Hi. It's me. The Oatmeal guy.

I coded a word-guessing game.

Here’s how it works:
- Every day for the next month, I’m going to upload a word. Your job is to guess what it is.

- You can ask for clues, but they cost points. Try to use as few of them as possible.

- After thirty days, the game will end.

- The game starts right now. Share your scores in the comments.

P.S. I recommend starting with the “visual clue.” It’s usually a funny drawing.

Following Elsevier's decision to raise the article processing charge for NeuroImage to $3,450, all editors (inc. chief editors) from NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports have resigned, effective immediately.

I am joining this action and have also resigned.

If you're seeing all these #BandcampFriday posts and thinking, "Eh, why bother?" let me point out that the $15 you spend on Spotify this month goes almost entirely to guys with "executive" in their job title/description, with the remainder going almost entirely to already hugely successful artists who, frankly, do not need more money. No one cares you spent the money.

That same $15 on Bandcamp today, if spent on an indie artist? About $14.50 goes to the artist, and you might make their week.

Is everyone aware of the sea-level rise we are causing now? 1 meter will be catastrophic for many coastal cities and regions.
At 2 °C warming we comit the world to a long-term rise by 8-13 meters until the ice sheets come to a new equilibrium. Source: http://www.ipcc.ch

People don't fake depression, they fake being okay. Remember that and be kind.

I was gifted an ink pen over the holiday, sketched this with it today. Yes, I tapped the paper trying to undo because I’ve been drawing digitally too much lol

Senior Twitter employees admit under oath that Twitter made exceptions to its racism policies to accomodate racist tweets by Trump, even going so far as to change their polices to avoid having to enforce them on Trump's tweets.

One generation of deeply loving parents would change the brain of the next generation, and with that, the world.

There's something kind of comforting about knowing that if I were alive in literally any other era of human history I would have been burnt at the stake or lobotomized or murdered but because its 2023 I can post utterly insane things online and no one can do anything about it

What’s happening in Turkey is more of a like a swarm of earthquakes. Swarms are more often associated with volcanic systems though, as magma moves. In a strike/slip fault system, you essentially have a deck of cards sliding past each other.

When a section locks up for a long time & then moves, stresses are transferred to other places in the fault system, and then some of them move.

The amount of energy being released over ther is incredible

The lowest ever recorded temperature in the US was hit today in Mount Washington, New Hampshire wind of -78°C (-108°F)! It even *looks* cold!

Don’t wait until you are desperately sneaking through your house in the dark trying to avoid a crazed murder to realize you should have oiled those door hinges.
