For my own sense of compartmentalizing, I've split my feed into two parts (and this is the new one). Over here, I focus on society, politics, and media. I miss the Obama years.

Hey @theonion.com !
Area father ruins breakfast. Father tried explaining "the same amount of pancake batter can make many small ones, or this one big Pacman Cake". It ended in tears when Pacman Pancake started chomping Daughter's cute small pancakes.

4 panel meme. Annakin says: "Car Tariff!", and Padme wonders if this will affect used cars. She pauses for a moment, and then asks "right?"

I wondered about TSLA put options @ $200, for about 5 seconds.. realizing volatility would be insane 💸
Yes, the implied volatility (IV) in this Tesla put options chain is very high. Let's break it down step by step. How to Read the Chart Strike Price – The chart is showing options for the $200 put strike price. This means traders are buying/selling contracts that give the right to sell Tesla stock at $200 before the expiration date. Expiration Dates (Exp Date) – The first column lists expiration dates, ranging from March 2025 to January 2027. Moneyness (%) – This shows how far out of the money (OTM) the option is. Since Tesla's current price is $234, the $200 strike is OTM by -16.65%. Bid, Ask, and Mid Prices – These show the range of prices at which traders are willing to buy/sell the option. Last Price & Change – The most recent trade price and how much it changed today. % Change (%Chg) – This column shows today's percentage price change in the option. Most of these Tesla put options are up over 100% today, which indicates extreme volatility. Volume & Open Interest (OI) Volume = Number of contracts traded today. Open Interest = Total contracts still open (not closed out). OI Chg = Change in open interest today (positive means more new positions are being opened). Delta – Measures how much the option price will move for every $1 move in Tesla stock. A delta of -0.24 to -0.26 means the option price moves by 24-26 cents for every $1 move in Tesla. Higher delta options are deeper in the money. Implied Volatility (IV) – This is the expected future volatility of the stock. 127.18% IV for short-term options is EXTREMELY high. Long-term options (2027) still have 61% IV, which is also high but lower than near-term contracts. High IV suggests wild price swings and expensive options. Is Tesla’s Option Volatility High Today? Yes!

As someone who started with Usenet in the 1980's, my little observation over time:
- watered down / non existent critical thinking skills
- "Netiquette" has been pushed aside
- attention spans splintered / shortened

the onramp to the information superhighway is jammed with Big Wheels
"A classic red, yellow, and blue Big Wheel tricycle with a large black front wheel and smaller black rear wheels. The front wheel has a yellow center hub and the words 'BIG WHEEL' printed on the tire. The seat is blue, and the handlebars are yellow. The onramp to the information superhighway is jammed with Big Wheels."
