You're right, no human would stack and carve rocks like this.
  • Grinding is another possibility. Rubbing rocks together isn't a very complicated technology.

  • Thousands of toxins from food packaging found in humans – research
  • Ugh...

    A "toxin" is a poisonous substance produced by a living organism. While all toxins are toxic to something, not all things that are toxic are toxins. As an example caffeine would meet the definition of a toxin (poisonous to insects and mammals in sufficient doses), arsenic would not (poisonous to almost all life, but not produced by a living organism).

    Sorry for being so pedantic, but this is a pet peeve of mine.

  • An old comic still relevant
  • The groceries in the passenger seat are a nice touch, because of course there's gonna be no trunk space.

  • Kentucky sheriff charged in judge’s death allegedly ignored deputy’s abuse of woman in his chambers
  • Three charges related to a second woman were dismissed because she is now dead.

    Yeah... I'd like to know more about that.

  • Project Analyzing Human Language Usage Shuts Down Because ‘Generative AI Has Polluted the Data’
  • Yeah, when I was looking for information about Tears of the Kingdom around 90% of my search results was AI slop. I think was looking for info about how weapon durability and fusion worked and I kept getting a badly reworded version of the explanation of fusion from the gameplay teaser.

    Actually.. that reminded me of another TotK search I did, I was looking for where to farm some variety of lizalfos tails and kept getting AI articles that confused BotW locations with TotK. Amusingly, I eventually tried Google's chatbot out of exasperation and it actually proved more accurate than my search results.

  • 'Beyond stupid': McConnell begs House Republicans not to blow election with a shutdown
  • Even a turtle realizes when something can threaten its existence.

  • NYPD can't find knife at center of Brooklyn subway bystander shooting
  • Hey now, don't worry. I'm sure this will all be cleared up when the bodycam footage is released and it clearly shows the police being menaced with a knife... right?

  • Israel says 'high probability' its own airstrike killed 3 hostages in Gaza last November
  • Ah... well. You know the old saying, you can't make a genocide without killing a few hostages.

  • Nvidia CEO: "We can't do computer graphics anymore without artificial intelligence"
  • Gee, we've had over a half century of computer graphics at this point. However, suddenly when a technology arises that requires obscene amount of GPU's to generate a results a GPU manufacturer is here to tell us that all computer graphics without that new technology is dead for... reasons. I cannot see any see any connections between these points.

  • Trump Wants to Hire 'Free Spirit' Laura Loomer. MAGA Allies Think She's Nuts
  • I'd also like to add she's dumb as a rock, just in case anyone missed that.

  • What in the fresh hell is this?
  • Spez is a pretty standard tech bro, so of course he wants to jam "AI" into everything he can.

  • Trump says Harris debate was 'rigged,' ABC should lose license, but 'we did great'
  • Trump is a psychopath that should not be allowed to drive a car let alone a country.

    Good news then, presidents and former presidents aren't allowed to drive themselves. So at least we won't have to deal with Trump claiming that deep state operatives switched the gas and brake peddles.

  • TIL there's such a thing as vegetarian Spam
  • It's probably better then the days old garbage they usually scavenge. And I cut off the moldy part too.

  • TIL there's such a thing as vegetarian Spam
  • I bought one of those vegan Spam-a-likes and I have to say I really didn't like it.

    I my thought process was "Spam's so heavily processed, how much worse could it be if no meat were involved?" the answer turned out to be "A lot." I don't know how to describe it. It's like... you know how there are all beef hot dogs, but they don't taste anything like beef? It was kinda that but with Spam... but Spam isn't very meat like to begin with.

    All that being said, after the plant based Spam sat in my fridge until it started to get fuzzy, I threw it out for the stray cats in my neighborhood. Despite the fact I found it to be quite unappealing, starving alley cats found it to be meat like enough to eat it... which I guess is a mark in it's favor?

  • Canva says its AI features are worth the 300 percent price increase
  • I'm guessing the hype train has slowed down, the initial investment money has been pocketed uppermost management so now the middle managers have been tasked with "Make the company profitable somehow or your fired." So they're hiking prices to try and fill a massive hole in the budget and they're using AI slop production as a fig leaf to cover it up.

  • I see a lot of green tomato canning in my future
  • You could also try leaving a sprinkler watering your plants. I've managed to get tomatoes through mild (and some not so mild) freezes that way.

  • Illegal voting by noncitizens is rare, yet Republicans are making it a major issue this election
  • Don't forget the voter suppression before the election. They'll have long list of blue voters that must be purged because maybe one of them is illegally voting.

  • Suspects in foiled plot to attack Taylor Swift show aimed to kill 'tens of thousands'
  • Honestly, I was expecting Christian nationalist. Especially since over the past decade Taylor's gone from the right-wings idealized "aryan goddess" to "Evil woke woman who must be degraded at every opportunity".

  • What's up with all the $99 games with a 95+% discount on Steam?

    So I was browsing SteamDB.info looking at the various games on sale when I noticed there were a bunch of games (usually from the publisher Hede, but there's quite a few others) listed as having a discount in the high nineties, yet still costing in the neighborhood of 30-50 dollars. Even odder when I go to the game's Steam, it's not listed as being on sale and costs the... "normal" price of $99.99.

    I'm just wondering A) What the scam is here, B) How a SteamDB.info is getting $99.99 dollar game as costing 30-ish dollars when it's 97% off but at the same time it's apparently not actually on sale?
