Just to let you know. The reason why they are back is because DOGE went 100% by vibes and decided to let teenagers and people under 23 who have no sense of morality or ethics and were raised to think that anything that doesn't fire bullets or explode at supersonic speeds is politically correct.

They looked at a program involving the mating habits of flies and insisted it must be some ivory tower gay shit that virgins study because a fly is the only thing that has a penis smaller than them.

They also defunded Arabic sesame street. A show I grew up watching. A non-religious, apolitical Arabic version of sesame street that is just culturally adapted to children in the Middle East (and there is more than one version). Meaning noe there is one less secular show for muslim kids to watch that will likely be filled in with religious funded stuff.

I believe all true explosion are supersonic, otherwise it's just a conflagration. Feels like an important distinction.

For example: "That police car exploded!" Is probably incorrect, even if the gas tank catches fire.

However, "That police car conflagrated" is sort of a mouthful, so I understand the colloquial use of "explode"

Today's dose of pedantry, until tomorrow!

I have returned from the Internet! I was mistaken!

Both ~~conflagrations~~ deflagration and detonations are types of explosions, the difference being the speed of sound.

This is intended, a colony of brain-eating worms runs the Department of Health and Human Safety after all.

It was the DOGE foreign aid cuts.

The money spent in Panama couldn't be to benefit the US right?

The missing information is: the worm is back by design.

Let's cut the scary worm prevention program, what a waste!

Scary worms are just a leftist conspiracy to undermine everything that's holy about America!

What could possibly go wrong?
