The blurb is still accurate – the homepage has no weather, no news, no sponsored links, etc. Google the company does advertising, but the search engine page itself is still really minimalist. I think a lot of people forget (or never knew) how incredibly cluttered and ugly search engines used to be:

What is this criticizing, exactly? The Google homepage is still incredibly spare.

Yeah, this post shows a tragic lack of familiarity with the concept of zoomies.

Beyond parody (for nearly a decade at this point).

They should try to be funny/creative/clever, for one thing, and either using an existing format or creating a new one. This is literally just pictures and direct quotes from the Founders. Like the sidebar here says, “Random pictures do not qualify as memes.”

This is not a meme.

It’s literally the name of the bill.

Apparently in many developing world cities with shaky property records it’s known for fraudsters to make fake real estate deals using buildings they don’t own, to the point that in Google Street View it’s common to see “this property is not for sale” or similar painted on house walls near the entrance. I’ve never seen it on a building this large though!

Fun fact: In French, ChatGPT sounds like chat, j’ai pété (“cat, I farted”)

I wonder if this would include on-screen notifications.

This isn’t even Facebook-meme tier, it’s email-forward-from-90s-AOL-account tier. C’mon.

I love when mine acts like this, only to walk back up, roll over, and meow for more. If you didn’t want to be snuggled, you would run away! I can see through your lies, cat.

Border disputes (mainly Kashmir) worsened by the friction between a Muslim-majority Pakistan and a Hindu-majority India when both are led by increasingly nationalist governments, basically.

To calculate reciprocal tariffs, import and export data from the U.S. Census Bureau for 2024. Parameter values for ε and φ were selected. The price elasticity of import demand, ε, was set at 4.

Recent evidence suggests the elasticity is near 2 in the long run (Boehm et al., 2023), but estimates of the elasticity vary. To be conservative, studies that find higher elasticities near 3-4 (e.g., Broda and Weinstein 2006; Simonovska and Waugh 2014; Soderbery 2018) were drawn on. The elasticity of import prices with respect to tariffs, φ, is 0.25. The recent experience with U.S. tariffs on China has demonstrated that tariff passthrough to retail prices was low (Cavallo et al, 2021).

Drone warfare is politically agnostic. If it can be used by a Luigi against a healthcare CEO, it can be used by far-right extremists against progressive politicians, pride parades, or Black churches. I’m not very jazzed to live in the world of Slaughterbots.

Might be your settings. When I flip the front page to “Active” most of the posts have hundreds of comments (though I prefer setting it to “Top Six Hours”).

Potential legal problems for Goldberg if he continues eavesdropping after realizing the chat is real.

To be fair, that’s all they have to go on. If a picture’s worth a thousand words, how many pages is a lifetime (or even a childhood) of sight and sound?
