History
The problem with knowing any amount of history is that any time anything happens you're just like:
'Oh. This again'.
It's somehow both tedious and horrifying.

Are those silver dollar pancakes or pounds sterling?
It's meaningless from the other perspective too - cup size isn't a static volume measurement, it's relative to the band size. A 32DD, a 34D and a 36C are all the same cup volume.

She was already learning that if you ignore the rules people will, half the time, quietly rewrite them so that they don't apply to you.

Linux is the reason Windows apps are bloated these days

Fairly large chunks of Windows code are examples of the latter, in fact.

I remember reading an article in the early 90s where they opined that 'the thing that would really date TNG was the presence of a therapist on the ship'.
Mental health - a total 80s fad, right?

I used to follow a guy on Tumblr who ended up watching a lot of daytime TV while recuperating from surgery.
He came to the conclusion that wrestling was essentially a soap opera designed to be socially acceptable for men to watch.

In Evil Dead (2013), Eric finds a book bound in human skin, wrapped in barbed wire, with "Leave This Book Alone" scribbled on it. He then cuts the barbed wire, reveals the hidden text and read it al…
Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

What's the longest you've ever had to wait in line to vote? Where in the world?
England - never been a line. The only thing I've ever had to wait for is for the bod manning the polling station to find my name on the list and hand me a voting slip. In and out in a couple of minutes.

Clearly they used methane.
Crowds of farm labourers during flood season, all lined up just waiting for their turn to fart into the balloon.

Orc: "I caught an owl. There’s going to be dinner tonight."
Pretty sure he's going to be disappointed:
For what you may not know is that Charles Darwin had a huge interest in food, and during his time in Cambridge he was the President of the infamous Glutton Club.
The main objective of the club was to seek and eat ‘strange flesh’ and chow down upon the rarest ‘birds and beasts which were before unknown to human palate’.
The club met weekly and was a roaring success. They ate such beautiful birds as the bittern and hawk.
The club eventually came to an abrupt end when a tawny owl was served up.
The meat was disgusting and stringy and was described as, er, “indescribable”.

For one thing, I'm guessing they knew that the Great Pyramid isn't a prison for a giant octopus.
I had a hunch that the original image would be Nyarlathotep related, aaaand:
I think someone's been feeding them Call of Cthulhu game module plots. I hope they do Beyond The Mountains of Madness next.

Any day now, Elon will announce that the real reason they need Greenland Ultima Thule is so he can perform a ritual to awaken Azathoth and end the simulation.

Good call - not sure you can tag images in comments as NSFW (to get the auto-blur), but I've hidden it in spoiler tags.
