automotive ceramic coating?

apparently even alphas aren’t alphas and the researcher who published that theory deeply regrets the popular interpretation of his misunderstanding.

Read a book for meaning. Spend hours and days, sometimes weeks and months deepening your understanding. Opening your mind to the unfamiliar. The above strip can be written in one short paragraph and is an insult to drawing as the imagery doesn’t add anything to it.

“big phones” make sense when you use it more like a small computer than a phone. Bigger screen is easier on eyes and hands.

Brain rot is most frequently used in the context of Generation Alpha’s digital habits, by critics expressing that the generation is “excessively immersed in online culture”. It is commonly associated with an individual’s vocabulary consisting exclusively of internet references. From 2023 to 2024, Oxford reported the term’s usage increased by 230% in frequency per million words.

The term is often linked with slang and trends popular among Generation Alpha and Generation Z, such as “skibidi” (a reference to the YouTube Shorts series Skibidi Toilet), “rizz” (charm), “gyatt” (referring to the buttocks), “fanum tax” (stealing food), “sigma” (referring to a leader or alpha male), and “delulu” (truncation of delusional).

The term was named Oxford Word of the Year in 2024, beating other words like demure and romantasy.

Yes. Yes of course there is a Wikipedia entry for skibidi toilet. Thanks I hate it.

you’re welcome, i too hate it.

i became aware of its existence a couple of hours ago. Something like this in some forgotten corner of the internets … why not. But to read that this is one of the most popular channels on youtube, the first internet phenomenon of “generation alpha” &c is painfully sad. I don’t know how many times i asked in vain: What’s wrong with these people? Why are they watching this!

in contrast to this, i love HowToBasic for a “similar” example, its absurdity, nihilism. I don’t watch it regularly but it gives me pleasure to know that it exists. SkibidiToilet makes me worry: so now, they’re watching this

what is boomer humour?

i wish comics went back to being comics instead of trying to be bite sized critics :/

i had sigma cameras and their color interpretation was incomparably better thanks to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foveon_X3_sensor

i would expect, not gimmicks, but a fundamentally better sensor. An invention about light and not about phones

Unless you go full Syria on your government, the oppression will continue as usual.

in Syria, strangely, Assad’s regime was of an armed minority oppressing an incomparably greater majority.

example doesn’t stand

don’t.

search for “pen spinning” instead. You don’t need to buy anything to learn a thousand ways to spin a pen

don’t underestimate the maga crowd

it’s difficult to not to portray ophanim “more machine than organic”. If they were real and you had met one, you would probably think that it’s a machine.

they’re so free that they don’t even select their own rulers

“sphere of influence with friends”

so cute it’s impossible to disagree

i’m ok with the image, i never asked for an image to be marked nsfw.

people called for nsfw under safer imagery ☞ https://sh.itjust.works/post/30309270

look closer and you will see 😬 let’s keep it as our secret though, don’t let the morality police see those details

no?

nobody asked for this to be marked nsfw yet?

probably people didn’t get to their cubicles in the U.S. yet
