The Last Fap Thread? 69

Share the 2D pics, videos, or GIFs you enjoyed in your recent fap sessions

I've jumped on the opportunity to make this iteration myself as I'd like to also use it as a thread to discuss the future of pornographic content on Wizchan. There's been a lot of debate over the years from both users and staff concerning just how appropriate porn is at all on a website for celibates. There's always been a big divide between pro and anti-hentai users and a some of you have even gone on to demand radical changes, threatening legal action of some sort. The "Ban 3DPD entirely poll" won by just one vote after all. I think everyone's opinions should be considered, but remember that this isn't a real democracy so even if 300 "unique" users vote to change the Wizchan logo to a giant dragon penis, it's not going to happen.

Why is 4chan still the most popular imageboard by far?

There are about 70x as many posts on r9k than there are on Wizchan. Do people on r9k simply not know about Wizchan? Are they too built into the habit of using 4chan to make the switch?
And its not how old a board is, either. 7chan has existed since 2006 (I'm pretty sure), and it's /b/ board has only 815,000 posts, while 4chan's /s4s/ board, which has only existed since 2013, and has amassed 10,000,000 posts.
How has 4chan, the most poorly moderated, poorly designed imageboard (except maybe endchan) held onto that many users?

Reading 4chan and Feeling Awful

General Question: does just reading 4chan for longer than 10-15 minutes make anyone feel awful and almost as if placed into a trance state? I can browse other sites for long periods of time without any ill effects, but if I stay too long on 4chan I begin to feel decidedly sick. Why does this happen?

The Cucking of the White Race

How is it that white people have become so pathetic and self destructive in modern times? They can't express pride or love for their own people and skin color without being called racist, every predominately white country is expected to be flooded with other ethnic groups, and when those groups begin to take over by way of gaining political power its celebrated as progress. Whites no longer being the majority in their own countries is seen as a good thing, when the inverse would be seen as colonialism. What the hell happened?

foss android apps presentation

any wizards in the mood to talk about free android apps? i hope so, welcome to my ted talk about free and open (well mostly) android apps.

realistically i use like 5-10 apps on my phone: weather, music, newpipe (youtube) sudoku, osmand (open maps), calculator, clock, signal (for textmessaging) and calandar.

i have installed maybe 30 apps and most i don't use. i may have used them once or a few days but never longterm. i thought it would be fun to just talk about apps that are useful. whenever i look into my app drawer i am surprised how little of the possibilities i use. i just wanted to dive into them again. contributions and valid opinions based on principles are very welcome and appreciated by me. i intend on showing a few screenshots of apps i like and talk about them a bit. feel free to ask questions that relate.

first app i love is the alternative app store i use. i don't have google play on my phone, instead i get apps from the f-droid. you don't need the app to look what they offer, you can just see what they have with a browser.

this is the f-droid page about the f-droid app https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid.

i like the f-droid very much and i am grateful for it because i never felt good using google play. in the beginning i didn't know better but then after i found out how dirty google had become, it just wasn't fun anymore to use android, i hated it, it became a chore and i didn't care about anything that happens within google play. f-droid feels so much better to me.#

strangely it always works better when i install it and then when i don't update if for months and months then suddenly the thumbnails stop working but other then that it has never disappointed me.

the unbearable heavyness of having a name

how do i find a name i like for myself? i don't think i want a name. i dislike and reject the fundamental concept of identification on a deep level. i hate to use names and i don't identify with my cattle name that my parents gave me. i never care for people's names and i seldom remember them.

for practical purposes a name might be useful so i think i should give one to myself. if people ask for my name usually i don't want to give it because i don't want that person to have a word that connects to me, thus existing in the language part of their brain. i prefer original sentience over conditioned language…

however if i don't have a name i kind of exclude myself from any social interaction that i might like. maybe i meet nice people some day and i want them to be able to give them a name. usually people always want to meet me while i hate it and they don't care because they don't have a sense of mutual interest.

i also don't want my name to be known by people that i don't consent to know it. thought about giving all the assholes my cattle name and tell the nice people my chosen name.

does any magician have any advice given my unusual preferences that i outlined? normies in bad faith gtfo.

just chuckled at the idea of calling myself question-Mark. maybe i'm looking for something stupid, ridiculous and disrespectful.

Succubi by themselves aren't interesting

I'm a 34-old permanent virgin and my future looks bleak. Strangely enough I'm not really bothered by all that.

