Everything is in its /r/Place
Vor fünf Jahren schrieb Reddit Internetgeschichte und erschuf mit /r/place das wahrscheinlich von den meisten Menschen gleichzeitig gemalte Pixel-Kunstwerk aller Zeiten. Eine Million User platzierten mindestens einen Pixel auf dem 1000x1000-Canvas und zum Ende des Projekts waren grade 90.000 User gleichzeitig online.
Reddit hatte nun am 1. April einen weiteren /r/Place gestartet, der irgendwann heute wieder geschlossen wird. Ich versuche grade, ein kleines Nerdcore-RIP-Logo bei [102/1170] zu pixeln, werde aber immer wieder übermalt.

Scientists have figured out why vampire bats are the only mammals that can survive on a diet of just blood and its something like this: Vampire Bats suck the blood of beautiful young woman and made a deal with squirrels who buy it and fill it into the hollow nuts to make humans believe they are cute while they are actually evil bastards from hell drinking fresh blood from superstylish cups made from nuts, all the while vampire bats hang around in bars, do coke and have some fun. I swear this is true.
So, scientists were able to talk to a paralyzed man in a coma with a BCI, who was able to communicate in full sentences in a scientific first. What did the guy want? Beer. Because ofcoure.
