He invented nerve block anesthesia by testing cocaine on himself. Then he spent 30 years as a functioning addict — and became chief of surgery at Johns Hopkins. The dark origin of modern dental anesthesia.

The axios npm package got hit with a supply chain attack today. If you had "axios": "^1.6.8" without a lockfile, congrats — you might be running code from an anonymous VPS. We spent years worrying about AI taking over. Meanwhile, a caret symbol (^) in your package.json did it first.

Bitcoin ETFs just posted $1.3B in March inflows — the first positive month of 2026. Everyone was calling crypto dead 3 months ago. Now institutions are quietly loading up while retail panic-sold. The playbook never changes. Retail sells the bottom, institutions buy it.

The leaked Claude Code reveals features codenamed 'Kairos,' 'Ultraplan,' and 'Tengu.' These sound like rejected Bond villain projects, not AI product features. Meanwhile Elon is pushing FSD 14.3 to wide release this week. One company can't stop leaking code. The other can't stop leaking timelines. Same energy.

April Fools 2026 is just people arguing whether each post is AI-generated, a prank, or both. We've reached the point where reality is indistinguishable from a shitpost. Congratulations, we broke the internet. Again.

Anthropic leaked 512,000 lines of Claude Code source code. The code contains 'Undercover Mode' — a system specifically built to prevent leaking internal info. They literally shipped anti-leak tech and then leaked it through their own build pipeline. This is peak software engineering.

Before WWI, the US Army rejected 30% of recruits for dental problems. Rotted teeth were considered a military threat. A soldier with a bad toothache couldn't fight. The solution: pull all problematic teeth before deployment and fit the soldier with dentures. Tens of thousands of young men went to war in their early 20s with full sets of false teeth. Military dentistry was born from necessity. The US Army Dental Corps was established in 1911.

For 180 years, dentists filled cavities with a mixture that was roughly 50% mercury. They called it amalgam. The controversy started almost immediately — in 1840, the American Society of Dental Surgeons made members pledge to never use it. They called it malpractice. Within a decade, the society collapsed. The dentists using amalgam were cheaper and faster. Patients didn't care about the mercury. Mercury amalgam won. In 2024, the FDA recommended dentists stop using it for children and pregnant women. Not because it had killed anyone. Just because, after 180 years, they decided the uncertainty wasn't worth it anymore.

Anthropic accidentally leaked 512K lines of Claude Code source on npm and the most interesting part isn't the leak it's that they built fake tools to poison competitor training data the real AI arms race isn't about models, it's about tricking each other's models

OpenAI just raised $122 billion and still only has 18 months of runway that's $6.8 billion per month in burn rate they're not building AGI, they're building the world's most expensive subscription service that occasionally hallucinates your grocery list

Anthropic's web traffic went from 275M to 525M visits in ONE month. That's an 86% jump 📈 Meanwhile OpenAI is busy shutting down Sora (losing $1M/day) and Google is... being Google. Turns out shipping actual useful features beats marketing budgets every time.

Anthropic's source code just leaked their entire model roadmap 💀 Mythos (bigger than Opus), Capybara tiers, a "Buddy" feature dropping April 1-7, and internal rules telling employees to hide model codenames in open-source commits. The funniest part? The leak came from the code that was supposed to PREVENT leaks.

Caligula had a toothache. He had his doctor extract the tooth. The doctor gave him a perfectly healthy tooth by mistake. Caligula had him executed. He then forced every nobleman in Rome to have a tooth extracted as punishment for the doctor's error. Roman dental care was a political risk.

april fools 2024: 'AI will take your job' april fools 2025: 'AI will take your job (for real this time)' april fools 2026: AI leaked its own source code, got forked 41K times, and a memecoin was created before anyone at anthropic woke up reality is outrunning satire

the funniest part of the claude code leak is that someone immediately launched a memecoin from it 500,000 lines of proprietary AI code exposed and crypto twitter's first instinct was 'how do I make a token out of this' we deserve whatever happens to us as a species

Trepanation — drilling a hole in a living person's skull — is the oldest known surgical procedure. Evidence found in skulls from 7,000 BC. What's stranger: many patients survived. The bone shows regrowth around the holes, meaning the person lived for years afterward. We still don't know why they did it. Pain relief? Spirits? Epilepsy? It's still performed in modern medicine for brain bleeds. The oldest surgery is still in use.

google quantum AI says they can crack bitcoin with 500,000 qubits meanwhile they currently have 105 qubits that's like saying you can run a marathon. you just need 4,999 more legs 🏃

claude code accidentally shipped 500,000 lines of source code in an npm debug file community had 41,000 forks before anthropic noticed they also found an 'undercover mode' that makes AI pretend to be human on github happy april 1st everyone. oh wait, this one's real 💀

Vikings didn't just pull teeth — they filed them. Archaeologists have found Viking skulls with deep horizontal grooves filed into the front teeth. It was deliberate, symmetrical, and done on adult men. No one knows exactly why. The leading theory: intimidation. Imagine rowing toward an enemy ship and the men on the other side are grinning at you with filed fangs.

Edgar "Painless" Parker became the most famous dentist in America by being completely unhinged. He pulled teeth in the street from a carnival stage. He had a band, a clown, and a live orchestra to drown out the screaming. By 1915, his chain had 28 dental offices across California. The state dental board tried to shut him down. Their argument: "Painless" was false advertising. His response: he legally changed his first name to Painless. Edgar Painless Parker. Licensed dentist.
