>You don't need Internet to shut up the kids. Just build a lego pyramid or some shit like that. Children are easily impressed. 
I'm not disagreeing with you on that, the problem is that normalfags just want to do the bare minimum in raising their kids and that is their solution.

Yeah that's why cuckservatives should be thankful that Trump gave them a boost. Honestly Trump should rebuild the Republican party from the ground up.

So, what are some of your favorite memories of the old internet?


Can be websites, memes, events or any other aspect of the days of Web 1.0 and 1.5


For a quick reference, here's what I would define as Web 1.0 and Web 1.5


>Web 1.0: Usenet, Geocities and Angelfire, AOL (1991-2001)
>Web 1.5: Early YouTube, ED, 4chan in its "wild west" days, MySpace, YTMND, Newgrounds and the peak years of dA and Fanfiction.net (2001-2008)


You also had cross-generation stuff like GameFAQs and IMDB which are still around today, although sadly IMDB's infamous message boards are gone

In some ways I agree, Greentext anon. And mental illness is certainly exacerbated significantly within many Anons today by ((( Current Year ))) evil shenanigans. But pleasing & effective opensauce robowaifus will go a long, long way towards helping to alleviate much of that issue for many, I deem. After that, the real healings can conceivably begin.

2B or not 2B? 
Philosophy is a study on how we define and answer fundamental topics and concepts.
What even is a robot? How do you define a waifu? 
What is a human? What is love?

>No, a robot is a machine which acts in accordance with a base goal. This goal being enacted via its form, programming, inherent reactance to stimuli, etc... Prove me wrong.

Gaming PC. Built to play video games, enacted through it's form and programming (operating system). Not many would consider it a robot.

Telepresence Robot. Has form and programming, but no inherent reactance to stimuli. Unless you consider the buttons used to control it as stimuli. But then the Gaming PC has an inherent reactance to stimuli then.

>I contest that a waifu is actually a character that elicits strong, positive feelings. Especially feelings of affection.
Feelings of affections that are not currently reciprocated is basically a crush.

>This is just intellectually lazy. A human is more than their scientific classification.
But that's what a human is. "Human" is essentially a synonym for "homo sapiens". For example, Neanderthals were relatively very close to what a human is, but we don't consider them human. Now, granted, there is the belief of a soul. I do believe in souls personally.

If there was a humanoid alien that was very close to human, it would still not be considered human. Even if I bred with the alien, and made a child, it would still not be considered human (see: Spock from Star Trek)

One of the best automated cleaning devices is an air purifier. It can run all day long, and it takes dust and other particles out of the air. I have a large air purifier that I call "Galatea's little sister", because it has the same color scheme (black and white with blue lights), and it cleans for me.

Galatea has a mini air purifier on her base, and it's a good way to add cleaning abilities to your robowaifu.

Downside: It can't carry much weight, so your design has to be smol and lightweight.

Average Gaming PC Price: $1000-$2500
Upper Gaming PC Price: $5000

Obviously, if you can create a quality functional robowaifu for less, that's great! This is just to inform you of a good price range that will "sell" well while still being a realistic goal.

Hello everyone! I was talking to someone the other day and we discussed hikki things. One thing he mentioned that I never really considered is that solitude can become loneliness depending on your perception of yourself. 

What I've come to ask you all is, do you enjoy your own company? Do you make yourself laugh and enjoy being alone with yourself? It's proven that, too much time by yourself will make you go mad, but in short bursts it's actually very healthy. This leads to striking a balance between human interaction and solitude being the best way to live life. How do you feel when you're alone? How do you feel when you're around friends? Do you look forward to the transition between being alone and sharing a space with other individuals and vice versa?

I enjoy my own company and although I'm very timid and nervous when it comes to imminent human interaction, I enjoy it in the moment and am glad it happened after the fact. I look forward to being by myself at the end of the day and maybe even for a full day to detox from the world, but after a few days of not seeing anyone or hanging out with anybody I become more and more lonely and seek interactions, even if they're just phone calls. I grew up with many friends in my neighborhood, but they all ended up moving away by the time I was in my teen years and the only friends I had up until recently were people online that I'd speak to almost every day. These days, I have a large circle of good friends in real life, so I m

I make myself laugh often, even all alone. I'll break into bits too just for myself. 

I'm often alone, but almost never lonely. I do feel very isolated, if that makes sense as a different feeling.

I don't see a lot of people.
I don't care either way. My feelings don't belong to me. Whether I feel comfortable alone or not depends on the amount of stress and anxiety. I just use whatever mood is at hand based on my previous experience. I prefer being alone. But there isn't much of anything either way, so I'd be glad to have better social grounding to lay my hands on some money. But it's fine either way. Sun still rises every day, so long as I've got some food on my plate I'm fine.
I like spending time with family, but other than that I prefer to be alone. If I lived by myself, then I imagine I might get more lonely.

