i bought the new Lego Tower of Babel set but the instructions stop making sense about halfway through the little booklet thingy.

The 'ingredients you can pronounce means it's healthy' line implies a world in which the kind of nutrition a person requires scales with their biology education and grasp of phonics. Which isn't true, of course, but sure would imply some interesting worldbuilding if it were

pop health science is so annoying bc it'll be like "did you know? eating strawberries will give you mega cancer" and you're like pfft whatever begone influencer. but sometimes then you'll see a reasonably credible article like "Study Shows Possible Link Between Strawberries and Mega Cancer" and you're not usually the type to follow that kind of thing religiously but idk maybe you should consider not eating strawberries? but then there's another article saying "Strawberry/Mega Cancer Study Debunked" and it turns out the original study had a sample size of 3 and was funded by Big Blueberry, and strawberries may have a small connection to mega cancer but only if you are genetically predisposed to mega cancer and eat 50 strawberries every day. so you return to your strawberry eating life. but whenever you eat strawberries in public someone tells you about the mega cancer.

To turn off this feature in Discord, go to the Settings Menu, then select Advanced Setttings, then My Entrails, where you can adjust the Gnaw setting to your personal preference.

they will reset this value to 100 every single time discord updates, just so you know

So no one told you life was gonna be this way *Phantom of the Opera overture*

Oh interwebs. I have to at least respect the silliness factor

Watching ocean documentaries for comfort is so dangerous because one moment they'll be showing you a cool fish (👍) and the next they'll be telling you about how humans have killed the fish's entire family (👎)

Me, high as fuck, more anxious than before: "I have to save them"
