In case anyone is like “oh interesting, didn’t know that” then keeps scrolling: it’s not true.

Diastatic Malt Powder is magic. I really need to pick some up.

From what I’ve seen it means the game used to be good (or had good potential), then the developers messed things up.

Honestly a great recruiting stunt.

If you want weird, look at the Athanasian Creed. Here’s a snippet:

“… For there is one Person of the Father; another of the Son; and another of the Holy Ghost.But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one; the Glory equal, the Majesty coeternal.Such as the Father is; such is the Son; and such is the Holy Ghost.The Father uncreated; the Son uncreated; and the Holy Ghost uncreated.The Father infinite; the Son infinite; and the Holy Ghost infinite.The Father eternal; the Son eternal; and the Holy Ghost eternal.And yet they are not three eternals; but one eternal.As also there are not three uncreated; nor three infinites, but one uncreated; and one infinite.So likewise the Father…” and it goes on and on and on like this, never actually saying what they are. It’s a headache to get through.

Yeah that’s fair.

I’m also a stranger without a source, but I recall seeing a YouTube video about it years ago, either a news story or documentary. I don’t know if the exact numbers are right but I remember the other details. I’ll have to see if I can find it.

Update: no idea. Can’t find the original video. The one I remember, the guy had been awake the whole time but a nurse had figured out how to communicate with him through eye blinking, he remembers his mom’s senseless comment years previous. OP might be mixing stories. I do vaguely remember ghost boy though.

Sauerkraut! Used to be toilet cheese, now it’s a delicacy that’s earned its place on my sandwiches.

Isn’t NMS already a kind of harvesting and crafting Minecraft simulator in space? Or is it the blocks?

I join when the meeting reminder pops up and I click “join”, right on time. I don’t like small talk, no point in being early.

Sperm confetti.

The general attitude that “British English is correct” and Americans are wrong, is one of the most absurd things I’ve ever experienced. English is inconsistent enough as it is, so don’t claim your inconsistency of spelling and pronunciation is somehow superior. Believe it or not, withing linguistics you don’t make the rules.

Kagi! You can block websites so they don’t show up. It’ll also flag websites that contain a lot of spam or ads.

I’ve had a consistently unbiased experience with Tangle: https://www.readtangle.com/about/

Wellll I don’t entirely agree. Ever been to IKEA and had a cart full of furniture? It takes every bit of strength my strong body can manage to take a turn without sliding out of control sideways and knocking over five display units and three children. The non-turning back wheels make turns more manageable. Carts should work like cars, front wheels turn, back wheels don’t. I submit this comment as sacrifice.

Strictly from a viewer’s perspective, I use a YouTube client alternative (like GrayJay, Freetube, NewPipe) and subscribe only to the channels I want to see content from. Then I can look at video suggestions for given videos to see relevant content. This entirely removes me from the algorithm as well as any personalization that would put me in an echo chamber. I also branch out to reliable and unbiased news sources, better search engine alternatives, and so on.

I’m both surprised and not surprised. Considering I’ve purchased the game three times, maybe I shouldn’t be.
