@diet_tapwater It's called Schrodinger's Mocha and it's the most delicious beverage but it immediately decays into hot *or* iced if you open the box. Something like that.

@KnowingBetterYT Best leave it unsolved, really

Do people still spontaneously combust or was that just a cigarettes and furniture thing?

@F_K_Factor I've been a fan of Nixie tubes for many years. They are indeed awesome 👍

The world craves amber.

ERCOT sounds like a Disney attraction and I'm tired of pretending that it doesn't

@runaway_vol The fact that you call it that tells me you aren't ready

why would anyone buy a windows laptop in the year of our lord 2026

@wylfcen Turkeyland? Do they have ham, there, as well?

I’m never saying Türkiye. I’m actually going to Anglicize it more by calling it Torkland.

@rushicrypto Cops shouldn't do drugs IMHO

How is it that teenagers can find a drug dealer in like 10 minutes… but somehow the police “can’t”? That doesn’t even make sense to me. Either nobody’s really trying, or something about the system is way more broken than they admit.

@other_st_nick Wisconsin is the real enemy

Why can’t we just make the entire county Chicago

@the_transit_guy Why is that interesting

The 133 municipalities in Cook County collectively have the same population as Chicago; meaning 133 separate police departments serve roughly the same number of residents as the Chicago Police Department alone.

@FCC DO IT

@ian_bruh1 Bruhhhhh we are so back

PLEASE

@TheLegalMindset I thought this only happened in Canada

The case of Noelia Castillo Ramos is sickening After being gang-raped in a Spanish government run facility by migrants, the government coerced a woman with severe mental health issues into euthanesia because she had depression. They'd rather kill her than prosecute rapists

@ReviewsPossum We should just use the magic rocks to boil water

If we renamed nuclear energy to something like "crystal energy" and didn't tell anyone, all of the anti-nuclear people would support it.

@bob53545 @TravelGov @grok Absolutely not

Hong Kong: On March 23, 2026, the Hong Kong government changed the implementing rules relating to the National Security Law. It is now a criminal offense to refuse to give the Hong Kong police the passwords or decryption assistance to access all personal electronic devices including cellphones and laptops. This legal change applies to everyone, including U.S. citizens, in Hong Kong, arriving or just transiting Hong Kong International Airport. In addition, the Hong Kong government also has more authority to take and keep any personal devices, as evidence, that they claim are linked to national security offenses.

@TravelGov Yeah ok don't travel to Hong Kong

@shipwreckedcrew That's EXACTLY what SS was designed to be?

The it no longer becomes a "contribution" to one's own Social Security "account", it is just a tax on wages to fund a Govt funded social welfare program for the elderly. That's NOT was SS was designed to be.

Trump keeps doing things that make the television angry.

@supertrucker It's not hazardous

I don’t see any hazmat placards.

@MediumSizeMeech Some of the most experienced lawyers in the world, but overworked and underresourced

This is public defender sweetie

Microsoft has now renamed this product four times in four years and each name is worse than the last. Microsoft Office (1990-2022). Thirty-two years of brand equity. Everyone on Earth knew what it meant. Your grandmother knew what it meant. “I need to open Office” required zero explanation in any language. Then: Microsoft 365. Then: Microsoft 365 (Office), because even Microsoft couldn’t stop using the old name. Then: Microsoft 365 Copilot. The app icon is now identical to the Copilot chatbot icon with a tiny “M365” badge in the corner. Users are opening the AI chatbot when they want Excel. “Office 365” still has double the search traffic of “Microsoft 365.” “Microsoft 365 Copilot” has virtually none. The reason this keeps happening is the same reason it will keep getting worse. Microsoft sells Copilot to Wall Street, not to the person trying to open a spreadsheet. Satya Nadella told investors 70% of Fortune 500 companies “adopted” Copilot. The actual conversion rate, the share of employees with access who choose to use it, is 35.8%. ChatGPT’s is 83.1%. When workers have access to multiple AI tools and can pick freely, 8% choose Copilot. 70% choose ChatGPT. Copilot’s paid subscriber market share dropped from 18.8% to 11.5% in six months. Gemini passed it in November 2025. So Microsoft did the only thing left: rebrand the world’s most recognized productivity suite after the AI product nobody is voluntarily using, and raise the subscription price to pay for it. This is the same company that rebranded MSN to “Microsoft Start” in 2021 and quietly reverted to MSN three years later after everyone ignored the new name. The same company that renamed Microsoft Remote Desktop to “Windows App.” 400 million paid seats. The switching cost is so high that Microsoft could name it Microsoft Copilot Clippy 365 AI Turbo and most companies would renew anyway.