The problem is that people are not interested in building their own robowaifu, they either want a subscription or a full price tag, they don't want to do all this weird programing learning or building. For example in that forum above we could make guides on how to use the upcoming orifice Ai, paid Ai girlfriends, how to use the upcoming Samsung XR for a 3d girlfriend, showcase different high quality porn games (AVNs/WVNs), and other things.

Kinda like how the MustacheAI channel does:

I don't see that as a problem. For example on other IB sites, many robowaifu threads don't even discuss much by way of technical particulars about creating robowaifus, rather simply adding to the noosphere about owning robowaifus. This is a very-valuable, positive contribution to the robowaifu movement itself!!

Maybe you can work to drive the conversations between yourself and your forum's Anons at least towards that general direction? After all, each of us have our parts to play!  :^)

>I could even give you ownership of the forum.

You are the President of Earth, and a mysterious planet from another galaxy is hurdling towards our planet.

Transmissions from the mysterious planet have been sent directly to you by those who live there. It has life with sentient intelligent beings. They have double the population of our world's. Their technological tier is unclear, but it's at least roughly equivalent to ours, if not superior. Just when they were about to state if they were friendly, hostile, or otherwise, a solar storm flares and blocked their communications from us. Their intentions are unknown.

The scientists have calculated a 70/30 percentage chance of one-of-two outcomes of where this planet will go. There's a 70% chance this planet will shrimply be caught by the suns gravity and will orbit harmlessly between Earth and Mars, giving us a new neighbor (for better or worse). But, there's also 30% chance this planet will collide with Earth, mutually destroying their world and our own.

The planet is closing in and will be here quite soon, and the solar storms are keeping communications of the otherworldly beings blocked. As President of Earth, you exclusively have the activation code for a planet destroying super weapon. It is charged ready to fire on your command. If it is not fired now it will have to be deactivated to prevent a massive overload, and will take 2 years for it to charge and be ready again.

You can either destroy their planet and kill all the otherworldly beings, or you can do no

This is definitely a bit of a silly question, though.

the first problem i see with your hypothetical situation is that a planet coming our way doesn't make a lot of sense to me; if they were in control of the planet of course their technology wood be much superior than our own — if they were not, it wood either collide with earth, the sun or any other planet, also a massive planet coming our way woodn't just lock in orbit with the sun next to our own.
it wood make more sense if they were coming in a space ship, or many if you will.

anyway, i woodn't shoot them, the death of billions of alive creatures woodn't come from my hands; first, because if we destroy their planet theres a great chance of the fragments of such massive destruction hit our own (since their planet is heading our way) causing a mass extinction here; second, showing hostility first wood send the wrong message, imagine for a moment that they are not alone, maybe they are the first planet heading to our solar system because their star is dying out there and they need a new sun, maybe they called other planets too, who knows whos coming next?

in such pressure to take action, you just need to remember that you can always and will mostly regret whatever you end up doing; kill them or not, the result could be a disaster either way, so i choose not.

Je ne sais pas si c'est un truc propre à l'époque ou dû aux limitations techniques mais les scénaristes pouvaient partir très loin pour compenser ça. Les designeurs n'étaient pas en reste et savaient pousser les limites de leur machines pour donner naissance à des univers bien barrés.
Sans aller chercher loin, je trouve que les vieux Doom éveillent toujours chez moi ce sentiment de bizarrerie et de malaise, là où des trucs plus modernes de part leur recherche d'une approche d'un certain réalisme visuel sont beaucoup moins marquant.
J'avais plein de CD de trucs shareware complétement oubliés aujourd'hui qui me mettaient mal à l'aise ou m'émerveillaient. Peut-être étais-je encore jeune et impressionnable aussi.

Tensegrity Thread

Tenssegrity is the purposeful application of tension in a system of non-contact components to provide integrity. These components effectively float on compression provided by tension elements. Tensegrity structures are often formed via rigid rods with a cable defining the spatial relations of the system. Picrel 1 is NASA’s Super Ball Bot, which uses the common 6 bar structure. By altering the lengths of the rods, the “ball” can roll. Please see (https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/super-ball-bot/)
Our bodies use tensegrity to provide us with incredible strength, durability, and adaptability. Consider how when you bump into something or fall, you can feel the pressure dissipate throughout large parts of your body. This is due to your muscles, fascia, ligaments, etc… transferring the force throughout your body, protecting the impacted part. You can walk with little effort thanks in part to tensegrity. Your legs joints are all floating, providing low friction movement while distributing the force of impact throughout your entire leg when you step. Please see (http://intensiondesigns.ca/geometry-of-anatomy/)
Tensegrity can also be made with elastic elements. These structures are what I believe are best suited

Excellent!

