'i'm not going to link any of them here, for a variety of reasons, but please be aware of what is probably the deadliest AI scam i've ever heard of: plant and fungi foraging guide books. the authors are invented, their credentials are invented, and their species IDs will kill you"
"update: i keep getting annoyed that the QTs are like "if this is true, it's horrifying" ..but you're right, you don't know me from a hole in the ground and you SHOULD worry about the veracity of anything you find online."

wild harvest publications... no named author? i n t e r e s t i n g
"To keep it economically prices" hmm *the design is very human meme*
this book that promises highly detailed descriptions doesn't even have color images unless you pay a premium
"Mushroom hunting is easier than you think, and less dangerous than everyone assumes." hmm. hmmmmm. yeah the government definitely put out those 'if you don't know what it is don't put it in your mouth' PSAs for no reason
tldr don't buy foraging guides off amazon if you can't locate a human author and verify their credentials yourself
It's great how we invented a way of instantly storing and accessing useful information and then corporations and their bullshit fucking ruined it all.

@is-the-snake-video-cute looks like a coral snake (blunt nose) but double checking- is it ?
That's indeed a coral snake, good ID!!
This thread is full of the luckiest people on the planet, I think. Also goes to show just how calm even venomous snakes are - coral snakes rarely bite unless you're actively harassing them - and how important it is to make sure your ID as non-venomous is 1000% certain before picking up any wild snake.

"'Over the Garden Wall' will leave Max starting August 31st."
McHale replies: "it's funny, i just saw this now, but coincidentally i've been fighting the urge to tweet this all day: 'i hope somebody is out there ripping and saving all the stuff on all these streaming services because i'm pretty sure so much of it is gonna disappear and become lost media.'"
and continues in a second tweet: "years ago i didn't have a game console, but i had an ipod touch. got deep into 'mobile gaming' in early days. there was brillian work. amazingly creative games. slowly the app store UI changed, became impossible to find that stuff. games disappeared. gone the way of flappy bird."

the autistic view of the world has insight and beauty in it, and we’re taught that there’s something wrong with it.
What’s fascinating is that the parents who didn’t know it was the work of an autistic kid praised it as well.
Technically, we don't know that it's an autistic kid's work, either. 5e infographic doesn't say Cadence is autistic.
"appropriate play skills" is such a horrid phrase, goddamn
people demonize autism so much that parents think their children aren’t playing “correctly”. it’s play, how could it ever be wrong?
