Do you remember this?

Back in 2019 *this post* caused quite a stir on social media.
Screen grab of a tweet from Sir Stephen Fry on 29 August 2019. It is a quote of a headline about the Cerne Abbas Giant 'Giant's erection to be polished by hand for two weeks'. His quote is 'I think we can all agree this is a fine headline'. The National Trust replied under saying, 'Hi Stephen, our top priority has always been taking care of our members.'

humans on average have more than one human skeleton inside of them

Excellent nugget, thank you! So a human on average has less than 2 arms but also more than 2 kidneys. Surely some day this knowledge will come in useful! most likely in a pub conversation

Before you set out on a path of revenge you should first dig two graves. One for the guy you're getting revenge on and the other for whoever is gonna show up to get revenge for that guy. There might be some quick turnaround with that second person and you don't wanna get caught mid-grave dig.

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.
A comic called Animals with Misleading Names. There's an electric eel labeled "not an eel". There's a mountain goat labeled "not a goat." There's a maned wolf labeled "not a wolf." There's a king cobra labeled "not a cobra. Also, snakes are typically self-governing." There's a peacock mantis shrimp labeled "Not a peacock. Not a mantis. Also, not a shrimp." There's a horny toad labeled "Not a toad. Only thinks of you as a friend." There's a mayfly labeled "active through the spring and summer." There's an eastern kingbird labeled "found in the west. Many birds do not recognize its authority."

Es schleicht sich eine stillschweigende Duldung einer 3-Grad-Welt ein.

„Das Pariser Abkommen ist genau zehn Jahre alt. Eine 1,5-Grad-Welt war der kühne Traum der Pariser Dekade. Er ist geplatzt.

Eine 3-Grad-Welt ist der neue alte Albtraum des Post-Paris-Jahrzehnts.“

„Wäre Teheran also die erste Metropole, die wegen der Klimakrise unbewohnbar wird?
Ich glaube, das ist die falsche Frage. Sie führt in die Irre (…)
Teheran wäre die erste Metropole, über die politisch das Urteil gesprochen wird: in der Klimakrise nicht mehr zu bewahren.“

Wo bleiben die Skandal-Headlines über den Hausbesitzer und den Bauherren, die durch ihre Gier zwei Menschen am Gewissen haben, nebenbei den Sozialstaat und das Pensionssystem ausbeuten und sich einen Dreck ums Gesetz scheren?

So, El Fasher looks like one of the worst single event atrocities to happen this century so far, but the evidence has come in such a trickle it seems to only now be getting verified
At least 60,000 murdered in Sudanese city, which resembles ‘a slaughterhouse’
