The loss of “lurk moar” has really ruined the youth culture because under any clip or meme you’ll see kids commenting “context?” even if it is eminently googleable.

Ominous positivity

Today I learned that in 36 BCE, Roman statesman Marcus Varro wrote one of the earliest descriptions of germs, going on to say,

"...there are bred certain minute creatures which cannot be seen by the eyes, which float in the air and enter the body through the mouth and nose, and there cause serious diseases."

The germ theory of disease would not be widely accepted for another 1,900 years.

Isn't it cool that the fundamental group of ℝℙ² is ℤ/2 cause removing a disc leaves you with a Möbius strip?

Some of you are cool and deserve to be let inside the secret group chat.

When you die and go to the afterworld, you get to sneeze all of the sneezes you sneezed, again -- as well as all the sneezes you didn't get to sneeze.

People say things like "I've destroyed my sleep schedule." But I am one step ahead of those people, because having a sleep schedule is required before you can destroy your sleep schedule.

It's always annoying when a work of fiction presents a "revelation" that you didn't even realize was supposed to not be known. In Jennifer Government, there's a bit where this guy is infiltrating the villainous organization having copied the identity of a member of that organization. He meets a guy whose name is the same as his cover name, and a bit later he suddenly discovers that this is the person he's disguised as! In one Ghost in the Shell episode, they're looking through the pictures taken by a murder victim -- in a world where cybernetic implants are common, and which are clearly taken from his eyes rather than a camera -- and then much much later one of these crack professional detectives realizes that there's no camera and this is the key clue he needs to blow open the case. Even if I might buy someone from our time missing that, this guy lives in a world where such things are commonplace! How does he not realize this?
