: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK
Other than jizz sculptures of strange mountains
* BORIS JOHNSON EATS A POT NOODLE IN THE BATH
- disturbing animation genius Ross Butters is
at it again. Do not watch this if you ever
want to have normal thoughts again. Or,
indeed, enjoy a pot noodle. Can somebody give
this guy a series?
https://b3ta.com/links/Boris_Johnson_Eats_A_Pot_No...
* BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY VS AI - Sharhcore has
taken Bill Shatner's cover of the Queen mega
hit, then thrown the lyrics at an AI image
GAN. The results are horrible... but
interesting.

-------------------------------------------------
: HEBTRO SPONSORSHIP
Buy some fucking jeans you lovely wankers
Many of our readers have legs and these legs
are too sexy to show in public, so they need
to be covered in durable denim to keep off all
the people who'd be too turned on by the sight
of b3tan naked leg flesh. Protect your legs at
Hebtro:

: FESSHOLE
Terrible confessions, horribly out of control
Each week we ask you to fess up your lies into
a big fib bin and we publish the worst. Some
that have caught our eye this week:
* DIGITAL WATCH - "I had a Casio remote
control watch that I used to torment my
neighbour with by turning up the volume on
their TV from outside their front window. They
couldn't figure it out & got a priest in to
bless the house. I stopped after that."
* SEX FOR PLUMBING - "I'm a plumber and once
had the cliché porn scene where a customer
said it was more expensive than she expected
and couldn't afford it. I was expecting a shag
or at least a blowjob, but instead she offered
me her coupon booklet and a homemade cake. I
told her I could wait for the money."
* NAUGHTY! - "Old prick who lives across the
road got into an argument with my mother, made
her cry. Next day I noticed he left his front
door open when he was in the back garden. I
entered quickly and stole one shoe from each
of the five pairs neatly lined up in the hall.
Still feel great about it."
Join the 153,000 people who should know
better. Oh and here's a bonus confession that
made us laugh, "My girlfriend started an
OnlyFans during lockdown, I don't have a
problem with that, till she uploaded a picture
of her playing with my cock. The comments were
unkind at best. The ones about the length of
my nutsack have given me a complex."

: SITES IN BRIEF
Content made by some other cunts
* WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT GUY WHO TOOK A PHOTO
OF HIMSELF EVERYDAY FOR A FEW YEARS? Today we
learned that Noah kept on taking a photograph
of himself every day up to the start of the
pandemic. Yeah, there's twenty years of this
stuff now. You probably don't *need* to watch
it - it was an upsetting foreshadowing of
mortality by about 2003. But don't you want to
see?
https://www.youtube.com/watch
* YOU'LL ENJOY THIS VIDEO, TRUST US - Ever
wondered how wallpaper was made in the past?
The art of marbling is both fascinating and
very satisfying.
https://www.youtube.com/watch
* FOLLOW UP ON SOME WEB BULLSHIT - That "Cat
person and me" viral essay that blew up a few
years ago has a curious coda - everyone banged
on about how real and well written it was.
Well it WAS real and the author largely lifted
the details from someone else's life. The
drama thickens!
https://slate.com/human-interest/2021/07/cat-perso...
* WHAT THE NERDS ARE DOING IS SEXY AS HELL -
This seems to have been popular with the
mega-nerds this week. Someone has managed to
play a Commodore 1541 demo with the computer
unplugged, so everything happens with the disk
drive alone. Witchcraft!
https://www.youtube.com/watch
* HOW TO DO AI IMAGES THE EASY WAY - If you
want to know how to make AI images, here's a
tutorial that anyone who can tinker a bit can
follow.

-------------------------------------------------
: FUNNY NAME CORNER
Oh god it's back
Yeah, everyone was talking about Nonce
Finance this week. It's a bit of linguistic
awfulness that crops up quite often actually.
Nonce is word used in cryptography to mean "a
number or bit string used only once" and it's
not that all the crypto bros are on Tor and
debating "why, actually, no, Epstein was an
ephebophile". Not JUST that anyway.

: FRIDAY GAME
COVID 19 Management sim
A management game where you play the Czech
government handling the Corona crisis. The
most fun way to play is to imagine the game is
called 'Can You Do Worse Than A Boris
Johnson?' and see if you can make the worst
possible decisions at every opportunity.
https://koronahra.cz/game
-------------------------------------------------
: IMAGE CHALLENGE
Channel4
In a small gesture of support towards Channel
4, against the government likely selling them
off to wankers, we asked B3tans to photoshop
Britain's fourth channel.
* Pukka Jamie Oliver gag from Dick Wonder:
http://b3ta.com/board/11346769
* Robot chaos from S4rk:
http://b3ta.com/board/11346726
* And a Countdown Conundrum from Monkeon:

challenge:

>> This week: Celebs in space <<
There's a race on, between Bezos, Branson and
(probably) Musk, to be the first of the gang
in space. What other famous people should we
cast out into the airless void? Show us
celebrities in space.

: STAR IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE
Some ideas to grind your gears
* COMPLIMENT BOT - Seeing as David Lammy has
followed anon_opin account after we posted
"David Lammy has the best twitter profile
picture of any politician. Such a genuine
happy photo face". Maybe it could be a project
for someone? Like Wowbagger the Infinitely
Prolonged but nice: systematically compliment
everyone on the planet.
* 'LET'S GO TO THE TOILET', CHOOSE YOUR OWN
ADVENTURE - bad outcomes include your ring
getting slightly raw and feeling sad that the
poo baby is gone.
* BITTER FEET CARPET SYMPHONY - we've got some
ridged carpet fitted that makes a noise if you
scuff your feet against it and the pitch goes
up if you do it faster. Surely someone could
turn this into performance art that gets to No
1 on the hit parade? Bryan Adams has been
there too long.
Post the better cocks through our letterbox:
