  • Quick experiment I did using a polarised camera lens filter: looking at a CRT screen and an LCD screen and proving that the light from a LCD screen is polarised (which is a side-effect of the way that they work).

  • HMF episodes of outTHERE (2001-2003), because it seems to have vanished from the planet.




    Back in the early 2000s when I was suffering from insomnia I used to sit up and watch all kinds of trashy late-night TV on the UK's (then new) Channel 5. There was one show that I got hooked on and tuned in to religiously, simply because its presentation was so bizarre. That show โ€ฆ

    Too Many Cards

    This week, Dan performed a magic trick (via webcam) for some friends in an exclusive part of Reddit. And then he thought he should share it with you, too.

  • Would you like to see automatic (and private) graphs of where, what, and who you gild? I was feeling guilty that I haven't made you an MMM icon yet, so I made you a tool to graph-your-gilding!

    [Yet More Graphs!] Where, what, and whom do you gild?




    They said it couldn't be done! And, technically-speaking, they were right. But I've come up with a way for you to generate your personal gilding history graphs. By which I mean, things like this pie chart showing which subreddits I gild in the most.

    Follow the instructions in this post, and you too can have โ€ฆ

  • Gilded ents who should be considered for admission...




    Hi! I'm /u/avapoet, and if you know about me already it's probably because you're using MegaMegaMonitor, a browser plugin that enables you to, among other things, spot other gilded ents elsewhere on Reddit by the "universal flair" gold cannabis leaf they carry (note that only gilded ents get to see other gilded ents: no โ€ฆ

  • TIL that early in the second world war, Churchill (anticipating trench warfare stalemates as in the first world war) commissioned the invention of a "mole" machine that could dig new trenches to take itself and a convoy of tanks deep into the enemy lines.

  • Are you running v98? Can you help me with an experiment?




    Hi! It's me, /u/avapoet. You might remember me from such MegaMegaMonitor releases as v95 and v92. Also, this post right here.

    Anyway: v98 contains the first third of an experimental new feature that I haven't decided whether or not to implement the second half of, yet. This post is a proof-of-concept of the first half โ€ฆ

  • MegaMegaMonitor now supports DecadeClub




    If you already use /r/MegaMegaMonitor, great! Now it supports /r/DecadeClub, too. If you don't then, well: maybe you should!

    As a DecadeClub member, what MegaMegaMonitor enables you to do is to see a piece of DecadeClub "flair" next to other DecadeClub members, anywhere on Reddit. If you're in certain other private subs (e.g. /r/gildeddrunk, /r/MagicSecrets, โ€ฆ
