The new MacOS traffic lights but with a tasteful little itty-bitty glare

The reason why this works so well is because it improves the depth by making it easier for your brain to interpret the spherical-ish depth of the traffic lights. Also it improves the human element to liquid glass by making it appear more like water and humans evolved to naturally seek out water.

Day 2 of Posting "Real" Frutiger Aero images

I think these images represent the consumer aesthetic pretty well but it's always subjective.

If someone has a Bluefox NX1, could you please take a picture of it running SkeuoLauncher? I want to see what that looks like because I might switch to a BlueFox NX1 if it actually works well.

Jelly star would also work. This would be super helpful. Second image is SkeuoLauncher, you can find by searching for it on the Play store, it's by the developer "VOKKI". Ideally it would be great if you adjusted it to be as accurate to the pre-IOS 7 experience (like setting up the icons properly and setting the scale correctly) but just running it and getting good pictures is good enough!

It would probably make a good post to this subreddit too if that's some motivation to do it.

How do I tell my reddit feed that I do not give a rat's ass about TADC?

I saw the first episode, liked it, then watched half way through the second, thought it was corny, and then tuned in to watch the first few minutes of the next couple of episodes and never really liked it as much as the first episode. It's way too sentimental for something so foreign, and from what I saw it never did anything with the supposed inspiration from I have no mouth and I must scream. And the show looked like a generic 3D animation with a clown coat of paint.

But oh my gawsh there are too many TADC subreddits. I don't want this in my feed. I don't care. I don't care that stupid people are mad that Jax is trans or that they deny it even though the creator of the show said Jax is or something. I don't care that the creator of the show did this or that. I have muted what seems like 15 different TADC subreddits and Reddit just keeps recommending them to me. I don't care about the stupid crocodile cowboy guy or whatever he is supposed to be. I don't care about Fortnite Jonesy and the only thing I wonder is why is he in the show?

I want my Reddit feed to be filled with Frutiger Aero and Skeuomorphism stuff. I don't care about artificial drama about a show I never cared about past the first episode.

sliding hand man

This happened to me in the summer of 2022, it must've been 8 years ago, when I was 8 years old.

one day when i was 4 years old my mechanical pencil ran out of graphite (it's not lead, it's graphite, look it up) so i drove to the store. when i was at the counter the clerk came up to me: "hey the pencils are over there" and then they went home

i went over to the mechanical pencil aisle which was next to the fish tanks they used to have. I then realized i left my pencil at home so i went home. on my way home i realized i forgot to get mechanical pencils, so i stopped and bought some mechanical pencils. When i got home, i grabbed my mechanical pencil and went back to the store

by the time i got to the store i realized they had closed. so i asked the casherie if i could come in. they said it was fine as long as i didnt disburt the sliding hand man. i knew the sliding man hand from way back when 20 years prior at a luau in brazil. "how could he have found me all the way here." I asked to myself. I realized i couldn't do it, luckily the sliding man hand said i could so i tried a little harder to get my mechanical pencil lead. unfortunately i gave up and when home. But when i got home i noticed something crazy, my mechanical pencil had graphite in it. and not only that, it had multiplied. and then the creapy man hand killed me. and then i woke up outside the store. and then the cashier says, "hey wanna do a funny prank on yourself? here, be the sliding man hand" and so i was actually the funny hand man the whole time. But wait then how did i die? well you see, the story sctually takes place in the future where teleportation exists, so i never actually woke up, i just teleported.

the end

You ever seen fast drop shadows on scratch without turbowarp?

Repost because when I posted this the first time I did not set the post type to image.

It runs fine even on regular scratch. It is built around running in 60fps mode on turbowarp and at a higher resolution like 1280x720 or 1920x1080

Anyone else's milk expiring way early?

I've had 3 different milk jugs in a row expire way before the expiration date. Anyone else experiencing this? this is among 2 different cars, 2 different full sized fridges at 2 different buildings these were stored in, and all 3 jugs were purchased at different stores from one another. Or am I just having bad luck?

[I'm around the Montgomery area if that helps]

The official XBOX YouTube channel is still not verified for some reason

And this is their official YouTube channel with over 5 million subscribers, not some copycat.

They made boxes of heart shaped cheerios at least at one point by the way, so this is not even rare.

Interest in Frutiger Aero is increasing at a generally steady rate, which means that it is not a 1 month tiktok trend that happened in 2023 (which some people here have stated) and also means that it is likely to stay popular for a while.