I do too, Kiwi. IMO, we're simply not likely to successfully manage all the tradeoffs needed for effective & pleasing robowaifus without incorporating design elements relying on tensegrity principles (whether they be 'canon', or no) into her frame & support systems.

I'm personally excited by a specific thread on this very-cool topic. Thanks, OP!  :^)

This straws+strings (jumbo drinking straws+ultra-high molecular weight fishing line, actually) approach is right up my alley, concerning building ultra-lightweight, very low-cost robowaifu skellingtons.

Jumbo drinking straws are pretty much near the limits of physics in providing strong, lightweight (and cheap!) support structures in space.

>ultra-high molecular weight fishing line
BTW, slightly off-topic (but only slightly): this stuff can be woven into fabric. *

Combined with good sewn textile patterns+vacuum forms+a little hardening resin (interior/concave sides only -- for smooth exteriors), this presents us all with interesting possibilities concerning our robowaifu's shells (very lightweight, resilient to impacts/resistent to punctures, reasonably inexpensive, easily-repaired). Properly-designed, these shells can then also directly provide 'support frames' for underlying internal tensegrity structures (perhaps with the addition of some simple interior 3D-printed hoops/'ribbing'). Lots of potential benefits, AFAICT.  :^)

They won't. But the effect (though miniscule by comparision) is vaguely-similar -- it strengthens national interests, and weakens globalist (ie, the kike's) interests.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think President Musk Trump will actually do this (end the US Fed), but ahh but what a glorious outcome in the end if he did!!  :^)

Granted, I am thinking short term. But for now, all I see is higher prices on items me and others buy through a tax. My hope is that it would just be the economic version of growing pains.

Don't give me hope like that, I can only be let down so many times.

The FED is right up there with superPACs and real covenants (along with its younger brother, HOAs) on the list of shit that needs to be purged from the fucking planet.

Excellent! I was hoping you'd say that, Anon. I figured you were.  :^)

Then I'll plan to try scaling/fitting my design mocks for hips & shoulders + actuators into it's volumes to see where I stand with your shell sculpt.
From >>355
A good lesson for the prototypers here, if you intend for your design to be replicated, make sure the third-party devices have multiple sellers, the more the better, so that if one goes down, your design isn't instantly impossible to build. Even then, you should have backup designs in case the exact model is not being sold anymore.
I learned that the hard way with a design in 2023, and with Galatea I have had it happen twice, once before Galatea v1 with the speaker, and recently with the Pleasure Unit, the latter because it had some other sellers, but not too many.
TL:DR, with third party devices in open source designs, make sure there are several sellers easily found, across multiple websites.

My words turned out to be prophetic, since these new Tariffs will raise the price of certain sources.
I myself am slightly modifying Galatea to have a "Tariff-proof" design.

I remember one time when I was around 8 years old, my father and I were driving down some country road in the middle of nowhere. At that point in my life, I'd developed this deep fondness for old and abandoned houses because of this one particular old house we'd pass eberry day on the way to school.

Anyways, my pop and I spotted this old house that was clearly abandoned. There was this chainlink fence all around it covered in overgrowth. This place must have been sitting for decades. I ask my dad if we can go explore it and he was typically against stuff like that, but this day he obliged me. 

The chainlink fence had a door sized gate that was open, so we just walked on in. A little after walking through the gate and looking at the house, we start hearing something moving fast that is clearly on the inside of the fence with us. This must've been around fall because you'd hear this thing crunching on leaves all around the backside of the house.

We caught a glimpse of it at one point and it habbened to be an adult doe deer! It must've wandered in out of curiousity just before we got there and got stuck.

Eventually, my dad and I hatched this plan where he wood run around and scare the deer into running out the open gate to free it. I'm not sure why we did this as the deer wood've probably figured it out on her own after we left, but we did it anyway! 

My dad runs around the backside of this dilapidated house and I hear the leaves crunching from his steps and then the leaves crunching from this giant galloping deer. I hear it so loudly around the corner of the house, I know it's coming fast in my direction, but I don't see it yet. It rounds the corner and comes running straight at me and I try to guide/scare it towards the open gate, but the deer panics, slips and lands on the ground right in front of me!

So there I was with my dad and this deer on the ground that was too petrified to stand back up and I get to walk right up to it. I touch it's fur, got to pet it and feel it's heart pounding and see how fast she's breathing. I'd never touched a deer before (or since) in my entire life, so this was amazing to me. My dad ended up grabbing this little film camera people used to carry around back then and we both took turns taking a picture with this big ass live deer on the ground. 

She woodn't get back up no matter what we did, so my dad ended up picking her up and carrying her outside the gate. After my dad set her down, we walked away and the deer got up and galloped off. The way it ran off was nothing like I'd ever seen a deer galloping before. It looked like it was so habby to be free almost like it couldn't believe it was still alive.
