Out on the road today I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac.
Seems to be missing "hole," "canoe," and "whistle."
Terraia and No Man's Sky certainly leap to mind.
If you stick a penny in the back will it do a wheelie, too?

I maintain that the best joke in the first Toy Story was Mr. Potato Head thumbing at Woody and going, "laser envy..."
No, surprisingly.
For grins just now I scrolled through ten (10) pages on "all" (i.e. including federated and not just local lemmy.world posts) and sorted by "hot" (the default).
I got one MurderMoe post, one ChainsawFolk post, and one TouhouProject post.
...And about ten linuxmemes posts, I didn't even count how many politics posts, several TenForward posts, like five Lemmy Shitposts entries, quite a few News and World news, and three inscrutable posts in Arabic despite by content language being set to English.
Barely a single pair of anime tiddies among the whole lot. What a drag.
?
I don't see any anime subs by default just browsing the lemmy.world all page when sorted by hot, active, scaled, or new. So what exactly are you doing, and where do I sign up?
There are retro revival consoles that aren't deliberately made to looks like the original incarnations. I think the issue here was that the consoles being sold were deliberate counterfeits of otherwise valuable original retro machines.
For instance, litigious as they are Nintendo has either been unable or unwilling to snuff out things like the RetroN machines which play original Nintendo and SNES cartridges (and Genesis, and some others) but don't claim to be a Nintendo machine or look like one in any way.
That said, I personally would totally buy a fake OG JDM Super Famicom just to have on the shelf, or even a shell just that looks like one.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
They say it don't be that way
But sometimes it do
Water heaters are also stupidly easy to install.
For some reason, in my locale you have to apply for a permit to replace a water heater. I strongly suspect the compliance rate with this asinine scheme is very near to zero. (For anyone reading this, yes, I will totally pay the state for the privilege of installing my own water heater in my own home when I switch mine to hybrid. Scout's honor.)

I'm going to 3D print a badge and pin it to my wall, or something. Right after I finish rolling on the floor and laughing. Just give me a few minutes.
- Context: This guy creates an "angry" sub to bitch about things. Cool, cool.
- Same guy posts a couple of troll-level ranty screeds filled with nonsense and bad faith "arguments," such as they can even be considered arguments at all. W/e, that's his prerogative. However...
- Doing this in public means that this makes it to the .world front page as these things do, which invites people to comment on this silliness. Myself included.
- Jabroni gets butthurt about his opinions actually having to withstand scrutiny and then, of course, hilarity ensues.
- ...But bro is also under the impression you can't say "fuck" on the internet for some reason?
But that's not the actual headline, here. What's bats is, he actually went through and deleted pretty much every comment in that thread. Here it is.
He's, uh, really racking up the popularity.
TL;DR: User openly calls out a specific demographic (one that is prevalent on this instance, no less), is shocked when said demographic shows up, responds by throwing a tantrum and bans everyone from his playpen. Comedy gold!

Oh boy, here I go shillin' again.
I just updated my 3D printable balisong utility knife so hard that it wound up with a new name.
As usual, you get the brief version here. Massive amounts of details are located, as ever, in the original post and also at the Printables link.
Want one? Of course you do. Get the files here.

As usual, since I already wrote a monumental piece on this in the other community, I'm just going to give you guys the short version. The long version is in the cross-post link above.
What it is: A 3D printable Axis lock folding knife, mechanically complete fully functional, with Penguin beak wave opener, one each. The world's finest; the world's only.
We're having great fun with this and other silly objects over on [email protected].
Jooooooin usssssss. You know you want to.

"You need to buy this special heater pad to break the screen adhesive!"
No, I think you will find that in fact I don't.
...when he will find himself standing in a hardware store confronted with a wall of bird feeding accessories. This is, I'm told, some kind of twisted coming of age thing. Up until now you've thought about two, maybe three birds in your entire life. Tops. But then, bang: Suddenly the topic of a bird feeder is vitally important. It's serious business.
There's a snag, though.
"What about this?" She'll ask. "It's so cute, like a little tiny house. And it's only $14.97!" It's not even sold yet and you can see it's already falling apart. The wood's split, and clearly nobody taught the children in that sweatshop how a square works. Or a clamp. There's a gold sticker on the bottom, half peeling off. It says 'Made In China.'
"Come on, I could make that in about 10 minutes with crap I have lying around my workshop."
"Yes, dear," your wife will say, while patting your arm.
This is what 300,000 years of evolution has brought us. Countless generations worth of genetic fine-tuning, passed down through mitochondrial DNA, veritably ensured the delivery of that precise response. The woman has watched you rebuild transmissions, heft Labrador sized rocks over your head, and replaster the entire house. But this, this thing consisting of no more than five ratty planks of wood, elicits a sarcastic "yes, dear."
This is it, isn't it? Men, Mars. Women, Venus. Every single one of those dumbass 1950's stand-up routines, distilled. It turns out it was all true. Well, part of it, anyway.
But some things are a matter of principle.
This is a bird feed suet cake holder I literally made out of offcuts and random crap I had lying around on my workbench, in ten minutes. Using nothing -- nothing, I say -- other than my compound miter saw and cordless drill. And a spot of wood filler, because there was a gnarly knot hole on the plank I wound up using on the top. It's held together with Spax screws and you could probably also use it as a jack stand for a bus.
Parameters drafted: Zero. Measurements made: Zero. Components purchased: Zero. And spending $14.97 on a ramshackle piece of shit? Studiously avoided.
That's right, "Velcro" is a verb now.
I was on a three day adventure ride this week. These fuckers kept wanting to come undone, but firmly stick themselves to the lining on the inside of my sleeves instead. This is deeply irritating.
In keeping with my usual tradition of harping on about the dumb shit I design and slap up on Printables:
https://www.printables.com/model/862518-cat-shelf-bracket-for-smartykat-paw-perch-or-build
These brackets solve a specific, but major, usability issue with the aforementioned brand and model of cat accessory widely sold at Walmart, Amazon, Chewy, Pet Smart, etc.
Conversely, there's nothing stopping you from screwing your own piece of wood to the top of a pair of these and arriving at roughly the same result without shelling out 30 of your hard earned Washingtons.
Cat tax paid:
Pop!
I'll bet you a nickel I'll never pull this off again.

A Very Specific Object. You may or may not recall from my post a couple of days ago about the surprisingly competent (and very cheap) Jin Jun Lang JL-13A that one of its points of incompetence was a design that allows the latch to strike the blade, like so:
Well, sure I put a stop to that.
This half-gram piece of plastic slots right into the handle like so:
And means the latch will only swing in a 180 degree arc such that it stops just short of the tip of the blade.
It works the other way, too.

Well, "Minecraft 2" was arguably Minecraft: Dungeons which as we all know categorically failed to set the world on fire.
