    I’ve come back to this four times today already. Each time my appreciation grows for how masterfully wrong this is.

    The uneven distribution of the slices of Emmental cheese. The chaotic squiggle of Sriracha. The chunks of pineapple balancing on the edge.

    You are a genius.

    Ooooh now this is interesting. My first reaction was “hah, yeah exactly!”. But then I thought: this image of text contains more information than just the textual content. For example:

    • The words are someone else’s, not OP’s
    • They were sourced from a different social media network to this one

    Also, it may be due to the prevalence of smartphone use in interacting with Lemmy vs using a traditional computer: it’s often quicker and easier to take and share a screenshot of text than it is to select, copy and paste that text.

    I’m not saying you’re wrong. I just read your comment at the time my morning coffee really hit, and it spawned an interesting chain of thoughts.

    So… thank you. And sorry for inflicting this braindump.





  • I have monkey toes. I use my feet as hands if I’m barefoot. Drop a pen? Not bending over for that. Cat drops the ball at my feet. Well just going to hand it up to myself.

    I don’t like touching dirty things with my hands, so I’ll lift the lid off a bin with my foot.

    I thought I was going to have a relaxed day today, but a minor emergency at work (that I’ve managed to fix already) has thrown all my plans in disarray.

    Right now I’m fixated on the histories of certain music genres, particularly industrial music and doom metal.

    “Industrial” as a name came from the record label (Industrial Records) that Throbbing Gristle, an art collective/band from the late 70’s, created. They’re widely understood to be the first industrial band, but the roots for it go way back to the 40’s with musique concrète, a style of music that made use of recorded sounds and noises as part of musical compositions. The album Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed in 1975 also had an influence on the genre: the entire album is composed of looped and edited sounds rather than traditionally-recorded instrumentation. It’s one of the first major albums to treat the recording studio as another instrument, rather than just a means of getting a band’s sound recorded.
