OMG… I wouldn’t have got the joke if you hadn’t said that!

Operation Paperclip was a secret United States intelligence program in which more than 1,600 German scientists, engineers, and technicians were taken from former Nazi Germany to the U.S. for government employment after the end of World War II in Europe, between 1945 and 1959; some were former members of the Nazi Party.

p.s. also see Ministry of Space, an alternate history comic book in which the British grab all the scientists instead.

I was going to agree, but I haven’t had Brach’s candy corn in a while, every so often those large companies change the formula to make things cheaper* so it’s hard to be sure.

The youtube algorithm determined the following: people who watch the kind of videos in your history, are also interested in recording netflix shows. And it was right, because you are in fact interested in that (general) topic. This is another possible explanation.

So whoever carries that anime figure is literally Luciferian.

My BFF had this skill: whenever they sang an Elvis tune (like “Blue Moon”) their cats would start humping. They weren’t singing it weird, maybe a little more warbly than normal. Anyway, we were in this zoo once, and I said, “I wonder if that lion would react to your Elvis songs the same way your cats do!” I was just kidding, but my BFF started singing the same way and that lion suddenly became VERY alert and stared right at us. I started wondering if a properly motivated lion could leap that gap that was keeping us separated, and what I would do if it reached us. Anyway, my point is: it depends on how you sing it.

Mr Auld-Thomas and his colleagues named the city Valeriana after a nearby lagoon.

…

It is “hidden in plain sight”, the archaeologists say, as it is just 15 minutes hike from a major road near Xpujil where mostly Maya people now live.

This archeologist just discovered a Maya city, and they decided to call it “Valeriana” (in the language of the conquistadors) insted of something like “Xpujil” (in the language of the people who still live there.)

They’re not thinking big enough. They should call it “openai.com” and go for corporate sponsorship!

Local kids probably hang out there. “Hey, do you know of any ruins nearby?” “Uh… no, maybe over in the other direction…”

Found the one I was thinking of:

Turns out there are plenty of examples of people taking body pillows on a date.

I was gonna finish with “…an ANGEL OF DEATH!!!” and start to air guitar. If she does the intro scream, she’s a keeper.

I coulda sworn I saw a similar one where the guy took his Pokemon card out on a date.

“Keep my wife’s spaghetti out of your mouth!”

“They must have clipped off your wings, because you look like an angel.”

The 2nd latest thing I saved was a comic from the Library of Congress archive that I cleaned up to post on !truecomics@midwest.social:

I suspect the thought process was more contemptuous than sinister. Like: “the voice actors are getting fan mail?!? HA!”

Here’s the original twitter post via an interface:

Man I would not mess with anime fans. The guy voiced Hannes on AoT, and the meme potential is frightening.

It is a period of brain maturation, learning about intimacy and mutual support, intensification of pre-existing friendships, family-oriented socialization, and the attainment of those social skills that are needed for mating and reproduction.

Awesome, thanks!

Hey so what is this cognitive development that I may have missed out on? I tried googling but nothing comes up. Can you point me to some reading about this? Or some term to search for? Thanks.

Sorry fam I didn’t mean it that way, I’ve just learned to be suspicious.
