Thank you for sharing this. I was enthralled from start to finish.

So... something weird happened with my phone, and I thought I clicked a link for electricity solving a maze and got this instead and it was... a uniquely confusing experience.

But also weirdly nostalgic for back when confusing things happened on the internet all the time so... thanks?

Probably because of the terrible British accents. Have fun! There's a couple lines in it I still quote.

Season 6, Episode 23. "All the President's Heads."

Beware. There are some truly heinous British accents.

In the Futurama universe, they claim powdered crystalline opal is used to keep the heads alive in their jars.

Coffee is remarkable for the digestive system.

This is my take.

My boyfriend isn't terminally online so I often tell him things like this, in an impartial way.

"The internet is mad because some women have been saying they would rather be alone in a forest with a bear than with a strange man."

Him: "Why is this a question? People are always the objectively worse answer."

"Well... some people are pointing out that the type of bear is important-"

Him: "I would rather risk being mauled by a bear than have to deal with a stranger. Why is this controversial? I thought people on the internet hated people?"

Just to add support to your point, it's literally in The Official Stardew Valley Cookbook that the inspiration comes from Harvest Moon. He's not at all claiming to have invented anything. ConcernedApe is a humble treasure.

(I just finished reading the cookbook is why I pulled that information from there. I'm sure there's lots of other places where he said that.)

Slashdot was founded 26 years ago. I'm almost 40, so when I say this, I mean it-

Don't condescend to young people about being children. You're just old now. Embrace it. Explain things nicely or be one of those old people we hated when we were young.

I wanna say "tornado drill," but the b&w says... Atom bomb.

Shit. We have nerdy interests but most of us are pretty needy so I'll allow it.

I love calling my friends "nerd." We have very needy interests.

Also I've now been singing "Let it Ben't."

This is my new favorite sentence and now I will find a way to say it out loud.

If anything I think our societal problem is that everyone remembers what happened to Robespierre.

I can't do my own calculations. I'm just abysmal at math. I look up other people's spreadsheets on crops and wines and whatnot and leave creating the spreadsheet to the professionals.

People who have survived things like a stroke might have trouble swallowing liquids without choking, so you have to thicken them.

ETA; I think memory care patients go that way towards the end, too, like Alzheimer's.

I was caring for someone on a thickened liquids restriction and it is... awful. So many great things are made not great by thickening.

This article is hilarious and I'm already a gym bunny but the idea that I could snap one off is awakening something weird in me.

I dunno what to tell you. It's been a thing since I worked a retail job as a kid and was warned to advise management if someone was buying "a lot" of cat food and seemed poorer than average. Found an article. It's one of those things where there were PDAs about it in the 80s, there's articles of it happening during the pandemic, but I'm not finding any scholarly articles.

Probably hard to get someone to admit to.
