Pumping and dumping

Welcome to Garbage Weekend. It’s the internet garbage you know and love, but in a format that’s easier to read while you wait patiently for Memorial Day.

This week, the same solar storms that caused the biggest Aurora Borealis in decades also disabled automated tractors during the busiest planting season. Curious how the next solar storm will interact with the new thirsty edition of ChatGPT and all the other AI that run our lives now. Meanwhile, the hot new meme this week was a tie between drawing characters licking a lemon and asking your parents to dance like they did in the 80s. Of course, neither of those went as viral as the single image on X that caused billion-dollar jumps in meme stock prices, which are, of course, already going back down.

Oh well, here’s some fun stuff…

• Good bubble video

• ChatGPT draws the Mona Lisa in ASCII

• “To-cat-ata in B by sympawnies”

• A good post

• “In the dark corners of our world, secrets wars are waged by forgotten legions…”

• Some big Supernatural news

• The biggest croissant in Malaysia (this was dropped in the Discord by naandor)

• These Irish primary school kids just dropped the song of the summer
