Less obligatory but still timely

Counteroffer: We'll take Nunavut in exchange for Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.

One, you'll have us nearly surrounded; two, they're far enough away that you don't have to risk any of the pre-existing populace actually coming into your country, and three, you get a whole stretch of oceanfront property, and we don't have to let them muck up our electoral college anymore. And all we want in exchange is a nigh-uninhabitable stretch of ice and bragging rights that we're indisputably bigger than China, which is for some reason the only thing the incoming administration cares about anyway. If that's not enough we're willing to throw in a couple of the Virgin Islands.

He has the kavorka!

I understand there is a species of blind fish living in a cave nearly a mile beneath the Yucatán peninsula that scientists believe might not be racist, but research is still ongoing.

Lisan al Haribo!

Kryptoday is Kryptober Krypteenth

Come again Kryptomorrow for the next date

it's an old dwarvish expression

Yeah I never heard anyone say "won't someone think of Osama bin Laden's, like, 30 fukken kids?" Genghis Khan had so many goddam kids that we're still finding bits of Mongol warlord genome stuck in random places like it's craft glitter. Fuckin' Leopold II had four kids, went off to make people-hand soup down in the Congo, and then had three more kids while he was doing it! This is not necessarily an indicator of virtue, folks!

I’m still not entirely sold on the fact that the Star Wars universe has suburbs

On the other hand, I remain amused to no end that the Star Wars universe is such a rundown hellhole that their idealized paradise of eternal treasure and prosperity is... a mid-century modern house with a white picket fence at the end of a cul-de-sac, and a stable 9-5 accounting job with a decent dental plan.

I have successfully overcome "pressure" with "freddie mercury and david bowie". The chain continues.

The game itself is, you know, fine. Anything powered by a large language model is inevitably gonna have some holes in it, and boy is this thing is making a lotta bad calls.

But I am consistently delighted by the little number that tells me how many other people guessed the stupid thing I guessed. 63 other people guessed that soap could be defeated by the "soap-eater"! And then someone else has already defeated that with poison soap! And upon defeating poison soap with antidote, yet another has already tried to defeat antidote with grapefruit juice! Which was, unfortunately, rejected by one of the aforementioned "bad calls", but what can you do.

I was equally unsuccessful in suggesting that Morlocks could beat Time Machine, even though they did partially dismantle one. Tell you what does, though: T-Rex.
