Well, you can have a funnel cloud, but it's not a tornado until the condensation funnel touches the ground, and it's not always clear what the case is until proper surveying is done.
Indie studios do in fact exist. I haven't bought a game from a major publisher since... uhh... well, I guess I bought Portal for $1 last year, does Valve still count as a major publisher?
As a former 4-Her myself, the 4-H extension office in our region is run by a state university, but the clubs themselves are community-organized. Also, many clubs in our area were general, so you could do any topic covered by the extension office and be a part of the club.
Bricklink is a site for individuals/small business to buy and sell primarily individual Lego pieces, so it's important for shipping calculations to have reasonably accurate weights of all the pieces. Their weights are therefore contributed by those sellers. Although now that LEGO Group owns Bricklink, you'd think they could just slide them the numbers.
The part pictured here seems to be 3069px7 with the base color incorrectly set to white. In any case, it's 3069, the standard 1x2 tile. Thanks to the folks at LDraw who have modeled every Lego brick in detail (because of course people have done that), we get a volume of 303.8mm³, with a bounding box size of 409.6mm³, for a density of about 74%. But, Bricklink can just directly tell us the mass of a 1x2 tile is 0.26g, so the total mass is 10.5 metric tons.
From some searching around, it looks like the hole tilts as you stand on it. It doesn't look dramatic but it could definitely induce falls in people who are prone to such.
I thought, "1.4 billion pounds of cheese can't be a real number, right?" Turns out, it kinda is. 1.4 billion pounds (actually generally 1.45-1.5 billion) is the amount of cheese the USDA stores in cold storage warehouses across the US. And indeed, much of that seems to be in caves in Missouri. But any particular cave probably only stores a few million pounds, although getting specific numbers is rather difficult.
I'm not really convinced. I haven't seen anything outside the capabilities of a talented individual, and such an exploit would be worth a lot of money, so the motivation is there.
On the other hand, spontaneous generation was very much still a thing at this point, so a lot of the basic rules of the world around us were really not worked out yet
The difficulty of sending patches or reporting issues to the Linux kernel is a feature for them, as it keeps less-experienced devs from wasting maintainer's time with garbage requests. For most projects it's a bug.
Then why are 2012 and 2016 included? It's extremely confusing to have a line graph over time where intervals of time are missing, even if you clearly call attention to it, which they don't here.
