1338) Voidbot. Should you venture backward or forward far enough through time and space, you will find the place/moment where dimensions fold in on themselves, spiraling into infinity, an all-consuming eternity, where there is only V O I D B O T. #SmallRobotsRemonstered #Halloween

A series of indistinct, nested glowing trails, all spiralling inwards towards a black, central void. Each trail describes a logarithmic 'golden spiral' rotated 45 degrees with respect to each of its neighbours so that the whole frame is filled with an irising swirl of light and dark. The edge of each trail is picked out with random(ish) black dots, making them appear fragmented and hazy, as if they are perhaps great bands of stellar matter, the remains of galaxies drawn into some cosmic gravitational maw. And in that maw there is a little smiling face, tilted at a slight angle, which looks like it's faintly glowing.

1086) Sinisterbot. Just showed up this morning, looming over everything. We don't know why. It won't answer any questions. Bit worried tbh. #SmallRobotsRemonstered #Halloween

A huge, pyramidal robot looming over a dark, curved horizon. The front of the robot is in shadow, and it has a stern expression on its face.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Some of the arrogant assholes on this app need to have whole humble pie, for fucks sake.

Have some shame, or just go away with your friends and do something, leave us the rest of us out of it. In Silence, no need to make people feel ashamed because "they are not at your level". Assholes.

A picture with several posts in the same thread:

First one: "once again i am dreaming of an approved-members-only php forum for professional/high-caliber artists that is read-only to the public because honestly you've all had it too good for too long"

Second one: "I'm mostly joking but I do have to say the best thing about this place is how nice it's been to be able to properly connect and make friends with other artists, and talk shop with each other. Discord is great for private chats, but I WANT a lot of these chats to be public!"

Third one: "I guess you could have a read-only discord server for everyone except certain roles, but the joy of old forums were that they were also searchable, and I'd love for all those valuable resources and discussions to be easily stumbled upon by the public who are looking for that kind of thing."

Last one: ""but that's gatekeeping"
yeah, well, it's just that when you leave it open to everyone you get 200 people posting anime fanart pencil drawings asking for crits. and that's FINE, it just doesn't teach ME anything Imao. I want a space to learn too! I need people at or above my skill level!"

People imagine picking up and finding *something better* is an easy solution. But how is that supposed to work, when all your time and energy goes to staying alive? You have almost nothing to set aside to actually fight your way out.

1591) Lesbianbot. Is just a tiny lesbian!

A small, spherical robot with banded arms and legs and an antenna. The bobble of the antenna has a little female symbol on it, and the robot is lifting up its arms, smiling joyfully with its eyes closed.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.

Just the start.

Common sense.
