHan It’s just not as deep as people think it is bc that’s kinda the OPPOSITE of what happened

Still blows my mind Steve Buscemi delivered the deepest line of all time in a kids movie

@dinym @IT_unhinged I’ve learned that the hard way. NEVER extract a file straight onto the desktop. Always do it in a separately made folder for clarity’s sake and neatness.

Bahhaha! This reminds me of the time a friend panicked and called me because her “computer had a virus.” Turns out she’d downloaded an app and extracted it straight onto her desktop. The whole screen was suddenly flooded with random files — it looked like her monitor had come down with a nasty case of digital chickenpox 😂

Just watched a guy sprint across the office to my desk. He's panting. Tells me he has an absolutely critical meeting in five minutes and his presentation file is completely corrupted. I brace myself for a complex file recovery. I open his laptop. He hasn't opened any software. He's staring at his desktop wallpaper. I ask where the file is. He points at the screen and yells that it is gone. His desktop icons are hidden. He accidentally right-clicked and unchecked show desktop icons. I check it. The icons reappear. He gasps like I just performed a miracle. I asked if he had a ticket for this. He said no, he didn't have time. I made him stand there for three minutes while I logged a ticket on his behalf, categorized it as User Education, and marked it resolved. Never let a good crisis go untracked.

@UglyDuckling97 @DeveloperHarris Time to put up a new one

don't worry this will be the flag of space

@TheCriticalDri2 “For every one, as I think, must see that astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.” — Plato’s “The Republic,” Book VII

Some people genuinely think like this and believe that's a good thing.

@ArmoredNorman @PalmyrPar Haha basically. Except the descriptions are hard to follow cause they make it sound like the islands keep rising up and drifting away day to day.

@PalmyrPar This is what Venus was supposed to look like in C.S. Lewis's "Pearlandra"

The first Soviet missions to Venus genuinely believed it would be like this underneath the cloud cover btw

@DoctorLemma Frankly, I think it’s best when cut off, it’s funnier that way. Like, instead of hearing the whole cry, I like hearing just “LES DO THIS, LEEROY-“

20 years ago, a man screamed his own name into a microphone and ruined everything. It became one of the most famous moments in internet history.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ A group of players in an online game called World of Warcraft had spent several minutes planning a complicated raid. Timing, positioning, survival odds. One player calculated their chances of success at 32.33 percent, repeating. The whole time, one of their teammates wasn’t listening. He’d stepped away from his computer to reheat some chicken. When he came back, he ignored everything, screamed his character’s name at the top of his lungs, and charged straight into the fight alone. Everyone followed him in. They all died in seconds. “Leeroy, you are just stupid as hell.” “At least I have chicken.” The clip spread across the internet before “going viral” was even a phrase. It was referenced in South Park, How I Met Your Mother, and an article in a military journal. The game’s developer added the character as an official figure inside the game. His name became shorthand for anyone who ruins a plan by doing something reckless. The whole thing was staged. The group admitted years later it was a scripted re-enactment of something that had actually happened. The cameraman said: “We didn’t think anyone would believe it was real. We thought it was so obviously satire.” The player behind Leeroy Jenkins is a guy named Ben Schulz. He repairs industrial lighting for a living.

@TheLunarSurfer @IMAO_ Sputnik Planitia, my beloved favorite feature of Pluto aside from Cthulhu Macula

@IMAO_ How many times does humanity get this kind of big planetary reveal? It’s the opposite of Pluto - New Horizons exposed a giantic heart taking up half the visible surface!

It still makes me laugh thinking of when mankind first saw the far side of the moon, hoping to see cool new things, but nothing was there. Everything interesting was on the side we could already see.

@destiny_thememe There is no secret ingredient? It’s just you?

@A_dmg04 Does Gnawing Hunger count as Gambit gear? That’s been one of my fav guns ever but it’s obv mega outclassed today. Having that come back as a beast would be incredible.

Raids and Dungeons to get tiered rewards in June. Any Gambit gear you’d want to see? No fools. Real Q. Gear only at this time. Activity changes not in the cards atm.
