Your pointless thoughts & observations

1. The half-life of uranium-238 is about 4.5 B years - same as the officially determined age of Earth. Coincidence?

2. The Doge meme from 2013 which would later evolve into swole doggo in 2020 was derived from the real life shiba inu Kabosu. Yep, that's the name of the iconic shibe we've seen in countless meme copypastas. I think she was 8 years old back in 2013, so idk if she's still alive today...

 

I am me and you are you.

my turntable is buggered. only solution i could find to the grinding noise is to take out the slider tray that changes speed.

god knows how i managed to mess this up, but the result is that all of my records are now playing backwards. i've got some new records coming soon, and my copy of Key Nell just arrived so i'm kinda pissed that one's backwards. BUT my first instinct is to get out my Geogaddi reissue and listen to all the backmasky goodness while i still can!

honestly it doesn't even mater with idm...

it's funny - that's exactly what i've just been implying, except that i've just played most of Geodaddi backwards right here, in real life. i admit it doesn't translate well to other records like Key Nell (big beats w/trailing reverb) but i know that because i've been doing it, not because it took me three seconds to make a post like this.

looking into getting it repaired soon to play Bowie's Let's Dance - which definitely does need to be played forwards.

Where'd you pick up key nell from? That's such a great record...

That was last year.

PTSD Activated.

The demon pain sound in classic Doom always sounded stupid and janky to me. Always sounded like "Paul! Paul! Paul! Paul!"

Just watched the Ripper on Netflix. Limited series about the Yorkshire Ripper. They should add to the title so it’s called “The Ripper and also all the cops directing this investigation are fucking morons”

Jesus how frustrating and ya know that shit happens the world over for all time.

Does anyone who does a lot of excersize have a really reduced ability to sleep?

I've been working as a cycle courier to tide myself over during the pandemic as my chef job is gone temporarily, so I've been doing around 28 hours cycling a week. I feel great, im on the brink of seeing abs for the first time in my life. I get to sleep like a dream at 1am every night like clockwork but I just wake up after 5 hours and cannot get to sleep again every single night. I don't feel especially tired but im acquiring monster bags under my eyes.

There's an older man on tik tok that djs sitting down. Everytime he live streams I go into his chat and yell: " HEY IT'S THE SITTING DJ!". The guy looks ridiculous barely able to reach his turntables and probably would do a much better job standing.

Could be due to increased dopamine and noradrenaline levels?

Damn, that's rude. Maybe he has a good reason he's sitting down?

Jeez now I feel bad. I've seen seen the guy walk around though. I think he just prefers sitting.

Who doesn't! He's probably sitting because it's nearly impossible to DJ lying down. Unless you somehow get the equipment to slightly below the level of what you're lying on and someone hands you the records or there is some sort of special hatch you can reach into.

If anything the opposite should happen. If you drink alcohol, maybe give it up for a while as this sounds like something a few drinks before bedtime do. Not sure about weed in this regard.

It would be really easy for a heavy object to squish my head and brain.  I'm impressed that I've managed to keep every piece of it intact for 24 years, considering how much I break everything else I own.

I've heard of a disease where you start sleeping less and less until you don't sleep anymore at all and eventually die of insomnia (a miserable death because you hallucinate while dying: you are forced to live through your greatest fears and horrors up to your last breath, it's infinitely cruel torture). it's typically caused by a sudden change in lifestyle or excessive sports

O rite il probably just off myself next week then, get it over and done with.

This inspires me to off myself as well. Anyone else?

I'm legit considering shopping for a jump rope. I've missed too many gym days lately, so I'm opting for a backup cardio regimen at home for days I end up not going.

I'm a bit shocked at the amount of errors and oversights on my part I'm confronted with on a seemingly increasing basis. Not sure if I notice more errors or make more but it's fucking with my mind that even though I think I'm focused and being thorough I'll still fuck some shit up.

I've seen so many old Japanese movies that I've come to expect at least one rape scene per movie I watch.
