Celsius is also basically always accompanied by a ° when abbreviated. So much so that "℃" is a single Unicode character.

Fridges actually do rest. They cycle on and off as needed to maintain their desired temperature and on average only spend about 30% to 40% of their time "on".

The one that stuck with me is The Cask of Amontillado.

You have it backwards. Gold is extremely malleable and you can easily leave marks in pure gold by biting it.

Or the 00s-10s when everything had to be "HD".

Hell, current plant-based alternatives would be doing great too if they weren't inexplicably more expensive. Impossible Meat has a lower environmental impact and requires fewer resources to make than beef? Great! Why does it cost more then? I'm not even vegetarian but I'd happily switch to fake burgers if they weren't double the price.

Ah yes, typos are famously based on how things are pronounced.

If you're in a trench in wartime and fist sized object comes flying in from the direction of the enemy forces you're going to dive away from it and take cover. But then the thrown object turns out to be a can of food, not an explosive.

So how do you respond to the next thrown item? Do you still dive for cover?

The rational answer is "yes." The starving soldier desperate for a break from the fighting answer was not.

In contrast to the other user folders, the desktop is filled with program links that won’t even work anywhere else.

As someone who used to work in IT I wish that was the case. The desktop is a catch-all for basically anything that might momentarily enter a user's field of vision.

Application shortcuts, URL shortcuts, broken application and URL shortcuts, PDFs, images, a copy of their child's baby album, a folder that's just called "stuff" where all their actual work is saved, seven different copies of the same recipe for homemade pasta sauce, six empty files named "New Text Document", and a recycle bin full of things too important to delete.

But you can't put anything anywhere else, because they "have a system."

There was an episode that showed an alternate timeline where Wheeler refused the fire ring, so the planeteers were never able to summon Captain Planet and couldn't defeat the villains, so they ultimately went their separate ways but kept the rings.

Ma-ti is shown using the heart ring to essentially mug people, altering their minds to force them to give him money.

In a world where magic exists and anti-magic countermeasures are a thing do you think any reasonably powerful person wouldn't have them in place? It seems like you're trying to come across as ridiculous but all of those sounds like pretty reasonable precautions in a magical world.

As games get bigger and become more cinematic (and more expensive), there will be studios that grow and grow and then make big layoffs in a lull.

Do you think this doesn't already happen?
