Something Happened, the other, far lesser-known work by Catch-22 author Joseph Heller. It’s too apples-to-oranges to throw around “better”, but I already love Catch-22 and still prefer Something Happened. It’s considerably longer, but in my opinion, it’s criminally overlooked.

Fair point! I entirely agree with that perspective in other areas. If we’re using this as an example, then I understand why, but I actually think this is one example where the change is a tangibly good thing.

Why did I think the centaur on the left was a man doing unspeakable things to a small elephant

And god knows McDonald’s wouldn’t want to be confused with inferior coffee.

I’m actually going to say that I think designing a restaurant for disastrously unhealthy fast food in a way that makes it look and feel like a playground shouldn’t be legal, and I’m happy to see them look as dull and unappealing as possible to young children.

The ongoing health crisis is so severe in no small part because of things like that 1990s picture getting kids addicted to trash. This post feels like someone from the 1970s yearning for the days of Joe Camel. Plain packaging does work.

Edit: I thought Joe Camel was much older than it really is.

New Deltarune mod idea where Gay Putin, Bald JD Vance, and Xinnie the Pooh replace the main trio, respectively.

Should’ve gone the 4Kids One Piece route and turned it into a lollipop.

Did… Did they censor the cleavage?

Nixon under that, Hoover under that…

This is so true. But your title is fewer than 20 characters. Under Rule 7, Amendment 6 § 38.5(b), you’re hereby banned from every community I moderate.

The original Wired article is a substantially better source than the IBT, which is slop that owns the likes of Newsweek and the Latin Times. On Wikipedia, we avoid citing it wherever possible.

Thanks, OP!

This looks really neat! Are there any updates, given this render was from almost three years ago?

Just bend and glue them to make a toroidal sandwich.

A spherical sandwich would just be a 3-ball of air surrounded by a 2-sphere with the following layers: bread (inner), contents (middle), bread (outer). You could also have a 3-sphere sandwich – homeomorphic to a calzone which has a little 3-ball of bread in its center.

OP, you linked to the comments instead of the top of the article. 💀

This isn’t true per the original journal article this fact comes from. Specifically, it leads three obstetric causes: “hypertensive disorders, haemorrhage, or sepsis”. It is a leading cause, not the leading cause. The idea that homicide would be the leading cause of overall death in this demographic would be nonsensical, given just accidents alone account for nearly 50% of deaths in this overall age demographic, with homicide in third place – typically just trailing suicide.

This is a horrific, systemic problem that we don’t have to lie about to spread awareness.

I’m not agreeing with their dumb point, but just pointing out: this satellite works on radar. I’m genuinely concerned how many people seem to be commenting without reading the article.

I don’t know why you’re assuming their ‘/s’ is alluding to sarcasm around this being surveillance versus sarcasm around needing more surveillance. “We need more surveillance (we actually don’t)” seems to be indicated here, not “This is surveillance (it actually isn’t)”.

Especially when Reddit types are notoriously, chronically unable to read articles before they go spouting uninformed bullshit in the comments.

Did you read the part where this is a radar satellite designed for monitoring the climate? That is, did you read anything besides the headline before you decided: “Yeah, I think I’m able to make informed commentary about this”?
