@Gray_Wolf97 So how long have you guys been brainwashed into thinking mix racing is good?

@electronluke @big_pedestrian I hate this weird rural elitism where people think residents of cities don't know what farms are and think food magically appears in grocery stores.
English
@big_pedestrian The purpose of gardening in a city is to demonstrate where food comes from.
English
Oh. My. God. Gardening in a city is like having an urban horse: a very expensive, land and labor intensive hobby. If you are going urban garden it should be things that you can't get in the store and don't ship well. Think berries and rare/fancy tomatoes.
No root crops. Period.

Growing turnips just doesn't seem like a great use of land in Manhattan so close to multiple subway lines?

@hyunnie_hunny @1followernodad What are the words "the fact that" doing in that sentence?
English
@1followernodad "nobody uses that" 😭😭😭 the fact that most writers may it be novels or short stories love to use the em dash for its dramatic effect lol
English
did no one read things before chatGPT? Because every writer I know loooooves the em dash
doxie@doxie_gay
an easy tell if someone uses chatgpt is if they use the long dash (—) nobody uses that

My controversial take on this: some historic neighborhoods should be exempt from new housing requirements within their borders. Menlo-Artherton is a breathtakingly beautiful neighborhood. And I, a non-billionaire, would be sad if it was filled with Section 8 ghetto buildings. Instead, I think Menlo-Atherton should be able to fulfill its density and new housing requirements by building that housing elsewhere, in places where density makes more sense. Basically, you should be able to buy and sell your "dense new housing" credits, and build them elsewhere.

Almost a year ago today, Steph Curry submitted a letter opposing 16 townhouses being built near his home.

@who_shot_jgr I'm doing my part, by melting down all the agricultural tools I can find into pig iron

ok guys i think i figured it out here's how trump can restore american dominance in manufacturing while keeping the tariffs in place
step 1: send every american household a bridgeport model 1 milling machine and a steady supply of billets
step 2: ???
step 3: REINDUSTRIALIZATION

@Acid_Communist @magne_toes There's a guy who makes oil paintings of snack foods like this and redditors think it's the funniest thing ever
English
Honestly maybe the guy who paints uncrustables sandwiches in this pseudo "Renaissance" style that's actually just sloppy brush strokes with a brown background should be automated out of a career.

@BrettUngashick @colinbodayle Imagining in the middle of Capital he randomly stops and says: "Do not rob the poor. I know you want to, but that's bad actually."
English
@colinbodayle This mostly just proves kids don’t know how to read anymore because the two texts are stylistically completely different

@ShamsHanfe @slime_machine Tf makes something "technically" a stick? We don't even have an exact definition of tree, how can we be so confident about stick?
English
@danb841 @MattZeitlin That was a hypothetical idea someone had, so they did the math to prove that it couldn't happen. It was never "established theory" that a nuke would ignite the atmosphere.
English
@ABorealis2931 @MattZeitlin The unique aspect of the atomic bomb isn’t that no one did the math. It’s that the established theory at the time was that one nuke would chain react in the sky and destroy the atmosphere. And also no one applied disparate theories like Oppenheimer.
English
What’s the best example of something that doesn’t work in theory but does work in practice
English
@StampTheVisa @Karl_Was_Right They also have more solar panels and are building more nuclear reactors than anywhere on earth. Chinas just a really big country.
English
China also has more people than the entire “developed world” combined. Why is the developed world entitled to produce a disproportionate amount of CO2 and waste?
James Melville 🚜@JamesMelville
China emits more CO2 than the entire developed world combined. But hey, let’s blame cow burps and wood burners in the UK.
English
@danb841 @MattZeitlin The atomic bomb is a wild example for the point you're trying to make. You don't think anyone did any math in between first splitting the atom and the Trinity test?
English
@MattZeitlin Every scientific advancement in history. Solid rocket fuel, the atomic bomb, airplanes etc didn’t adhere to theories or were problematic to even consider. And then some crazy person tried it without understanding the math and it worked. It’s the one constant in the world.
English
@esjesjesj Just as a comparison. Valhalla's credits were only 40 minutes long. And Mirage was 50. A simple 10 minute gap between them. Meaning Shadows added about an hour and 10 minutes of credits between games.
English
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel of what counts as woke now
Stuttering Craig (Official)@StutteringCraig
Here it is. All 2 HOURS or Assassin's Creed Shadows credits. I just want to repeat that the credits are over TWO HOURS.

Imagine framing the closing of *an oceanfront highway that will be replaced with a park* like this.
What car companies have done to the American brain will be studied by social scientists for centuries.
SFGATE@SFGate
San Francisco said farewell Friday to a section of its prized oceanside boulevard, the Great Highway. The city is getting a park in its place, which is scheduled to open in April, but not everyone is happy with the trade.
