To adults? Or teens? Or 6-year-olds?

which was probably written by AI

That’s the key bit. You would expect that one of the first tests for a custom OS would be whether it runs doom, so of course the AI is going to write the text that you’d expect to see: “It runs doom”.

The number 69 has staying power. It was hardly new when it was used in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, and that was in 1989, 37 years ago.

How long will 6-7 last? I’m guessing not more than a year. I bet even now it’s being included as part of a script for a kids’ movie, and by the time the movie comes out the kids will all think it’s “cringe” (or whatever term replaces cringe).

“Expensive cartoon monkey pictures”

Do you need a microscope?

D4s are annoying. They’re the only die without a top face, so it’s hard to read the number, and since the faces slant inwards it can be hard to pick them up.

On the other hand, it’s satisfying that the typical RPG dice contain the 5 platonic solids. If I had to play a game where a D4 was used often (unlike in say D&D where it’s rare), I’d probably go with one of the alternate D4 shapes. Even if you prefer platonic solids, you can just use an 8-sided die and renumber 5-8 as being 1-4 again.

I still don’t think that would be enough for me to remember it. It would mean I’d have to give it out to people. But, I didn’t do that so often that I’d have memorized the number and remembered it for 30 years.

I know a fucking grifter when I see a grifter

Sure, I agree. That doesn’t mean that he always wins when he tries to grift. There’s a well known expression “you can’t con an honest man”. I’m sure that he thought he was getting the better end of the deal. But, clearly he didn’t.

You don’t have to pretend he’s some omnipotent super-being who never gets scammed.

If you want to claim that Logan Paul is a genius who never gets caught in one of his own attempted scams, go for it, but… I mean… look at the guy.

Clearly, you have an agenda and simply think that someone as dumb as Logan Paul couldn’t simply have made a dumb choice. You need to come up with some kind of conspiracy theory where he did it to benefit.

Which still means he lost more than half a million dollars from a bad investment.

My steam account dates from the release of the Orange Box. That was a few years after launch, because back at the beginning Steam was only for Valve games and those weren’t really my jam. But, the Orange Box was a great deal. So, I bought it (retail version) and then I had to register a Steam account.

I can remember mine too, 4170129. I just can’t remember why I remember it. The numbers I tend to remember are the ones that I actually had to use often. For example, I remember some phone numbers because to call someone I actually had to punch in (or dial) their phone number. But, did we have to type in our IDs from memory when logging in or something? That seems like it would be a terrible UI, and surely by the mid 90s nobody was still doing that.

I remember my ICQ number, 4170129, but I don’t remember why I know it.

Surely I didn’t have to type it in every time I logged in, did I? That would be a really stupid UI.

Just accept the reality that dumb people make dumb “investments”.

Or aliens descended from space and messed with everybody’s minds so we all think that he’s a real person.

C’mon, stick to reality.

That doesn’t help that he actually paid $635,000 for it and now it’s worthless.

It’s as if he took half a million dollars and just set it on fire. Being able to claim a loss on his taxes, if that’s allowed (which I’m pretty sure it isn’t), doesn’t really help with that.

They’re still the stupidest thing I’ve heard of.
