The button meme is a psyop to get all the sociopaths to out themselves

Obviously anybody who would push the red button is a sociopath so the government has been flooding Reddit and other online media with this meme over the past few weeks to trick all of the bad people in the world into self-identifying so they can round them up.

Drug companies faked a disappearing polymorph because the drug worked too well

In 1998 the wildly successful HIV drug ritonavir suddenly couldn't be made anymore. Drug companies claimed it was because of a rare chemical event called "disappearing polymorph" but it was really because the drug worked too well and the drug companies needed to get rid of it so patients would be forced to use less effective (but more expensive) alternatives.

Die Hard was an inside job.

Who is the real winner in all of this?

Holly Gennaro.

How did Hans Gruber and his gang know that there were hundreds of millions in Bearer bonds in the safe? That wouldn't have been common knowledge. Only senior executives would have that knowledge. Holly was a senior executive.

Who was Holly? She was a super ambitious employee. She says so, she wanted her douchy bosses office. Is it any coincidence that the two people directly abve her were shot dead by the bad guys?

Why invited John McClean? They weren't getting on. He was her cover story. It couldn't be her that tipped off the bad guys? She invited her cop husband to the party.

Holly's grubby plan was to tip off the thieves of the loot in the safe in exchange for eliminating her rise to the top of the organisation.

She conned us all.

Some leakers are hired/paid to leak unreleased content

i fully believe some leakers are paid to leak, especially for gacha games... obviously not all of them, but i think the ones that get got either aren't paid at all (likely imo) and that's why they got shut down, or were paid at least a few times and ran afoul of the terms of their contract (unlikely but 👀)

“Dark Mode” is being pushed by Big Printer

So many apps and computer things now have “dark mode” and it’s become quite trendy. But printing things like this uses a huge amount of ink or toner, boosting the profits of the printer people.

What killed hitchhiking? It was so normal in the 70’s & 60’s

why did hitchhiking die? it was so popular in the 60’s & 70’s

the concept of doing something for a stranger for FREE is so foreign now. Why did we change so much?

I had to get a ride from a mechanic to work. and I couldn’t Lyft to download

for one minute I thought “If hitchhiking was still a thing I’d literally save $20 and be at work fine”

NASA ran a "sex in space" experiment on Shuttle Flight STS-47 in 1992.

It almost certainly (like seriously 99.9999% chance) did NOT happen, everyone involved denies it, it's not the kind of thing you could really cover up given how non-classified NASA missions work, and honestly NASA would really have no reason to lie about it if it did happen but…

... astronauts Mark C. Lee and Jan Davis had sex in space for research purposes onboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor during mission STS-47 in 1992.

- Only married couple (as of this post) to ever go into space on the same flight. And the whole official story about "We didn't know they were married, then found out too late to change the mission" is super-weird.

- The actual stated mission of their shuttle flight was “the effect of weightlessness on biological systems.”

- That shuttle flight flew with an add-on laboratory (Spacelab-J) that was big enough to give a couple some space and privacy, as this happening on a normal shuttle flight with the space and privacy that affords would be laughable.

- Long term colonization and general “long term life in space” plans will have to acknowledge the existence of human sex as a part of normal life at some point and how that would work in low or no gravity is therefore a question that has to be asked and that means research into it will have to happen sooner or later. A "sex in space" study/experiment of some kind IS going to happen sooner or later and you almost have to ask WHY didn't NASA just do one on this mission since if they were going to do a sex in space experiment this is exactly how they would do it.

Social media is filled with videos of how dangerous London is in order to not attract obnoxious American tourists

Figures from 2023 showed that London's homicide rate was almost seven times lower than in Los Angeles, and four times lower than in New York. It was also lower than Berlin, but higher than Toronto.

But when you see London on social media it’s like cartel and mob violence all over the place, plus all the talks about religious groups walking around town creating rules and stuff. When I was in the US I met conservative people and they talked about London as if ISIS was in charge there, I just nodded because I don’t want them to come visit and get proved wrong. Then they will all come in flocks and I don’t need that at the pub

Red MAGA hats were directly inspired by Fred Durst

This is Fred Durst. Fred plays is in a band called Limp Bizkit. He was famous at the end of 20th century for wearing a red baseball cap, often worn backwards. The Trump administration were in awe at the marketability success of Fred Durst’s red cap. So much so that they were directly inspired to create the red MAGA cap in response.

YSK - your toothpaste may be causing canker sores in your mouth

If you get canker sores frequently and can’t figure out why, check your toothpaste ingredients. Many common brands contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), a foaming agent that helps toothpaste lather—but it can also irritate the soft tissues in your mouth.

For some people, SLS disrupts the protective lining of the oral mucosa, making it easier for canker sores (aphthous ulcers) to develop. This doesn’t affect everyone, but if you’re prone to recurring sores, it may be worth paying attention to.

Studies have shown that switching to an SLS-free toothpaste can reduce the frequency, severity, healing duration, and pain of canker sores in susceptible individuals.
Citation: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jop.12845

Why YSK - Canker sores are painful and frustrating, and many people don’t realize that something as routine as brushing your teeth could be contributing to them. Switching to a SLS free toothpaste is a simple change that may save someone a lot of discomfort.

There is no such thing as turbulence in aviation

Since the creation of autopilot decades ago, pilots have felt their jobs under threat, so every now and again they just give the controls quick shake to give them another reason to come on the intercom and remind the passengers they're there and that it seems they are required to take action so they seem more in control and indispensable than they really are.

Restaurants take your menus after ordering to cover up their mistakes

If you don't have a menu to compare what is placed in front of you with what you ordered, the waiter can just lie. This allows the kitchen to redistribute dishes as necessary when they make mistakes, reducing the expense of wasted ingredients & labor while avoiding accountability from the customer. Anyone who disagrees is just labeled as having a bad memory or being a Karen, since the customer has no evidence to refute the restaurant's claim.

My sandwich was delicious regardless, btw.

Youtube shorts conspiracy about shows

Isn't it crazy how clips of shows circulate on yt shorts RIGHT before the show gets a remake?

Like how Malcom in the middle wasn't talked about for so many years and then SUDDENLY went viral on yt shorts RIGHT before Life's still unfair? (Its remake) .OR.
How dexter went viral on youtube shorts in mid 2024 and we suddenly got the resurgence remake in 2025?

My guess is that big show pays big youtube to advertise their big shows

TLDR ; shows go viral on yt shorts right before their remakes