I fully realized one truth today however, and it hit me like a sledgehammer: Succubi, surely not all of them but the vast vast majority, are boring and predictable as some cutout cartoon character. I don't dislike them, I masturbate to pictures and fantasies including them on the daily, I've got really nothing against them. But I don't appreciate their prolonged company, as most of them are shallow, overly fixated on looks and trends and are really touchy … If I were gay (and this thought keeps echoing in my mind for some while now), things would be so much easier.

Do you think discovering imageboards early in life fucks you up?

I already had ADHD symptoms when I was young but I feel like imageboards made them worse with how fast they are, the ability to jump through boards each discussing different topics and the total lack of barriers for making new threads. I got used to making a thread for whatever question or thought I had instead of trying to think a bit for myself first. Also something I thought about is how my PC is full with images from years of imageboards and how that made me a very visual person. I just feel like imageboards molded my brain and behavior and every time I think I can quit them because I am tired of the shallow level of discussion that comes from the fast pace and lack of barriers I somehow end up back and spending my entire day on them even if it makes me regret it at the end of the day.

Waterclock home

I've been having this recurring idea which is a home I want to design around a clepsydra (water clock). A clepsydra is a waterclock used in antiquity to measure time with a volume filling with water at a known rate with something like a buoyant indicator pointing to a watch 'face' which shows where in the day and season you are. It was used up until the 17th century and was accurate to about 1% per year, and could account for the variation in length of day by means of the striped cylinder in the pic attached.

I set some design rules for my imaginary home which I think produce interesting and aesthetic design choices:

>1. No electricity (or minimal)

>2. Minimal moving parts, preferably just one moving part (a helical windmill with gearbox or escapement)
>3. Maximum automation with 'primitive' means
>4. Natural building materials only like clay or cob
>5. Must look cool - I have an aesthetic vision

Basically what I want to make is a large porcelain CPU situated in the middle of the house where water is both the input and output. A large helical windmill will continuously pump water to the top of the waterclock/CPU so that it can continue to function. It would be highly beneficial in my mind if everything could reach a state of homeostasis. That's ultimately what I'm searching for - a home that functions in a manner a body would, but in a way that benefits my body. The home literally becomes an extension of the planet AND myself - linking my needs and the planets will together.

Things I want it to accomplish:

>1. Generation of water by means of atmospheric moisture collection. Total independence of weather. Water generation to exceed evaporation rate

>2. The water can accumulate heat in a separate tank during the day and be pumped at night when the temperature drops.
>3. Saltwater compatible - Using saltwater I could cheat my 'no electricity' rule and perhaps do some electrolysis. Maybe keep saltwater animals/algae.
>4. Have a freshwater aquaculture/aquaponic farm for my (and my plants) nutrient needs. Urea provided by myself and my aquatic friends.
>5. Automatically water my garden at specific date, time, and amount or stop when the water table in a specific plot rises above a certain limit.
>Silly optional feature: Lighting done with bioluminscent algae suspended in saltwater channels routed around ceiling or something.


How:

Hydraulic logic gates - Diodes, NAND gates, amplifiers.

When I think of what I want from this house I want a home where everything can both automatically influence everything else yet have a means to cut itself off from negative feedback loops. This means there are checks and balances in my clepsydra/CPU - has output A exceeded its preset value of 50 litres? Then a 'valve' or channel is shutoff -without moving parts may I remind reader- preserving both my water and plants. To accomplish this I have downloaded a .pdf from the US government in the 1950s which discusses hydraulic logic gates. I have pretty solid designs for water powered NAND gates and anything else you might imagine. In fact soviets had entire industries running off of hydraulic/pressurised air logic and they published all their research - the only problem is a lot of USSR research involves high pressure and I would like mine to operate at ambient pressure and temperature.
This is where I believe my single moving part - the helical windmill - comes into play. My windmill will maintain a constant 'voltage' by topping up the reservoir tank (capacitor) keeping my water clock accurate. I think resistance can be offered up by tanks having a capacity of say 100L and then having a hole which drains it at that level, and should the 'current' (water flow) exceed that then there can be more holes/cuts in the tank to empty more water.



Why:
Why do I want to automate in this manner? I just think its neat. Every night I go to sleep thinking how my house in the middle of the Australian outback or Saharan desert could look like. A tiny self perpetuating oasis sucking moisture from the air and feeding me with fish from my underground aquaponics tank or something. Totally in touch with the planet, not poisoning the soil microbiome with nitrates or anything.


