Hey @Grok, what is the purpose of these black dots on a car windshield? And how is it relevant to us ?

This image is a historical chart of Edo-period (1603–1868) punitive arm tattoos (irezumi kei) used to brand criminals, mainly thieves, in different Japanese regions. Simple black marks like bars, crosses, or lines showed the offense and repeats—often leading to further punishment or death after 3+ marks.
Labels (place names/facilities):
京都 (Kyoto), 人足寄場 (criminal labor camp), 群代 (shogunate territories), 甲府 (Kofu), 江戸増入墨 (Edo repeat offenders), 江戸 (Edo), 大阪 (Osaka), 伏見 (Fushimi), 長崎 (Nagasaki), 奈良 (Nara), 駿府 (Sunpu), 堺 (Sakai), 長州 (Choshu), 筑後 (Chikugo), 紀州 (Kishu), 非人 (hinin/outcasts), 日光 (Nikko), 佐渡 (Sado).
These marks shamed people as criminals, tying tattoos to stigma (and later yakuza covering them).

Bro… the day I learned the REAL meaning of this tattoo in Japan changed how I look at EVERYONE who has one 😭

This meme satirizes the Genesis account: Adam & Eve as the sole starting point for humanity means their kids (Cain, Abel, plus unnamed daughters) had to marry siblings/close relatives to continue the line.
The cartoon repeats "Eve" at the bottom to exaggerate the awkward family tree loops that result from a strictly literal reading. It's a classic biology-vs-Bible jab.

(Carrick on his job) Listen, clarity is key. As we approach the end of the season having finished strongly and put ourselves in a good position it's the natural time to discuss my role and what it looks like going forward. That was always the plan, to address it towards the end of the season, if not right at the end. So honestly, nothing has changed." #mufc

@Ridwanapo1 It’s a good reminder not to ignore what the body is trying to say. Pain in the hands and wrists could look “small,” but doctors always check the bigger picture before concluding anything serious.
