the last 9 days have been fucking surreal you have no idea fam

@truedrew @chonksxyz and the game ain't over yet truey

@marka_eth @chonksxyz Amazing hide and amazing find

i just went down a rabbit hole & found an easter egg perhaps it has already discovered but as a person that hides easter eggs in a lot of my work, this was a fun revelation it started when i saw @nuclearsamurai's right click save as guy x figure - i just had to have a go at doing an xchonk we don't have a background trait category in chonks but if we did, the epic fully on-chain right click share collection from @XCOPYART + @0xDecaArt would make a dope one imho token #0 in that collection renders the full 32x32 dynamic nft - and attached is how it would look if it were somehow possible to compose with it from our l2 chonks to their l1 token (chonks are 30x30 so there's a bit of cropping alas) upon reading the contract, i noticed the use of a magic array... the first index of that array never gets called but has an usual number in it: 4152542045564552595748455245 converting that to bytes & then ascii delivers a poignant message: ART EVERYWHERE

if it were somehow possible to compose with it from our l2 chonks to their l1 token 🤔

@dpjanes @TheWiseCrow1 @PolitlcsGlobal @lemondefr that's what she said

@TheWiseCrow1 @PolitlcsGlobal @lemondefr It's always 2 seconds or never!

🚨🇫🇷 NEW: The location of the French aircraft carrier, FS Charles de Gaulle, has been given away by a sailor using Strava whilst jogging on the ship deck [@lemondefr]

@rcrngrtr @chonksxyz @backseats_eth as are we!

@marka_eth @chonksxyz @backseats_eth Cheers mate 🍻 So glad to be back and posting some Chonks!

Sweet Chonk o’ Mine [1/?] 🎩 Meet CHONKSLASH! The first of a small series of chonky art bits I’ve been quietly cooking. Little love letters to @chonksxyz and the guitar gods I grew up worshipping. All made in Chonks Studio :-) Rest of the band arriving every few days 🎸

@saintsonso i gifted my second entry to buy to a friend - he sold the nft for 32eth iirc

I always found discourse about The Currency by Damien Hirst a little bit silly. Was anyone surprised that a traditional artist using paint and paper would find their physical pieces more expensive than the *photos* of those very same physical pieces recorded as NFTs?

@typo_eth @jackbutcher @0FJAKE i'd imagine it is (hadn't seen it so ty) this is it for me: > it's more about going mental, failing a hundred different ways and getting lucky along the way

@marka_eth @jackbutcher @0FJAKE Might not be the one, but it’s a good’un.

"keep going" is a popular piece of advice. often intended to provide words of encouragement, it can be great advice, but it can also be terrible advice. it depends on the context of your situation. the well-intentioned people encouraging you to "keep going" almost never understand the context of your situation as well as you do. so, even though it is hard, you need to decide whether you believe it is actually best to "keep going" in the context of your situation, because no one else can know what is best for you better than you. but just because you have more context does not mean it is easy to know what is best. it would be easy if you could foresee with certainty the outcomes of different paths forward and then choose one. it is hard because you can't. you can never know what the future holds. and since you can't know, the best you can do is trust. in other words, you can have faith. not that if you keep going on a specific path, it will necessarily work out in the specific way that you imagine, but in something bigger than that. "believe in something" they say. it can be a religion. it can be that everything happens for a reason. it can be destiny, or something else entirely. something that helps you make choices and take actions when you can't know what's best to do, and no one else is better suited to tell you. @jackbutcher made a great visual for "keep going" (image on the left below) which shows why "keep going" can be great advice, in certain situations. i modified it to create another visual (image on the right below) which shows why "keep going" can be bad advice, in other situations. fortunately, you can't know which visual you're in. all you can do is make choices and take actions and have faith.

@jackbutcher @0FJAKE @typo_eth has an uncanny ability to find stuff

@0FJAKE wrote about it somewhere but can't find it now on any given task/track it is bad or at best lucky advice but ignoring it entirely means no new paths

@martingrasser @trameparis @ArteVeneziana @artxcode_io @sofiagarcia_io @Toni_Marinara @oddanomaly they look incredible martin 🥰

Thank you to @trameparis for this incredible collaboration. The project is still going on, we just finished producing mirror 18,19.

"Get this, I got one of the hottest artists in the space to make an edition so I can give it to the 30 people left with any money. Obviously I brokered it. And to top it off I introduced a new term, digital artist proof. They ate that sh!t up. Also Art Basel, Art basel, Art basel."

@rcrngrtr @chonksxyz @backseats_eth epic mate! love this series and my eire looks so good as a background!

@chonksxyz Mr. Rory Gallagher [6/10] The Irish blues-rock legend ☘️ The "Check Shirt Wizard" and a "working man's guitar hero", Rory was a no-ego, soft-spoken gentleman offstage, and a hurricane the moment he plugged in One of rock's greatest entertainers... still criminally undiscovered

@gami_vc @notdaine "cunny funt" is my personal fav

@notdaine there is no higher praise than the than being dubbed with the elusive “sickunt”

american mind cannot comprehend what sick cunt, dog cunt, shit cunt or mad cunt means… it’s all different

this > marry someone who builds with you, learns alongside you, and who is deeply dedicated to your growth no matter the ups and downs
