a $50,000 reward
So the cost of an asprin, a bandaid, and 3 jellybeans in a US hospital?

The Ohio Supreme Court Just Greenlit an Egregious “Fraud Upon the Voters”
FFS. Ohio's officials need to actually face legal consequences for all its gerrmandering and other fuckery.

Is there an evolutionary advantage associated with armpit sweating and stinking?
Just as a reminder, it's also good to ask "is there any big disadvantage?". Sometimes, a thing evolves traits that don't help but don't cause enough harm to stop being passed on.

Should tipping culture be "normalized" in Europe?
Absolutely not. Some groups are trying to do that shit here in Japan so they can stop paying a proper wage and pass off costs to consumers. It's awful.

Okay, who had Trump loyalty pins for Apocalyptic-Bingo this Sunday? Games just getting started, stay tuned!
Everyone spotted wearing these should be noted and never allowed to hold office again (and preferably rot in a prison for life). This is gross.

same as it ever was
I would unironically watch something called 'Ancient Shitposting' that focused on old graffiti and pisstakes. It would still be more relevant to history than most of what is on channels with History in the name these days.

I've spoken to some Fins and it's being that close to another human being causing that.

Someone the other day mentioned semicolons are now a sign of AI. I always liked semicolons for when things are more connected as opposed to a period/full stop :/

White House directs officials to draft proposal to lift US sanctions on Russia
Kick the US out of Nato and any special status in the UN. Sanction the everliving fuck out of everything US. This will destroy the retirement I was at least partially expecting to get, but fuck it.

If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?
If I snapped you back in time 650 years
2025 - 650 =1375
Its the 12th century
1375 is the 14th century. Which do you mean?
Answering the actual question, nothing good would come of it if my location on earth didn't change. Being the only white person in rural northern Japan well before Europeans came in the 1500s would probably not be a good situation for me. The language, at least the written one, was very different. Being the Nanboku-chō era, things would probably be not great since it was in the midst of 60ish years of war with two different people claiming to be in charge. I can't find, at least before my coffee kicks in, exactly what kinda state Mutsu Province, as it was then called, was in at the time.

9mm for those wanting sane units. Edit for clarity: this refers to the fractional inches, not the 4 inch figure which, as another poster points out, is a bit north of 10cm.

I'm in my 40s and I always wonder "am I still young people?" When these articles come up. Middle age and modern society be weird.

What does this mean on Google Maps?
I've seen that same warning for walking. I think it's just Google saying "good luck with that; we're not legally responsible". I think those warnings have shown up more since cars would follow the GPS with zero common sense and drive into a lake or something.

What's an unpopular UI opinion you have?
Colorblind people exist and should be able to use the site. At least, based on my real experience, this must be an unpopular opinion amongst UI folks glares

The person who mounted a spice rack into the fucking studs so a fridge won't fit there
Unscrew it. Throw it away. Keep your spices away from light and air.

Japan as well. One theory is that people realized how much nicer it was to have work-life balance and not be jammed on overcrowded rush hour trains only to be forced back to it
