today on “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” knockoffs: Hella Bewust, found in a Dutch grocery store.”Bewust” means to be aware of something

voidshaper,

@0xabad1dea my first impulse was to translate Bewust with woke in this instance

Amsterdam relocation status: a ghostly old man appeared at my door, told me he’d been in the building for forty years, and informed when I can put bulky trash by the curb, where I can catch a free bus to the shopping center, where the nearest hospital is and that I will henceforth be receiving his newsletter

voidshaper,

@0xabad1dea Zashiki-warashi? Or maybe a Heinzelmann, given the location?

DOMi & Louis Cole
fine stuff

voidshaper,

@mcc lol yes! If you haven't, check his bands KNOWER and for an extra dose of weird, Clown Core.

DOMi's stuff is always worth a listen, she plays with JD Beck currently (another wiz on drums, but very different from Cole)

voidshaper,

@mbr @mcc well, it's been an hour so I can gently forward you to Nate Smith lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZKpAPpHm2Q

I am on a BUS

I am going to a place called STRATFORD

I am going to a SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL

That's Stratford in ONTARIO

It is some sort of JOKE

However it is by all accounts THE BEST SHAKESPEARE IN ONTARIO

I had to get up at NINE AM to catch the BUS and I am AGITATED

It is making me type in CAPITAL LETTERS

I am going to see KING LEAR

And also RENT

Apparently RENT was written by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

voidshaper,

@mcc my brain read this as out loud to me in a weird mixture of vine booms and Beastie Boys

Best superpower? You must try...

voidshaper,

@Nifflas I tried Surströmming, and have to say I'm not a fan. Usually I'm fine with fermented food- some of them are def favorites. Gochujiang, Kimchi, Miso, Sauerkraut.. I even use the super stinky fermented shrimp paste for thai curries, although I wouldn't eat it raw.

Still want to try Durian, Stinky Tofu, and Natto.

Mario 64 120 star leaderboard is about to get hit with a friggin meteor

For context: Find someone who knows a lot about Mario 64 and ask them to explain this to you. I am so tired

voidshaper,

@mcc Just two weeks ago Niftski shaved off 167 milliseconds from his previous WR. It's insane how there is still wiggle room for those popular speedrun games, and even new skips like this happen.

Hello to the team of people resolutely walking down the neck-deep canal instead of swimming. I imagine it’s an endurance exercise but y’all look like an undead invasion

Can anyone tell me what type of spider this is? It reminds me of a Black Widow, but it's brown. It and its siblings were feasting on caterpillars in a storage container that I need to clean out.

Sorry the photos aren't that great - I was looking around for more 😅


Brown spider with long, angular legs and a round body.

voidshaper,

@_ohcoco_ late reply, but my guess would be steatoda triangulosa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangulate_cobweb_spider

voidshaper,

@_ohcoco_ coloration can vary quite a bit. I had one in the bathroom a while ago that was very pale, almost greenish.

Just woke up from a nap with a dream that featured a book of 'James Beckett', a fictional 16th century literary critic the internet made up and who was wrong about everything.

Immediately googled him after waking and discovered he is - alas - only a figment of my imagination. Which is tragic because I was laughing my ass off in my dream.

voidshaper,

@mcc Yes! Somehow the stacked made-upness elevated the whole thing.

Country X: Let's establish an economy where you work two jobs for the compensation of half a job.

Country X (20 years later): Our birth rates are dropping, and nobody knows why.

voidshaper,

@Nifflas Amazingly this worked and now I have two new pholcidae and a camera-shy male hunting spider I can't ID.

Best superpower? A movie about your life is made and it's wildly popular. Some say it's the directors' best work. The movie is very loosely based on reality. Extremely loosely.

Who will direct it?

voidshaper,

@Nifflas voted Coens but really it's David Lynch & Alejandro Jodorowsky

I'm gonna be stuck on an island 6 hours. It has a cafe and a forest. Give me quests! I'll complete as many as I can!

voidshaper,

@Nifflas Take a picture of a plant and an animal you haven't seen before.

Audio people!

We have a word for changing pitch without affecting speed (pitch shift)

We have one for changing speed without affecting pitch (time stretch)

But that is the word for changing pitch and speed together? You know, the simplest technique.

voidshaper,

@Nifflas I'd go with playback speed (historically: tapes) or playback rate (current: bitrate) or if you want to be cute RPM (records)

voidshaper,

@Nifflas hmm. "Increasing / decreasing sample rate" might be the most unambiguous, unfortunately it's a specific operation that might lead to confusion if you just want it as an effect.

say hello to dalmatian crow

(or I guess this is a jackdaw? too much quartz?)

voidshaper,

@0xabad1dea I think it's a jackdaw with leucism. Very pretty!

I googled the word “sphragistic” and Merriam-Webster jumped in like “the mere fact you would ever look up this specific word means you need our premium dictionary content”

voidshaper,

@0xabad1dea It's funny because I learned that word when I read a Tintin comic as a kid. Not exactly Merriam-Webster.
