Fritz Haber inventing chlorine gas and modern fertilisers a few years apart is like some Effective Altruist thought experiment

It’s horrifying to me that history’s most barbaric forms of cruelty against women (foot binding, FGM) were always inflicted by mothers on their daughters

🇨🇳🚨 Pendant 1 000 ANS en Chine, on casse les orteils des petites filles pour garder leurs pieds MINUSCULES, au nom de la BEAUTÉ ! Dès 5 ou 6 ans, on leur casse les orteils et on les replie sous le pied, serrés dans des bandes de soie. Le pied idéal mesure environ 7,5 cm, on l'appelle le « lotus d'or ». La dernière usine de chaussures pour ces pieds ferme en 1999. (Smithsonian)

There will never, ever be an end to Bibi. Benjamin Netanyahu will outlast the state of Israel itself.

Not the weirdest thing about this photograph, but anyone who has watched the show knows that Columbo never carries a gun.

I am intrigued by African Buddhist temples. I would like to know more.

Uganda is the most interesting case... A Ugandan studying in India coverted to Buddhism, then independently brought it home in 2006. The first temple got blown down 3 years later. There's now three different facilities and it seems to be quite successful.

Ben-Gvir has vowed to “feed prisoners to the Rancor” if re-elected. Should this fail to subdue the Palestinians, he plans to drive out into the desert on a skiff and personally oversee them being “flung into the Sarlacc Pit”

“Netenyahu boasts that a Hamas member escaped from prison, but was recaptured trying to jump the border fence on a motorcycle, and is now stoically throwing a baseball at the wall of his prison cell.”

Incredible to think the confusion is over “lemonade” rather than whatever the fuck “tequila soda” is
John Greene@HotBoiGreenyOct 25
At a bar ordering a drink from a British bartender Me: “Can i get a tequila soda, splash of lemonade?” Bartender: “uhh what do you mean, like sprite?” Me: “no tequila soda with lemonade” Bartender: “I’m confused what you want” Does lemonade not exist in England?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The British brand R Whites is one of the oldest lemonade brands in the world having been founded in 1845 and first producing lemonade between 1845-1855 rwhites.co.uk

It's easier than ever to get off the beaten track. Hire a motorbike in Vietnam, Thailand or India and disappear into the countryside. Accommodation and navigation have never been easier. Most people don't do this because they don't actually want adventure. They want a holiday.

I decided to give it a sense of touch and movement by giving it control of an knock-off Roomba I had in a cupboard. Now I can watch Claude scurrying around my living room. Making weird noises. Bumping into things. Like my adopted disabled child.

I gave Claude control of my scanner. Hearing the scanner move on its own accord, and realising that Claude now had an eye to see, gave me a strange sense of having brought the AI further into the physical realm

Every affair I’ve learned about IRL, the mistress has been less conventionally attractive than the wife. A friend said that one of the most shocking and upsetting things was finding out how ugly the woman her fiancé cheated with was.

“Diversity” in Britain has a similar role to “the war with Japan” and “the revolution” in China

Have you ever been in a workplace, and someone makes a remark that could get reported to HR, and people who hear it stiffen and go quiet, watching to see how everyone else reacts? When you're talking to Chinese people and bring up a Bad topic, that's kind of how they react.

I always like when Sci-Fi resolves “spooky future problems” with simple and obvious solutions. “How do we know who is a real human? Simple: all the holograms have a big H on their forehead” “How do we stop robots overthrowing us? Simple: they only live for four years”

NGE has a touch of this - the Evas can’t go rogue because they need to be plugged in.
