  • The end? Is he dead now? Was this some kind of death-bed confession or something? Did he at least donate his time to the cause that he got paid so much to tear down?

    Oh, no, he’s just getting paid by someone new now. He doesn’t need credit, he cashed in just fine on MAGA and now he’d also like a check from the gays. The correct message is ‘Working for the nazis leaves a stain on your reputation that a compensated non-apology will not wash away’

    Are you by any chance a battered spouse, eager to accept any insincerity?




  • Rick and Morty did this once, Rick simply put on a hat with a QR code that made a robot army recognize him as a high level commander.

    A few days ago I read a short story, comp.basilisk.faq by David Langford, which sketched a world in which specific images could irreversibly crash the brain, leading to a full scale worldwide ban on images on the internet and many other places as well. The story postulated hundreds of potential info-hazards with many of them simple enough to be applied via stencil and spray paint. Two of them are branch families of the Mandelbrot set ‘and no we won’t tell you where, do not look’

    Other examples;

    • Snow Crash — Neal Stephenson
    • Blit — David Langford
    • The Atrocity Archives — Charles Stross
    • Doctor Who — “Blink” / “The Time of the Doctor”
    • SCP Foundation — SCP-096
    • SCP-7387 (“The Mathematician’s Grin”)
