  • Do they need to find it and put it back on to transform back, or does that involve them shedding their wolf pelt and emerging in human form from within it?

  • My impression is that the werewolf transformation is entirely magical and not governed by real-world effects: one moment, the moon is out and you suddenly grow fur, a snout and uncontrollable predatory instincts, and when it’s over, the fur recedes/disappears, your facial geometry is restored and you just feel inexplicably tired. It’s conceivable that you’d shed some hair, which presumably wouldn’t magically vanish once it’s not attached to you, though.

    As for vampires, I thought they just used their incisors to puncture their victims and then just sucked their blood out. Their teeth being plumbed into a vacuum pump seems somewhat too complicated.

  • There’s not really a punchline, just a reminder that mean old guys exist.

  • Related: a guy in Poland posted online about buying supermarket donuts to use as fuel in a wood-burning stove. The donuts turned out an order of magnitude cheaper than firewood.

  • Perhaps the paper was written by the Russian scientist who always included his cat as a co-author

  • Don’t call it that to any British people, though, as to them, “dogging” has a very different meaning.

  • You can tell this was drawn before people started marrying their chatbots

  • That’s what happens when you don’t vet whom you give the time machine to

  • I think I still have the programming manuals somewhere. All I remember is that it borrowed a lot from classic MacOS (like four-character identifiers stored as 32-bit words, and possibly Pascal-style strings) and that trying to do OO user-interface programming in C is profoundly tedious.

  • And then there’s Orban trailing in the polls, and Putin with an incentive to help him out. It’s possible that we’ll see a false-flag attack on Hungary from Ukrainian territory, launched by Russian forces using captured Ukrainian equipment, shortly before the Hungarian election.

  • Hard techno must be the pop-punk of dance music

  • It’s weird how everyone has his number, even if their reasoning was off. The Slashdot penguinheads thought he a literal Sith lord, the Q-nuts thought he, Soros and Fauci were running 5G vaccine chip biolabs, and now it turns out he was an Epstein Island frequent flyer.

  • Sometimes filesystem developer syndrome removes a wife, sometimes it adds one

  • Schooling in which you learn to do arithmetic, write reports, research and collaborate on projects will be replaced with reverse-centaur training, in which you are trained to respond to headset commands more quickly, preparing you to join the only remaining part of the workforce
