The math of both of them is incorrect, Yang's because 100-10 and 90+9 do not equal 100, and greg because while 90+10 equals 100, 100-10 still does not.

The correct form for this math is 100x(90/100) = 90, and 90x(1+(10/100)) = 99, as they are two different equations, not an ongoing attempt to simplify the same equation.

This isn't quite accurate, Parallax was the pseudonym he wrote his book (Zetetic Astronomy: Earth Not a Globe) under. But yeah, this is the yob that is the source of modern Flat Earth theory.

Too bad I didn't know about this one a month ago.

IKEA chocolate bunny. Some assembly required.




EDIT: Unknown whether this was inspired by the Swedish Chef's "chocolate mouss(e)" sketch, they also have a chocolate moose. Again, some assembly required.

Yeah, I've done that. Repeatedly.

I know a lot more about Japanese criminal law now that I did when I started Isekai by Moonlight, and I've lost track of how many results of multi-hour research sessions ended up in single lines in KanriKyara stories.

It's just something that writers do.

Maybe they'll end up in the big leagues if they put some effort into playing multiple roles.

Grr. There's a difference between "we don't know the exact composition, but we have a good idea" and "oooooooooh it's magic." Which is what this image tries to make it out to be. They have a pretty good idea how the battery was made and why it's lasted nearly two centuries so far. I hate these deceitful meme images that boil down to "I can't understand it, therefore it is beyond all understanding."

[Norgarth]

Never heard of Dr. Sander's Sleep Cure but that is impressive (and sounds exhausting).
As for the bell, I mostly just thought that a battery that's been providing power (even if just ringing a bell probably isn't a big draw) for that long was interesting.
