If someone from 200 years ago was transported into the now, would they be surprised how often stuff breaks, or were they used to stuff breaking all the time?

What ever happened to all that junk, all that junk inside that trunk? Did they find someplace to store it, or did it not spark joy, or what?

Devasting news! Google has removed reviews for schools from Google maps (Australia)! I wish I had kept an archive. They were hilarious :(

Every time I get on my bike I am immediately reminded of all the things I meant to fix or tweak on it, but then as soon as I get home I forget all about it. Until the next time I'm on the bike again. Which is usually the next day.

The government's failure to prosecute unelected ministries undermines its own legitimacy. The whole ministry of sound must be arrested and tried for treason. And perhaps executed. Furthermore, the shadow minister of sound has failed to mobilize any sort of effective opposition. #ministryofsound

If you're really rich, you're paying someone to do your laundry, right? Are you also paying someone to buy your underwear for you? Like, your mum? How's that work?

Steve Irwin's last words were "I'm dying". Apt. Very apt. And that's what people liked about him.

I'm not sure I believe in buckwheat. I'd generally consider myself a skeptic, and apparently Google says that buckwheat is a pseudocereal.

The most ethical way to be a comedian performing in Riyadh would be to talk about the forbidden topics, get arrested, etc. The next best option would be doing a whole set of crowd work. (Maybe then going arthouse and reading a dictionary. Then bombing on purpose.)

When you're learning to be a cult leader, the first thing they teach you is to always be the last person to drink the poison, so then you can back out if you're having second thoughts. Also, if you go first, the danger is that no one else will drink it, which is pretty embarrassing.

Did Donovan get a writing credit on Yellow Submarine because he copyrighted the idea of mentioning colours in songs? Otherwise "sky of blue and sea of green" doesn't seem like much of a contribution.

When Blippi finished recording The Excavator Song did a hush fall over the studio and the producer looked Blippi dead in the eye and said "You have no idea where this song will take you." Or was it more like the documentary narrator would say that in the voice over.

Is that bit where Tony Stark comes back from his cave time and deleted a heap of emails without reading them the bravest thing a super hero had ever done?
