Charlie Brown up to some wild stuff as an adult

Earth, fire, wind, water, kink

It’s probably more like the 50th is considered northern really. 60th is into far north territory

Death of the author means you separate the art from the artist, and sometimes it also means you wish they were dead

Would’ve liked to see what percentage have none.

I’m still buying CDs to rip and having my music library as MP3s on my phone. No internet connection required, I have total control of the files, and a physical backup if needed.

Yes, it wasn’t until the third panel did I notice the arms of the chair and suddenly the person was bald

Maybe the person is just clumsy

I’d argue they risk losing users who post links to their videos online. It’s likely the same group who tend to use ad blockers are also the ones more likely to link a video online, so YouTube would miss out on all the non-adblock users clicking links and watching the videos that way.

Everything reminds me of her him

Probably why this scam works so well. It’s like how the bad spelling etc in phishing helps to weed out the less susceptible people so they don’t waste their time.

If you’re already falling for the Musk bullshit, then you’re a prime target.

Sounds more like the families traded the players then, not the players trading families

You joke but I literally pictured a super long battery for a solid bit before it clicked. I was thinking maybe it was coiled and technically really long like a spool of wire

Who is your daddy and what does he do?

I stopped at the PS2…

Or maybe it does, who knows. It’s the Cybertruck afterall

here’s the thing though, you wouldn’t need to do that second part. You only need to know what the relative time for london is in the event that you fly over there, or something, and even then

What? Sorry, I must be misunderstanding your viewpoint here. People interact all across the globe all of the time; it’s important to know what part of day it is in the different places for all of that. You want to call someone in Singapore? It doesn’t help to know their clock shows the same time as you, you need to know if it’s the middle of the night, or maybe it’s likely lunch time etc. That’s why you need to know the offset from “your” time.

And you glossed over everything else… I’m not talking about movies for no reason. Movies tend to need to convey lots of information in a short amount of time so it’s a useful example of the differring amounts of information that can be communicated when we all share cultural understandings of things. If 3am means essentially the same thing everywhere that’s super useful in communicating all sorts of ideas.

Too bad movies never use shit like ambient moon lighting, or darkness

Probably because people’s beds tend to be inside… Plus darkness can mean morning or evening or middle of the night or something else (imagine the person notices it’s dark, looks at the clock and it shows 1pm. We know something’s off because we all experience 1pm as early afternoon).

The point isn’t that timezones are only good for movies, the point was that they help convey that cultural understanding very effectively across the world. Having a common understanding of what certain numbers on a clock mean and have that be universal can help convey quite a bit of information. 11am means “late morning” in a specific way that you could probably spend a paragraph describing.

Sure, without timezones I’d know what their clock says in London without having to use Google, but I’d still have to Google what time of day it is there and apply an offset to understand exactly what part of the day it is (which is what timezones do already). It’s no easier, plus we lose the ability to culturally share the same reference points.

Imagine you’re watching a movie, and the main character turns over to their bedside clock and it shows 4:13 am. With time zones we all understand what part of the day that is and instinctively can relate to the situation.

Without timezones, every locality would have a different shorthand and cultural understanding of what times mean what. Or they’d adopt a second system that helps transcend that but that’s just inventing timezones again…
