    Grimace has taken over McDonald's Twitter account

    I'm just stunned this tweet is so long. Since when did twitter lose its main original selling point lol.

    Song

    Both of these are great. Oh What A Beautiful Morning is such a classic. Speaking of which the opening section of this tends to make me feel like tearing up. The mood is different but it's my favourite peice of music that is strings only.

    This person does not exist: A random photo-realistic face generator

    I can see why you say yikes - maybe it is mean spirited. I think part of the fun is that the quotes with each person on the account could go with any of the other people. There's nothing tying the quote to the person's appearance, only the common trait that everyone pictured looks normal and...

    This person does not exist: A random photo-realistic face generator

    While generating some of these it really reminded me of this instagram account I found called "ordinary people memes" https://www.instagram.com/ordinarypeoplememes/ It's like this but it's not even fake people. Strange to make normal(ish) pictures the total focus of your thought.

    Should cannabis be legalized?

    Add for-profit prisons and get that good lobbyist money. Everyone wins, except all the people who don't.

    Internet Archeology: Cool Old Shit

    What I find mind blowing is that YouTube got ads for the first time in 2006, less than a year after it launched. And was bought by Google that same year. I remembered it being independent and ad-free for far longer. But I think the ads were unintrusive image banners etc for a long time...

    10 Things Your McDonald's Drive-Thru Worker Really Wants You to Know

    1. Ordering sauces at the drive-thru window will take 10x longer. Never understood why people do this... I think they expect to get the sauce free. At least at Domino's delivery they don't expect to be able to get sauces off you. Like dude I'm 8 miles away from the store, I do not carry random...

    Why are there so many McDonalds posts?

    Seriously it's like one in five posts are about McDonalds. It's making me hungry. It's hilarious but I have to know if there's a reason why.

    Should cannabis be legalized?

    I would say all drugs should be decriminalized. Mortality rates and addiction rates measurably decrease in studies where the prohibition is lifted. I don't drink or smoke, I even cut out caffeine, but I will never understand people that believe prohibition of recreational substances can work...

    Grimace has taken over McDonald's Twitter account

    I actually care about this - see, it seems like the McD's sponsor team paid off the McD's wiki admins so they could essentially vandalise the wiki to promote this event. Grimace - take a look at the talk page. It is a bit of a rabbit hole, and no convenient youtuber has made a...

    What overlap is there between a regular survival kit and one that would protect against hostile entities?

    Just as a thought exercise. All suggestions welcome. Personally, I would go with some light sources that are impossible to extinguish. Magnesium flares, some of that camping stove solid fuel, etc. I keep seeing movies (I know I know, that's not the best thing to base it on...) where the lights...

    Here`s a Mind Bender

    I get that we might know it completely at some point - but idk if that makes it boring. I like space and we know the majority of how that works. I like understanding how things function. QM isn't interesting because I think it's complex (although I do think it is), it's because it gives you...

    Here`s a Mind Bender

    I like this kind of news because it provides an alternative to the way that determinism seems at once depressing, restrictive, and obvious. If the past is uncertain until the future is observed, it means that there is room for free will, and life can be more than just starting conditions +...

    7 density model of consciousness - how legit is this?

    Neutron star = Neuron smart. Coincidence? I think not.

    7 density model of consciousness - how legit is this?

    I'll have you know I'm practically malnourished, owing to being a uni student. MY brain is definitely smoother than yours.
