In case anyone’s curious, ten bucks will buy you about 15 followers and 150 notes on a post but those notes can include reblogs that say ‘it’s funny that this is sponsored’ thereby permanently appending that fact to it and passing on the amusing context they discovered it in which can, in turn, lead to a lot more notes than that as the post is currently up about 2500 notes (so far, about a half day out from the end of the Campaign) which is one for every impression I paid for. I doubt you could get a 1:1 notes to impressions boost if your post wasn’t good or funny to sponsor but as much as anything I did it cause I was curious what’d happen so here’s the results for those who are also curious.
Method: the image-generating model from Midjourney, which combines CLIP with an ever-changing mix of image generation methods to come up with images that match my text prompt.
Prompt: “easter eggs, acrylic on canvas”
Prompt: “easter eggs, matte painting”
“Matte painting” tends to be used for epic movie backdrops so
It’s not free as in “free beer”, it’s free as in “free radical” - a free market is a market where every commodity being exchanged has at least one unpaired valence electron.
I can literally feel the walls of reality breaking down around me the longer this video plays.
Do you hear that Fezzik? That is the sound of ultimate suffering. My heart made that sound when the six-fingered man killed my father. The Man in Black makes it now.
So there’s this company in the UK, right. They brand themselves on producing fancy free range eggs and as part of that they have breed information written on the carton.
I did some snooping and found that every miracle news story of a supermarket egg hatching in the UK traced back to duck eggs, specifically the Braddock White duck eggs produced by this one company for the supermarket Waitrose.
And one day my mum brings them home and says “I bought these to eat but aren’t they the ones that hatch?”
And it’s spring and I’m hatching a ton this year so in they went.
On candling we had three fertile eggs! That’s a fertility of 50% - the same as shipped eggs from a breeder!
Hatch day comes and we get 2 ducklings, Curie and Becquerel. Sadly, Curie contracts duck septicaemia from an infected navel and doesn’t make it, but Becquerel is a healthy bird and growing like a weed.
I had put 4 breeder eggs in a week after them in case just one hatched, so Becque now has two Khaki Campbell cross friends called Tsuki and Hoshi so she isn’t lonely.
And as of today’s 7am Quacking - Becque is a female! Which means she’s capable of laying eggs and therefore I have pirated a duck.
I understand it’s possible to hatch out from (any brand) of quail eggs, as sexing methods for quail are inefficient, especially at large scales. Mind you, then you’d have quail (a problem)
everyone talks about how tumblr should make an @everyone feature, but I have another proposal: an @anyone feature. this tags a few users at random and there’s no way of predicting who it will be. this will also solve nothing and make everything worse
I added this to my queue before they announced Blaze, but as people are pointing out, Tumblr did, in fact, add this feature, and it is popular enough that people are paying to use it.
🪦: predict the circumstances of your death in extreme detail?
Dear Anon,
Hmmm, what to say…
This is how I think it will happen: Glup Shitto will shoot me, then I’ll shoot Glup, then Scrimblo Bimblo will enter and get shot by Glup, then you will walk in and get shot by Scrimblo, Glup and me multiple times.
Love, your blogger, SufficientlyLargeN
P.S: Then two blorbos will read this post and shoot each other.
The
rope keeps breaking, I’m covered in bruises and scrapes, and I’ve
barely reached the end of my driveway, but I don’t care–I’m determined
to become the first person to commute to work by tetherball.
A friend of mine from undergrad did on fact commute to and from class by unicycle, up a very steep hill, with his tuba on his back, so it certainly is possible.
