Guess what word activates the voice recognition in my Chevy truck?
Hint: I was listening to this morning's Daily about the Google antitrust case...

Overthinking Social Media Schticks
I get unreasonably angry when I see a new social media account pop up on my feed that is basically ripping off the shtick of a social media account already regularly in my feed.

Overthinking Reddit
Reddit is like looking at the world in the reflection from a funhouse mirror. You can see what it might look like, but the actual image is a twisted, funny, gross, scary version of the thing. What is terrifying is that SO MANY young people go to reddit for news.

Overthinking Worms:
There is a cruel metaphor in the dead, sun dried worms you find on the sidewalk and road in the sun. They were just doing what worms do, oblivious to the inevitability of their doom. Lost in the unprotected Expanse when the sun appeared, it was hopeless. Did they know?

Overthinking Windshield Wiper Controls:
Everytime you get into a new car, you have to relearn the most basic controls in the car. Steering works the same. Gas and brake work the same. But for some reason, every make and model wants to shuffle the wiper blades, lights and seat controls.
Why?

Overthinking Beer
Is it possible that something so simple,so ancient, can still serve to hold the world together? Is it possible that the meaning of life can be contained in a pint glass?
Yes. Yes it is possible.
All hail Beer.

Overthinking Elves and Men

They lurked around the light of the camp, suspicious but curious. Eventually, the campers would feed them and offer them solace, and so the lurkers' suspicion fell and was replaced by love.
These are not wolves, but men.

Overthinking Nostalgia:
There are things that you can be nostalgic for: the make and model of your first car; the music that blasted from that car's stereo; the friends that rode the highway at 120mph with you; even the shitty job that bought you that car.
But one kind of nostalgia is off limits.

Overthinking Burgers:
Usually any trend in food is mostly hype, an opportunity for people to post about it more than eat. But every once in a while, something really great grabs the gastroimagination of the country: buffalo wings, fried pickles, and now smash burgers.
There is no better burger.

Overthinking Running:
That meme. You know it. "Never trust the first mile; the first mile is a liar."
While this statement is thematically true, it isn't actually the "first mile" that lies. If you are a marathoner, it might be the first five. Or the first run/walk interval if you are, well, me.

Overthinking Generations:
Everyone thinks that your generation is based on the year you were born. I don't think that is true. I think your generation is based on what media impacted you most. And here is a thing I don't think we talk about enough: nerds bridge generations because of this.

Overthinking Flying:
It is about 7 AM, and up in the sky is a man hanging from what I imagine is a lawn chair with a lawnmower engine strapped to the back of it. I can't get a good sense of how high up he is, other than to say that if it lets go, he is a very weird statistical death.

Overthinking Breakfast:
How did "breakfast food" end up "breakfast food"? It is such a strange thing to think that a particular, not insignificant selection of foods have been collectively assigned to one of our three meals per day. But here we are, saying we "had breakfast for dinner" as a staple.

Overthinking Memes:
Do memes based on stills from movies, televisions shows, etc violate copyright? Could DIsney order a takedown of every violating meme on reddit? Or are memes considered a fair use? Does turning Boromir into a joke constitute sufficient transformation? Has it been tested?

Overthinking Strands:
This puzzle reveals a very powerful aspect of the human brain: it is just a jumble of letters at first, and as often as not reveals the wrong answers. However, once we have the theme, we can suddenly see the right answers that were obfuscated just moments ago.
