Blood is thick rule (lemmy.world)

Image transcription: a four panel comic. First panel is of a dark haired twink sitting on a chair while a dark haired doctor wearing a white lab coat and holding a syringe, standing to the right of the twink, says “it’s time to run a blood test”. Second panel shows the doctor expelling blood from the syringe into a Petri...

This reminds me of the scene in Bob's Burgers where Gene gets sprayed in the face with perfume and shouts “No! My eyes! I need them for eye exams!”

I had a friend years ago who would constantly do this... Anytime someone would ask her for advice she would just go on a 10 minute rant about how much worse she had it when the same thing happened to her. She never actually gave any useful information about how she dealt with the issue, she just complained for a while and then acted like she had done you a favor somehow lol

We all just eventually stopped telling her anything personal after a while

This is how you end up on the No Fly List and eventually go viral lol

This seems like it was done by someone who is actively trying to get fired lol

I want one now

I'll take that chicken tikka lasagna too

It's part of the Instagram post linked under the picture

I can assure you this is not American. If it were I would have had one by now. According to the Instagram link this was found in Iceland.

Also Heinz brand baked beans are British, so I'm assuming that is the country where this masterpiece was created

That's just weird... If they thought one bar wouldn't be enough then why not just make the bars bigger? Is it still even a "healthy snack" if you have to cram them down 2 at a time? It reminds me of the time I was checking the info on the back of a packet of Top Ramen and it said it's supposed to be like 2 or 3 servings. Like was I supposed to share it with someone? Lol

It wouldn't necessarily have to be double thick, they could just make it longer or wider across or both

Could you not just make a second email account that you just use for things like this? Why is the only alternative to use your personal account? It takes like 2 minutes to make an alternate Gmail account lol

Anyone who bases their entire identity around their political beliefs is pretty much always a disappointment no matter who they voted for

Apple crushes creativity and its reputation in new iPad ad (www.theregister.com)

The ad itself depicted a mechanical crusher destroying artifacts of human creativity. A trumpet, guitar, sculpture, piano, drawing board, paints, a metronome, several analog cameras, a turntable, and hi-fi equipment were among the much-loved items yielding to the machine's unstoppable force.

MrJameGumb ,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

Ignoring things like this is how we've ended up with an entire generation of people who Apple thinks are either too lazy or too stupid to create art or music on their own.

Note that I am not calling anyone lazy or stupid, I'm just stating Apple thinks this is a desirable outcome and is pushing forward with that plan

MrJameGumb ,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

So the solution to that is to only make paint-by-numbers music that Apple will allow you to make with their pre approved apps? That sounds like a good way to end up with a lot of mediocre easily digestible music that all sounds the same...

I have been playing guitar for nearly 20 years. My family has never been rich, which meant I got the most affordable guitar available (which cost MUCH less than an iPad even accounting for inflation) when I started.

I knew absolutely nothing about how to play it and taught myself for the first year from stuff I found in magazines. When it became apparent that I wasn't going to just abandon the thing in the closet my parents agreed to get me lessons for this costly sum of $25 a week.

Since then I have have scrimped and saved to get nicer instruments when I could afford them, and they mean a lot to me so I take care of them and play them often.

When making music becomes reduced to a game from WHICHEVER app store, it loses all meaning because there is zero invested in it. I'm sure there will be a few people who actually manage to make real music this way despite the limitations, but for most people it will just be a toy they lose interest in like Candy Crush or something.

If it were easy to play decent music then everyone in the world would have a top 10 hit

Ah, just going straight into troll mode now huh? That's too bad, I was enjoying our conversation...

MrJameGumb ,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

I see the confusion here... You think playing music is something one does to get fame and money. What you're describing is a content creator, in which case I can see why having an overpriced toy that makes songs for you would be appealing.

For the record I have, in fact, played for a number of audiences and even recorded several albums with various bands that I've been in over the years. I'm sure you wouldn't have heard any of them because they never really made it beyond the local scene. I'm perfectly fine with that though, because I didn't make them to be famous. I made them because I enjoy the creative process involved in songwriting and performance, because I'm a musician.

I'll probably still get some steamed hams ready just in case

They want to be able to make sure they're stealing data from real people and also ensure that your real life offline can be destroyed at any time lol

@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

That's funny... According to my calculations it's still Wednesday for like 12 more hours

MrJameGumb ,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

You don't know what I have degrees in! I'll have you know I have a whole cupboard full of glasses that I drink from every day!

It's still not Thursday for another 3 hours!

I HAVE SPOKEN! 🕘🧙‍♂️

I deleted all of my reddit accounts some time ago, but last I recall there were already a bunch of French people using it lol I'm sure a bunch of inaccurate clinical AI translations will really help though...

He's coming after you with his solo Polo peeper!

Other than Gordon Ramsay being involved this is more or less the plot to the book House of Leaves lol

MrJameGumb ,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

I would pay good money to see that, especially if it was starring Mr Bean lol

@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

You should check out a show that came out some years ago called Psychoville! None of those people are in it, but it's the closest thing I've ever seen to what you're describing lol

MrJameGumb ,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

The show they did after that is really good too, it's an mystery/horror/comedy anthology called Inside No. 9

MrJameGumb ,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

So... Do you care to explain further or should we just sign up based on this static image you posted?

@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

Here's the article. Basically he wants to steal computing power from privately owned vehicles when they are sitting idle and then pay those car owners nothing for the power consumption.

In other words he wants to hijack your Tesla's cpu and make YOU pay for the privilege

MrJameGumb , (edited )
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

For someone who supposedly hates communism he seems to be really pushing hard for anyone who is not at least a millionaire owning no private property of their own lol

MrJameGumb ,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

Very true! Good point! I'm sure Elon would be much happier if we all collectively agreed that he is the new God King lol

MrJameGumb ,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

Somehow the fact that it's Drew McIntyre makes this even better lol

@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

It looks like Dildo N.L. is actually a real place and no one knows why it's called that lol

MrJameGumb , (edited )
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

Did they have a gift shop full of trinkets that say things like "there's a little Dildo in all of us" or something similar? It would be worth the trip just for that lol

MrJameGumb ,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

I don't get why people are doing this crap with AI dead celebrities... It's basically like admitting up front that you're not talented enough for anyone to give a shit about you on your own lol

MrJameGumb ,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

That makes it all the more strange that he would do something like this that absolutely reeks of desperation

MrJameGumb ,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

This is true right up to the point where a bird swoops down and eats you alive

MrJameGumb ,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

I thought it was those folding pliers that have a knife and a screwdriver in the handle?

MrJameGumb ,
@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

So... basically the sonic screwdriver from Doctor Who then?

I don't think you should be using it anymore if it's getting hot enough to cook a pizza...
