Thanks for your participation. Everyone gets 20 points.

For context, "weird sun twitter" tends to reference and play with memes from what one might call the lesswrongosphere (for lack of a better term). I was trying to figure out how much of it, if any, translates to the outside. Clearly an online poll with one question and N=4 was the best way to approach this scientifically.

Damnit, this is the second time this week that I've been just too late to get Sigma points.

My answer was C, and Solar Pembra was my first guess for who made the one of the ironbite/ironchew copies.

You get retroactive points for answering anyway. But only 19, because inflation.

Sweet!

On an unrelated note, this was in my local news today (emphasis added):

Quote
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A south side Indianapolis gas station had a police presence Saturday afternoon because of a person found dead in a car.

However, the death is not believed to be suspicious.

The person was found in a silver Honda car near Keystone and Hanna avenues. Officials with Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said the person appeared to suffer a medical emergency before dying.

They believe that the person who died in their car suffered a medical emergency?  What was their first clue?

Wouldn't bullet holes also constitute a medical emergency?

Ok, I just came across a story about some kid who got shot by cops, but I can't find a trustworthy-looking source.

Does this look legit to everyone?

A shooting-by-cop definitely happened in Gretna. A Google News search of "Gretna Police" reveals that. Whether all of the other details are true, who can say? Me, I'm inclined to believe them, but then, I'm biased.

I just discovered that looking through the feedback on my Ebay account is quite a lovely ego boost. You buy a few things and assuming you don't do something dumb like try to not pay for them, your feedback page turns into your own personal cheer squad.

Also, I'm kind of pissing away my precious, precious battery life right now, but it just feels so damn good to type with a proper keyboard. My fat bastard fingers and a phone touchscreen aren't exactly the most efficient combination in the world.

I just found a link to something kind of funny.  A bit preachy for my tastes, though.

I found a manga that is set in a maaagical world, not totally unlike ours, but different in that the people there have animal ears (they also have human ears. So two sets of ears, dog ears on top of their heads and human ears on the sides of their heads. ...Japan.) and the other major difference is that the people there are not opposed to samesex marriages.

I think it says something about Japan when an artist can't write a cute, romantic story about a married lesbian couple unless it is set in a fantasy world. (GOUHOU YURI FUUFU HON, "Legally Married Yuri Couple")

Homophobia exists in Japan, it just tends to take on different forms.
