I don't know if i should be embarrassed for not knowing what is a fruit and what is a vegetable.

1. Tomato. Biologically a fruit, culinarily widely used as a vegetable. 2. Carrot (whole plant shown). The top is just edible leaves, that is the most definite vegetable. The root is considered a root vegetable and is used as a vegetable. 3. Red onions, one of them is sprouted. All parts are edible (to humans, they are toxic to many other species including dogs and cats). Same situation as with the carrot. 4. Banana…

Mr. Potato Head is also made from plastic which recently switched to fully plant-based materials

I wonder if that's also part of the joke? but I think it's sugarcane, not corn, so probably not.

This is awesome. I had fun on playing click game on my 85" TV with my wife and it getting progressively more absurd and in my face. What a talented artist!

It's fascinating how we're constantly reminded we're not robots, yet our lives are increasingly automated.

I finished it. Had to cheat on the chess one cuz I can't play chess. Got lucky and guessed the right ESB floor.

The amount of work that Neal clearly puts into these is incredible. Does he earn money from them?

Seem to be stuck on level 19 (In the Dark), so of course I went to the webdev console for hints where I saw that it was blocked loading Google Ads by my adblocker. I apologize to the author for blocking ads. It's a legitimately creative and very well executed site.

You can reset to get an easier puzzle.

I gave up at "Mark all squares of the 64th floor of the Empire State Building"[1]. I had even spent an hour on the chess challenge, but that one looked tasteless if I wasn't missing a trick. I thought that I was supposed to try all the floors close to 64 (considering the topmost one below the tower was 86). I really didn't have the patience for that, especially the possibility of missing to mark an overflowing pixel…

I found a diagram that listed the 71st floor. I went down a bit and bruteforced a search.

If we were a synth like in Fallout would we know? Have you ever cut open your gut and checked?

It was pretty hard to do on mobile

I'm on mobile, and I think this is where I'm gonna stop.

It's the last one, you can do it!
