What's a low effort, but impressive, party trick to learn?
Angry elephant. Remove your glass eye, insert it into your foreskin and flop it around while yelling "brrraaaah!"
Most impressive party trick I've ever seen.

Outrage as DeSantis Staffer 'Retweets' Nazi Symbol Video: 'Disgusting'
"Newsweek has not been able to verify if it had been shared, or the account from which the clip was retweeted from. '
So... They just published this article without confirming that it even happened? I'm not doubting that it did because it seems pretty on brand but you would think a major news outlet would make sure before they publish an article stating it did.

I don't think it's the yo mama part they're downvoting. It's the part about fat ugly bitches.

What movies, books or tv shows are meant to spoof/parody a particular genre while actually being a great example of the genre?
Pretty much every Mel Brooks movie

After 9 months, the New Orleans Police Department’s use of facial recognition has resulted in zero arrests and multiple false positives
Tbf, NOPD don't arrest many people anyway. There's a massive cop shortage, only 944 officers for a city of 364,000 with skyrocketing crime rates. Moreover, they've been operating under a consent decree by the DOJ since 2012. They're overworked, underpaid and under the thumb of the feds so in response they simply don't do shit.

The "british" accent as we think of it has evolved greatly since the colonial era. I'm not a linguist but I'd suggest the similarities you hear between Kiwi and American accents are things that were ubiquitous at one time then other English speakers lost them along way.

When you’re sick, you just want to sleep it off
If you ever visit New Orleans be sure to tour the pharmacy museum. Located in an actual former pharmacy in the French Quarter, it is filled with examples of this sort of thing along with arcane medical tools that look like something from Dead Ringers. It gives some really great insight into the state of medicine at the time as well as the exploitation perpetrated by quacks.

Every generation has some product/ingredient that they didn’t know was dangerous at the time: tobacco, lead, asbestos, etc. What is that item for this generation?

NOPD's stated goal is 1600, a ratio of 1:227 persons.
The actual ratio is 1:385
Cleveland, similar in size to New Orleans, has a ratio 1:310. They also state that they are suffering from a serious police shortage.
By comparison:
NYC has a ratio of 1:166
Chicago 1:180
