why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

The alarm at one place i worked *did* have a 'duress code' built into it, one you could enter if someone was forcing you to open up and which would alert the police, so it is possible (but obviously bullshit here)

(And the ATM *could* know you'd typed your pin in backwards - it knows when you've typed it correctly so it must know what it is.)

((Or it could be like a password where the hash is stored and the entered password is hashed again and compared against the stored version, which would mean it wouldn't know you'd typed it backwards))

What I'm saying is that this is possible, which is probably why people believe it.

Thing is, 4 digit pin only has 10,000 variants so, as Roberto alluded above, there's going to be thousands and thousands of people who have palindrome PINs.

There does seem to be a brain disconnect with some people when they see something like this on social media. I've also seen fairly bright people sharing shit like this or replying 'Yes' on those fucking ones that say Stare at the photo, click Like then reply Yes and watch the magic happen.

The backward PIN trick is so important and useful that all Banks have left it up ExploreTalent.com to inform all of their customers that it exists through a viral facebook post

maybe taking crowdsourcing too far

the few conversations i've had with my postman lead me to believe that a serial killer delivers packages to my house way more frequently than once a month

That's a parody right

Honestly those postal game packages do appeal to me, but they're usually hideously overpriced. Also I totally get why "what if a serial killer delivered packages to your door" is a ridiculous advert.

oh, i bet it would be fun! it basically seems like a physical irl version of an interactive story game, right?

Wolf In White Van is probs what piqued a lot of Ilxors' interests in this kind of thing

Oh cool ive got 30 odd years to deffo invent like zipcar 2.0 or something cos in special

I could totally see myself inventing some great fried chicken when I'm 65, and by inventing I mean eating a large platter of it

lol

quarter life crisis at 25, mid life crisis at 35

jesus and buddha and jimi hendrix need to be on that timeline tbf

i guess whatever happened in the intervening decade certainly warrants a crisis

when you're 35 you just sit there and take a shit, thinking of your future business opportunities

That's when you think of fried chicken.

I don't think all that many people get married when they're 20 anymore, but whatevs; I presume it's not meant to be rigorous.

imo mid-life crisis is a free floating range, you can drift into it any time between 35 and 50

or whenever you buy that corvette

...I dont get that tshirt. Whys it a misquoted GoT thing?

mid-life crisis is a free floating range, you can drift into it any time between 35 and 50

Possibly because people die at different ages. If you have it when you're 35 that means you'll die when you're 70.

you're assuming a crisis is a moment and not an ongoing condition!

mine started right around age 23 iirc but i've extended my lifespan considerably by picking a few saturdsys a month and putting it on pause

I flipped out in my late 20s and tried to conform to a bunch of conventions that I thought would make life better. Now it's, like you say, searching for those saturdays

Well, I'm 56 and I still haven't had one.

Then again, I had a bad illness at 21, so every year is a bonus effectively..

Wait, was I supposed to have one?

They overrated.

So, basically if you get to a certain age, and decide you want a sporty car, that's level one.

A sporty girlfriend, that's level five (two if you're not actually married, etc)

What else?

change career paths when you have a good job, go back to school, change your lifestyle by becoming some crazed marathon runner, become an expat somewhere with a low coat of living, post on craigslist looking for someone interested in cannibalism to eat you

i'm one for five there, and i keep juuuuust missing on the cannibalism partner

keep hustling karl, you'll find that special cannibal one day

the problem is that traditionally, you have to eat others before you are eaten, and that has been an absolute mess to arrange

classic catch-22

when will our poLIEticians wake up and deregulate the cannibal industry

animator is very much a facebook viral artist; this stuff is too obvious even for political cartoons

in what universe is acer's brand identity up there with Mcdonalds

why even bother changing spellings if you aren't making a poorly formed joke. i am really hating this artist thing

I call this one "Corp-rophilia"

keeping up on the latest trends is the only thing that fills the void in my soul
