lol I also have 3 meticulously hidden watermarks. Mostly for my own pleasure because they won’t get removed. Only the obvious watermarks get shopped out.

I quite like seeing things I’ve made take hold in the wild. My jimmy hill chinny reckon gif is out there and so is the flag shagger jobby I made. I wasn’t in it for the money with those in the first place so glad they are being shared and enjoyed.

or save the cold from winter

# Easy.
Start with a solar collector in the summer hemisphere connected to to a salt/water heat battery array, which in turn connects to a pan-hemispheric megaplumbing network delivering hot water to taps in the winter hemisphere.

# Oh there's also the idea that we give everyone on earth a kilo of permafrost
that they can put in their fridge/freezer and save loads of electricity.

And release all the greenhouse gasses sequestered within it, and oh by the way we're strip mining the polar regions to do this.

# Science accommodates your wish
It’s called “district heating”.
Currently saves loads of gas in the Danish (and Swedish + elsewhere) towns. Particularly where seasonal heat storages are deployed.
(I work with this stuff, so had to post unfunny and factual comment. Sorry.).

Lovely cartoon up there btw.

# If he’s supposed to look intimidating it’s not working
Those cans just look ridiculous.

# He's supposed to be a Pau'an
who are supposed to look like :this:.

But they hired a short dumpy guy and stuck a generic bald wig on him, glued some earphones on and made a start on the makeup, but then said fuck it.

Maybe casting Hayden Christensen (6'0") in David Prowse's (6'6") role of Darth Vader meant they had to cast short people for all the other roles. And maybe the expense of Ewan McGregor meant they had to cut the costume budget.

# Have you actually tried to watch Picard or STD?
'Worst Star Trek ever' doesn't begin to describe just how eye gaugingly terrible those shows are.
