Tony Hawk: I'd like to turn myself in for murder.

Cop: Are you Tony Hawk?

Tony Hawk: Yes.

Cop: If you're Tony Hawk where's your skateboard?

Tony Hawk, holding up a blood-soaked skateboard: It dug right into his skull. I am a monster

Cop: You look a little old to be Tony Hawk

Google: I need to customize this result to your current location

Me: That's clearly wrong and if it's right then it's terrifying

Image transcription: Google search: Shark life expectancy Google: See results closer to you? Use precise location

These rows are perfectly horizontal and are not moving. A mind-bending anomalous motion variation of the Café wall illusion by Akiyoshi Kitaoka.

Image transcription: Rows of black and white zigzag patterns forming 2x2 checkerboards on a grey background create an optical illusion of warping and motion.

Image transcription: tweet: Nobody: What’s your favorite paradox? Me: If you ask Rick Astley for his copy of the movie UP, he cannot give it to you as he will never give you up. However, in doing so, he lets you down. Thus creating the Astley Paradox.

Image transcription: 4 panel comic: 1. Pennywise the clown speaks to a kid from the sewers: "Join us, Jimmy. We all float down here." 2. Jimmy screams and runs away. 3. Pennywise turns around and speaks to a group of clowns in the sewers. They are having a merry pool party and drinking umbrella drinks. Pennywise says: "He ran away!" 4. One of the clowns says, "Maybe he doesn't like pool parties." Another one says,"Try balloons next time."

Image transcription: TNG scene. We're in the turbo lift! Picard is standing in the middle, looking stumped. Riker and Geordi are forming a Picard sandwich on either side of him facing inward. Bit of a sausage party if you ask me. Closed caption reads, "Beverly thinks it's going to be tight."

The iPod server was a powerful first iteration music sharing device. While not designed for convenience, its internal RAID can still be expanded with modern compact flash cards for 1.25TB of on-the-go storage.

Image transcription: A photo of an early iPod with colour display running macosx server 1.2. It looks cumbersomely thick, but also desirable.

This community is experimental. It follows people on Mastodon (for now, lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social and MrLovenstein@mastodon.social) and publishes their posts here, keeping them as the author.

This has several advantages over someone else screenshotting their posts and sharing them lemmy, including efficiency, accessibility, searchability and credit, as well as the fact that if you - as a lemmy user - comment on a post, it will go to the original author.

Note 1: As the sidebar mentions, posts and downvotes aren't supported. In practise it means they'll be removed / reverted.

Note 2: It's also possible to follow people on lemmy, of course, but I sense that duplicating their posts here might get annoying