Where:
I want to try it in a desert with low humidity in the air as a total proof of concept that this can be used anywhere and make habitable the worst environments. Also open to not doing this in a desert as the humidity levels could cause too many issues. If you can't see it in a desert what about somewhere else??????????


Problems:
Energy storage - when the wind ain't blowing WTF do I do? How can I keep the clepsydra tank flowing? Perhaps a spring and escapement mechanism to store energy to keep that water flowing?
There is the MAJOR problem that water has different levels of viscosity influenced by temperature. In the case of water, the viscosity varies by a factor of about SEVEN between 0C and 100C. So a water clock operating at 10C will give a reading wildly different from a clock operating at 30C. Do I store the water below ground and try to keep the temperature at some constant?
I literally don't have any programming experience - how could I ever design a CPU with a novel concept to function in a manner that my life depends on?
Algae/biotic films growing inside my CPU causing issues - should I fill it with small crustaceans or snails or something to keep the heartbrain of my home healthy and clear of sclerosis?
The moisture content of most deserts is between 0-10% all the time. This drastically inhibits ability to pull moisture from air unless I use a a battery of say 100x peltier coolers powered by a single windmill to generate ice and drop it into a reservoir.
There is also the problem of some plants/soils releasing far too much moisture to the atmosphere. Building a greenhouse to trap moisture is a deadly mistake I think.
An oasis is not just an oasis for a human, many pests will seek it out and I am personally opposed to unnatural herbicides. How will I manage pests? Is there an opportunity here to fold gardens in around my aquaponics setup so they eat the invading bugs etc etc.


Please be as critical as possible I want to iron out any problems in my mental architecture before I move forward with model designs. I literally don't know WTF I'm doing, I DON'T understand electricity or logic gates etc - I DON'T have experience with this. I just want a self contained home that meets all the needs of a human in a desert and perhaps provides some small comforts as well.

Boomers

I had a thought today about how what the world's most important priorities are in a general sense and first and foremost existential threats. These didn't really exist until recently, the first real existential threat that came into the public consciousness was the threat of global nuclear war. Others like global warming and resource over-exploitation came into the public consciousness later. We mostly seem to have forgotten about the threat of nuclear armageddon as a possibility in this day and age, but it got me thinking about the psychology of the Boomers and how it would have been influenced by growing up in a world where the threat of nuclear annihilation existed. They were in a sense, the first generation that had to grow up with the threat of the entire world just ending one day. They had the duck and cover drills which of course wouldn't save them from the nuclear blast or the fallout.

Many people have, rightfully I think, accused the boomers of being the generation that fucked up the world with short term thinking and greed and selfishness. I wonder if this way of being and thinking was influenced by the thought that the world could end at any time so they should just try and get it while the getting is good and enjoy their lives to the max. They became wholly focused on themselves and the pleasures of capitalist consumer society as a way to stave off the existential dread from this threat constantly hanging over their heads. Now that I hear the term boomer another meaning comes to mind, specifically the boom from a nuclear bomb. I think that must have influenced them somehow and caused them to be as twisted as they are.

It would be incredibly ironic if this were true, because ultimately a nuclear war would not be as bad as the problems that they have created. What do you guys think about this?

Bad luck with technology?

I can't tell if modern technology has just awful quality control or if I'm unlucky or pedantic. Every time I buy something there is like a 80% chance that's something is wrong with it but not in an immediately obvious way.

For example I bought a laptop and the trackpad would be laggy but when I uninstalled the trackpad drivers it would be smooth but lacking multitouch features making me think it's not a hardware issue. Yet re-installing windows didn't fix it. I asked on the internet forums for advice and got ignored despite describing my problem in detail that I thought would give a knowledgeable person hints to what could be the issue. I sent the laptop for repair and got it back unchanged. I was so exhausted by this all that I kept it since I got a deal good enough on it to ignore this issue.

I got a new monitor that got good review scores and it flickers in certain situations.

I got a new GPU and it has crashes and graphic glitches but only in certain games and situations despite normal temps and me trying out all the possible drivers.

Also often when I buy something new it ends up having scratches or dents that are just enough to annoy me but not bad enough to go through the trouble of returning the item leaving me in a state of regret once the warranty runs out and I keep noticing the fault every time.

