/b/ - Random

Thanks for the reminder anon! I needed to hear that today. I have been staring at my screen for like 6 hours straight working on this project and completely forgot to eat lunch.

>implying anyone here takes care of their healthLol you are funny. Most of us survive on energy drinks and instant noodles.

Speaking of which, can we talk about how amazing pizza is? It is literally the perfect food. You can have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Cold pizza in the morning is chefs kiss.

>cold pizza>You are a monster. Pizza should always be eaten piping hot with extra cheese dripping everywhere. Cold pizza is a crime against humanity.

The amount of autism in this thread is genuinely concerning. It is PIZZA. Calm down. Eat it how you want. No one cares about your food preferences.

I can identify any song within 3 notes. It is great at parties but also terrible because I can never just enjoy music without analyzing it. Every song is just patterns and intervals to me now.

I can sleep anywhere at any time. On buses, in libraries, during conversations, you name it. I once fell asleep standing up at a concert. It is both a blessing and a curse because I cannot stay awake in important meetings to save my life.

I can remember exactly what I was doing and where I was for any random date you pick. Like if you ask me what I was doing on March 15th, 2008, I can tell you. It is weird and not useful at all but it makes me feel like a savant sometimes.

>Star Wars is overratedBold of you to post this on /b/ of all boards. You are going to get destroyed. But also, I kind of agree? The lore is more interesting than the actual movies.

The prequels are actually good when you accept them as campy sci-fi adventure movies and not serious dramatic works. The lightsaber fights in the prequels alone are better than anything in the original trilogy.

My unpopular opinion is that video games are better now than they have ever been. People who say "gamers rise up" and complain about modern games are just nostalgic for being teenagers with unlimited free time. There are more high quality games available today than ever before.

Coffee tastes like burnt dirt and people who say they love the taste are lying to themselves. You drink it because you are addicted to caffeine, not because it tastes good. Fight me.

>coffee tastes like burnt dirtThis is objectively true for bad coffee but there is actually really good coffee out there that tastes amazing. You just have not had good coffee. Also agreed on the addiction part though.

I think pineapple belongs on pizza. It is delicious. The sweet and salty combination is perfect. If you do not like it that is fine but stop acting like it is a war crime. It is just fruit on cheese.

The One Ring from Lord of the Rings. Invisible at will, extended lifespan, dominion over the orcs? Sign me up. Plus you get to hang out with Gandalf and the fellowship. Actually on second thought, the corruption aspect is a major downside. Never mind.

The Portal Gun from Portal. Instant travel anywhere you can visualize? That is essentially unlimited power. You could end world hunger by instant-transporting food anywhere. You could solve traffic forever. It is the ultimate utility item.

Time Turner from Harry Potter. Think about it. You could have 48 hours in a day. Work, sleep, do whatever you want. Double your productive hours. Sure there is the whole "cannot change major events" limitation but that is manageable.

Flying car from Back to the Future. It is not the most powerful but it is the most fun. Also you can actually buy one now apparently? Though they are not really flying cars, more like fancy drivable planes. Not the same thing.

A pocket dimension like in Doctor Strange. Imagine having infinite storage space. Never worry about where to put anything ever again. Or you could just live there. Your own private universe.

Here is my setup: 27-inch 4K monitor, mechanical keyboard with cherry mx blues, ergonomic mouse, standing desk, three plants, ambient lighting, and a mini fridge within arm reach. I would give it a solid 8.5.

>standing desk>mini fridge>plantsBro this is a CEO setup, not a desk setup. I have a laptop on a stack of books and I eat dinner at my desk. We are not the same.

I use a folding table from Walmart, a $20 keyboard from Amazon, and I sit on a dining room chair. My setup score? Maybe a 3. But I have written more code in this setup than most people will write in their fancy ergonomic chairs. Poverty breeds innovation.

The best setup is the one that lets you do what you need to do. I have seen people with $5000 setups who just browse Facebook all day, and people with a laptop and a coffee shop who produce amazing work. It is not about the gear.
