Enjoy it! I'm happy for you!

This decision takes some courage, so well done :)

The YouTube Channel Kurzgesagt has proposed a calendar based on the 'Human Era' (HE) instead of before/after christ format.

It's based on the first monument of large-scale human cooperation (building a temple in modern-day turkey) and is quite elegant in my opinion. It 'simply' adds 10.000 years to the calendar we're all already used to. :)

Yea. Turns out the biggest creature you can freeze and thaw again (in strict lab conditions) is a hamster, anything bigger just dies.

Yea, I really liked these as a kid. Shame their chocolate is collected by slaves :|

I'm curious if this wil have any impact on chocolate slavery

The implication is that they (well.. we) can't do what's necessary in a low-effort scenario I'd say.

Kind of similar to calling someone a mouthbreather

'Just'

The friend that first recommended 'Project Hail Mary' to me told me to not read ANYTHING about it and just read it.

Best advice for this particular book you could ask for.

There are alternatives like ..not sure what it's called in english. Mastika? Mastiha? It's a tree resin from the mediterranean that's been used for that weird greek rezina wine. It's an acquired taste, but I personally really like it.

Not malitious - this is a case of chaotic good. If it's funny and harms noone, roll with it!
