A screenshot of the game pokémon TCG pocket. My Eevee is dealing from 120 damage to my opponents Mew ex because it flipped six heads on an attack that says: flip a coin until you get tails and do 20 damage for each heads

I wish this worked, maybe I'll learn how to run my own version of Ruby to figure out if it's even possible
Screenshot of Of try.ruby-lang.org with the code in the editor being: a, b ||= [1,2] And the output showing an error of an unexpected assignment operator because You can't assign two variables at once with the double pipe operator. Ps I was going to make this picture on my computer so I could change the words that The cartoon drawings by _why (the two silly foxes) are saying to say "I wish this worked" but oh well

Reading 'Metaprogramming Ruby' by Paolo Perrotta and my brain is broken now
Picture of a page of text with a code snippet from the aforementioned book. There is a paragraph that says "Now that you know about Flat Scopes, you can do pretty much whatever you want with scopes. For example assume you want to share a variable among a few methods, and you don't want anybody else to see that variable. You can do that by defining all the methods in the same Flat Scope as the variable: (Ruby code below) def define_methods shared = 0 Kernel.send :define_method, :counter do shared end Kernel.send :define_method, :inc do |x| shared += X end end define_methods counter #=> 0 inc(4) counter #=> 4

Was gonna check out Rednote but this was their interests page and I decided i'll hold off
A grid of AI generated garbage on Red notes's Select Your Interests page. The image is a three wide grid of square tiles scrolling off the bottom of the screen. Each tile has a small empty circle indicating you can mark it as one of your interests by tapping. Each tile also has the name of the interest in the bottom left.

NEVER CONCEDE LMAOOO

my opponent thought they lost but didn't look at the energies, this deck isn't even running water energy I never plan on using Greninja's attack I just bricked super hard but still won 💀💀
Screenshot of Pokemon TCG pocket where both my opponent and I have 2 points, (aka we are both one KO away from winning the battle) and they have a Squirtle with full 60hp in the active spot with 5 water counters (yeah they hit 4 with Misty) and I have a Greninja with 1 dark energy counter in Active with one dark energy available and one grass energy next turn. Greninja needs a water energy to be able to use its 60damage attack but my opponent conceded before they double checked that I could even attack them

Sheesh what do they have against curling
A graffiti tag of what presumably was intended to be a trash can, but the can is very curling-stone shaped and the lid is also the shape of a curling stone handle. On the stone/can body is painted the word 'TRASH' (with the 'R' backwards)

This is unironically in my top 5 Ginger Root songs, every time it comes up I'm like "haha oh yeah, I'll listen for a sec then skip to their originals" then I listen to the whole thing
Spotify screenshot from Ginger Root's playlist titled Complete Discography that shows a line art rendering of a frame from Neon Genesis Evangelion The song is titled A Cruel Angel's Thesis (neon Genesis Evangelion - Ginger Root rework) it's a city pop cover of the theme from NGE

Hey don't forget to tune your discover feed using the "Show more like this :)" and "show less like this :(" buttons in the ... Menu!!

Badly cropped image of them but:
The aforementioned buttons in a screenshot, two buttons, one says "Show more like this 🙂" and the other says "Show less like this 🙁" The screenshot is in dark mode colors because I'm a sick person. A full stare into my twisted perspective would make most simply go insane lmao

That's basically #compsplatoon right

The amount of earnest people responding to obvious engagement bait is hilarious

Please people think for like a second
Bsky account "choi sang-mok" posts (in reverse order): 1) a spam post for a weekend giveaway asking for followers/reposts 2) a post saying "test shadowban. Reply ⬇️⬇️⬇️" And most recently 3) a post baiting chumps by complaining about twitter toxicity which tbh is kind of art levels of bait: "who else thinks X / Twitter is getting more and more toxic? there's so much disinformation flying around, and no one is even bothering to fact-check anything. ♥️"

News! Ready for round 3 of waking up every few hours in the night
The machine Hospitals place babies in right after they are born to measure them and weigh them. I'm sure it has an official name but I don't know it. It's basically a small bed with warming lights extending from the back to shine down on newborns.

Thankfully these satisfy my 2 year old's demands that I make Little Einstein pancakes
A picture of a griddle with 4 pancakes on it, each is approximately the shape of the letter 8, made by dropping batter with a tablespoon next to each other. They don't particularly look like the 4 characters in Little Einsteins, but to a 2 and 4 year old, they are exact replicas

Okay Rails, I can't say I am not surprised, but I might be a little sad

What's the deal with pokémon pocket's energy distribution??? This doesn't feel like 50/50 to me LMAO
A screenshot from the game pokémon TCG pocket where I am playing a deck, I uses dark type pokémon and psychic type pokémon each requiring at least one of their respective types energy to use their attacks. My side of the table has nine energy, eight of which are psychic type energy and only one is dark The game implies that it's an equal distribution between types of energy that is randomly given to you, but this is not feel equal lolol

Leaves piled in the gutter being rained on. There is a dark color coming out from the pile that looks like all the color is draining from the leaves into a puddle

Cool VS Code thing I just discovered! if you press Cmd + Enter in the Search pane it will open a new file for you with all the instances of what you searched with a couple lines of context each.
screenshot of vscode's search pane with "create_table" searched and several files containing that string are listed. there are 24 results from 9 files a screenshot of the file that VS Code opens for you after pressing cmd/ctrl + enter on the pane from the previous screenshot, it has the results grouped by file with 1 line above and below the search result shown for context

So this very much seems scammy but also there's no way a scam would know my Chinese 姓, but also who sees a number while clearing out old contacts and messages then instead of delete and move on lol

(My potentially bad translation in alt)
A screenshot of a text conversation in Chinese. Them: Hi 冯先生 ( Hi Feng ) (Feng is my Chinese last name) Me: Hello! 请问，你是谁 (hello! excuse me, who are you?) Them: 我是冯思璐，您对还有印象吗？(I'm Feng SiLu, do you remember me?) Me: 很抱歉，我没有印象 😔我们在哪里认识了？(I'm very sorry, I don't remember you, where did we meet?) Them: 我也是今天在整理通讯录的时侯，发现了这个号码，但想不起来你是谁了，所以来向你询问询问情况 (I was cleaning out my contacts when I saw this number, but couldn't remember who it was, so I figured I'd ask you to see if I could figure it out)