Also it's depressing how useless customer support is and how useless people on tech issue help forums are with anything but the most simple problems. I would think they would be intrigued by strange tech problems but nope I just get ignored.

It's all so exhausting man. Consoooming should be fun but every time I buy something instead of felling excitement I just feel anxiety when opening the product to a point where I stopped looking carefully for flaws.

The cruelty humans enact on animals

Do you think it is okay to hurt animals? This means for food, sport, pleasure, or otherwise?

I look at the ways society treats animals, and I'm appalled. Mammals with complex social systems are kept in horrific conditions to produce meat, milk, and other animal products. Chicks are put into a blender live for the terrible crime of being the wrong gender.

It is rather appalling that people seem to so easily accept carnism despite the suffering that is behind the production of meat. Sure, animals make each other suffer and they also eat each other. However, unlike them, we have the choice to do differently. Yet so many don't. Eating meat is so, so horrifically cruel.

Practical applications of self-awareness?

I was asked about my talents in a therapy session and being a loser I said "none" and they said everyone has a talent and while I disagree it made me think a bit more about it and pretty much the only thing that stands out is that years of solitude developed my self-awareness.

Also being a loser made me open minded, empathetic and hard to offend. Some people if you say the wrong thing they stop talking to you like you failed the dialogue in a video game.

But so far these "skills" only crippled me. My self-awareness is like bloatware that is wasting my processing power by adding unnecessary thoughts to everything. It's paralyzing me as I try to predict how me and my actions might be perceived instead of just acting.

Empathy I feel like is just counter-productive as it makes it harder to focus on furthering your interests ignoring others.

And my openness leads to me having a complex world view that again feels crippling because simplicity makes acting easier.

So if these things can even be called "skills" is there a practical way to use them?

feelings of anti technology sentiment

technology used to fascinate me so much but now i don't like it anymore. when there is some invention coming i always assume there is such a high chance that this will only be used for evil that i usually just disregard it without giving it it's fair chance of impressing me. there is probably plenty of useful stuff i don't care about simply because i am repelled by how they treat people in technology. like cattle, like children. in my heart i feel more and more like an amish, a more simple person who would prefer to build his own wealth with more simple machinery, without the presence of drones, cameras, credit cards,…

AI has been such a turn off. everytime i hear something about AI, my face cringes as if i bit a lemon. i just dont wanna know what it can do anymore. how shit i imagine the world to be if it is full of this artificial perfectly politically correct computer poop.

I'm sorry but if you believe in any religion with a divinely inspired canon and mythos, you are a retard. It is the easiest thing in the world to debunk the Bible, the Quran, the Bhagavad Gita, the Book of Mormon, Dianetics etc… It wouldn't even surprise me if Dianetics was the most epistemically plausible, despite appearing to be the most fringe and ridiculous, simply because its the most recent one and therefore probably the most informed by current cosmology and science. I have nothing against a belief in God, which is just a philosophical matter, but these books gaslight you into believing things like a flat earth, a worldwide flood, that the moon was cleaved in two and other various bullshit. This is complete normie behavior because the only thing that keeps these beliefs afloat are the social communities that are invested in them and generate entire copeologies (apologetics) to collectively delude themselves that these books are in fact infallible. You're better than this Wizman.

GMO and hybrid humans

Horses have 64 chromosomes and donkeys have 62 chromosomes, together they produce mules with 63 chromosomes. If we were to take a sperm cell or an egg from a person with either XXYY, XXXY, or XXXX syndrome and then taken a sperm cell or egg from a chimpanzee and used in vitro fertilization, would this produce a human-chimpanzee hybrid? Chimpanzees have 48 chromosomes and humans have 46 chromosomes, therefore together they might produce humanzees.

business thread

Thread to talk and discuss business, savings, and forms of investment.

Soon I am going to resell meat, I already did it a couple of times before, but now I am going to go daily. I can bring 200 kilos of meat in my car since it is for "personal consumption", but only if it is frozen. The margin is around 25-50% per sale, since I am buying direct from the producer, in a cattle-raising area, and I sell it in my city that does not produce meat.
I also thought about selling things like pots, or plastic things, but it's really not worth it, because no matter how much I make a product that sells, it's not something for mass consumption, and due to the economic crisis I will gradually lose customers. I also really like decentralization, since I can sell anywhere in my province, I can also sell any product, and I can also change products or buy new products, such as firewood, coal, etc.

