The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down.
Flushing with the lid up is gross. I do not want to have poo particles flying around and landing on my toothbrush. But maybe that is just me... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Israel accuses Mamdani of antisemitism on first day as New York mayor
Repeat after me: being anti-Israel (government) is not being anti-Semitic. Being anti-Hamas is not being Islamophobic. When you are against assholes and warcrimes you are anti-asshole and anti-warcriminal.

(cant find the aita community) am i a bad person for saying "women" instead of "people who can get pregnant"?
Meh. The context of the conversation is abortion so you are defining women in the context as those that have a uterus.
The problem is that sex and gender are differently defined but the words are shared. The response to anyone raising facetious arguments is simply "I am talking about sex while you are unhelpfully discussing gender - stop being an ass"

Fair enough. But if any poo particles are getting on my toothbrush when the lid is down, more will be getting on when the lid is open. Besides, I also keep the toothbrush in a cabinet so double protection.

New York teachers stunned to learn some students can’t read time on old clocks after phone ban comes into play

Exactly my thought. Not only are you getting the opportunity to teach a skill that had not previously been taught, but you are also able to help kids better understand the concept of time and why we use certain words to define time. Win win.

CIA assesses Ukraine was not targeting a Putin residence in drone attack, contrary to Kremlin claim, sources say
It would be entirely acceptable that the country that a war criminal invaded targets said war criminal. But why would the rest of the world listen to the war criminal's lies regardless?
I guess war criminals stick together.

Our theory of time (more specifically spacetime) is incomplete. Some theory's suggest it is a continuum while others suggest it is quantised. But as this discrepancy applies only at the Planck scale it is somewhat moot to how we experience time: our experience of time is linear and continuous. However clock is necessarily quantised but that is simply because it measures the passage of time in discrete steps. A clock is not time itself.
