In a parallel universe, someone is memeing about how teachers waste our time on useless stuff and never taught us to convert between units.

If 14 year old me had heard I would buy a top-tier computer only to underclock it, he would have cried.

But here we are.

I’m afraid that is going to be the case anywhere there is moderation… even here.

People need to understand that in a democracy, winning the plurality of the votes is not the same as winning the election. If no-one will work with him, he will not be in government.

My favourite is the belief that goose-necked barnacles grew into geese.

The idea was started by the Norman scholar Giraldus Cambrensis in the 12th century when he visited Ireland, and was very popular because it meant that the monks who were required to fast and eat only fish during Lent could eat geese. Technically if they lived part of their life underwater, they must be fish.

I’m happy to eat bugs. Lobsters are basically bugs.

Don’t conflate the ecologically sustainable practice of bug-eating with American fascist secret service bullshit.