But if I realized something, it doesn't matter if you sell meat, vegetables, hardware, dairy, alcohol, soft drinks, or whatever, the majority sales method is the same, you go to the store and offer the merchandise, and The only thing that determines if you are going to buy or not is the price.

I've been digging around the internet archives and looking at TV and ads in the VHS collection going all the way back to the 80s. Things seemed so good then…. can anyone older explain to me in detail what those times between the 90s and early 2000s where like ? the 85-99 period seemed really peaceful considering the type of TV that was on…what happened ?

Achieving focus and mindfulness

A clear, calm mind
Serene
Sharp
Focused
Creative
How do you get there?
Obviously, the ingredients would be:
>Breathing deeply (proper air circulation)
>Letting go of thoughts and feelings, not getting entangled with them
>Accepting pains and annoying things instead of fighting them impotently
>Focusing on the present moment
But how do you get there? Also, are there other things to be aware of? Maybe proper food or avoiding certain things?

Currently I'm trying to restrict my conscious efforts to breathing and to observing. The result is that my body is moving on its own. I'm just observing it do it's thing, and making sure that I breathe properly.

Human Cloning?

Background: A person with more than one set of DNA within their body is called a genetic Chimera. Chimerism is (supposedly) rare, but there have been a handful of cases where someone will even fail a DNA test, because the DNA sample taken from their body differs from the rest of their DNA. For example, a Chimera might take a DNA test, and the results might show that the DNA was from one of his siblings – even if he is an only child.

One potential cause of Chimerism occurs while in the womb. Like when the mother is pregnant with twins, but later one of the twins has seemingly vanished. When this happens, usually it means one of the twins died in the womb, and its remains were absorbed into the surviving baby.
When this occurs, it's possible that the dead twin's DNA might survive within the survivor's body.

So, hypothetically… if the surviving twin managed to retrieve his dead twin's DNA from his own body, could he use that DNA sample to make a clone of his unborn sibling?
Let's assume that in this scenario, cloning is not controversial and is completely legal, acceptable, and safe.

Astral Projection

Do you think that astral projection and the astral plane is real? I have tried astral projecting many times but I couldn't get it work. I got relaxed and everything but it didn't work.
I remember reading this experiment where one friend would astral project and then go to the other room where the other friend is holding fingers. He was supposed to say how many fingers he held up. It never worked. But I remembered reading an old CIA experiment on astral projection or remote viewing and the experiment worked. I also remembered reading that there can be "spiritual danger" to astral projection.

Anyways in this thread discuss any information about astral projection or remove viewing.

Dead Internet Theory = Wrong

I've been thinking of a different version of dead internet theory…the internet is not flooded by bots or Ai, it's actually flooded by millions of low IQ hispanics and pajeets who write bot-like responses. If you go to the most populated spaces of the internet you will see most of the names are either spanish or indian on 3+ yr old videos on YouTube. If you go on Quora you will see most responders are either Hispanic or Indian yet again. A lot of imagieboard responses seem to have some kind of non-english ESL speak mixed with latest memes making it a nightmare to have actual discussions. I've noticed that whites have become a minority in web spaces and replaced by these subhumans with 0 empathy who only use the web to sling insults or one liner platitudes.

If you make a graph of a technology's development over time it usually creates an 's' shaped curve, with development starting slowly, then accelerating, then slowing down again. How far are we on that curve with AI and why do you think that? If we're at the end of the curve, until we have new breakthroughs years or decades from now, everything will use cool chatbots in a few years, but the world won't change much for now. If we're in the middle of the curve the world will change quite a bit this decade and it's hard to imagine how. The last scenario, where we are at the beginning of an exponential transformation that will last decades is terrifying.

Most humans are evil, which causes a conundrum for non-evil humans. I feel bad for a random human who is the victim of bullying, but considering 90% of humans are bullies, there is a 90% chance the victim would bully other humans if given the chance. Stupidity is a cause of evil behavior, which complicates the conundrum. If you can convince a normal-minded human that its ok to inflict suffering on people who don't drink milk, the normal-minded human would do so.
A lot of people may agree with the analogy, until they hear what I believe are real life examples of this analogy. Never have I heard a good reason why having sex with children or animals is immoral, or why someone who does so should suffer. Most normal-minded humans would inflict suffering on someone who has sex with children or animals, because they are evil, and they are evil because they are stupid.
