Possibly some variant of this.

Thank you, Daniel Ek

Related: a guy in Poland posted online about buying supermarket donuts to use as fuel in a wood-burning stove. The donuts turned out an order of magnitude cheaper than firewood.

Perhaps the paper was written by the Russian scientist who always included his cat as a co-author

Don’t call it that to any British people, though, as to them, “dogging” has a very different meaning.

He died doing what he loved

Now watch all the tankies praise him as a honorary socialist

That’s what happens when you don’t vet whom you give the time machine to

And then there’s Orban trailing in the polls, and Putin with an incentive to help him out. It’s possible that we’ll see a false-flag attack on Hungary from Ukrainian territory, launched by Russian forces using captured Ukrainian equipment, shortly before the Hungarian election.

Hard techno must be the pop-punk of dance music

It’s weird how everyone has his number, even if their reasoning was off. The Slashdot penguinheads thought he a literal Sith lord, the Q-nuts thought he, Soros and Fauci were running 5G vaccine chip biolabs, and now it turns out he was an Epstein Island frequent flyer.

Schooling in which you learn to do arithmetic, write reports, research and collaborate on projects will be replaced with reverse-centaur training, in which you are trained to respond to headset commands more quickly, preparing you to join the only remaining part of the workforce

or, “hHhHhHhH”, as in “I’m laughing so hard I’m hitting caps lock instead of A”

There’s one thing he can never have, which is enough

I bet their sunflowers are doing well

or “in your pants”, or “prison-style”

Iceland has something similar: instead of politicians or illustrious people, their coins feature fish.

Unless you go for Cartesian dualist theories about immaterial souls, consciousness of the sort we experience is an artefact of the structure of our brains and nervous systems, which are large in scale and complex. A small blob of human-derived brain tissue is not going to have consciousness, let alone self-awareness and a sense of horror at its predicament, any more than a 555 timer is capable of playing DOOM by virtue of being made of silicon.

So while the world was worrying about the Red Chinese monopolising the rare-earths, a Japanese ramen company and a Japanese toilet manufacturer have quietly established a grip on chipmaking materials?

Well, a man who scanned the periphery would come across as shifty (“what’s he looking for? is he some kind of voyeur or predator? he’s not staring at that girl’s tits, is he, the creep?”), so looking straight ahead is kind of like keeping one’s hands where everyone can see them. Though granted the absence of likely threats would also have an influence.
