It’s fucking hilarious that so many STEM clowns look down on philosophy when about 90% of science is, “How sure am I that I know what I think I know?”
Which is and always will be a philosophical question.
Amusing
Alg
Yay, guys, we’re ahead of Algeria! Woooo!
(I have no idea where that list is from, but seems about right to me.)
Weir Wire
Used to be me. But anymore, nah. I got to get weirder.
Ambinyet
YouTube, bro, why do you keep pushing ambient playlists on me? I don’t listen to ambient music and despise 99.99999% of it. I listen to noisy weirdo music, mostly. What is that about?
LAN Plan
They want me to fix their computer as an ‘interview test.’
Oh, I want to do this. I’d go in and fuck everything up royally and leave. I wish it were closer. So many companies these days have interview tests and tasks that are just scam attempts to get free work.

And just think: These people are about average. Many people are way dumber than anything you see there (I grew up with doofs like this, so they existed pre-smartphone. But I do think it has gotten a lot worse.)

Landlord put a 2nd fake window on my rental.
That is some hilarious stuff. And glad we never had a landlord this bad.
Muld
Same, same.
Flat Wrong
About twice a day, I think about the Ian Welsh (et al.) pre-war contention that resistance in Ukraine was impossible because it is flat. And I have a good hearty laugh.
It’s such a great source of amusement. Why would you listen to anything that doof or those like like him claim after that, I have not a clue.
But at least it was entertainingly dipshitty.
Ham It Up
This made me laugh more than is easy to explain.
Huffing It
It is true. We are in the dumbest timeline.
Double Dumb
Did the Particle Go Through the Two Slits, or Did the Wave Function?
These Hacker News discussions are always amusing. Every single commenter (and I do mean every single one, no exceptions) has no goddamn idea what they are talking about. It’s all hilariously wrong. The source article is also half crap, but that’s to be expected. That goofus is attempting again to sneak superdeterminism in.
Anyway, don’t read anything like those HN comments to learn anything. Read them to be amused, like you were listening to someone describe American football using the rules of cricket or something. Otherwise, they’ll just make you dumber.
Passenger
Ok that’s pretty fucking funny. And these types also cheer for Russia too. Horseshoe theory and all that.
Disputin’
According to utter idiot clowns like Ian Welsh, the Russo-Ukrainian war is completely the fault of the US. Russia and Ukraine had nothing to do with it and it all could’ve been avoided if Ukraine had just bowed down to Putin when he demanded it. Merely give him what he wanted and all would’ve been peachy. No country has agency besides the US, of course. And no individual people either.
Right.
It never seems to click with doofuses like Welsh that their belief that the US is incompetent, ineffective and omnipotent all at the same time does not make any goddamn sense. It’s similar to the common Dem refrain that Obama was simultaneously Jesus Christ, Norman Schwarzkopf, Einstein and a tiny helpless little baby with absolutely no power all at once. Ian Welsh (and many like him) both loathe the United States and wish they could be Americans. That explains a lot of the cognitive dissonance.
The rest is explained by garden variety stupidity.
Plode
Great, just what we need. Now we’ve added spontaneous human combustion to our list of problems.
