Let's Break the Rules and Help Some Folks

Why do you always have to help people through the legitimate channels? As this great poster shows, there are a lot of ways to give.

Have any suggestions for somewhat unethical ways to help people? Share them! Just want to lol? Do that too.

A Momentous Achievement

Yesterday, something incredible occured. The world will never be the same. The sun rose and fell, just as it has for eons and epochs. In cyberspace, the eternal cries of the trolled was met with the giggle of trolls just as it had since the beginning of time. However, something had changed. The universe was forever altered and a new era had begun.

This new epoch in human history is known as Post +200 Followers Reflections with an Erection Era or simply P+200FRWAEE.


How does it feel like to be part of history?

Tips for Successful Blogging

This post is long overdue. I noticed that there are a lot of ways I could have improved my blog that would have made life easier for my followers. Now, I am always looking at ways to streamline and to get better.

I also notice that many of my followers are also publishers themselves. So in that spirit, I decided to make a list of things to make your blog more successful and a little easier on your own followers.


1. Take off the damn captcha!

It uses us as slaves in doing evil shit like converting the sum of our vast human wisdom and knowledge kept in books to immortal digital form for the entirety of the future population to enjoy. And also just to waste our time in general.

Captcha is also a pedophile

As funny as the memes that come from the pain in the ass that is captcha, it simply isn't useful. The inconvience it causes anyone who wants to comment on your page isn't worth the convience of not moderating spam. On blogger, if you simply go to settings -> comments -> Show Word Verification Off, you will make the life of your followers just a little bit easier.

2. Limit the number of posts shown on your front page.

While having old articles is great for getting views to older content of yours, it isn't any good for anyone with a less than top of the line internet connection. It limits the speed they can load you page and often overwhelms their connection by loading lots pictures simataneously. Go to your settongs and change the number of posts shown to 2-3 max. Also set the settings to hide some of your post so that they can click if they actually want to see the content rather than being forced to load your last 7 posts to view your homepage.

To change this setting, go to Settings -> Formating -> Show At Most 2-3 Posts. It will make the life of those who enjoy your blog a little easier.

3.  Limit the amount of content you have on your page to a reasonable amount.

Someone actually thought this was a good idea

While having fish swim around, globes showing visitor locations, and ads in every single free inch of space seems like a great idea to get clicks, it really doesn't make visiting your blog a pleasant experience. I'm not knocking having cool little additions to your blog, I love those free additions that display statistics as much as anyone. I am just saying to keep it to a minimum so that your blog isn't a confusing mess.


- If you are going to use popups, please only use one ad site. Having more than one popup is irritating and unnecessarily slowing to the following process. It is actually better to leave them off in general. No one else clicks them and most of the pages they link to are swimming in viruses.
- Try not to have more than 3-4 picture ads, it slows down computers.
- The additions like fish, stat counters, location globes all shouldn't add more than 3-4 pictures.
- In total, try to limit the number of pictures someone needs to load on your page to 15 or so. This is excluding posts revolving around pictures as people are actually often seeking out that content for a reason.


Anyway, these are my top three tips. If anyone has any other useful tips for making your blog a little more successful, feel free to share it in the comments!

Religion on the Verge of Extiction in Several Countries

Religion on the verge of extinction in many countries: math study

(PhysOrg.com) -- A study recently released by a team from Northwestern University and the University of Arizona shows that religion and religious affiliations may be on the verge of extinction in the nine countries studied. Utilizing a mathematical model of nonlinear dynamics, the team analyzed data from censuses taken in nine different countries dating as far back as a century.

The Smithsonian Museum has a helluva ad team. These are nothing if not awesome.

Last Night with Billl Nye

Yesterday, I made a post about seeing Bill Nye live. I realized that a lot of you aren't from the US and wouldn't have heard of him. To be short, he was the host/writer of one of the most popular science education shows in the United States. He inspired a generation of kids to develop an interest in science.

Anyway his lecture was awesome.

He is funny in real life as he was in the show. The focus of his talk was to inspire the scientists/engineers in the crowd to make a difference. He talked a lot of the problems we have with the human population, addressing skeptics of climate change, and the need for science education. He gave a list of specific problems we could address involving city design, solar panel efficiency, material science, and ending a ridiculous farm subsidy system that makes beef cheaper than salad.

It was funny, it was inspiring, it was educational, and it was pretty much everything I expected from Bill Nye the Science Guy.

and yes he had the bowtie!

BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL

Man, tonight is the fucking night! I am about to fufill my childhood dream of this guy.

He is having a round table discussion at my University and then later doing a full on lecture.

I'm attending both.












Anyway, I just thought I would share.

If you said "Consider the Following" in your head in Bill Nye's voice you must post.

Have a good day, loyal followers

Inglip Summoned

I came across this most excellent meme a while back. I'm not quite up to date to how this meme got its start but I think it has something to do with this:

This meme involves turning captcha into a somewhat epic story. It is one of the most creative and hilarious things I have seen come out of the asshole of the internet. I have therefore created a large collection.

I'll be posting more in the future if I get positive feedback.

Man Gets High On Fake Weed, Leads Cops On Chase To Save Girlfriend From Aliens

I couldn't possibly think of a better title for this one.

Enjoy:

Richard Donald Blanscet's Wednesday night antics should vault him to Internet stardom. Why? He got high on Mr. Nice Guy "synthetic marijuana" then hopped into his burgundy Jaguar to save his girlfriend from an alien invasion--after hearing Dr. Phil's voice in his head. Along the way he sparked a 120-mph police chase.

It all went down in Rowan County, North Carolina last night. With cops, fire trucks, and EMS personnel already at his house after he reacted poorly to his fake weed, Blanscet heard Dr. Phil, speaking in a high-pitched voice, alert him that America was being invaded by aliens. Not one to shirk his duty, he immediately hopped into his burgundy Jaguar (no model mentioned in the report), nearly hitting an EMS vehicle, and streaked across the county at 100-120 mph, cops in tow, to save his girlfriend from the presumably grey-skinned hordes.

As a bonus, the chase led through the classic B-movie scenes: a cemetery, a church, and a field, before eventually ending in a crash at an intersection. Blanscet told police he didn't stop for the cars chasing him because when he saw the lights, he "realized the invasion was real and the cops were on it."

Moral of the story: don't listen to Dr. Phil.
