Look how they massacred my boy

OR IS IT??

Not a near-term solution, but the Free Software Foundation just announced the LibrePhone project!

This is exactly why giving ID scans to online sevices is a terrible idea, even ignoring the privacy aspect.

Not only that, but they’ve explicitly changed their ages/backstories at least twice already

Dark yellow! Yellow is inherently bright and sunny, when you try to make it dark it becomes a hideous contradiction.

Sure am glad we have police robots in the sky to protect us from 19 year old kids stealing stuff from Walmart

I’d love them, but like others have said, not if made by Meta, and not if they rely on sending all my data to cloud services to function.

It seems maybe you’re actually misunderstanding. As I mentioned above, both you and the other commenter are certainly correct that the surrounding atmosphere (water in your case) exerts force on the objects as they fall, with varying effects depending on object density. However, if you take two objects that have vastly more density than the water (let’s say a big tungsten rod and another tungsten rod that has a hollow core), they will drop at approximately the same rate in the water even if their density vs each other varies. The greater the difference of their density versus the density of the medium, the less the effect of the medium. Is there still technically an effect? Sure, but that effect is negligible from a human perceptual perspective.

While that is true, two properly selected objects (such as the ones mentioned above) can reduce the effect of air resistance to levels negligible to human perception, demonstrating that heavier objects do not intrinsically fall faster.

Here is my favorite treatise on that subject: I, We, Waluigi: a Post-Modern analysis of Waluigi by Franck Ribery

Gozz is correct. You’re misunderstanding the nature of a digital signal. What the author did was convert a digital signal to an analog signal, store that analog signal on a bird, then record that analog signal. Whether it was redigitized after the fact is irrelevant. It is not a digital process end-to-end. This is the same as if I were to download a YouTube video, record that video on a VHS tape, then redigitize that video. Not only would the end result not be a bit for bit match, it wouldn’t be a match at all despite containing some of the same visual information, because it would be the product of a digital-analog-digital conversion.

Not a binger. I either watch as they come out or one episode a day for fully-released seasons (usually with a meal). It extends my enjoyment of the show and takes less time away from other things I could be doing.

Four.

I think a bowling ball would actually just be a solid topologically. The finger holes are just indentations rather than holes that go all the way through. IANAT, though.

That kaleidoscope is awesome! I kinda want to make one.

Technically no, this photographer is putting flowers under a blacklight and photographing them, resulting in a picture of basically what a human would see IRL in that scenario (aside from things like contrast/exposure variances, etc). It’s not really the same as what UV sensing animals would see. These photos are of regions of the flower converting UV light into human-visible visible light (via fluorescence, same thing as a blacklight poster). UV sensing animals are seeing actual ultraviolet being reflected by the flower as well as visible light, so it’s not the same thing.

Damn, that’s poetry

Epic!!!
