I'm going to go brutally murder and deep-fry my dog just to cancel out whatever grass you ate today, you extremist vegoon! something something lions something desert island grumble grumble muh canines

Hope that serves as a warning the next time you feel like expressing an opinion that differs from mine being preachy.

A friend brought up Greenland nuking somebody as a joke. And I imagined how disproportionate a retaliatory strike could be, quickly remembering though that the current population is less than 60,000 and that I'm almost certain I've seen figures of more than 60,000 nukes during the Cold War, so I imagined a retaliatory strike where literally every person in Greenland had a personalized nuke.

The research was done make sure I wasn't misremembering, that Greenland didn't at any point exceed 60,000 (thus necessitating a closer comparison), and that I'm not Senator Armstrong-ing this.

Okay, but the ruling is totally sensible inasmuch as it applies to "purposes of tariffs, imports and customs". Tomatoes by and large aren't being imported for their botanical value; they're being used for food. This ruling exists so corporations can't "um ackshually" their way out of paying their fair share.

But that's too sensible; in reality, this unanimous ruling that I never bothered to spend five seconds researching independently (I am very intellectually superior) was just "le Americans uneducated ecksdee".

(And before you point it out: yes, an "um ackshually" definition of vegetables includes fruits, although this is using a culinary one. So indeed, the original post can't even pedant right.)

Edit: to totally gild the lily, imagine your country adds a tax to crab meat because overfishing for a luxury good is destroying the Earth's oceans. Someone sells Alaskan king crab, and they go to the courts demanding their taxes back because "um, ackshually, crabs are infraorder Brachyura, but king crabs are nested cladistically inside the hermit crab superfamily". You would hope the court would tell them to get lost, because for the environmental impact and culinary uses that the bill is targeting, it's a crab.

Winston Payne energy. (Like Squidward, it's even funnier when the flashback shows them losing that hair in a single traumatic incident.)

OP's article is from July 1st.

This is why sex ed is so important in our schools. Puritanical Republicans are why so many poor American kids who grow up in red states don't know about basic things like periods, contraception, and vaginal spas.

OP, I would seriously consider trying the Arch Wiki for this. I really hope you had a backup, but you probably need expert-level advice here (at least below "paid data recovery specialist") if you have any hope of unfucking this. Obviously you've learned your lesson about running random commands you don't understand in response to an error message, so I don't think people should be scolding you here for that.

You're so lucky to be able to have yours be portable. 😞 The only penile spas I've ever seen are permanently installed in a wall. No clue how they work either.

Are the people who put hot sauce on their eggs using napalm?

OP, the site you're linking to is LLM slop. Like seriously just look at this site for a second.

• There's zero consistent theme.
• The images are generated.
• They're all "BY JOHN" (no pfp, no last name, no bio, let alone no indication why they're qualified to write about this cornucopia of shit).
• It only ever hyperlinks to itself – i.e. the sources may as well be "I made it the fuck up".
• The way the articles are structured are LLM slop to a tee – randomly bolding words, meandering prose, overuse of bullet points, jarring logical flow, etc.
• At least five articles per day from the same "person" despite extensive length, perfect grammar, and alleged research being done.

Can't you please link to an actual source to make this claim?

"Russia invades Ukraine." "Um ackshually many Russians do not support this move."

You understand how discussing groups as a singular entity works, right?

Do I get to be depraved and evil if I drink plant milk? I haven't had a glass lately, but that actually sounds refreshing.

Something Happened, the other, far lesser-known work by Catch-22 author Joseph Heller. It's too apples-to-oranges to throw around "better", but I already love Catch-22 and still prefer Something Happened. It's considerably longer, but in my opinion, it's criminally overlooked.

I remember speculating as a (small) kid that the AI soldiers in Battlefront II's local multiplayer might be real people employed by the developer. Not the brightest child was I.

Fair point! I entirely agree with that perspective in other areas. If we're using this as an example, then I understand why, but I actually think this is one example where the change is a tangibly good thing.

Why did I think the centaur on the left was a man doing unspeakable things to a small elephant

• sudo is telling the computer to do this with root privileges.
• chmod sets permissions.
• Each digit of that three-digit number corresponds to the owner, the group, and other users, respectively. It's 0–7, where 0 means no access and 7 means access to read, write, and execute. So 077 is the exact inverse of 700, where 077 means "the owner cannot access their own files, but everyone else can read, write, and execute them". Corresponding 700 to asexuals is joking that nobody but the owner can even so much as touch the files.
• / is the root directory, i.e. the very top of the filesystem.
• The -R flag says to do this recursively downward; in this case, that's starting from /.

So here, we're modifying every single file on the entire system to be readable, writable, and executable by everyone but their owner. And yes, this is supposed to be extremely stupid.
