I think we need to be teaching some scepticism, and that everyone should verify before they willingly trust random posts on the internet, as basic technological survival skills
we’re overwhelmingly unprepared for the idea that the top result on Google might be a paid ad which is actually a scam, unprepared for the idea that that 13k retweet screenshot showing something might actually be (poorly) edited
Was thinking about April showers and May flowers this morning, and of all things to come to mind, I wasn't expecting the prologue to the Canturbury Tales, in old English.
I had to memorize it in high school, complete with the original pronounciation. Even did a related project where I wrote the whole thing out in calligraphy pen and "illuminated" the margins.
What the heck, brain.
Meanwhile, yeah, that phrase/idiom about showera and flowers has been around a /long/ time.
Wishful futurism

I couldn't resist sharing the image more directly.

Woah. This is cool.
Last weekend I flew into Sacramento, California, to visit family. I saw this from the air on the approach flight.
And then suddenly today I find this article talking about it!
@emanate The flavor is interesting. I'd have expected them to go in the direction of "hot" of a spicy cinnamon candy. Instead, it tastes like they've managed to get actual capsaicin in them. Which mixes interestingly with the fruit flavors--themselves stronger than usual probably to compensate.
