Couldn't think of any applications of this outside of doing actual magic. But this is awesome still!

A few years back it started showing me obvious political ragebait. I ignored it and then it started showing me pictures of women whose nipples were obviously showing through their clothing, which was an improvement, but still not the reason I signed up for Facebook. I've always understood it as the algorithm is looking for engagement and will try some lowest common denominator tactics to engage in it. As someone who just wanted to see the odd picture of a friend or relative, I don't have much use for Facebook these days.
I get similar things on Facebook too. The problem is, my Facebook profile clearly stated that I'm an asexual female, but the recommendation engine obviously didn't pick that up...

It happened too early 8:03 AM. Probably no visitor or even staff in Taipei 101. Last time videos are all from visitor.
I can't imagine how terrifying it will be if I was on Taipei 101 during this quake...

Before clicking into the actual article, I wondered (just from the title alone) if bloomberg suddenly started to cover shadowsocks or something.... lol

This is pretty fun :D
.... and at the same time endearing (?) to see all these fictional civilizations make similar mistakes ours did in the past...
After the presidential election in Taiwan earlier this month, many important political figures (current president, next president, opposition leaders, A LOT OF parliament members...) suddenly got on Threads and started posting there actively. Their followers naturally also followed them there.
As for the reason... I still don't understand why lol

This reminded me of a late-1990s Taiwanese RPG by DOMO Studio called "Tun Town" (I'm not sure if it was translated into English...), in which the main plot was a fictional town drilling too much into a volcano to tap energy eventually caused it to erupt.
Not sure how scientifically sound that was lol
