One time I found a dead dog in the street. There was a boy, not much older than me, crying. I asked is this your dog. He just looked at me. Later we fought in the war together.

I love that census Americans account, though I haven't followed it. I actually think I prefer to read it as a long list in one spell, rather than one at a time, periodically. the repetitive effect combined with the great number of individuals really gives you a feeling of the paltry insignificance of a person

i also enjoy that when presented that way it seems discursive and confessional rather than what it is, which is purely quantitative data
― trickle-down ergonomics (jim in glasgow), Tuesday, 5 April 2016 23:25 (eight years ago) link
definitely. this is part of the reason i love it.
this is the other reason. i was tweeting about this last night so apologies to repeat myself to some of you, but i get a weird feeling from these kind of information abysses. like, there's such a sense of depth to them, it feels like standing on a height, almost dizzying. so while it does make me think of human irrelevance, it also kind of wows me at the collective force of that irrelevance, or the quantity of it, the number of us.
the other two things like this, that i can think of.
1. the wikipedia random button. actually terrifying to just bounce through everything that has ever been deemed to have existed. like simultaneously humbling and sort of ridiculous.
2. at work, there's a big tv screen which has a live ticker of every search that people are doing on gov.uk (basically a site where people look up how to apply for a passport or take their dog on holiday or whatever million other things covered by british law) - everytime i walk past i can't help but crane my head towards it for as long as possible, then again on the way back. it's just like boggling - "holiday safety", "visa for chinese student", "form 210k", "how to set up limited company" etc etc etc. the other day i was walking past and "when a child dies" appeared and just flew by in a hail of other search results, some in caps, some badly spelled, some long, some short, some definitely done by people without a lot of computer skill who think they're googling.

Its like an Oulipo writing exercise.
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 6 April 2016 12:28 (eight years ago) link
was just learning about oulipo recently, pretty interesting.
― japanese mage (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 6 April 2016 12:44 (eight years ago) link
I quite fancy doing a really pointlessly difficult oulipo exercise just to see how shit my writing will be. like writing a story with no Es or something.
― trickle-down ergonomics (jim in glasgow), Wednesday, 6 April 2016 18:13 (eight years ago) link
i did one where the words had to to ascend and descend in syllables from 1-5. they are pretty cool, i can imagine writing a story based on the outcome of one. they stop you thinking too much and correcting yourself as you go along. a blank page is much more scary than an oulipo exercise.

these people are right to say that society is in the gutter. the problem is, they use the past as a benchmark, when really society was if anything deeper in the gutter back then. society only comes up short when we measure it against human potential.
― Treeship, Tuesday, 12 April 2016 14:22 (eight years ago) link
so what you're saying is: the gutter is actually in society???
― Neil S, Tuesday, 12 April 2016 14:26 (eight years ago) link
these days it's hard to tell which is society and which is the gutter. and of course we're not allowed to speculate.
― japanese mage (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 12 April 2016 14:51 (eight years ago) link
we're the gutter. society is the sewage.
― Treeship, Tuesday, 12 April 2016 15:17 (eight years ago) link
or vice versa.
