Yeah. Way worse that the cup thing or the Japanese eel stuff or the others. That crap still haunts me

But you just told the computer to ignore case...

So, basically the start of The Swarm? Great.

Wait, in the last thread it was a bank

Maybe. We had one of that too, but didn't use it too much either

But... Isn't that standard equipment in every household?

The AdBlock arms race is still going on - would have been more precise

It's worse than that. Authors actually pay (up to several thousand dollars) to publish, the editors who find referees are doing this as a side job, so probably they're not exactly overpaid either. Finally you have the anonymous referee, who not only doesn't get paid, but they get literally zero recognition. Also, papers aren't printed in journals any more, they are online only, so there's no printing fee either, there's only just server hosting costs, paying some people for language editing and final typesetting (in many fields authors must submit LaTeX manuscripts, basically ready for publishing). And profit of course.

I don't think you can make up these kind of things

I think this was it https://reddit.com/r/confessions/s/cJFm6eRXMi (it's not for a weak heart)

The guy with the scat fetish that disappeared the moment his wish started to come true

There's a hedgehog in the garden. BUT IT'S NOT THEIR ONE!

Thanks, that somehow never got in the news here

Did I miss something from the news? Why is a field hospital needed in Libya?

I know only one case where this shrinkflation thing was stopped - one beer company decided to sell 0.4l cans, because "that's what the customers want". It turned out pretty fast that wasn't what their customers wanted :)

I think I'll stick to 'fresh' or 'sourdough' as alternatives from now on

While that's true, we still have for example safe air travel, although I'm pretty sure companies would be happy to ship their passengers minced to maximize their profit.

Also, thorium reactors would be a great step forward, unfortunately its byproducts can't be used for nuclear weapons, so their development was pretty slowed down.

My best guess is hemorrhoid followup - what would you do, ask your neighbor to look and comment on your butt?

My wife loves that show, I was never able to fathom why it is so interesting to watch people being frustrated in you free time. Cooking should be so about fun and love, don't shout with my food, please.

Not all, they were kicked out from Hungary - although that was less a victory of workers' rights rather than that of the taxi driver union.
