Go.

@20th_Centurygal Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits

Name one song you consider a masterpiece. I know it’s not easy to choose just one, but that’s what makes it a challenge.

@20th_Centurygal Everything Louder than Everyone Else

Who’s the loudest band you’ve ever seen live?

Name a movie you've seen more than 7 times with just a GIF

@cyber_razz Using the free limewire edition to download the premium edition, those were the days!!

I was born in 2001, so I just missed Napster. But LimeWire? That was my childhood. Picture this: you're 10 years old. You want to download "Hey Ya" by OutKast. You type it in. 47 results come back. Three of them are the actual song. The rest are things like "OutKast_HeyYa_Britney_Spears_Naked.exe" and a random Lithuanian polka cover. And you still click on two of them because you're desperate. You start the download at 9pm. By 1am, it's at 86%. Then your mom picks up the phone. BZZZZT. Gone. Start over. When it finally finishes? The audio sounds like it was recorded inside a washing machine. But you burn it to a CD anyway and tell your friends you have the "exclusive underground version." The family PC got slower every week. Pop-ups everywhere. One time a Vietnamese poker bot started greeting me at startup. We never fixed it. We just renamed the shortcut "System32" and pretended that helped. Then the RIAA started suing everyone. Grandmas. Kids. That one neighbor who downloaded "Complicated" by Avril Lavigne 400 times. We got scared. Switched to private torrent sites with weird ratios and secret invites. Streaming made me soft. Not gonna lie. Now I get mad if Spotify buffers for two seconds. Meanwhile 12-year-old me waited four hours for a 3-minute song and said "thank you." LimeWire taught me patience, trust issues, and that any file with "No Virus" in the name definitely has three viruses. Press F for the shared folder. We were chaos on dial-up. 💿

@billycanada @jondelarroz Reconfigure the main deflector dish to emit negative tachyon particles. This worked for every other episode of Next Gen!

@jondelarroz Let me guess the solution. With only 30 seconds to go, one of the smart students hacks into the computer system and de-activates everything while being yelled at.

Starfleet Academy is written for retarded people. In the new episode they state there's 240 billion particles of this new super weapon that surrounds the entire Federation as a minefield. Particles are very small. That's amount could make a shell of 200 meters. They didn't bother to check.

@Dr_TheHistories Looks blunt, needs sharpening @DaveGorman

On a quiet November night in 2001, off the calm shores of Malindi, Kenya, a local fisherman set out on what he thought would be an ordinary fishing trip. But tangled in his net was no ordinary catch. What he pulled from the depths stunned everyone onboard: a strange, massive creature weighing over 77 kilograms and stretching 1.8 meters in length. With its fleshy, limb-like fins moving as if it were walking underwater, the creature looked like something from another time—and it was. When marine experts examined the specimen, the news sent shockwaves through the scientific world: this wasn’t just any fish—it was a coelacanth, one of the rarest marine creatures known to science. Thought to have gone extinct over 65 million years ago and known only through fossils, the coelacanth was first discovered alive in 1938 off the coast of South Africa. But this new catch off the Kenyan coast reshaped the map of its known habitat, suggesting the western Indian Ocean—especially the waters between Kenya, Comoros, and Madagascar—could still be home to this ancient species. What makes the coelacanth so extraordinary is its status as a “living fossil.” It has primitive traits not found in most modern fish, and its structure provides vital clues about the evolutionary transition from sea creatures to amphibians. The Kenyan specimen was preserved at the National Museum in Nairobi and became the focus of intense scientific research. Its discovery reminded the world that the ocean’s depths still hold secrets and that perhaps many more species believed long gone are simply waiting to be found in the silent darkness below. © Reddit #drthehistories

@adrianfclarke Every possible thing that could break on that car broke, seats, window winder handles, door handles. I had to use a pair of mole grips on the window winder to lower the window so I could open the driver's door using the outside handle!

@inf_horizons Christ that looks shite. The stance is making my car designer’s eye twitch.

So that’s 2025 completed. This hateful device was comfortably the worst car I drove all year. In fact it’s probably the worst car I’ve ever driven:

@J_WBerry @NoContextBrits It was quicker and easier to just bludgeon the ice to death in a sandwich bag with a house brick!

@J_WBerry @NoContextBrits The world is divided into two groups of people: Those who wanted a Mr Frosty but didn't get one and those who did get one and found out it was rubbish!

@NoContextBrits Mine was 2p a bar, or you stick a butter knife in the slot and the chocolate would come out

@Nichtsistgut @MarinaMedvin So until then I suppose we'll issue weaponry to every man woman and child on the planet and just let peace ensue then shall we??

Yes, one solution for murderous jihadists with guns is a state that does its utmost to prevent such people from existing within its borders or entering them, a competent and well-trained police force with tactical expertise, snipers, and protective equipment, and a population that is capable of protecting itself, at least to a certain extent and for a certain period of time. No one without a weapon, or at least without knowledge of how to use a weapon, has a realistic chance of stopping well-armed and trained terrorists. The perpetrators in Sydney had about 20 minutes to shoot at unarmed people. Your sophistry is very unconvincing and no substitute for a moral and rational argument. The moment you or a member of your family becomes the victim of a similar attack, your superficial, fashionable beliefs will change in a nanosecond.

4 unarmed HEROES tried stopping the Bondi Beach terrorists: - Boris and Sofia Gurman, 69 and 61, wrestled a terrorist to the ground - Reuven Morrison, 65, hurled objects at the terrorist, even a brick - Ahmed al Ahmed, 43, temporarily disarmed the younger terrorist by sneaking up on him from behind Everyone lost their lives trying to stop them except for Ahmed, who survived but was wounded after the terrorist, whose life he spared, found another weapon and continued firing into the crowd. These people are HEROES for doing what they did.

@Nichtsistgut @MarinaMedvin Just one more argument to eradicate religion from this world, it's the number one cause/excuse for more and bloodiest acts than anything else. The notion of my god (lowercase on purpose) being more powerful/correct than yours is such a stupid argument for killing people.

@Nichtsistgut @MarinaMedvin The solution to gun violence isn't more guns....

@MarinaMedvin Yes, and an armed citizenry would have been far better equipped to prevent the mass murder, given the apparent incompetence of the police force and a treacherous and grossly negligent government.

@CanalRiverTrust boat moored near lock 21W in Uppermill looks like it's about to sink....

@anon_opin Late, as in the late Arthur Dent - it's sort of a threat....

We should have a different word for a dead spouse. When they die, the marriage is over, so you can't really continue calling them "my wife". And "ex-wife" has already been claimed by the divorced. The person left behind has a noun, be it "widow" or "widower", but not the dead.

@BBCOne when is Traitors Ireland coming to iPlayer?
