I get it for most of those, but SCP isn’t really an abbreviation.

You know, it’s nice to learn that true visionaries do still exist

Cat feet pictures are also acceptable!

Or strong.

Reminds me of that classical paradox - “Can God bake a batch of brownies that’s so strong he can’t stay awake?”

that’s amaizing

I prefer Tagliatelle

And some of your cats please

I found a way to optimize your code without affecting the result. By making it branchless, I was able to get my CPU to 100% utilization!

That’s why you gotta shrink yourself down. Modern problems require modern solutions!

Now why would you do such a thing??

I get the feeling I might be frying my shrimp too long

Can you imagine what it’d be like to hug a loaf of bread that’s almost as big as you?

And why is it raw??

That standard won’t stop me because I can’t read!

A few years ago I went out drinking with friends. We had a great time, and everything seemed completely normal. We eventually parted ways and I headed home, and somehow there was a creepy atmosphere in the air. I still don’t know what exactly it was. I looked through my apartment and didn’t see anything out of the ordinary, so I basically fell on my bed and passed out.

When I woke up the next morning, a shiver went down my spine as I noticed that during the night, a ghost took a shit in my pants.

Not sure if it’s my absolute favorite, but Pathologic has fascinated me for years.

There are so many strange and unique aspects to the world (especially the Polyhedron, an impossible tower floating above the town) that already make for excellent world building, but when they come together it creates a feeling I haven’t felt from any other world.

You know how Lovecraftian horror has a very distinct feeling? The world of Pathologic makes me feel something vaguely similar, but completely unique - no horror or aliens, but the feeling of powers existing far beyond our understanding combined with people who somehow do understand small parts, and the consequences of their choices affecting everyone… it’s really hard to put into words, but it feels like it created its own genre.

I would like the ability to remove other people’s superpowers, please, and thank you

Most progress isn’t made in sudden huge jumps, but small incremental improvements.

When pubsci articles promise a breakthrough, remember:

• it takes a long time to bring such research to market (think ~decade)
• most breakthroughs are only applicable to narrow niches or work under specific conditions
• real-life results will usually be worse than lab results
• startups have incentives to make their research appear as important as possible

But instead of waiting for huge breakthroughs, just look at the progress made in commercially available batteries. There have been many improvements in cost & charge density.

I mean… you know that you can buy batteries today, and they’re much better than the ones you could buy a decade ago?

Just make sure she doesn’t get another chance! I’ve made that mistake before.
