Want to See Why I Think This Generation Is Doomed?

By seamus -

I have never seen a kid so excited about all the wrong things in life before. Skip ahead to 0:38 to witness something that I can only describe as anti-Darwinian.
This level of excitement, at that age, should be reserved for things that are on the opposite spectrum of, well, Pokemon and the life-altering accomplishment that is...one..shiny..pixelated...gameboy pony?
I am in no way a Pokemon hater, nor am I a Pokemon fan. I am simply aware of its existence, and yet I can say without a doubt this kid needs to do something else other than collecting pony sprites. Like watching porn. Or maybe an actual, in-the-flesh, real girlfriend. Some hiking would work too, as well as reading a book. And this is coming from a geek.

What do you think?

    I was this excited when my friends bought me a ticket for the AC/DC concert. Or when I went to Paris. Or when I went to the Franz Ferdinand concert. And that time I realised a friend has a book I've been dying to read for the past 2 years. But Pokemon gets this kind of excitement? Man, all my books feel offended!

    "this kid needs to do something else [...]Like watching porn. Or maybe an actual, in-the-flesh, real girlfriend. Some hiking would work too, as well as reading a book."

    So you think this kid, who is playing video games, should...let's break this down. We have 'like watching porn' - first example, firm affirmation. Then comes the doubt cloud with it's rainy 'or', 'maybe' and - this one's my favorite - `an actual=intheflesh=real girlfriend`. So this doubt cloud has obvious sexual desires, while using the firm statement regarding the porn, but the receiver of those desires might not exist. So, recap: porn+ possible (who are we kidding? :) probable) masturbation."Some hiking would work too, as well as reading a book". SOME, WOULD,AS WELL AS. So he should stop playing games in order to watch porn, masturbate and maybe (pf, who are we kidding?;)) read a book, or climb some small hill in broad daylight. Right?
    We all had our version of 'games' when we were kids and older generations have always looked down on younger ones. It's not better to read a book, nor is it better to play a game. It just is. So stop judging. This is my 4th article I've read on your blog and I'm noticing a pattern, well a few patterns actually. Some are good, some are funny, but some are not.

The Amazing Fig Wasp Makes You Ponder Life

By seamus -

Hey there! Whenever you've had a tasty fig or two, have you ever paused to ponder on big issues like mortality, the cycle of life and - what the heck are those crunchy  bits inside the fig? The tiny hole at teh bottom of the fruit is  called an ostiole - remember that. What is the connection between figs, wasps and the more philosophical questions about life, death and purpose? It's all in the very peculiar and amazing symbiotic relationship between the fig tree and the fig wasp. When you think of wasps, you're thinking of the black and yellow striped nuisance and pesky cousin of the more benign and lovable bee. In fact, if you were to take a look at the fig wasp, you'd have a hard time telling them apart from a mosquito with the naked eye - not to mention that the males of the species have an odd, wingless worm like appearance. But the destinies of this fascinating insect and the fig tree are intertwined: fig wasps ensure that new fig plants se

World's Fattest Woman Plans To Get Fatter

I’ve always thought that humanity as a species has reached its apex in the food chain of the planet due to evolution. Objectie natural selection and the challenges our species faced along the eons has shaped its body and pshychology. Evolution gave us our brains, and it was our most succesful tool. We have our civilization now, as our darwinian reward. Yet in may ways, we’ve broken free from the chains of natural selection and are now a sufficiently powerful element on our plan to dictate our own evolution. Now – why the introduction? Well, it’s people like Susanne Eman  that make me realize just how badly evolution (more importantly, natural selection) can be mocked and toppled by our civilization. You see, morbid obesity isn’t a survival trait. Yet we have Susanne here, an 32 yeard old American woman that weighs in at 340 kilos and is proud of it. „ . Deep down I had always known I wanted to be fat, but I thought I was alone in this feeling. ” Says Susanne on her official w

We're smart people. We live in a world where information is literally at our fingertips, and pretty much any answer can be found online, yet how much do we educated people know about facts and phenomenons we take for granted? Source: Wikipedia Sure, nobody's asking you to know everything - with Google, after all, you don't have to. Yet there are some things we do take for granted. Imagine you were alone in the middle of a green field - no internet, no help - and a curious child asks you a simple question: why is the Earth round ? What would you say? These little questions in life that have big implications - this is what this series is about. I've asked a few friends to answer a simple question: Why is the Earth Round? Here are some of their answers: And here are some of their (and other) answers, quoted: Andrei said: "The Earth is round because it's on an elliptical path around the Sun. Moreover, it is not completely round, it
