I dare you to take it further.

So many questions.

What the fuck is that?!

Why is it called a ‘duck’?

What did it feel like? Miniature sandworm-looking mofo.

Afganistan said no when the US wanted Bin Laden. Two and a half trillion dollars later the exact same people are back in charge and now they’re armed with modern American weapons instead of vintage Soviet ones. Everyone lost except the people who said no to the US.

All of them!

I can independently wiggle the toe between the pinky toe and the middle toe on my right foot.

There’s good content to be found on Reddit, but most of Reddit is not good content. It’s like wading through a chest-high river of sewage to smell a rose.

And Lemmy’s not trying to sell me something every 30 seconds.

What sort of mushroom dishes?

Curry. I love curry. Check out this youtube clip for a recipe from Jaime Oliver, which is delicious but also keeps it very simple: Corner Shop Curry

(He says to grate the onion, but I find that just chopping it is fine. And I use powdered ginger because I never seem to have the fresh stuff on hand.)

The guy fitting the shoe has a big smile, and it’s not his customer service face.

Is it a council-permitted hole?

You generously teach a man to fish against his will, and what kind of thanks do you get?

It’s been decades and this guy is still finding fresh new ways to use that template. I’m mildly amazed.

I don’t know what the US congress is any more, but in other countries it’s because they really really want to expel someone and the deportee’s home country might say “no thanks, they’re your problem”.

On World Book Day you want to remind us about a TV show? Which is not actually about books?

Why not tell us, if you know?

Followed by “but I don’t like to complain”.

I don’t know why anyone would prefer that.

What’s this, an attempt to kick an addiction?

I’ve never heard of an extension like that.

Memory training tools. Like the memory palace, the person-action-object method, acronyms and mnemonics.

Visualisations like using the abacus method to do fast and accurate arithmetic.

And human-executable techniques like the doomsday algorithm and George Marsaglia’s random number generator.
