  • My opinion on the most random number:

    The smallest number that has never and will never exist in the universe.

    The moment a number is written out, calculated in a computer, or counts the atoms in the universe, it’s no longer random. It has some reason to exist.

    Contrarily, just picking some massive number with a bajillion digits isn’t really random. It’s just a big number.

    Thus the most random number would be the smallest number the universe will never know. It’s going to be incomprehensibly large, near infinity. Plus, you’ll have to wait until well beyond the heat death of the universe for the point that the entropy of everything equals zero.

    Def a more niche reference I feel:

    This is a reference to the William Carlos Williams poem This Is Just to Say, in which the narrator is apologizing for eating the plums in the icebox. In this comic, the joke is that Cueball, learning that the person out of view has left themselves some plums in the refrigerator for tomorrow, cannot resist eating them as a reference to the poem.








  • From other posts, it’s apparently just poor AVIF support on some device/app.

    Personally, I think it may be bad AVIF encoding based on who uploaded the image. I only see the glitched images from .world posts. That makes me think it’s some sort of combo of a particular user app and either the .world instance or other users’ instances caching the images. (For example, every image I see is actually rehosted on the lemmy.zip servers)










  • Sometimes it is okay. This to me is a message that to me is to be taken in moderation.

    Our brains are a weird confusing mess, and sometimes we don’t know why it makes us feel certain ways. It’s okay to not always know why. You’re not a terrible person because you don’t fully understand why your noggin makes you feel some way. You should always strive to understand and better yourself, but you don’t have to be perfect all the time.
