Cake day: February 11th, 2025








  • Reminds me of the post from the cat owner who hear a noise and first reaction was, “I’m going to shove my finger so far up your little asshole!” because they thought their cat was up to mischief again only to later realize they unintentionally scarred a burglar for life.









  • 100% agree. I regularly use spellcheck and access encyclopedias / dictionaries to doublecheck myself. I think grammarly was a great invention. But, once it went from analyzing voice/tone/mood to fully written block text many people just assumed they didn’t have to learn to write anymore. My humble brag is that I don’t use predictive text on any device. That makes me slower than others to respond. But in my mind it means I have to think about how to articulate just a bit more and, personally, I think I read more closely because of that too.

    I get the point. I’ve even posted about how absurd a billion dollars is. But, here’s the problem with the post’s absurdism: $5,000 a day since 1492 would be well over a billion dollars today, assuming things like investing, real-estate, and inflation still exist. Given that, for reference, $5K / year was uber rich around the victorian era, you’d definitely be a multi-billionaire if you’ve had access to that kind of money since 1492.
