There's a variation of Pop Goes the Weasel:

"All around the cobbler's bench The monkey chased the weasel; The monkey thought 'twas all in fun, Pop! Goes the weasel."

So the monkey is the victim of the popping by the weasel for being chased. I'm not sure if there's a deeper meaning to the mulberry bush though.

That would require redefining the second or no longer linking the day with the rotation of the Earth.

Some cultures do/did count to 12 on their fingers using their thumb as a pointer and counting the spaces between their knuckles. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duodecimal#Origin

12 is a superior highly composite number, which means it's easier to divide without running into fractions or decimals.

It does exist, see qbitorrent and similar apps. Torrents already fill the usecase you've defined: decentralized sharing of arbitrary files. The main problems being the central exchange and the need for seeders.

The bigger the central exchange (torrent tracker) the more susceptible you are to both internal and external threats, but you need to be big because bigger means more seeders and more content.

Would've seen it coming if you sat in front of a mirror.

Raspberry Pi 4 is already four years old?

Wikipedia says June 2019, it really has been four years.

Are you talking about SMS? Why do you worry about the character limit? Aren't you going to use the same amount of messages regardless of if you break it up or not?

Yes, the image is correct, but I think theUnlikely was refering to the text "Capitalism exists by selling the value you produce for less than your labor costs."

It's backwards, it should be the value you (the laborer) produce is sold for more than than your labor costs.

Yes. This is the community re-adding it as a plugin.
