  2. "Aerospace Flowchart" by #XKCD comic - The Law of the Instrument says that if your only tool is a hammer, then you'd think everything looks like a nail. XKCD found an #aerospace geek application for it. xkcd.com/3298/ #aviation #avgeek #engineering #WTF #satire #humor #humour

  3. Finally! An anatomy diagram that explains the existence of vagina-feet adult toys… #AISlop #WTF

  4. Ce soir, interruptions du trafic CFF entre Lausanne et Genève à cause d’un dommage à la ligne de contact, annulation de l’IC Lausanne–Neuchâtel, et annulations depuis Bienne également. Comme par hasard ça arrive à chaque fois que je dois être à la maison à l’heure pour pouvoir m’occuper des filles.

    C’est quoi cette mascarade ?

  6. I really, really hate it when Tucker Carlson says things I agree with.

    > Why Tucker Carlson has effectively endorsed Abdul El-Sayed for Senate. ms.now/opinion/tucker-carlson-

    > “There is nothing remotely crazy about those remarks,” Carlson wrote. “El-Sayed did not celebrate airplane hijackings or cheerlead Al-Qaeda; he simply said that the U.S. conducting terrorism of its own in response to 9/11 was not exactly an appropriate reaction. He is obviously right.”

  11. CW: So someone is having an unhinged talk about trying to transform KDE into an Agentic Desktop. This month in Germany, that's crazy.

    Like, I don't know what I just read, besides buzzwords the presentation to be perfectly honest. The only thing that makes sense about this whole presentation is making KDE more usable, stable, and beautiful!

    We can skip the AI-Native part because that is just garbage. Full-stop. As that is just a corpo buzzword that doesn't mean anything particularly good or useful. The Sovereign talk is a mix of yikes, because one the one hand...Europe shouldn't be dependent on any one country for technology or software.

    However, they shouldn't be wasting their time chasing a dead end known as "AI" it's just a funding sink that none of the chuds (USA, China, Europe) will be able to manifest. They didn't do the centuries of background work required to make it a potential reality. Strengthened our understanding of power generation/storage, neuroscience, consciousness, etc.

    Chasing a dead end will only lead to a worse climate outcome, living conditions, and economic situation when it all comes crashing the fuck down. Just think of the brain drain that will happen because bright young minds are dulled and critical thinking erased because LLMs do it for those dullard people. Big fucking yikes.

  15. CW: USA, Meds, Loratadine, Some Now With Milk Sugar

    I occasionally use loratadine for allergies, and the latest bottle of pills was (newly) very sweet. Bottle only listed active ingredient (loratadine, obv.) and nowt else. Turns out, at least in the bottle I have (care one), they're adding lactose monohydrate (milk sugar) for sweetness, and not listing it on the bottle. Had to hit NIH's med ingredients site to find out. Not gonna hurt me, but I had a moment, because that's never been sweet before.

    And, y'know, not listing an allergen that's common - but listing that the product is GF - is super cool. Might have been listed on the box and I missed it, but handwaves a definite WTF moment. No idea if this is the new thing to do, but I guess cavaet bloody emptor again.

    NIH site in question: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=bbd5424f-fa5b-4955-8542-7011b19400ea

  17. A #SpaceMirror Will Test Turning Night Into Day. What To Know About the Controversial Project

    by Jeffrey Kluger, Jul 14, 2026

    Excerpt: "The company envisions multiple uses for sun-reflecting satellites: assisting search and rescue operations, allowing construction projects to operate around the clock, charging solar power stations, increasing crop yield. But critics cite all manner of risks. Human and animal #CircadianRhythms could be badly affected if the sun—or a simulacrum of it—never sets. The practice of changing the clocks by a mere hour twice a year is already known to mess with human sleep-wake cycles, after all. Plants could bloom when they shouldn’t and die before their time. Orbital mirrors flashing and winking back to Earth could distract airline pilots. Finally, #LightPollution is already interfering with astronomical observations—a problem made even worse by satellite constellations like #SpaceX’s 10,000-strong #Starlink fleet. #ReflectOrbital’s 50,000 birds would dwarf even that."

  18. In the dim dark ages, I played in a big band. One rehearsal, the director conflated the titles "String of Pearls" and "Little Brown Jug" saying "String of Jugs". A trombone player called out "Little Brown Pearls" which elicited groans of revulsion from the band. Now Godiva is making actual little brown pearls. #wtf #wtaf #badIdea #badProduct

  19. Wow my fucking Facebook is actively Tranphobic and homophobic again almost as if mego-corpos can only be bigotted.

  20. Ich bin ja auf der Suche nach einem elektrischen Zweitwagen für die Familie.
    Gerade fällt mir ein EV6 auf, der genau ins Raster passen würde - bis ich die Leistung gelesen habe. 430kW / 585PS ... #wtf?? Das bringen die nicht als Dauerleistung, klar..
    Aber wer bitte braucht bei einer Alltagskutsche knapp 600PS??

  21. Heue kam mir die ApothekenUmschau in die Hände. Blätter, blätter...
    Anzeige (!) des BfDI unter dem Titel Die elektronische Patientenakte (ePA)
    Unter WICHTIG ZU WISSEN in weißer Schrift auf pinkem Hintergrund:

    "Ob und wie die ePA Ihrer Gesundheit nützt, ist noch unsicher."

    Ähäm, wem mag die ePA dann nützen? Wartet, komm gleich von selbst darauf...

    Und zwei Gedankenstriche darüber:
    "Die ePA ist technisch aufwendig gesichert, aber unbefugter Zugriff kann nicht vollstandig ausge-
    schlossen werden."
