I want to ask you all what's your favourite piece of lore that is not that popular and want to share? My personal favourites are Land Trains!

Yoda drawing his lightsaber with the force was probably the coldest thing ever

From all the players I've met IRL, both from 40k and AoS (hell, even Old Slop), not a single one of them chose their armies because of the lore. They chose them because they looked cool.

Many people still don’t know that Michael Jackson was secretly involved in the soundtrack production of Sonic the Hedgehog 3, one of the most iconic video games of the 1990s. What made the story even more mysterious was that Michael Jackson’s name never officially appeared in the game credits. For years, fans argued over whether the rumors were true or just internet myths.

7,000 false positives per square millimeter. The culprit was the lab gloves. University of Michigan researchers just upended a core assumption in microplastics science. Latex and nitrile gloves, worn by the scientists doing the measuring, shed stearate particles that look chemically identical to polyethylene. Standard infrared and Raman instruments can't tell them apart. The gloves were counting as plastic. Seven glove types tested. All contaminated. The cheapest fix: switch to cleanroom gloves, which dropped false positives to around 100 per mm² vs. 7,000. The "credit card per week" headline (5 grams, WWF/Newcastle 2019) has separate problems. A 2022 re-analysis found severe methodological errors in the original estimate. Actual measured intake is likely 100x lower. None of this means microplastics are harmless. Last month's data on brain accumulation still stands. But the numbers driving the panic may have been measuring the scientists, not the environment. Science catching its own errors is exactly how it's supposed to work.

you dont have to do this. you dont have to pretend like this was some uniquely good thing that millenials got to experience that gen Z missed out on. you dont have to embarass yourself like this. it was fine music for the time but lets not lose our fucking minds

When libs talk to you about empathy, what they mean is “I want you to feel the same way I do and thus recognize the superiority of my moral sentiments, so that you will give me power over you.” They can’t imagine being Sudanese any more than they can imagine being a conservative.

One of the best 30 Rock jokes.

If Mixtape was a movie I wouldn't have been able to have so much fun doing this.

Christopher Nolan: Orchestras didn’t exist back then. We can’t use an orchestra for The Odyssey... Also Nolan: Helen of Troy is now black. Achilles is a 5 ft nothing tranny. Travis Scott is gonna rap. Robert Pattinson is gonna say “daddy”. Soldiers will have iron armor in the Bronze Age. Movie will be based on a modernized, feminist rewrite of the story. This movie will be a beautifully filmed piece of woke, liberal slop.
