What is a zillian? →
“By the way, if a man started counting from one at the moment of his birth, he would die before he uttered the word million.” I don’t believe that for a second. According to google there are 31 556 926 seconds in a year. Even if it took you 31 seconds to say each number (“three hundred and fifty two thousand five hundred and fifty two”) you’d still be...

Collective intelligence requires more than voting →
“So, taking this a step further, reddit will become a community that will appeal to and be dominated by people with too much time on their hands. Is this a problem with democracy in general?” - anonoymous I agree. A big problem with democracy is that we have professional politicians.

OK-Cancel or Cancel-OK? (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox) →
Both ways are stupid, Ok and Cancel are very different operations and should be represented in very different ways to the user. The interface on am creating this post on has an ‘ok’ and a ‘cancel’ operation. The ‘ok’ operation is the ‘Create link’ button, the ‘cancel’ operation is the closing of this browser tab. It’s almost...

nelix: jessta: “TOTAL: $4,611“ Wikipedia only costs $4,611 to run for a year? That’s pretty damn cheap. Uhh. $4,611(000). That would be 4.6 million. Damn it. Expecting me to added zeros.

Smoking makes you look 200% cooler, it’s an undisputable fact. If you want to be cool and don’t really care about your health, then you should probably smoke.

Heroin Is Harmless : Pro-Drugs →
(via nelix) ” A fatal heroin overdose is usually a long process that takes over an hour and it can be countered within minutes by an antidote. This antidote is Narcan. It is so tightly regulated that strict limits on its usage have caused overdose deaths even when paramedics were present. Narcan is not dangerous or addictive which leads one to believe the government wants heroin users to...

'My daughter deserved to die for falling in love'... →
“‘I have only two boys from now on. That girl was a mistake in my life. I know God is blessing me for what I did,’ he said, his voice swelling with pride. ‘My sons are by my side, and they were men enough to help me finish the life of someone who just brought shame to ours.’” “‘Now, my lovely Rose is in her grave. But, God will make her father pay,...

i have an honest question
ragdoll: sarazucker: do you spell it gray or grey? i can never make up my mind. I generally spell it gray, with the “rule” rhyme that there’s an a in gray. I can never remember if this is right or not, but it has largely to do with whether you’re American or Brittish. it makes no difference. As long as the word is unambiguous. Language is about communicating an idea,  spelling is only...
