At the time, it was probably Ren & Stimpy or Space Ghost Coast to Coast. Both were unapologetically weird.

In retrospect, probably Reno 911! Not only was it loaded with funny scenarios and running gags and tons of guest comics, but the physical comedy was really good. They were always tackling somebody or running over Junior with a Hummer or somesuch, and it was usually the main actors doing the stunts.

Honorable mention to Strangers with Candy. It took the Seinfeld formula of a sitcom full of disagreeable people and amped the contempt to 11.

These tutorials are fantastic. I've been playing since Update 3 and didn't realize I needed them, especially this latest one about lift offsets. Thanks for sharing on Lemmy!

What if you take off the costume? Humans aren't entirely bilaterally symmetrical (at least not on the inside) and obviously not radially symmetrical so the paradox continues.

I'm sure that would cause a significant portion of the playerbase to react with angry and hurtful messages. Then poor Blizzard would have no choice but to wipe their tears with their massive new pile of hundred dollar bills.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please be aware that using your Orb™ in a manner not specified in the Orb Owner's Manual could potentially violate the Orb Terms of Service and void your Orb's extended warranty. This includes using your Orb to cause or predict the outcome of a logical paradox, reversing non-local entropy beyond your legal jurisdiction, or inverting the Higgs field to generate negative mass.

Thank you for being a loyal Orb™ customer and have a great day!

I'd be grouchy too without my orb.

I grew up with classmates named Autumn, April, and December (she went by DeeDee). I had a co-worker named June. I've known of kids named Summer, January, Augustus, and September. But none of them picked these names; it was the parents who identified them as months or seasons!

(And yes obviously the Fox story is beyond stupid)

You're sure it wasn't for... other reasons?

I'm glad my mom has skin and other organs.

I prefer to put my swap partition on CD-RW.

That's a genuine culture shock (compared to America at least). Is it true, is there a good source on this story?

What non-game paid apps do you use that are worthwhile and still relevant in 2023?

For context, I have a decent amount of Google Play credit thanks to Opinion Rewards and a gift card. I'm not looking to start a book or movie collection there, nor sign up for subscription services. But I'm happy to buy the paid/pro version of useful apps.

I'm excluding games just because that's a whole topic on its own.

Here are some one-time paid apps I've been happy with:
