Someone showed me how GPT responds to showing a seahorse emoji. It goes on like this for PAGES 😬😅😱🫠
The user asks ChatGPT “Is there a seahorse emoji?!”. What follows is sad, hilarious meltdown as it tries to respond.

Sure fire way to get me to use your boosters in your f2p game? Make the UI painful to look at when I accumulate too many.
Pre-game booster selection from a match-3. The first two show a quantity label of 100, but the font is squished to fit the space. The last only has 99 and looks much nicer because its two digits can use a larger font size.

I use an app called When Did I… to keep track of these things. Some are for my own curiosity while others are genuine reminders. I wish the app could send a notif when something is overdue. It’s pretty barebones.

Note: The garage cat bedding has been washed more recently than that
A screenshot from the app When Did I…? listing some tasks I track. Shown are: Inspect sprinklers, wash garage cat bedding, de-root pipes, fertilize garden, drain water heater, inspect under house, blow up fireplace balloon, clean dishwasher filter, clean clothes washer filter, and vacuum under fridge.

In this remote town of Ittoqqortoormiit is a restaurant, the Orormersiarderdarpi Grill Café. Strangely for such a small town, the cafe has thirty reviews. The reviews are… odd.

Google Maps zoomed in on the Greenland town of Ittoqqortoormiit. Google highlights a Denmark Church, Port of East Greenland, and a restaurant called Orormersiarderdarpi Grill Café.

Mini rabbit hole.

A random mobile game sent me searching for Nuuk, capital of Greenland. Off in the corner, Gmaps shows another town with a curious name Ittoqqortoormiit.

Thronglets have the best nag notifications
Four notifications from the Thronglets game. They are snarky. For instance: “You seem uncaring, Jeff, please log in and change the Throng’s opinion of you.”

This UI is so messy omg what were you thinking Apple. (I’m on a Metric kick after their local show was cancelled.)
Screenshot of the iOS music app. Current song at top with two buttons on the right and three underneath. Music queue under that, each with a grab handle on the right. Current son progress bar under that. Rev/play/ff buttons under that. Volume bar under that. Utility buttons under that along the bottom.

I really hate websites/services that accept any random email address to sign up for things. It's used everywhere and I get loads of them due to my email address being a common format.

Ars covered this "feature" recently.

Screenshot of "Curbside pickup" confirmation sent to me, but intended for someone named "Sabrina Cartier". The sender used my address by accident to assign an "alternative pickup person".

Why the hell do I have this ginormous DVI cable?

This box of analog A/V cables will likely be buried with me for all the willpower I have to throw them out

Got my Wordle 3-win count even with my 4-win count thanks to them running out of possible solutions due to not repeating. Now to get the 2+3 to match 4+5
A screenshot of my Wordle statistics. Number of wins for 1-6 guesses are 1, 37, 371, 371, 135, and 21. Today’s win was a 3-guesser that brought it even with my 4-guesses.

I just found out how to use the Automation feature to set orientation lock on a per-app basis. Take that, Messages app.

Imagine a world where you can either report a spammer or tell them to fuck off, but not both. Which would you choose?

Coworker brought in these treats that are amazingly good and easy to make. Melt a Rolo and squish it between a pretzel and a walnut. Boom!
