Throw Out Your Black Plastic Spatula
  • I don't blame you, very few people know this and it's not intuitive. With plastic items, everyone learns early that they don't take heat well. Arguably, it's not much of a problem anymore since every metal container and silverware is stainless steel and basically only aluminum foil remains. At least now you know why coins make that smell in a sweaty hand.

  • You'd be disappointed about many retro game jam rules...

    At least the Game Boy is very predictable: the biggest limitation is the screen and buttons so if it's graphics based on 8x8 tiles plus reasonably sized sprites, or fullscreen pics at low frame rate, it can most likely do it.
    However, the SNES could do wild stuff (some graphics modes feature high color depth or double resolution) but anything more complex than All Stars required quite a bit of trickery. Yes, 512px horizontally, 480i, 3D perspective of a plane, color math etc. have been achieved but each takes a significant portion of the resources so it's very hard to pin down the limitations of what would be possible at once. Not to mention enhancement chips...

  • Wow, an actual ROM and not someone just dialing down the resolution and color depth in an engine that would have no chance of running on 8-bit HW!

  • There is just one jack'o'lantern left (it's probably a more practical shape) so yes, people seem to buy them at different rates.

  • In a hospital I've been to, there is a skeleton poster by the MRI machine manufacturer (I think Siemens) smugly subtitled "without imaging techniques we wouldn't know". Apparently, it's not just internet randos who forget. Too bad I can't find it online.

  • I yeet my food so high it stays in the air/orbit just long enough before I plan to eat it. Sometimes, it hits wild geese on the way up and they get cooked during reentry.

  • Well, you need wet food, metal and another metal all touching each other for this to happen. I've seen my sister make the mistake IRL so it certainly does.

  • I don't mind seeing vids with small numbers (many are genuinely cool) but I avoid 500k and above (except music) because the mainstream is mostly clickbait.

  • Food and two different metals at once (that also touch each other) shouldn't either.

    Basically, electrochemistry happens and the metal breaks down, seeping into the food. This is problematic for aluminum.

    Nun ernst: Genau wie „Hain“ ist tschechisches „háj“ ein poetisches Begriff für Gehölz. Warum wird aber ausschießlich in Harz die slawische Aussprache verwendet?

    Kamala Harris is known to love Venn diagrams and would be cringing hard at this.

    For reference, circles in Venn (Euler) diagrams are sets of objects with a certain property. Select objects are shown inside or outside of each circle depending on whether they belong to the set. A good example is xkcd 2962: !Hard to imagine political rhetoric more microtargeted at me than 'I love Venn diagrams. I really do, I love Venn diagrams. It's just something about those three circles.'

    Sure to annoy IT people but those just need a line of text while the rest of the screen is free real estate for Micro$oft! Public BSODs tend to go viral too.

    The canvas can be explored (no longer edited) at canvas.fediverse.events.

    The picture comes from the official Canvas 2024 end post but scaled up 4x for comfortable viewing.

    There is a Fediverse-wide canvas event at canvas.fediverse.events (currently temporarily down with no ETA). Is the KDE community participating?

    !

    I redrew this Kiki icon as pixel art and I can, and probably will, place this image myself, as it's just 282 non-white pixels; I just want to know if anyone is going to draw the KDE logo, Konqi or other imagery so we can all be in one area.

    1:1 image that can be used as a template: !

    If you have any KDE art you'd like to add, including better versions of Kiki, feel free to post them! I can adjust the palette into this year's 34-color one or even redraw high-res images as pixel art for you.

    Edit: THANKS TO EVERYONE

    I thought that given the size of the trans community, perhaps the 100 px size would be just right for a nice 3:2 aspect ratio. Meanwhile, you madlads managed to span the entire width!

    ----

    Go help draw at canvas.fediverse.events!

    Edit: DESTROY THE DITHERING

    Yes, it's just me who did the dithering but it turns out dithered stripes grow slower because people are afraid of placing pixels that would disrupt the pattern. Just fill the checkered area fully and continue with random pixels.

    Edit: currently down :/
