Don't miss out!
Not even pigeons want this rice. Rice: the worst grain??
How many licks does it take to get to the mercury center of a candy thermometer?
Hey cool, now Frog Fractions 2 is also on sale!

(In case it wasn't clear, Hollow Knight is amazing for the 95% of the time it's *not* doing this stuff.)
You liked that organic cave system and the city built for people to exist in? Well then how about this series of pits and spikes perfectly spaced to match your personal jump arc? IT'S A VIDEO GAME
Finding the Double Jump does it too, but at least I can put out of my mind quickly that I've found the Double Jump in a hundred other Video Games and go back to pretending I'm actually doing something new. With a tough boss fight, I'm immersed in VIDEO GAME for ten minutes. DO THE DEWWWWW
Really digging the otherworldliness of Hollow Knight. Less than thrilled with the boss fights and platforming challenges.
Oh, were you enjoying being immersed in this alien place? Sorry, you're playing a video game now.
Experimental results: going "online" didn't help.
Any advice on how I can add "just like a blank .cs file, y'know, a place I can type code into" to this list

A common communication issue I have is that collaborators can't tell whether any given part of my plan is a joke.
A simple rule of thumb: Yes, it's a joke. Also, yes I'm really going to do it.
Glittermitten Grove is $8 right now. I would probably pay that much for it!

My new office building is lit entirely by motion-sensitive lighting. TIL all the basement cafe sensors are near the doors, and if you sit at a table long enough with nobody coming into the room, all the lights go out while you're eating lunch, and no amount of arm-waving turns them back on.
MTV is making new episodes of Daria. I wonder if I would still like that show!

Really though why wouldn't the mimics just start mimicking the "not a mimic" notes too.
TFW when your dad's dying wish is for you to temporarily imprint a symbol of his profession on a bunch of strangers' thighs.
Here's a pretty neat essay about what happens when creators build a culture around tools rather than the creative product.

Broke: hot dogs are sandwiches
Woke: hot dogs aren't sandwiches
Bespoke: arguing about arbitrary category boundaries is boring
Real talk, does the open source OS community still have desktop aspirations? Because now that the commercial space's best new ideas are "force a restart while you're in the middle of working" and "take away the escape key" there seems to be a real opportunity here.
