| Monday Apr 16, 2012 | Meme Pool is an image blog that evolves. Read how it works, see how it works, or submit your own post. A totally non-commercial thing by E.C. Mendenhall. Uh, yeah, about that... to Memetics by isosceles |
| Using Markov chains to create chatterbots is nothing new -- they've been on IRC for years -- but there are some particularly entertaining ones on twitter these days. Many of you know about @horse_ebooks, for example. But how many of you know about the unmistakably hilarious, indistinguishable-from-the-source-material @zizek_ebooks? Markov chatterbots may have met their match in Slavoj Zizek's peculiar brand of ranting. to Philosophy by isosceles |

| Perhaps you want to vent about your first world problems, unless you're in a Communist country, in which case you vent about your second world problems. Unless you're in an unaligned developing country, in which case you bitch about your third world problems. Unless you're a hunter-gatherer nomad outside the realm of nation-states, in which case you bitch about your fourth world problems. Or perhaps you are a Lovecraftian cosmic entity from a sci-fi alternate dimension; then, you complain about your fifth world problems. But that's only if you're from the future -- monsters from the past complain about their fantasy world problems.. Humans from the past complain about ancient world problems. Unless you're really from the past, then you just talk about your prehistoric first world problems or your mesozoic world problems. And if none of the above is a problem for you, you're probably the type of fellow to suffer from time travel problems. to Culture by isosceles |

| Thursday Apr 12, 2012 | It is a strange fact that a substantial number of memes attributed to 4chan's /b/ board actually originate, or incubate, in fitness forums.
