one time in 2007 i crashed the entire club penguin website. it was down for 2 days. i was banned for life.

many of you have asked, and so i shall give: 

in 2007, my older brother gave me a small piece of information that would soon result in the shutdown of Club Penguin for a few days. he taught me a glitch in the club penguin system that, when sitting in the coffee shop, would make your penguin sit on the ceiling of the coffee shop instead. 

and with this piece of information, i took off. i spent hours going to every server over and over, saying the same message: everyone meet in the coffee shop tomorrow at 7 pm in the snowball server. i did this in every single server, in every location i could find.

then, finally, 7 pm the next day arrived. snowball had a population rating of 5. penguins poured into the coffee shop, all awaiting my instructions. i then gave the next message, that of the glitch. i told everyone to wait exactly 3 minutes, then perform the glitch. they did. every penguin in the coffee shop was suddenly on the ceiling, and either the club penguin coding or the club penguin offices had no idea what to do, and no way to take us down. for a small glimpse of time, we ruled victorious – nothing and no one could stop us. 

every great kingdom awaits its downfall, however. eventually, the website crashed. no one could go on the website for 2 days after that. my penguin was banned for life.

It’s 2018 and I still have no clue how CDs work. It’s a shiny disc, how do they get data on that, let alone that much?? Magic

Like a vinyl disc, where a physical groove is marked into the vinyl, a laser marks the ink of a CD in a similar manner.

A laser (your disc drive) can then look at the pattern in the ink and understand it.

There’s no grooves on a CD tho???

image

They’re just really tiny, hence the laser. The smaller grooves means that more info can fit on a disc of the same size.

Man how the fuck did they figure out how to make that

“What if we replaced the Diamond needle of a record player with a laser?”

it’s only comparable to the grooves on a vinyl record in the sense that a spiral is the best way to store a track of data on a rotating disc. the truth is far more impressive than any of you have let on

Audio is translated into an electrical signal by a device that produces alternating current at the same frequency and intensity (voltage) as the sound waves hitting it, a microphone.

The voltage of that analogue audio signal is measured 44,100 times per second on a scale from -32,768 to 32,767 and stored as binary.

That binary does not go onto the disc directly as burnt area = 0, as many sources will tell you. The change from a pit to a land or vice-versa is what signifies a 1. It is also modulated to allow the player to read it more easily and encoded in a way so that the disc can still be read even if there are many bits that cannot be read due to a reasonable degree of scratches or dirt.

That finalized set of binary instructions is fed into a laser that etches the pits into a glass disc coated with a polymer that falls off glass discs easily when hit directly by a laser. It is then put in a vacuum chamber, coated with nickel, and a negative copy of that is grown by the complicated process of electrodeposition.

That negative copy is used to mold a disc of clear plastic with all the pits and lands. After it is molded it is coated with aluminum and another layer of plastic on top of the aluminum.

You put it in the CD player and the sensor that measures how much light is reflected by the laser sends that data to a little computer that reverses those modulations and error-correction encoding and sends that data to a circuit that takes the now-raw binary data and turns it back into an analogue signal that is amplified and sent to a speaker.

So it’s like a vinyl record?

yeah kinda

Our country has fascism. This is the creator of rick and morty and community saying he’s not a nazi and you should too. To actually stand up and say no.

The discourse is over. Nazi white nationalist whatever the fuck they want to call it now are terrorists.

Their entire platform is to get rid of minorities. 

BLM and antifa’s platform is “don’t kill me please”

Honestly, I wish it wasn’t so surprising to see a white man creator/showrunner loudly, clearly, and articulately explain why it’s not even a matter to entertain the IDEOLOGIES of fascism

This is the only proper mainstream media response the Nazis.  

It is not radical, but in fact, a reasonable, moderate position, to decide genocide is wrong and evil, no debate.

“The discourse is over. We have sat. We have talked. We have pondered. The discourse is over…the war has begun. You’re not talking to Nazis anymore. You’re not talking to people that want to entertain the notion of being a Nazi anymore. You don’t want to talk to people that want to circumscribe the concept of Nazism within a fucking Socratic dialectic about goddamn whether Nazi Nazi Nazi Nazi. 

They’re fucking Nazis. . It’s the bedrock of humanity. It’s so low that the worst people in the world find it, and that’s where they rally. And it’s so low

We have gotten so bad, that a 1/3 of our country has gotten there! 29% of the people are fucking Nazis! Let’s face it. That’s a minority. We can beat them! We have to say, ‘I’m NOT A NAZI’ though!”

2/3 of the country doesn’t want to be political. It’s not politics to say you’re not a Nazi! It’s like taking a shit. You just do it or you explode! You die if you don’t shit and you die if you don’t say you’re not a Nazi. Fascism is a fucking cancer, it will eat your country unless your country kills it.

Here’s what happens when you get cancer: nothin good. nothing. There is no way out of it. I’m your country’s doctor. You’ve got cancer. You have fascism. You are going to suffer. You are going to fight. You are going to feel pain. You are not getting out of this. We have fascism. It is happening. We’re fucking dead maybe, or maybe they’re dead. That’s about it. There’s not a continuum. It’s not a grey area. It’s not a fad. Fascism doesn’t pop up and then recede when it finds out no one’s into it. It doesn’t respond to love. It doesn’t respond to hate. It doesn’t respond to ignoring it. It doesn’t respond to timeouts. It doesn’t respond to attention. It doesn’t respond to lack of attention.

You stab it. You cut it out. You bombard it with poison or you die. And in any case, you will probably die. Don’t die talking to cancer! Don’t die hanging out with it. Don’t die arguing with it on Twitter. It’s fucking fascism. ENOUGH! Team up. Stop bitching about Bernie Sanders. I don’t care what flavor you want your democracy to be. It’s democracy versus motherfucking fascism! You can be as Bernie as you want! You got to do it later man. You’ve got to do it fucking later. You got to do it later.”

(Watch the video if you can because the delivery is almost as good as the message)

It’s hilarious seeing nazis and centrist throw around those rick and morty memes like guys your beloved show hates you

can someone post that gif of summer and rick beating up a nazi?
