    1. @nobody9999Jan 2023· in “Do Not Taunt Happy Fun Branch Predictor”

      Thank you for posting this. Somewhat OT, but I miss Phil Hartman[0][1][2]. You may remember him[3] from shows like Saturday Night Live, The Simpsons and "Planet of the Apes."[4] [0] [LINK] [1] [LINK] [2] this video [3] [LINK] [4] [LINK]

    2. @psychometryAug 2019· in “The physical Apple Card is a case of form over function”

      >The Apple Card has been raked through the coals over this support document because it is not recommended for use near leather (the most common material used in wallets) or denim (one of the most common outerwear materials). Nor is it recommended to be touching any other credit cards. Nor is it recommended to be in a pocket or bag containing loose change, keys, or any other kind of potentially-abrasive items. This is some Happy Fun Ball-level absurdity ( this video ).

    3. @neilvApr 2024· in “Drive-Through Car Wash Was Too Much for Tesla Cybertruck”

      > The Cybertruck’s owners manual does caution against ever washing the truck in direct sunlight, and there is a section expressly mentioning that the truck has to be switched into “Car Wash Mode” before washing to avoid damage to parts of the vehicle. Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. this video

    4. @floatrockJun 2024· in “Ball: A ball that lives in your dock”

      > It's a ball. It's fun. It's a ball. All that's missing is about 3 more README's of warnings and disclosures ending with "Do not taunt Ball." this video

      Imagine if the FDA were tasked with cataloging and publishing side effects reported from any and all video games. this video
