tiktok is such an awful app, it’s almost designed to feed you misinformation and expose you to insane discourse. unlike beloved tumblr, the app that feeds me misinformation and exposes me to insane discourse
No, no, no, you see on tiktok an algorithm feeds you misinformation. On Tumblr I feed myself misinformation from my charcuterie board of hand-selected unhinged mutuals.
None of that mass market junk. Only artisanal, small batch, sustainably cultivated, fair trade horseshit.
There are instances where CGI ages gracefully, and I think the best examples are stylized 2D animation from the 2000’s or so.
Go rewatch Invader Zim. The show still looks shockingly good for being 20 years old, and none of the CGI looks dated, because it’s stylized to fit the look of the show.
Disney’s Atlantis
Lilo & Stitch
The Iron Giant
This is less a defense of CGI and more a defense of bringing back computer-assisted 2D animation.
Fun little math trick I find really helpful: the ratio of a mile to a kilometer is within 1% of the Golden Ratio. That means that if you have a good memory for Fibonacci numbers (1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89) you can convert pretty accurately by taking consecutive Fibonacci numbers.
For example, 89 kilometers is really close to 55 miles (55.3). Or, say you need to convert 26 miles to kilometers: 26 can be written as 21 plus 5, so taking the next Fibonacci number up gives 34 and 8, meaning it should be around 42 kilometers. Sure enough, it’s 41.8 km!
i need several moments, math like this scares me
Not gonna lie, as much as I want to be helpful and comprehensible, I am very proud of provoking that reaction image.
snapchat is an application of the devil if someone asks you for your snap know they have been infiltrated by demonic energy and their soul is no longer theirs frankly
special shoutout to all the 50+ year old men who record 2min basic tutorial videos for simple tasks with their shaky cell phone vertical camera and upload them to youtube to get like 20 views. y'all are the true backbone of society
