Well, initially I just googled “weird candy” on DuckDuckGo, but then I got a few hundred more requests, so I’ve also tried “[country] candy” and “[flavor] candy” and “[shape] candy” and so on. You, for example, got: a chocolate pentagon from the Pentagon gift shop

these days people link to twitter and even in the case that a thread looks interesting I simply cannot read it. 1/11 ok but where are the other ten. there’s nothing on the page that shows them and half of the links 401. I hope people will eventually start posting interesting things on platforms that support sharing

what if you’re giving birth to twins and it’s the end of daylights savings day and the older twin was born first but the second twin travels back in time and is born an hour before the first twin, would that be fucked up or what.
This is like one of those riddle-of-the-Sphinx loopholes, like “I can only be defeated by a younger brother who is first born of his family” and this clown rolls up like “BUDDY, HAVE I GOT A STORY FOR YOU…”

Hi, Mass Effect Legendary Edition is on sale for SIX DOLLARS.
That’s all three games, almost all the DLCs (rip, Pinnacle Station) including weapon and armor packs, for six goddamn dollars.
HOLY SHIT
look, if you can stand shooters at all (the easy mode, target assist, and squadmate auto-attacks are extremely helpful – this was the first video game I ever played), and if you think you’d be interested in 260+ hours *per playthrough* (the first game alone takes three playthroughs for 100% completion) of roleplay-heavy story content In Spaaaaace with close to two dozen potential found-family members played by some of the best voice actors in video games…
Do check if your computer can run the game, Legendary Edition is pretty graphics-heavy. But my god, six dollars for (if you like it as much as I do) literally thousands of hours of entertainment? Damn.
(Also, MELE is deliberately optimized to be modded. Check out NexusMods to see just how bananas the mods scene is, because it’s fucking amazeballs. Mass Effect 1’s original PC port was literally unmoddable due to loss of the original masters, and between the inbuilt moddability of LE and the dedication of the modding community, it’s now got mods I always wanted and never *dreamed* could exist. Drop another five bucks on a month of Nexus premium downloads and go to town.)
(obligatory disclaimer: not a paid endorsement yadda yadda, I just really motherfucking love this game and it was extremely formative for me)

I went to the local aviary today and they had some really mean things to say about owls.
I can confirm that most birds have a detectable amount of wiring behind the eyes – blinking lights and buttons and sliders and frizzy things that spark and chirp and beep. They also have a lot of soul that can communicate with ours because the programming is fairly compatible. Vultures are clever and curious, swans are clear and lawful, chickens have a lot of personality, caged parrots are dissociated and disinherited and frankly worrying, falconry-trained birds of prey are tremendously businesslike.
And owls are absolutely lovely beasts with their own irreplaceable validity. but they are basically stuffed with polyester fiberfill. They have one button, like a child’s toy dinosaur that opens and closes its mouth when you press the back of its head. And it isn’t even a sophisticated electronic button it’s just a lever that rocks back and forth to make the claws open and close. I think they may have actually evolved independently from sponges. Their skulls simply exist to create holes that funnel sound and light, and as a place to hang a giant hinged beak. An owl is just an empty tube like a windchime that the wind whistles through, and you can drop meat down it. They use the meat to generate feathers, and then emit the bones in pressed little packages like those machines that flatten a penny and stamp it with the logo of a theme park. I think that’s the gist of it – most birds are electronics of varying levels of sophistication, but owls are just a system of levers and pulleys. No elevator music in those skulls, just the wind echoing through empty caverns of slightly irritating design. Absolutely fantastic.
Are owls smart? Lord no.
Are owls efficient? So much so, that they don’t need to be smart.
