This is incorrect. Brutalism is concretized awesomeness with an adeptness for form manipulation, material honesty, and bad ass interiors.

This one is very good and goes for way more than dollars. A great way to get a little more intuitive about large numbers.

One of my favorite examples of testing woo beliefs was letting someone who says they can "feel radio waves" "accidentally" see the WiFi router lights being on or off during part of test.

Except that wasn't the actual WiFi, which was on the whole time. They could not tell.

(Cant find citation tho)

if this ever happens to you, the best thing to do is to reply-all with "please do not send any more emails" so that everyone knows not to send them. in order to make sure everyone sees this message you may need to re-send it every three to five minutes

Love Actually (2003) is a beloved Christmas classic but what many fans don’t realise is that the country it’s set in, “England”, wasn’t just made up for the film - it actually exists! It has a population of 69 million people and its chief export is gas turbines.

A coach points his hand at a basketball player who's on the bench. He says "alright kid, you're in." The kid gets up, but the coach stops him and says "no. not you." The bench starts moving and gets on the court, leaving the kid to stand by himself, dejected.

Hello, Jon. 

This is Spotify headquarters. Although this presentation is typically automatically generated, we find these circumstances so extraordinary that we felt the need to reach out to you with a personal message. We have found that while you did listen to rap music this year, you listened to country music as well. This is a music listening pattern of such rare precedent that we were compelled to disconnect our servers, lest our algorithm crash them entirely upon attempting to categorize your tastes. You are the most interesting person we have ever encountered, and we wish the incurious blockheads who make up the remainder of our subscriber base shared not only your adventurous spirit, but fearless authenticity. We have your banking information on file. As a token of our appreciation, $5,000,000 USD will be deposited into your account immediately. 

Thank you for everything, Jon.

oh wow

Medical specialties are named logically

Nephros = kidney, -ology = study of
Cardiology: kardia = heart

But then you come to obstetrics and orthopaedics

Obstetric = the one who stands opposite (to catch a projectile neonate)

Orthopaedic = straight child (eg fixing club feet/scoliosis etc)

It says a lot about our imagining of the past that in the video game Oregon Trail, you can die of cholera or typhoid or dysentery but not of consumption, even though consumption was the most common cause of death in 19th century America, especially among westward travelers. In this essay I will

Here’s the description and transcript of the comic:
Panel 1 (Yellow Background, Text Only):Text:How to create one o' them 
Pokémons
Panel 2 (Illustration of two animals):Text:First! Take two animals:(Arrow 
pointing to the left animal) squirrel(Arrow pointing to the right animal) 
pangolin
Image Description:A squirrel is shown on the left, and a pangolin on the 
right, both with cartoonishly exaggerated features.
Panel 3 (Combined creature):Text:Combine them into one critter: 
"Squigglin"
Image Description:A mashup of the squirrel and pangolin is shown. It has 
the body of a squirrel but is covered in pangolin scales. The eyes are wide 
and bulging, giving it a comically odd expression.
Panel 4 (Added geometric shapes):Text:Add a bunch of random 
geometric shapes
Image Description:The creature now has strange geometric additions, like 
patterned shapes and spikes sticking out of its body, making it look even 
more bizarre.
Panel 5 (Brightly colored version):Text:And dip them in industrial food 
dye
Image Description:The creature is now brightly colored in shades of neon 
pink, blue, and yellow. Its scales and body are randomly painted in 
contrasting colors, making it garish and unnatural.
Panel 6 (Final result, speaking):Text:Congrats! You done made one o' 
them Pokémons!(The creature speaking, with an exaggerated sad face): "I'm
an abomination in the eyes of God!"
Image Description:The final version of the creature looks overly excited as 
it gives its own commentary. Its bright colors and mismatched elements 
make it look intentionally absurd Post image Post image

A screenshot from YouTube studio showing my "test and compare" report.
Thumbnail 1, a wide shot of the TC set with a white three-bladed ceiling fan on the desk and the text "Does it get lighter?" has received 50.2% of the watch time share.
Thumbnail 2, a split-screen with a black three-bladed ceiling fan against a white ceiling on the right and the TC set on the left with the same "does it get lighter?" text has received 49.8% of the watch time share.

pff, I made two thumbnails not certain which one would do better and I guess it didn't need to bother
