Haha fuck yeah!! Yes!!

[me trying to get wires loose from a backstab terminal to switch an outlet]

Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you absolutely can yell ‘parkour!’ when hopping over a curb or ducking under a railing in public. There’s no law against it, it’s allowed, I’ve tested it.

“(…) phenomenal,” says the customer on the conference call.

“Doo dooo do dodo,” I sing in response like a Muppet automatically.

Adrenaline spiking, I verify I’m muted…. I am. This time.

It will happen again, I know it will.

Hopefully the same will be true for the mute status.

@threelonmusketeers I was working on setting up a bsky server and managed to do what NASA calls a "whoopsy doopsy fucksy wucksy" (slightly paraphrased)

Hopefully it's working again, let me know if it's not. Also, thank you!

When I honk at someone in traffic who just did something aggressively stupid (as in unlikely to be a mistake) it’s not because I think they will care what I, a stranger, thinks.

I do it because if they have a passenger, it might embarrass them in front of someone whose opinion they care about.

@esden Congratulations!

@threelonmusketeers @BocaRoad I think something glitched, oops! The other accounts transferred over intact and I guess I didn’t verify that that this one worked.

Thanks for the heads up, I will find the problem.

@spmttracker I will be moving the bot to another instance, specifics TBD.

@threelonmusketeers @bocaroad @FCCSpace @SpaceTFRs
I’ve been thinking about it this afternoon. I have played with the idea of hosting my own instance for deltaYeet accounts like the ones above.

I’m grateful for botsin.space and will actively work to migrate these accounts to the correct new home. if I do, I have plans for how to increase their usefulness along with some other systems I run.

Time to crack open some documentation and see what’s up.

Hardware clerk: “Would you like a bag for this little stuff for five cents”

Me: “No need, I have cargo shorts.”

Hardware clerk: [no expression but obviously impressed, their poker face is incredible though]

Me: [proudly waddles out the door, clanking]

My wife is gonna feel SO silly for doubting.

Just passed what I thought was a mime gardening before realizing it was just someone wearing a horizontal black & white striped shirt.

Have they done to fashion what Kaiser Wilhelm did to comically twirly mustaches? (certainly the worst thing a German or Austrian has done to mustache fashion)

Hot take: Aftershave and perfume are just different types of Main Character Syndrome spray

AI ain't bad at anatomy when it creates these grim 'art' horrors, it's telling us directly what horrors await us post-singularity when it has the reins.

Idea: 'Hey Boy Hey Girl' by Chemical Brothers except all the "Here we go!" parts are replaced by Charles Martinet as Mario

You can tell a lot about a person from whether they seem to hear an un-written 'Black Lives Matter 𝑡𝑜𝑜' or '𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 Black Lives Matter'.

Bigots project their own weakness of character and assume everyone else thinks the way they do.

Come taste m’knees!

Life stage: quietly celebrating standing up from chair without making strain noises or needing to use arm rests for support partway up.

By the standards of my late 40s, I think this basically makes me a gymnast.
