Climate activists are actually conservative, as their goal is to prevent a radical change to the climate that human civilization depends on.

Why do people say "symbiotic relationship" when they really mean "mutualistic"?
Everything I know about being in my 40s is what I learned from Al Bundy
When historians are trying to credit the invention of generative AI, they may have to hunt down that one social media post that started the "use only auto-complete to finish this sentence" trend.

We don't need bluelight filtere
Why we actually need bluelight filters in lens, monitors and phones? Led bulbs are already emitting a hell lot brighter bluelight every day and night. Whats the point in buying these less blue marketed gadgets
Someday soon (if it hasn't already happened) a book will be published that was written and edited entirely on a phone/tablet with a touch keyboard.

The short version of the Unix philosophy is basically, “Do one thing, and do it well”....
If there was more than one Illinois, would they be called Illinoises or Illinoi?
Off the top of my head, I can’t think of a word in English that ends with “is” while being singular, only plurals and uncountables come to mind, so I can’t really follow the examples of other words. What makes it even weirder, I’m not sure how to pronounce Illinoises… Would it be as written, or as if an Illinois was...
Alexa should react to short, weird sounds like glottal stops
I think it’s silly to speak in full sentences to home assistants, when I really just use 5 commands most of the time....
