Honestly off the top of my head I wouldn't know that the Niger is Africa's third longest river, so I'm glad they call it that, since it makes the whole story more interesting than just an arbitrary river doing a weird thing.

Besides.. it gives it that clickbatey touch of " oooh, i wonder what's tge third longest river in africa! Better pause and check the article!"

Oh, so they can't get autonomous driving to work, thus the next step is to get people who are sleeping to steer the cars remotely

Unfortunately I cannot find it anywhere online. It doesn't help that there is no brand name on it ;)

EDIT: The product is http://milebv.eu/index.php/products/product/25 (thanks to @rbn@sopuli.xyz for finding it!)

I used to buy this at a local vegan store (veganz at Warschauerstr in Berlin), but that store closed a while ago.

It was the most amazing mock duck I've had, but now I can't find it anywhere else. All I have is this picture (I don't even remember why I took it, probably to tell someone how amazing it is).

As far as I recall the product was made in Taiwan, not sure if that helps.

Of course, any other suggestions for tasty mock duck are welcome too, since I just love this stuff 😋

Heresy! Australia will always be a planet.

Is this a painting, or actual fruit?

If fruit, how long did it last until the apples turned brown?

Sounds like gifting

On the other hand, a more flexible car could get you out of a traffic jam more easily

Reminds me of that Atlantropa plan. The idea was to drain most of the Mediterranean sea to create new land between Europe and Africa. Some German guy came up with it in the 1920s and spent like 20 years trying to convince people it's a great idea and totally doable. Unfortunately everyone was busy with other stuff back then...

The only winning move is to cook a nice curry, because plain rice is just boring.

It's like if farmers were just letting plants do all the work, instead of manually assembling the potatoes themselves

I can't recall a time when I wasn't lost in the inner solar system. Currently I'm stuck on the third dot - how do I proceed?

The picture shows today's XKCD comic.

Transcript:

[A grayed-out sentence in the Times New Roman font reads "Optimistic aliens measure space typographically". The "O" in "Optimistic" is dark black and indicated as representing the Sun (not to scale). The dots of the letters "i" in the sentence are similarly dark black. The dot in the first "i" in "Optimistic" is indicated as representing Mercury; the dot in the second "i" represents Venus; the dot in the third "i" represents Earth. The dot in the "i" in "aliens" is indicated as representing Mars. The dot in the "i" in "typographically" is indicated as representing Jupiter. A measurement bar indicates that the distance between the "O" and the third "i" in "Optimistic" is equivalent to 1 AU (astronomical unit).]

[Caption below the panel:] 
Space tip: if you're ever lost in the inner Solar System, you can just type out the phrase "Optimistic aliens measure space typographically" in Times New Roman and use the dots as a map.
