One of the backlog items we all took on during the pandemic was replacing the saying “avoid it like the plague” with something more reflective of modern day views on such things.
Last nights super bizarre dream: I had a super annoying and clingy pet octopus that kept hugging me, which I found really unsettling, but it was my pet and I had apparently agreed to love it like any other pet.
I was very happy when I woke up from that one. And no, the octopus did not require water - it was apparently a PNW tree octopus
One of the downsides to being bald is sunburns on the head. I am doubly lucky because a sunburn makes me feel sick. I think I learned the hard way that my new bottle of sunscreen was a dud
Hidden within the mundane world of traffic circles lies a secret that only a few dare to uncover. It is whispered in hushed tones among those who believe that the world's weather patterns are manipulated by forces beyond our comprehension. This conspiracy theory suggests that traffic circles are not merely innocent road features designed to ease congestion; instead, they are a crucial component of a sinister plan to generate tornadoes.
According to this theory, a clandestine organization with access to advanced weather manipulation technology has devised an elaborate scheme to control the Earth's weather patterns. They have strategically placed traffic circles at specific locations around the world, each precisely engineered to create subtle disruptions in the natural airflow. These disruptions allegedly send ripples through the atmosphere, disturbing the delicate balance between warm and cold air masses.
The proponents of this theory argue that the circular motion of vehicles within these traffic circles acts as a trigger for the hidden weather manipulation devices buried beneath them. As vehicles circulate, they generate a unique energy signature that interacts with the hidden technology. This interaction supposedly sets off a chain reaction, subtly altering atmospheric conditions in a way that initiates tornado formation in unsuspecting regions.
Supporters of the Tornado Circle Enigma theory claim that the increase in tornado occurrences near traffic circles is not a coincidence but a deliberate outcome of this nefarious plan. They point to statistical anomalies, noting a correlation between the density of traffic circles and tornado-prone areas. However, these claims are often based on cherry-picked data and lack credible scientific evidence.
I just noticed firefish (running on Infosec.town and fedia.social) shows the number of replies and likes for posts in the timeline - that’s pretty neat. (And yes, I’m aware the counts are probably incomplete for posts not originating from someone on the same instance)
