WantsandMore: Season 4, Episode 5 if i remember correctly. it was the episode that was aimed at Tyler Perry 😂 Joseph Benjamin had an uncredited role as an "actor" on Mr. Chocolate set. Very surreal episode IMO. 1 Like |

Phones / Re: 5 Inches Android Phones by RobinRay(m): 7:05pm On Aug 04, 2023 |
Hi, I share your disdain for phones with large screens. But sadly, phone manufacturers have to follow consumer trends and the majority of people want big phones. That's why Apple didn't make an iPhone 14 mini. Anyhoo, the most accessible and powerful 5'-ish phones you can get are either the iPhone 12 mini or 13 mini. But since you said you prefer an Android, you should check out the Asus Zenphone 9. This compact 5.9-inch screen is quite a bit smaller than most phones, but it doesn't suffer in quality at all thanks to its Super AMOLED display that's capable of reaching a 120Hz refresh rate. Plus, it's powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and has 8GB of RAM to make sure you can accomplish everything you need. The Zenphone 10 also came out a while back, but expect it to be pricer. Other notable mentions are Samsung Galaxy S23 and Google Pixel 6a with a 6.1-inch screen each. If you're looking for a budget device with a compact screen size, omo... you go find tire. 2 Likes |

lol, I'm usually surprised how most people glorify the "gig" economy being created by the tech industry. And to be very honest how many fintech start-ups do we really need? Also the industry is prone to trends that get hyped up unnecessarily. From the dot-com bubble To the era of social media To Uber type services (Airbnb, DoorDash, Etc) To Cryptos and NFTs To Web3 To The Metaverse Now we're in the era of Generative AI. The local job market for tech talents cannot absorb all the current candidates talk less of the young ones just getting started with their first Python tutorial . 40 Likes 3 Shares |

[quote author=ArtificialGPT][/quote] Stealing credit from artists is a very petty thing to do. Even if you do not know the original artist, that isn't an excuse to claim someone's intellectual property as yours. These were created by a talented AI artist named David Zinyama. https://www.instagram.com/davidzinyama.ai/ He used Midjourney to create them, but that might be too expensive for some people that want to generate images from their own prompts. Bing has a free AI generator that is powered by DALL-E. https://www.bing.com/images/create?FORM=GENEXP enjoy |

Ourtruth247: I mean, it's basic physics... It all comes down to water. On Earth, moisture in the materials helps absorb earthquake energy like a sponge, reducing its effects. But the Moon lacks water, so during moonquakes, vibrations keep bouncing around like a ringing bell until they fade away. Ohhh also in your previous post you mentioned that all natural satellites orbit around their host planets' equators which is ummm, just so wrong... But then again, screw simple explanations! everyone loves an audacious claim especially when you use big-sciencey words to buttress your points. Your threads, (albeit so scientifically inaccurate they come off as laughable) are also a relief from the mundane topics that litter this forum and actually encourage Nairalanders to ask critical questions. So big ups homie. 14 Likes |

like the Metaverse and NFTs, the whole AI industry is a highly over-valued bubble waiting to burst. while I agree that AI is an amazing technology that will have profound effects on human society in decades to come, but at this point AI tools like ChatGPT are just really advanced word predictors. fun fact: when Texas Instruments released the first portable digital calculators, everyone thought that mathematicians were going to be out of a job.

TV/Movies / Re: Animation Lovers, What Animation Are You Watching? by RobinRay(m): 2:18am On Jul 17, 2023 |
Babysho: my first encounter with Studio Ghibli movies was Spirited Away; I was initially drawn by the aesthetics of it all but it blossomed into an appreciation of the genius that is Hayao Miyazaki Arcane was a weird one for me, I watched the first 2 episodes to see what the hype was about; I didn't know when I binged the whole season in one go, last I heard S2 might drop in early 2024... LDR came out after I watched 5 seasons of Black Mirror, so it really satisfied my itch for anthologies at that point. S1 is the only season I can rewatch with no skips. My favourite episodes are The Secret War and probably Jibaro. Tuca and Bertie is a must-watch for any fan of Bojack same goes with Undone. Bojack Horseman singlehandedly raised my expectations of what a well-written show should be from the subtle jokes in the background to Princess Carolyn's tongue twisters to Todd's wacky schemes. Bojack Horseman is comedic perfection. My favourite episode? Free Churro S5E6; his eulogy at his mom's funeral. My favourite character has to be Princess Carolyn. Bob Burgers and I can never seem to work , I just don't know why. Watched the first 2 seasons and I was like meh... Thanks for the recommendation, I'll give it a watch |

Most Nigerians tend to assume animation is childish or redundant genre. What they fail to realise is that it is a very very efficient medium of storytelling that live-action media could never replicate. And it's incredibly diverse from animé to stop motion to 3d animation to conventional 2d animation. Some of the best offerings I've seen this year in no particular order are: Fired From Mars The Boondocks (it's shocking how each episode can be applied to the Nigerian setting, we all know at least one Uncle Rukus) Dr. Stone Vinland Saga Virtually all films by Studio Ghibli When The Wind Blows Arcane Bojack Horseman Family Guy/American Dad (not as comedic as earlier seasons anymore) Undone Tuca and Bertie The Simpsons Archer and so on. In summary, animation isn't a genre of media, but a medium by which complex stories are told in an engaging manner. 35 Likes 1 Share |

Birland is an unrecognized state that claims the Bir Tawil region between Sudan and Egypt. Due to its status as de jure unclaimed territory, a number of individuals and organizations have attempted to claim Bir Tawil as a micronation. Due to the remoteness and hostile climate of the region, the vast majority of these claims have been by declarations posted online from other locations. None of these claims, or any others, have been recognized, officially or otherwise, by any government or international organization. From the Canva-esque designs of the flag and coat of arms; any rational person should know they're a bunch of con-men giving themselves made up titles in order to scam individuals under the pretext of doing business with the "State of Birland" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bir_Tawil 1 Like |

people tend to forget culture is subject to change. a rational society apply these changes based on utilitarian values (how beneficial it is to the average person). if a majority of cultural group decides to change something, it will change; whether you are in support or not. All major cultural groups are changing in Nigeria due to globalization. No matter how you try to demonize it, it is a natural response to be able to better adapt in a globalized world. 2 Likes |

mariahAngel: almost all plants that are farmed commercially have been genetically modified. if you see a "natural" watermelon or banana. it will be almost unrecognizable from your normal idea of what those fruits are. GMO's have been in the Nigerian diet for decades now. from our tomato, to our rice, to chickens (broilers). they have been modified to provide better yield. I understand your skeptism towards GMOs but they pose no significant harm to the population. 1 Like 1 Share |
