@lowqualityfacts if the contractions happen close together, do new humans spawn instead?

@lowqualityfacts this is only because the walrus is travelling backwards through time. Some became uncredited consultants on the film Tenet as a result.

@lowqualityfacts he’s normally so stoic. What was it that made the bat cave?

@lowqualityfacts I originally thought the plasma came from owls to get the better brightness (given their better vision) compared to LCD screens (acronym derived from Liver Chromatic Dependency, for which human liver cells were engineered to output less costly, but murkier colours)

@lowqualityfacts this is only part of the story and one that was misrepresented in a well known Far Side comic. Boneless chickens were an accidental discovery when investigating water-based chicken egg farming. Subsequent mutations devolved into a water-based, boneless chicken. There are no known wild variants of this chicken as they are kept under wraps to avoid devolution protestors. Advantages of this method: 3 dimensional, high density farming using water tanks, ease of processing at the factory and higher yield due to lack of water-borne viruses for chickens. Another accidental discovery happened after one of the tanks overheated: pre-cooked boiled eggs in supermarkets, ready to eat for the consumer.

@lowqualityfacts Slightly related: the Statue of Liberty marks the (0,0,0) location for the homing beacon for the Earth’s freedom transmitter. This is why New York is the base of operations in the MiB films and why aliens tend to target the statue when they arrive on earth.

@lowqualityfacts Also where the phrase “white knuckles” originates. An indication of high stress on the body.

@anniebluefos @Krisss First attempt at AltText for this amazing photo. On the right, a wintry sun shines across a peaceful river, snaking down from the hills through snow-covered riverbanks. A lone tree points up to the front of a storm rolling across the landscape from the left. The sun's calm is about to be broken and the chill of winter rain about to descend.

@lowqualityfacts Notwithstanding the implied tagline “what a waist”, I am sure of the veracity of this statement. Any funded review would have come up with an answer approximating: “Initial findings on the direct assertion are inconclusive, but show incremental advertising click through/ revenue generation. Recommend provision of further funding to review of effects on wider populace of subject’s hips and benchmark in relation to other hips, with a view to determining if subject’s hips’ truthfulness has impact on revenue/sales.”Sadly autocorrect intervened in the actual funding request once again and the researcher is now knee-deep in sub-Saharan Africa, benchmarking hippos and their respective truth.

@lowqualityfacts Great point. Interestingly, Monaco is the source of all Monarchy and related titles. Princes pay for title (“a princely sum”) whereas Dukes are conferred through paid bouts/fisticuffs (“duking it out”). The exception to this is the Grand Vizier, who obtains titles based on their own grounds through stealth, cunning and a penchant for enacting sudden death sentences / paragraphs (where required).

@lowqualityfacts Under the four eyes principle for account verification, verification only works for insects with compound eyes and for people with glasses (any drink will do). The design also has some flaws. Eg the chaos induced by the butterfly effect creating seemingly random user verifications. This is why butterflies are not welcome on most servers and are akin to rogue bots.

@lowqualityfacts Just so I understand this: Asians, naturally adept at the game “Marco Polo”, were effectively cut out of Olympic swimming medals when the sport was dropped between 1271 and 1863. This led to a centuries-long medal drought as they had heavily concentrated in that sport.

@lowqualityfacts I thought moonshine was butt polish. Who knew?
