Boom boom boom boom, my friends were all exhumed. It's nothing super fancy, just basic necromancy

I wrote a long thing about my attempts to steal more data from my mobile provider. None of them really panned out, but I had fun and learned some interesting things along the way https://bluelander.bearblog.dev/mobile-data-banditry/

I was in some sort of book trivia contest where everyone got to pick a book and answer a question about it for a random number of points. Everyone was asked what I felt were pretty straightforward questions. When it got to me, the book I picked was Snow Crash, and the question was "What's the name of the official Snow Crash cocktail?"

I thought about it for as long as they allowed, and the best guess I could come up with was "Beero Protagonist"

The answer was some totally generic sounding name like "berry babylon". I was *so* pissed. The question wasn't about the book, the answer wasn't clever, and I didn't even believe that was a real thing

If it's so fun to stay at the YMCA, how come it took 130 years for anyone to write a song about it? Checkmate, young christian men

The Daisy sour cream company picked their brand name the same way the author of "Eragon" titled his book

All of my drugs are performance-enhancing, especially the ones that keep me alive. My performance declines sharply once my heart rate falls below 1 and only goes downhill from there

They call it a thumb drive because it sticks out of your laptop like a sore thumb

It's nice that the IPA symbol for the "aw" sound is also an emoticon that represents "aw"

Had a minor heart attack this morning because I logged into my bank account, and the number showing my current balance is red

It was the number it should have been, and it didn't have a minus sign next to it, but seeing a red number there horrified me. I clicked on "transactions" just to make sure, and it is indeed a positive balance. Guess they're just keeping me on my toes 🙃
