I had to check, but the real thing is the Dairy Council and this is a parody account. Obviously it's way more interesting than the real @dairyuk account.

I hate using mobile to read articles
Obligatory mention that Firefox Mobile supports plugins like uBlock Origin. You don't have to suffer this rubbish!

Are they allowed to put jokes in legal documents like this? (I know it's gone now)

In a similar vein, alt-text your image posts here!
That's amazing. I'd love to hear from one of the audience about how they found the experience.

Trains are chill
Slapping palms as a form of greeting a friend and then holding their hand as you pull your fingers back until it makes a snapping sound.
Thank you, Urban Dictionary!

I'm surprised that this is a genuine answer, I was expecting something else with a product name like that.

They don't want you to know
The author's unique approach to capitalisation and spacing really makes this.

4 out of 4, which seems a slightly unintuitive scale
Finally, there’s a level 4 sting, which is as bad as it can get. Schmidt knows of only three critters capable of inflicting level-4 suffering: the warrior wasp (Synoeca septentrionalis), a two-and-a-half-inch-long black bug found in the tropics; the bullet ant (Paraponera clavata), also tropical; and the tarantula hawk (genus Pepsis), two inches long, which Schmidt can find in his yard in Tucson.
btw, this image is a legit snippet from the wikipedia page Schmidt sting pain index although it doesn't make clear that Schmidt didn't get stung on purpose for science.

Belgian's Epstein, Alleged Gov't Coverup, Even The Prosecutor Committed "Suicide"
So intense was the public’s reaction that more than one-third of Belgians with the surname Dutroux changed their names.
Wow.

If I'm remembering it right, the Entwives preferred to garden, whereas the Ents preferred thing wild and untamed* so they both lived in different parts and visited each other. Then one day then Ents visited to find only barren lands where the gardens had been. The Ents searched but never found out what happened.
* which would make the Entwives more authoritarian, right?

How do you feel about pizza?
It's great hot, and it's great cold. What's not to love? It's quite cheap to make, although not so cheap to have delivered, and it's one of those meals you can make that uses up leftovers well.
People who reheat pizza in a microwave will be first against the wall when I am king.

Thank you for fixing a critical flaw in the original RFC.
What did you think about the Save 418 Movement? Were you involved in it in any way?

You're claiming that Generative AI isn't AI? Weird claim. It's not AGI, but it's definitely under the umbrella of the term "AI", and at the more advanced end (compared to e.g. video game AI).

Inside Israel’s torture camp for Gaza detainees
According to testimonies, the soldiers ordered all the men to undress, gathered them in one place, and took the photos that were later disseminated on social media (senior Israeli officials have since chided the soldiers for sharing the images).
It's very telling that the officials only have a problem with the evidence of their war crimes.

This one's obviously fake because of the capitalisation errors and .. but the fact that it's otherwise (kinda) plausible shows how useless AI is turning out to be.

Americans visited the UK during WW2's rationing and never updated their stereotypes.
