I spent the 4th weekend with a bunch of dogs that absolutely are not like this so maybe that’s why I find this so hilariously weird

Anyone here play geoguessr. Just heard about it today. Basically they give you a random shot off of google street view and you have to figure out where in the world it is from. I’m lolbad at it.

But it’s crazy how good some of the pros are. The can look at a photo and tell you at least country in seconds (or less). Lots of streams of pros playing to check out if curious.

Here’s an NYT article that explains the whole thing better than I could:

pretty famous meme template been going around for a few weeks now of a guy that’s really good at that game apparently:

Yeah, that’s the guy in the NYT article.

I got a purple handle on 2+2 once for winning a POG game like that.

I remember playing a game like that 10ish years ago. I think it had a different name, though.

Yes, we looked at titties. My friends and I. Boys and girls. Yes, we looked at titties. I liked titties. Still like titties. We looked at titties.

A leaked trove of confidential files has revealed the inside story of how the tech giant Uber flouted laws, duped police, exploited violence against drivers and secretly lobbied governments during its aggressive global expansion.

The unprecedented leak to the Guardian of more than 124,000 documents – known as the Uber files – lays bare the ethically questionable practices that fuelled the company’s transformation into one of Silicon Valley’s most famous exports.

Leaked messages suggest Uber executives were at the same time under no illusions about the company’s law-breaking, with one executive joking they had become “pirates” and another conceding: “We’re just fucking illegal.”

You’re not wrong. But the degree of difficulty on that one is extremely low. Pete’s good, but he just appears GOAT level because everyone else now at the top of the DEM leadership (especially Biden and Harris) really, really sucks.

I read this as the call to prayer plays outside of my window while in a country that has banned porn.

And yes, I like titties. Take that Erdogan!

I guess Ebay might be the new Sears undergarment section.

imagine being such a smoothbrain that you get upset by this

Tempeh bacon is an elite veggie burger addition. Not sure why every place that has impossible or beyond doesn’t have it as an option.

Unless it’s veggie bacon, it defeats the purpose of eating impossible meat.

Not really. Environmentally speaking Veggie Burger + Bacon > Beef burger + Bacon.

Obviously completely plant based is better than both.

I agree it’s not a choice that many people would make. I would do it my self under the right circumstance (e.g. clearing out the fridge and have some impossible patties and bacon to get rid of).
