I yearn for a future where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned

@DavidHeadPhd @DrChrisGrocott Why would you even add a citation to something that doesn't have to do with your point? I mean surely to quote or paraphrase from it you had to have read it, and if you didn't do that why would you cite it in the first place?

@DrChrisGrocott It's not even that you should have read everything. You just need to check that it's real!

Academic Twitter is having a meltdown because some people have just learned that you should actually read the sources you cite. This really shouldn't be as controversial as it appears to be.

Every once awhile I remember this and say it in my head and giggle quietly to myself

@TwoToneShoes Power scaling should be what you do when you smoke a blunt and ask "would King Kong beat Darth Vader in a fight" to get some laughs from the group and if you take it any more serious than that you're doing it wrong imo

Power scaling is the act of taking characters from narratives and stripping them of the narrative to impose the things they do onto a stat sheet, and then comparing those stat sheets to other characters you did the same thing with. This is not a part of the narrative process.

@erotomanes Aura

why do quantum computers look like that

@braggnikreverse My goat Pikasprey did a novel challenge run trying to beat Pokemon blue with just one ditto and now there's an entire channel dedicated to trying to beat Pokemon with just one single pokemon (like Pidgey, or even Mewtwo wow) and it's like "can I do it?" "Yeah, probably."

they ran out of interesting challenge runs to make videos about years ago and now theyre just making vids you see and go "yeah probably" and dont click on

I worry I may have done some damage to my vocal chords that is irreparable, due to lifestyle choices that have plagued me for years. I worry it'll never be the same and I may not be able to sing like I did. But I'll see with a doctor.

@alestate2020 Is there a Mr. iPIPI?

Incredible thinks happening over at Facebook

@CaptainThrack You did it!!!

Why can’t I tweet

@blastiquen @CometX_ing I work in audio, it really sounds half-baked at best, like he recorded in his bathroom and whatever their solution is makes him sound like he's in a completely different space than everybody else on screen at worst. It is not a good "robot" filter.

@blastiquen @CometX_ing My first thought was "oh it's a pilot and Schlatt doesn't have a good setup" to "oh... is he supposed to sound like a robot? They could have done a better job with that." And that's been my feeling sense. Sometimes the inconsistent room reflection still makes me think the former

I genuinely have no clue how people think Jschlatt just has a bad mic. He’s voicing a robot, of course it’s an added effect.

@amfurney @neetrockstar Fifths* frequently* dumb speech to text

@amfurney @neetrockstar The historical context for parallel fits sounding bad was actually because it's very limiting in four-part harmony, specifically in a SATB configuration, once writing got away from that specific musical context people didn't care and use them frequency as a layer of consonance

Why did it take like two millennia to invent the powerchord. Why did something like weezer not exist during the byzantine empire

@AdachiHints Those arrows must have hurt coming out

Just threw this up in the work toilet. No one cares. As usual

If I had a genie and wished to get a bunch of money do you think the fed would come down on me thinking I got it illegally and I would just go to jail

@M_Raichous @CometX_ing If that was their intent I don't think they went far enough. Iron Giant is an example of a good, echoey and tinny voice filter. It's easy enough to do. most of the time it just sounds like Schlatt is in a different room than everybody else in the scene.

@Chromypone @CometX_ing It still sounds like a robotic voice, just of a different kind Kaboodle is hollow on the inside, it makes sense he'd sound echoy and tinny

@CometX_ing I and many people did not. I quite literally did think it was Schlatt recording with a bad mic because it's a bad job sounding like anything but a tinny poor quality mic. I'm sure it was intentional but the reason people are talking is that it really wasn't intentional enough

@Chromypone I clocked it immidiately. Like no, its not the same old metalic filter people are used to, but it’s still clearly meant to be a robotic voice.

Okay I get it X, the Everything App

@ChequyLion @UltraNosk If that was their goal then they really need to go listen to like, any example of sound design done to sound robotic for a voice in the last 2 decades cause right now it just sounds like he's recording on a cheap USB microphone in an untreated room

@UltraNosk It's a filter to make him sound robotic. It's very clearly an artistic choice since he's the hollow robot character. Genuinely not sure how anyone thinks it's a technical error. Nor how anyone finds the pacing too hard to follow or finds the designs salacious Every post I see:

I can’t tell if this is a creative choice or if they didn’t give Jschlat an actual voice acting set up

@mglxmiau I don't think those are overlapping groups of people

mfs be like "I hate ai!! It's killing the planet!!!" and then go roleplay with evil ai™
