what is consciousness? how close to consciousness are machines? how close to machines are we? hive type systems? idk food for thought

Remember, if you want a real discussion, post it in "General Discussion".  Shitpost Central is for being asinine, bratty, an asshat, etc.

I get 1/2 the coral for posting there. and honestly don't care what people say lmaooo

the idea is that by making shitpost central pay more coral, people will keep the shitposts in there and when they actually want to have a genuine conversation they'll do it over there

I do think it is a bit of a perverse incentive, though

it would be better if general discussion paid more and if you shitposted in there you could have your coral revoked by a mod, but that would take some additional dev work

For the longest time, up until recently, I thought the Nine inch Nails log was a shoe company

Little known fact, it's not a band named for nails that are nine inches long.

hello! this is my first post, I hope it is a worthy contribution to the WetFish ecosystem🫧

I am quite fond of card games, and I was recently reflecting on how I have learned basically all the card games I know through other people teaching me at different points in my life, and how sweet I think it is that one forms a beautiful little connection with those whom they teach/learn/practice card games (especially since it's a skill that is purely for fun and entertainment rather than having any sort of "productive"/instrumental value).

anyway I may make a more artistic perzine about it at some point, but I wanted to share all the card games I currently know and my preliminary reflections and ratings of them; PLEASE teach me others if you know any good ones :))
     *🩷 = my favorites

 - Go Fish (ofc) — learned from my mom as a kid; 5/10 middle-of-the-road, gets kinda boring
 - Solitaire — learned on my own from my 2nd gen iPod nano; 8/10 for up to 30 minutes, but 5.5/10 after that
 - Crazy Eights — also taught to me by my mom as a kid while simultaneously people-watching in New York City; 6/10 haven't played it since, but I remember liking it
 - Bullshit — when I was in 9th grade, a bunch of seniors (who I'm now realizing were definitely all high if they weren't mormon) wanted to play while we were on break at marching band camp; 3/10 I'm really bad at lying
 - President — learned from this kid, Aidan, in my 10th grade chemistry class who always wore specialty newsboy caps + collared shirts and worshipped the debate teacher; I think he also tried to teach my table group the game Mao, but it didn't catch on; 7/10 fun with a big group, 5/10 with a smaller group
🩷Nertz (also called Pounce/Puntz/Peanuts in different regions) — taught to me by my dad on St. Patrick's Day 2019; requires that every player have their own individually distinguishable deck of cards; 10/10 with the right players! cards will be bent, tables pounded, relationships placed in jeopardy, I never rarely lose
🩷Gin Rummy — learned from WikiHow and a YouTube video with an ex-partner last year; 9/10 it's been my go-to card game to teach people since then
 - King's Corner — a friend in Boulder taught me on the crustiest dining room table I have ever seen last winter; 6/10 it's so nefarious that one person can win the whole game in the first round if they have a good hand
 - War — taught to me by a 13-year old looking to get out of doing the stuff I was supposed to be mentoring him on; 4/10 kinda boring but fine
🩷Egyptian Rat Slap — a girl my bandmate was dating for a bit over the summer taught me on the asphalt outside D3, and I think we accidentally missed another band's whole set because the game went for so long :P ; 8/10 with the right people, it can get going fast
 - Trash — a friend I went camping with taught me in exchange for me teaching her gin rummy; 6/10 for the first 10 minutes, 5/10 after that
 - Pinochle — learned from one of my oldest friends when she got super into it over her winter break; the only game in this list that needs a specialty deck, my friend spent like $60 Frankensteining her own out of regular decks and refused to let the deck get dirty or bent because it was such an investment lol; 5/10 mostly because it's pretty complicated and I didn't get familiar with all the rules before my friend had to fly back across the country for school smh
 - Speed — taught to me by another friend's exuberantly drunk coworker at a NYE party; didn't really like her all that much, but the game is very fun! 7/10
