Gorilla on the Green; with the dam releasing twice its usual flow, they call it Silverback.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Unhackable because despite typing my password into the username field, I made a typo

@fgcMagnolia Oh I see the streak is of taking part not succeeding. Sit dart monkey

@HarperAAustin This should be a common joke how has it never been done before

Is there an invention that allows one to get all of a thick drink, e.g. a smoothie, out of its container, leaving it completely clean, while still being able to eat the removed material? Spoons and straws are clearly insufficient but like a q tip would obviously be disgusting

Modern technology is crazy, signed my lease while taking a shit

Could you construct a vector field in the shape of a cat where the only discontinuity is at the tip of its tail 🤔

Me looking at the spot on my cat's nose where the hair switches direction: aw buddy, poor baby, defenseless victim of the hairy ball theorem

tax the rich but also make each of them walk down a runway where they get an extra tax if i think their outfit is ugly

This is the coolest thing of all time

I feel like Tony Stark building in a cave with a box of scraps (i have a kit with instructions). Mould King is a pretty sweet lego competitor, I recommend

Glad to know I'm not the first person to think about how the MRI machine techno remix would (and does) go hard

Crushing my girlfriend 2-0 at rock paper scissors to decide who fills the water bottles just for the love of the game because I went to fill the water bottles anyway

Got given some red white and blue peanut m&ms and unironically asked if they were Smurf themed before I realized they could have any other meaning. Kinda proud of that evident lack of nationalism

This is the only thing that could improve the movie

[Jem Baker @jemisverycool]

Saw top gun maverick in imax and, despite my vast distaste for the American military industrial complex, it is the sickest movie ever put to screen and the filmmaking affects me intrinsically. An all timer, nearly in my top 5 (this isn't news, I just love it more every time)

[Jem Baker @jemisverycool]

first and probably last game i've ever platinumed. banger

Enjoying getting into gym bouldering (did my first V3s yesterday) but just thinking about climbing when I don't have chalk makes my hands literally drip with sweat. Get home from a good session and can't turn the doorknob. Watch some reels and my palms could fill a kiddie pool

Coolest picture ever taken of me. Credit to a random hiker whose name I don't know
