Hello there, me old chum, *holds up spork*, wow, how am I not dead yet? :D Well anyhow, welcome to yet another addition of AcidMail, a newsletter so bad that currently the UN are thinking about outlawing it - if that's not cool, I don't know what is! ------------------------------------------------- >DUMB JOKE Can you name all of the Four Spice Girls of The Apocalypse? There's Death Spice, War Spice, Famine Spice, and Pestilence Spice! ------------------------------------------------- >ASCII OF THE NOW The ASCII of The Now is a weekly thing we do where we dig threw the old archives of forgotten websites, finding ASCII art that time forgot. _______ .--------------------, / \ | Monky stop talking!| /-__ | | Monkey no talk. | / o | | Ape talk. /\ | | '-------------------"-_\ |uu | \ | ___/ | / ---- / / / / /// / / / / / / / / __(\ / /| (___ "---------" / | (____ / | (__________________/ | _,^^,/ / \ (G,66>_/ \ _/\_,_) _ | / _ \ ,' ) | / /"\ \/ ,_\ | __(,/ > e ) / (_\.oO / \_ / ( -,_/ \_/ / U \_, _) / ( / / // mic >/ / // (.oO / / :F_P: | \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ .--, \ / /" / / _/ (_-- This weeks ASCII art is, well, kind of odd, well, like, hm... It's of a monkey (a rather human looking one, but that's beside the point), seemly about to twat an ape. Me man, me hunt for food, me no need wolf to hunt with, me hunt with hands! https://owlman.neocities.org/ascii.html#:F_P: https://owlman.neocities.org/ascii.html#mic%20%28miK%29 https://www.asciipr0n.com/fp/ascii/unpr0n/small_stuff.html ------------------------------------------------- >CHECK THIS SHIT OUT! They say looking at TV will turn your eyes square, that never happened to anyone we know, so we guess that it would be fine to also browse the web for 23-hours-a-day, Hell, if it won't for us browsing the web so much, how would we have found all of these links? Got you there, mom and dad! : TWO SAYS SAVE A FROG FROM SUICIDE : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1buMUfYby2M Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. A poor frog was going to to the die, but two brave men presided them otherwise Truly heart warning moment indeed. Internet = Won! : EVOLUTION OF THE SCROLLBAR : https://scrollbars.matoseb.com/ Short and sweet website that shows the history of the scrollbar, from NeXTSTEP in 1989 all the way to Windows 10 in 2015. Shout-out to Windows 95 and Vista for being the best. : REDDIT COMMENT VOTE PREDICTOR : http://www.votepredictor.com/ At AcidJaw and NeoZones, we're all big suckers for neural networks, and as a way to *not* break the chain, here is yet another one to add to the pile. To take a quote from its website; "[Vote Predictor is a] neural network [that] was fed thousands of top-level and second-level comments from reddit's most popular subreddits[.] [...] The neural network was trained to predict the number of votes a comment would get. Another neural network was trained with a subset of these comments that were highly voted to generate text" - so the long and short for what it does is that you select what subreddit you are going to post on and what your comment will be, the NN will then predicts how many up or doenvotes you could get. As with all neural networks, it isn't always 100% correct, for example, if you select the r/pics subreddit with the post called "Look at this cute doggo!" with the comment of "God, I fucking hate dogs and the French. Fuck dogs, I hope they all burn in the deepest, darkest pits of Hell. I also hate Big Chungus and I fucked you are mom.", then you will apparently get 13 votes on Reddit. : MINECRAFT 'LOOPHOLE' LIBRARY OF BANNED JOURNALISM : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-51883247 Whenever people say some rubbish like "video games are only a blood bath", one they're wrong, two, they are wrong. The whole idea of The Uncensored Library is so cool; it's a virtual library that was made as a way for players of the game to be able to read articles by journalists which were censored online. To quote the BBC article; After two hours of trying, the BBC managed to visit the virtual library and asked its patrons what they thought about it. SoulfulGenie said they thought "it needs more books and a new section on North Korea" and another user called it "ingenious in many ways", adding that, as the library may be downloaded and reuploaded by other users, "it is easy to replicate and therefore hard to kill". Meanwhile, other players focused on the appearance of the library, with ReduxPL saying it "looks incredible indeed". Projects like this prove that computer games aren't simply full of mindless shoot 'em ups, but rather projects that can help people. This is just a fantastic project, and best of luck to everyone who is working on it! ------------------------------------------------- >UNTIL NEXT TIME The AcidMail newsletter would not be possible if it won't for the vile people over on at NeoZones, perhaps one of the worst "webhomes" on the WWW.
