But how are you going to replace the OG? https://mrcoles.com/dragondrop/

Amazing, thanks! Didn't know this one yet :)

sounds effects on! piuww piuwww! waaaaa I'm going to eat youuu!

Steam OS might get a boost soon with their new hardware.

I’ve thought about making a Venmo for betting.

Start a betting pool with a group of friends. Use an exchange (not sports book) internal to the group, so no external money needed. No commission.

It’s no fun realizing you and your friends have taken opposite bets and are just handing money to the house. Keep that money in your social group and make some friendly bets without worrying about the entire group being taken to the cleaners. The group leaves the Super Bowl party, horse races, etc with just as much money as went in (minus tickets, food/drink, etc).

I guess a more accessible version would be toast… what do you put in a toaster?

Here's one for you:

A funny riddle is a j-o-k-e that sounds like “joke”.

You sit in the tub for an s-o-a-k that sounds like “soak”.

So how do you spell the white of an egg?

// All of these prove humans are subject to "context priming".

My brain said "y" and then I caught myself. Well done!

(I suppose my context was primed both by your brain-teaser, and also the fact that we've been talking about these sorts of things. If you'd said this to me out of the blue, I probably would have spelled out all of "yolk" and thought it was correct.)

Notably, this comment kinda broke my brain for a good 5 seconds. Good work.

Bombe is great. You might like the zactronics games. And there are tons of factory games now if you want factorio with different window dressing.

Huh. Just checked kagi and it’s the same. At least you can block sites manually.

Or “called them over by raising a hand” with “flagged down”.

As recently as the Silicon Valley tv show, the joke was that every startup pitch claimed they were “making the world a better place”.

"I don't want to live in a world where someone else makes the world a better place better than we do." -Gavin Belson

Gavin is a perfect example of this, tho fictional. "Doing good" was a route to personal success and domination; Gavin under a Trump admin would have dropped the act, just as others have done.

Writing an email with AI and having the recipient summarize it with AI is basically all the fun of jpeg compression, but more bandwidth instead of less.
