Ask me about dinosaurs

I write code and make music and one day will make a movie
Pinned
Finally finished the video!

I'm going to have a baby soon, but I don't know how to take care of babies. So I made a simulator to learn from the public how to keep a baby alive.

What the hell guys!

"That was the final straw" is referencing the straw that broke the camel's back??!!

When were you going to tell me!

Our baby just projectile coughed milk into my mouth

Just a warning, for those interested in having children

There's a Wikipedia category page called "Individual Rocks"

Unfortunately it doesn't list every rock that exists

But it's still surprisingly interesting to skim through

Middle school insults have gotten advanced

Today I was told that I have a "reddit moderator voice" and it hurt me deeply

If aliens evolved underwater, I bet it would be craazzy when they finally made it to space and realized how far they could see

Like underwater visibility is measured in tens or hundreds of feet! Can you imagine going from that to seeing your solar system and stars millions of light years away??

It's really poor timing that now, of all times, they released a movie called Greenland 2: Migration

Do you think the people at lionsgate debated delaying the movie

Thanks everybody for checking out the wrapped! I figured maybe a dozen people would see it, but instead it was 500!

Seeing people *actually* use it makes me feel much less guilty about all of the time I spent on it

I'm a programmer and I'm bored

ask me tech questions and I will answer in 3 words with either the real answer or a lie but I won't tell you which

Bluesky Nerdfighteria Wrapped coming soon. I had to sift through a LOT of data for this

Somebody should tell @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social about the Dr pepper baby jingle on TikTok if he hasn't heard it yet

TikTok is literally trying to sell me a swastika necklace what the fuck is happening

There's this Swedish guy named Max Martin that wrote I Want It That Way by The Backstreet Boys. He somewhat famously didn't know english very well and just wrote lyrics that felt good to sing. Later they rerecorded with lyrics that made sense but it was way less popular

Skyler doesn't know what Daniel Craig sounds like outside of Knives Out and I think that's incredible

It's crazy that Jurassic World had to make mutants like indominus rex and indoraptor when they could have just used an allosaurus

Famously the most coked out and aggressive dinosaur

You could write almost any crazy behavior and the dino community would go "yeah they probably did that"

Last night I discovered that in Letterboxd if you shake your phone after midnight, gremlins appear

It was much more alarming as I was falling asleep

We walked into a restaurant that has this horse lamp and it immediately had me bewitched, body and soul

Birds are by definition dinosaurs, which means that dinosaur chicken nuggets are technically made of actual dinosaur meat

Babies are like campfires in that when a bunch of people are around one, it's totally socially acceptable to go spend an extended period of time silent and dissociating while staring at it
