Yep, the one driving factor in the mass adoption of any new technology, especially when it comes to media consumption, is convenience. All other factors, like quality, cost, or restrictions (like DRM or availability) are secondary. This has played out the same in every single format war, from Laser Disc, VHS, DVD, cassette, vinyl, MP3, torrents, and streaming services. If you can make something more convenient than what came before, you win.

While oat milk is relatively new, almond milk and soya milk are older than the legal protections the milk industry is trying to use. Almond milk has been almond milk for near enough a thousand years, soya milk is close to twice as old. Basically the word milk hasn't referred exclusively to mammal milk for as long as the word milk has existed.

Ball pythons are just so god damn cute, I love those puppy faces.

They do very little when the issue is massive wealth inequality and the hoarding of wealth by very few. This spends around £15 per person. It's doing diddly squat.

This line gets a laugh out of me on every rewatch.

I remember a guy on Reddit asking if boofing yeast would induce this, as he wanted to be drunk all the time but didn't like how expensive alcohol was. I wonder if he ever achieved his goal.

I love this album. So good.

If you haven't played What Remains Of Edith Finch, and you like games with an excellent narrative, treat yourself and get it. It's a short game, you can complete it in an evening, but the story it tells is beautiful.

79 million / 2500 = 31,600

I think at least a few of those people could've kept their jobs.

I was just walking to work one day, when I got heckled in the street by some random guy singing at me:

"Earthworm Jim, you're so much fun to play. Earthworm Jim, you're tall, you're thin, you're gay!"

I've never been more seen.

 

I'm still not sure I believe this is real, but loved these games as a kid, glad to be able to return to them.
