"There’s A Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Exploit That Helps You Generate Shinies"
I didn't read the article, but I feel immeasurably richer from having read the title alone.

Dr. Anthony Fauci has an H-index of 221, (in medicine greater than 50 or above is highly accomplished, more than 100 is extraordinary and more than 200 is stratospheric, achieved by less than 100 scholars in the world).
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I have yet to test the theory, but I grabbed the info booklet concerning my Best Buy Visa card when I was picking something up recently, and killing time this morning, I took a look at it. I thought it was a Visa that could only be used at Best Buy, but if I'm reading things right, it's also a regular Visa that I can use anywhere. Holy shit. I'm in trouble now.

George ‘Goober’ Lindsey was Gene Roddenberry’s first choice to play Spock on TOS.

American poet Hart Crane committed suicide at the age of 32 by jumping off a cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico without a life saver. In a stunning bit of real-world irony, Crane's father had invented Life Savers Candy twenty years earlier.

Don't think that one stands up to scrutiny, the earliest source was likely intended as humor.
"Believe it or not, I was not Gene Roddenberry’s first choice to play Spock. So, who was the first choice, the actor who turned down the role? George “Goober” Lindsey. True." -Leonard Nimoy
In the same TVLand series of 'bumpers', Nimoy claims 'Live long and prosper' was originally supposed to be 'Take it easy'. In another, Nimoy uses a tricorder to scan for cheese.
Too bad, it's a great story.
