Skeletor torments He-Man with powerful intuition about Bayesian reasoning and the nature of information
Skeletor disturbing facts meme. Top panel depicts Skeletor lounging on the floor, probably in his lair at Snake Mountain, and reads, "Monte could have shown you either door, He-Man." Bottom panel shows Skeletor running away down a corridor and reads, "He *chose* to show you the one with a goat." There is an implied backstory in which He-Man was a contestant on Let's Make a Deal, had the opportunity to switch doors, *didn't* switch doors, and won a goat. Skeletor is now tormenting He-Man by providing intuition for how Monte's choice provided information about which door the car was behind. Man I love Skeletor, so much. What a fantastic character.

I've decided I'm now the Monte Hall problem meme guy, this is a Monte Hall meme account now
Cap'n Crunch Oops All (blank) meme, but for Monte Hall and Goats. Monte's face is where the Cap'n's should be, and the cereal box reads "Monte Hall's Oops! All GOATS". Contrary to the claim on the packaging, the cereal bowl depicted contains a mix of delicious crunch berries and two goats.

This post just brought to mind Randee of the Redwoods, so I guess my long-term memory still works?
Randee of the Redwoods, an MTV character from the early 90's, posing against a blue backdrop. He's wearing yellow Chucks, blue pants with white stars, a pink, white, and black hippy top with bell sleeves that end at the elbow, sunglasses with only one lens, and a scarf tied as a headband; he's holding an electric guitar. His right hand is raised in a fist, either because he's about to hit a power chord, or less likely, because he's making the universal sign of political solidarity.

OMFG had a BLT for lunch, didn't he
Screen grab of article: “So, you know, it’s such a great question in the sense that people don’t think of grocery. You know, it sounds like not such an important word when you talk about homes and everything else, right? But more people tell me about grocery bills, where the price of bacon, the price of lettuce, the price of tomatoes, they tell me. [1] And we’re going to do a lot of things.

Very curious to know which person ask this
Google search result that inclides a "People also ask" drop down that says, and this is verbatim, "Which Netherland has eaten their Prime Minister?"

Not sure why I made this
The Beatles with their Sgt Peppers-era moustaches. Yellow meme text over each Beatle reads: Defier (John), Always-Taker (Paul), Never-Taker (George), Complier (Ringo).

Posta perfect album 21 yada yada listen, this one isn't perfect because one out of 15 tracks is sort of mid, but the rest, THE REST of this album is 100% perfect.
Album art for Elastica's eponymous debut. It's 93.33% perfect.

Massive respect to Rosario/ THOMAS for hitting send on this extremely lazy, multiple choice spam.
Spam email from an account named Nelson Rosario. Text reads in all caps: I AM WRITING TO SEEK YOUR HIGHLY ESTEEMED HELP/ CONSENT IN A LASTING BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP OF MUTUAL BENEFIT FOR INVESTMENT IN YOUR COMPANY/COUNTRY UNDER A JOINT VENTURE PARTNERSHIP. KIND REGARDS THOMAS
