WELL THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING.
A screenshot of a discussion that starts: "you can't be just friends with people of the gender you're attracted to" myth actually true. i, as a bisexual, can confirm that i have no friends. And then follows with a reply: pansexuals spend their lives in solitude, with only rocks for company And the final response below that: meanwhile asexuals are friends with everyone. literally every single person on the planet. i do not know how i remember so many names

Oh if you insist.
A picture of a Steam Machine with a NeXT logo, green power button, drive bays, and that NeXT kind of stripey part decoration part testarossa intake strakes that aren't. It's a mash of disparate things but damn it's fine.

20 years this year since I got to get a few stabs into The Australian via Media Watch.

Delicious times.

They're the single most frequent your-supplied-artwork-doesn't-add-up that I come across, more so than calenders.

Below is the worst I kept, where I let a designer know that the Qty-per-serving (20g) would be less - as in one fifth the per 100g value.

So they subtracted 20g from each one.
A pair of nutritional info panels for some sauce. on the left side, it shows serving size is 20g, and has a column for quantities of energy, protein, fat, carbs and sodium per 100g of product. The column for "qty per serving" shows identical numbers. On the right side is the same info panel, but the qty per serving has been 'fixed' to contain numbers simply 20 less than the qty per 100g, which leads to 20g serving having 1360kj energy but 1380kj per 100g. Also completely nonsensical protein values of 0.6g for 100g and -19.4g for 20g.

It's a little known fact that I am a victim of the lysine contingency.

I can't manufacture the amino acid lysine.

Unless I'm continually supplied with it, I will die.

Wait never mind. absolutely forgot some of the food I eat glows.

The remains of breakfast under UV a while back.

No mystery. the world is good. as you were.
A photo of the remains of breakfast one morning, a KEEP CALM AND HOP TO IT coffee mug, a white plain plate, and the blood of a yautja I ate for breakfast spread across the plate. Actually just the oils from a couple of pieces of turmeric & chilli buttered toast.

The cracks in my iPhone glow green under UV.

Normally oils, including those on skin, absorb UV, which makes hair follicles appear quite dark.

Perhaps something else I'm exposed to at work that I push through the surface is glowing green and embeds in the cracks. Another part of skin, ink, soap...
A photo of an iPhone laying on a crazed and distressed desk surface. It has a shattered screen, and bright purple light is shining in from the side. Where it touches the cracks on the screen, they glow in green. A close-up photo of the green-glowing cracks on an iPhone's screen. Below the surface of the cracks appears to be a ring of hazy spreading glow as well, looking like whatever substance is glowing might have been pressed into the cracks, and having reached the surface below, has spread out.

Ahhhhh ahhh ahh this is beautiful. I posted your post to our fam group chat (after my diagnosis at 52) and then gently ribbed my mum for her cane furniture obsession.

She told me my sis had a big mouth.

SHE HAD LITERALLY JUST BOUGHT MORE.

I had no idea - except that it's what she always does.
A screenshot of a group chat between me, my mum, and my sis. I posted Janel's post about how it's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports - being diagnosed late as "a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child". Below that paste, my mum posts a surprised emoji. I reply asking her how the cane furniture is - because my mum is known for buying ALL the cane furniture, all the time, and has since forever. Mum tells me "She's got a big mouth" meaning my little sis. And she pastes a pic of a cane outdoor chair she LITERALLY BOUGHT TODAY. My little sis says "I NEVER SAID NUTHIN WASN'T ME I BEEN ASLEEP!" and I laughed, and replied that I was only talking generally, how was I to know she bought more. I knew because IT IS WHAT SHE DOES.

A picture of cool crab from Print Shop Deluxe, with the print shop deluxe logo in the top corner and "the crab of the cool". the whole thing is in the same kind of format as the prodigy's Fat of the Land album cover, also with a blurred crab. but not as cool.

A mouse using a trackpad.
A photo of a really plump beige mouse with one paw on the trackpad of a PowerBook 540C. Below the small trackpad is a button almost as large, and behind that the keyboard. All the plastics are a mid-dark grey, and the lettering on the keyboard is white. The mouse looks somewhat confused; it's probably having some trouble using Excel or something.

Curves.
A photo of the rear of a Macintosh PowerBook G3 Wallstreet, showing its serial port, ethernet port, scsi, s-video out and VGA out ports. The port cover is folded down to show them. Past the edge of the cover are some furnace-looking air vents, and below that a shiny little infrared port.

Tidied the collection a little.
A photo of some tidied Mac shelves, with some VT100s on the top shelf, a few little late 80s platinum Macs below that, then all the odd little G4 towers in the middle. Underneath that is a shelf of mostly laptops/notebooks and then all the best of the G5/Mac Pro modells. to the right is another set of shelves holding mostly CRT display Macs. Almost every single one of them is just mildly, subtly wrong.

From the Deluxe Paint days, 1987 or so - I was 16.
A hand-dithered pic of a chinchilla done in Deluxe Paint years back. It's a bluish purple pixeled image, probably about 8 colours, of a fluffy white chinchilla cat doing a thousand yard stare after being locked on a floppy disk somewhere for near forty years.

Here, Iced Volvo.
A photo of an 80s Volvo drifting sideways in snow. Below its mid-line styling ridge it's the colour of crisp biscuit. Above, it's the colour of pink icing, and a spread of jam down the middle. There is snow on the bonnet and roof. Iced. Volvo.

This might be the one, a Performa 110
A picture of a Macintosh performa 110, a wedgy console-like mac built in the proportions of an Amiga 500. With the keyboard of an AEKII and a single floppy drive, it’s just beautiful and wants to be loved.

For joy.
The divided interior hallway of a circa 1910 apartment building has wood paneled walls, vintage tile floors, stairway in the background with newel post and absolutely no small wastebasket lined with a plastic trash bag for quick disposal of junk mail cluttering up the place, removed for easy eyes to rest on the lack of.

Oh gods. The bottom pic is my hometown’s courthouse clock.
A photo made of two images. On top labeled 1955 is a screenshot from back to the future with doc emmet brown hanging from the clock trying to plug in power sockets to pump 1.21 jigawatts into a delorean. The bottom pic is the bathurst courthouse clock taken at the exact same angle and labeled 2025 and it… really looks very very much the same.
