Be careful with linseed oil as it spontaneously combusts! My friend used it on something and left the rag in the garage, and it literally burnt their house down.

I started learning how to program when I asked myself how I could setup one web page template and include the content instead of copying the menus and logos on every page. Most people will never be observant enough to consider this might be how most big websites function, or how/why they would develop anything. There's a tall gate that some people just walk right over.

To them a vacuum is probably a soul sucking machine that traps the scents of the people he loves into an invisible void.

At 5pm somebody once added an email that had an auto responder to a distribution list that was used in a lot of places. As I'm eating my dinner my phone is getting blown up because everything is suddenly getting spammed with delivery failures because the auto responder was getting blocked from blasting everybody on the distribution list. I was like, I'm sorry you've fabricated an urgent situation after hours but I'm gonna eat my chicken now.

And what are zoom employees using from the office to sell their product? Why no other than a fine Zoom call, from our desk to yours!

My parents thought MSN messenger would store all conversation logs even if I turned that feature off. They ended up paying somebody to scan the hard drive for something that didn't exist.

Because any time I've seen somebody subscribe to Hello Fresh they are at a low point in life and nobody wants to be them or take advice from them. My roommate did it probably 3 years ago and for a year he would just stack up the boxes in the kitchen without even throwing away the ice packs. When he finally did clean it all up the kitchen table was completely warped from all the leaked ice packs. It's literally a subscription for TV dinners so it's marketing to people who are too lazy or depressed to go to the store and buy 10 Lean Cuisines.

And really it's nonsense. If we wanted to be on Facebook then we already would be. Meta coming in and telling everyone how to run their instances because a Facebook user might see their content, won't bode well.

Your first mistake is setting a minimum expectation for a Meta product. They've not promised it will do any of that and they already have you thinking it will based on nothing but rumor.

The cereal and juice aisles have been doing this for decades.
