Trap with me
The idea of a religion based on venerating/worshiping prehistoric animals, sounds really interesting! But sadly it hasn’t been well developed. For some reason its only dinosaurs that are venerated.
I could understand that Paru doesn't know about other prehistoric animals. But the whole thing could of been way cooler. Imagine a polytheistic religion where a species, taxa or whatever worships a prehistoric ancestor.
If you wanna know what the prehistoric animals on the right. They are, paraceratherium, Gorgonops and Tiktaalik.
I think one of the most damaging ideologies towards children is the conviction that having children isn’t a calling but a moral obligation.
I dont know what to say but this is pretty cool!
I always get a lot of comments about the 2-key pony keyboard. I wanted to explain how I think they could work. I've been told there is an input device called orbiTouch which works on the same principle.
This is the most disgusting and horrifying thing a A.I has ever created.
I love it

1: Pseudo Solarpunk: So the idea came from for for designing “eco-friendly living”. But usually they come from corporations or governments. But mostly there made for fixing or making things better. But most of the time they never fully promise or they never get made. Most of the time there just made for looks. Examples include Dubais’s “sustainable” city or Saudia Arabias the Line City. There plenty of more examples. But I recommend looking into Hanzi Freinacht article We Must Reclaim Solarpunk from Authoritarian Regimes it’s really good and its what inspired me to come up with this idea.
So basically imagine a setting for a dystopia where the solarpunk is just aesthetics and no practical use. Or can only be used by a select few, aka the elite while the lower classes suffer. Basically the modern day but worse. Also add some authoritarianism into it and you got pseudo solarpunk or faux solarpunk. I might make another post probably going in much more detail, but no promises.
It’s currently 1:48 am, decided to write this before I forget it, feel free to do what ever with this idea.
Things that will make your computer meaningfully faster:
Replacing a HDD with an SSD
Adding RAM
Graphics cards if you're nasty
Uninstalling resource hogs like Norton or McAfee (if you're using Windows then the built-in Windows Security is perfectly fine; if you're using a mac consider bitdefender as a free antivirus or eset as a less resource intensive paid option)
Customizing what runs on startup for your computer
Things that are likely to make internet browsing specifically meaningfully faster:
Installing firefox and setting it up with ublock origin
adding the Auto Tab Discard extension to firefox to sleep unused tabs so that they aren't constantly reloading
Closing some fucking tabs bud I'm sorry I know it hurts I'm guilty of this too
Things that will make your computer faster if you are actually having a problem:
Running malwarebytes and shutting down any malicious programs it finds.
Correcting disk utilization errors
Things that will make your computer superficially faster and may slightly improve your user experience temporarily:
Clearing cache and cookies on your browser
Restarting the computer
Changing your screen resolution
Uninstalling unused browser extensions
Things that do not actually make your computer faster:
Deleting files
Registry cleaners
Defragging your drive
Passively wishing that your computer was faster instead of actually just adding more fucking RAM.
This post is brought to you by the lady with the 7-year-old laptop that she refuses to leave overnight for us to run scans on or take apart so that we can put RAM in it and who insists on coming by for 30-minute visits hoping we can make her computer faster.
I need everyone’s best character advice. STAT.
