This popular 2019 video talks about a “second person view” car chase in Driver San Fransisco where you control the fleeing car but view the game from a first person perspective of the chasing car: https://youtu.be/mC8QoRa8y_Q

I know that part is, but specifically the front of your tongue tasting sweet is the weird tongue map thing that somehow made it into the education system

I assume you’re joking, but for those who got taught that in school but haven’t thought about it since, that thing is basically bs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue_map

Weird kink, but we support you xo

Orgasms for peace

Even the video footage would fit right in as B-roll in an Onion video, completely absurd that the chase lasted an hour like that lol

That video of them interviewing people on the street with it was pretty fun!

Kinda scary that the threadi (??) instance with the (probably) second-highest active users struggled enough to warrant a shutdown :(

the atrocious webp format

I continue to be confused by the level of widespread hate WebP still gets. It’s old enough to be widely (albeit not universally) supported in software like web browsers, but new enough to provide similar-or-better (usually better) lossless compression than PNG (21,578 bytes for the original image) and typically better lossy compression than JPEG at comparable perceived quality, especially for the types of images typically shared on the internet (rather than say, images saved directly from a DLSR camera). It’s why servers bother to re-encode JPEG images to WebP for delivery - they wouldn’t bother wasting the compute time to re-compress if it wasn’t generally worth doing.

I can understand it if we were, say, 10-15 years ago when the format was still not super widely supported yet, but that’s basically where we are with JPEG XL and AVIF support right now too. If one of these two had exactly the level of support that WebP does right now then yes, of course we should probably use one of them instead - but we’re not there yet. Until we are, WebP often has the best compromise between compatibility and compression efficiency as far as image formats go, and that’s why a lot of sites do this re-compression thing using WebP. I gave some examples using digital art (one of the things I was compressing a lot at the time) a year ago in a related discussion: https://lemmy.world/post/6665251/4462007

A news website local to me recently-ish started choosing to deliver AVIF-compressed (or probably re-compressed) images the same way a lot of sites currently do it for WebP because my browser supports AVIF, so at least we are starting to see a token amount of uptake on the next-gen formats in the wild.

OP has been mislead by Big Ejaculation /s

Thanks for sharing!

satire_irl: Trump forgets instructions to not mention Canada again until future governor Poilievre has won election

This guy also gave a great talk a decade ago about his journey to winning the lottery: YouTube

Apparently media doesn’t know as of yesterday: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mount-fuji-climber-rescued-twice-returned-to-get-phone/

It was not known whether he was able to find his phone in the end, local media reported.

Wow, they literally added more horse armor lol

A more onion-y title would be something like “Conservative commentator quotes Marx, calls for mass protests and strikes”.

The actual title is more just !ironicorsurprisingnews than !nottheonion material imo

Edit: You’ve editorialized the title?

Posts must be:

1. Links to news stories from…
2. …credible sources, with…
3. …their original headlines, that…
4. …would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Unless it was changed post-publication, the original is

Conservative NYT Columnist David Brooks Calls for ‘National Civic Uprising’ to Defeat Trumpism – Complete With ‘Mass Rallies, Strikes’

Imo that’s actually more onion-y than the changed title

FYI: OpenCritic average is moderately lower at (currently) 78/100 (82% recommend) https://opencritic.com/game/18413/tempest-rising

Thanks! I did actually Ctrl+F the first two pages but that post has unfortunately not federated to me so I can’t see it on my instance! The woes of federated social media :(

I’ll delete the post to preempt anyone else from getting upset at me despite doing nothing wrong 🫠

Fair enough - glad you’ve found it helpful (Y)
