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.

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.

Pre transition Alex. Wearing a pink button down and ripped jeans. Bearded and unkempt. Smiling but dead behind the eyes.

Girl Alex. Looks more put together wearing black short shorts and black strappy top. Light in the eyes.

This shit is straight up whacky

Medical specialties are named logically

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

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

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
