Eating a meal, a Succulent Chinese Meal

The Death report for Kurt Cobain. Mostly from morbid curiosity and a love for Nirvana. I don’t do that for everyone or anything like that. That’s the weirdest one.

Let's see, The CIA's Simple Sabotage Field Manual, some paper on MKultra, some paper about The Hum, Some scientific paper on the longevity of recordable optical media, and a paper about crows.

This feels pretty niche...

For burning kuran ?

[inf_v@kbin.earth]

Where do you usually find it at? I'm a horror writer and that sort of thing would be handy to have for my work.

Are there any vulnerabilities? Asking for a friend

Get your hands off my penis!

A mock dictionary of Portuguese gay slang and vocabulary. It's pretty fun.

"Countries where suicide is outlawed.pdf"

[southsamurai@sh.itjust.works]

It used to be Google scholar. It was pretty easy to find good stuff when I was digging into it. Not sure if it's still a reliable place though

Nothing too weird. Multiple manuals of objects that I own, probably the weirdest of which is a German manual for my Canon EOS 300 (I'm not German). And some machine learning papers, among which a paper from 1987, by Quinlan & Rivest, about decision trees (which is older than I am).

A copy of Man after Man:

This is such a weird book. It has leech people, underwater people, blind psychic baby people, meat mountain people, etc.

[shimmeringkoi@hexbear.net]

A very funny NGO report on "net-enabled anarchist extremists" that talks about the SRA like it's the PLA

[professorowl_phd@hexbear.net]

The Chronicon of Marcellinus Comes, apparently. Not sure why.

[corno@lemm.ee]

I find this segment to be particularly insightful:

[ace_garp@lemmy.world]

The Bible 2.0

An older text, reinterpreted by Meaty McMeat.

[tribblesbestfriend@startrek.website]

I’ll need more details on this

[thelsim@sh.itjust.works]

It's a speculative evolution book from 1990 about how mankind might evolve in the next 5 million years. Basically the premise is that due to climate change, new species of humans are engineered to survive in a more hostile world. And then it follows these new species and their further evolutions.
The creatures in the picture above are both descended from humans.
It's weird, bleak and very far fetched.
