"This device creates a forcefield nearly equal to earth's magnetic field."
"So... it moves a needle slightly when it's suspended by its middle?"
"...YES."

It was a good effort by the director, but you can't make someone look intimidating on water skis. Just never.

OK, so the three factions so far are:
- Nazis
- Native Americans
- Australians
very curious who's up next

You can tell this was back when Marvel's net worth was three seashells and a tin can, because they didn't sue over those Captain America shoulder pads. #Monsterdon

AWWW YEAH, #Monsterdon #monsterdondoublefeature
Full disclosure: I thought #Waterworld was amazing when I first saw it. So, I may be moments away from becoming very disappointed in my younger self's taste.

@jilleduffy That drove me absolutely insane. Like, they were *literally* prepared for that. They defined their whole personality on the fact that they were prepared for that!

@jpoesen There's !bikenite@fedigroups.social (people also use the hashtag bikenite).
Also I just heard about this podcast yesterday, which sounds related: https://solarcast.cc/@solarcast/posts/ede04a09-2fb2-4f48-b30d-6f5e5b496535

@sophie@floss.social @gnome@floss.social @pojntfx@mastodon.social This looks great! I used to do the pomodoro technique all the time using an emacs plugin; then I stopped using emacs and stopped doing pomodoro along with it. I'll definitely check this out.

@augieray@mastodon.social Someone on bluesky pointed out that the "ignore all previous instructions" trick works on some of these bots, including the ones posting that exact phrase in your screenshot. You can just get them to suddenly start giving medical advice in Spanish.

Fun Fact: The Black Keys originally intended the song "Howling for You" to be the theme song for this movie, but they took a little too long and missed the release window by 25 years.

@thomholwerda@exquisite.social @osnews@mstdn.social @starlabssystems@mastodon.social Definitely! I was looking at them a while ago, and it has hard to find reviews.

@TechConnectify@mas.to Yes! Such a great point about discovery there.
And especially when it comes to "things that people can do themself that they haven't realized they can do themself," a video does a much better job of showing that you can, in fact, do it yourself.
Things have a way of always sounding a little more technical when they are written down.

@dangillmor@mastodon.social I took a Lyft to work today, and I think the driver was listening to an AI generated audiobook. The voiceover was definitely AI, and I'm pretty sure the content was, too. It was just this meaningless story with weird, repetitive sentences, and it went absolutely nowhere in the 30 minutes I had to listen to it.
I don't see what someone would get out of that.

@nateb@mastodon.thenewoil.org Nice! I recently picked it up but haven't gotten around to reading it yet.
I saw an interview with the writer, Alan Moore, where he said he's creeped out at comic cons when people come up to him and say things like "Rorschach is my spirit animal."
