NYPD got caught doing it to a cop who was whistle blowing in the late 00s.

Common misconception, they’re not only heads, they actually do have bodies. They indeed don’t have legs, but they can walk!

I'm convinced that 90% of the people who think AI is amazing just never learned how to properly use office software. I saw someone insisting that it was amazing AI could send letters to hundreds officials all across the state to advocate for removing Flock cameras, saving them the time of doing each one individually. You have never heard of form letters? You think every letter you get from Chase Bank has someone typing it?? Did they just give up on teaching this shit to kids?

The stereotype isn't that all UPS guys are gay, it just came from a time when there weren't a lot of legal protections in the US for gay employees and UPS had a good nondiscrimination policy for the time. So a lot of queer people ended up working for UPS for a while in, I want to say the 90s and 00s? Just basing this off personal memory. Same reason there's the stereotype of the gay flight attendant, Delta was another company that had a good nondiscrimination policy back in the day.

He looks very polite!

My husband forgets food if it doesn't beep (ADHD). I am hypersensitive to the loud screeching the microwave makes to announce food is done (autistic). We compromise by leaving the beep on and he either gets it before it starts another round or I flee to safety (or get it myself if I'm near it, but I'm usually not).

There's a reason there's the stereotype of the fit gay UPS guy (if you didn't know this stereotype, now you do). Walking around all day and carrying heavy shit makes you FIT

I got curious and tried to look up all the different religious emojis. After Judaism (with 14.8 million Jewish people per Wikipedia), from what I can tell the next smallest religion with an emoji is Sikhism, with the khanda: 🪯 Wikipedia says there are 25-30 million Sikhs, so I guess somewhere between ~15 and 25 million? Big hurdle for an upstart religion to overcome.

Although that doesn't seem to have helped the Mormons, who have ~17 million followers. But I also don't know of any special symbols they have outside ones shared by other Christians (like crosses).

One of my siblings actually got repeatedly in trouble because my parents weren't dropping her off early. This was in elementary school. Some of the buses didn't even get there by the time she wanted them there (10 minutes before the morning bell rang). The school 'solved' the situation by moving my sister to a different class. Which I guess did solve it for my sister, but I still have no idea how the school decided that was a normal thing to tell children 10 and under to do??

They've done experimental archaeology to confirm this is physically possible, even if it turns out that's not how they did it.

I suppose they're technically archaepronouns, given their age

I don't know anyone personally that has actually read the whole series, including myself.

I think I have? There might be a side book or two I missed, I think I only read one of the choose your own adventure ones. But I read the main series all the way to the end and the ‘main’ side stories (Hork-Bajir Chronicles, etc). I enjoyed the hell out of it as a kid, it definitely influenced a lot of my anti-war feelings.
