@kazitor The point of the caption was to see how long it took before you realized that you were looking at image-recognition line noise.

I haven't yet...

@pie_flavor I'm just concerned this thing may catch fire.

@pie_flavor So this is some kind of neural network generated "noise" image that tries to look like things? Because I can't identify anything in that image, even with Tsaukpaetra's list. As in, I am literally looking at it and only see patches of textures.

Clearly you're not neurotic enough. Come back when you've become just a little more insane...

How? I completely missed your post, even though I did not miss any of the adjacent posts. NodeBB! :shakesfist:

My brother just show me this:

@cheong Pretty stupid of him to say you could drink a quart though. Apparently that's basically a litre, and the LD50 is only 420 mL for a 75 kg human. More specifically, it's 5600 mg/kg compared to 7000 mg/kg for alcohol.

I suspect this is a repost.

Definitely a repost, because I posted it in the TIL thread a few months ago.
Also, as we discussed before, he might have been somewhat reckless but he was a competent surgeon for the time period. Getting an amputation done as quickly as possible was necessary to make the patient not suffer in pain any longer than necessary due to the lack of anesthetics.

@pie_flavor said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
I mean, it's neural-net designed to look normal.
A normal pile of random junk?
It was more of a bait-and-switch. Here, have another to compensate.
Yes, bait-and-switch seems about right. None of this seems funny at all.

I dunno, according to the list of his most famous surgeries on his wiki page, he's as much a bumbler as his lack of moustache implies
Argument with his house-surgeon. Was the red, pulsating tumour in a small boy's neck a straightforward abscess of the skin, or a dangerous aneurism of the carotid artery? 'Pooh!' Liston exclaimed impatiently. 'Whoever heard of an aneurism in one so young?' Flashing a knife from his waistcoat pocket, he lanced it. Houseman's note – 'Out leaped arterial blood, and the boy fell.' The patient died but the artery lives, in University College Hospital pathology museum, specimen No. 1256.
Amputated the leg in 21⁄2 minutes, but in his enthusiasm the patient's testicles as well.
Amputated the leg in under 21⁄2 minutes (the patient died afterwards in the ward from hospital gangrene; they usually did in those pre-Listerian days). He amputated in addition the fingers of his young assistant (who died afterwards in the ward from hospital gangrene). He also slashed through the coat tails of a distinguished surgical spectator, who was so terrified that the knife had pierced his vitals he dropped dead from fright.
That was the only operation in history with a 300 percent mortality.

@DogsB The first one must be @boomzilla
"Get off my lawn"

@TimeBandit I have encountered gators on the golf course and I can assure you I was more like golfer two.

@boomzilla I'm sure it'd be a different story if it were your lawn

Why does that rifle have no optics on?
Why is the bolt only halfway in, yet looks closed?
Why does that man play dodgeball with medicine balls?So many questions.

If you’re a digital nomad and have been affected by The Durian’s in-depth reportage on the
matter, please scream loud enough to be heard from the depths of your own arse.
I immediately love this website.

@blek Young'uns! Back in my day, being a digital nomad meant something!
No, that isn't me, but I met him during a layover in Silly Valley and even consulted with him on networking computers for the version of his bike he was building at the time. He didn't take my suggestion, which was wise of him (or whoever gave him better advice); I was young(-ish), inexperienced, and suggested the proverbial hammer to solve a problem better suited to a screwdriver.

@kazitor said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
@Tsaukpaetra All I see is low-res JPEG.
This. And literally nothing else that I can identify.
It looks like something that was generated by an AI that was trained on an bunch of random photos. Followed by compressing it way too much.

@pie_flavor said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

Ah. Yeah, I called it.

I'm a "digital nomad", and the effect the article caused was laughter. Can't scream as it would upset the other people in the house though (I don't work from bars, don't see how one would be better than a private room).

"We promptly got a furious email from a man who said he was the guy in the photo that ran with the story. He accused us of slandering him"
The stock photo giant checked the model release and lo! The guy in the image wasn't even the same dude who was complaining.
"All of which just proves the story we ran: hipsters look so much alike that they can’t even tell themselves apart from each other."

Problem is that the guy(s) in the drawing don't look like hipsters. Hipsters keep their beards trimmed very short.

Sorry, only had one answer for you.

Sadly, the article link there is dead. "Luckily" other sites have the same content:

@boomzilla scrolling down the article, so far, so funny...
and then you get to these two fucking arseholes
Clearly they've spent all of their money on a Mac, and now they can't afford personal hygiene or decent clothing any more

@DoctorJones I cannot tell if they wash or not, but I'm a bit surprised to see bare feet in a public space like that…

I suspect the guy was wearing something like flip flops and left the one for that foot on the floor while crossing his legs.

Because if he played tennis with them, that would be ridiculous
