We totally need cute critters as flight staff in every flight. A kittyo for good behaving passengers, and a leopard to eat the faces of unruly ones.
It comes out the way it went in π
Christians in 1st century: the world is ending very soon!
Muslims in 7th century: the world is ending very soon!
Mormons in 19th century: the world is ending very soon!
Given enough apocalyptic religions one of them would be right, but I think that religion doesn't exist yet.

Hack? It's not even that. Just musk in his infinite wisdom enabling pay-to-get-checkmark on Xitter so all the fake/satire accounts immediately jumped on the opportunity.
I see what you did there
I'm sad that a lot of people couldn't perceive the mastodon in the room.
Elsevier is a company that unashamedly turns grants straight into profits.
All according to keikaku.

Related to the Bunga Mas^1:
According to a Kedah source, the first time a bunga mas was sent, it was sent as a toy for a new-born Thai prince who was the grandson of Sultan of Kedah himself since his kin, a princess was married to the Thai king^1.
This then set the precedence of Malay Sultans being "required" one way or another to send Bunga Mas to Siam. The culmination of the meme is the Siamese invasion of Kedah in 1821^2 partly due to the Sultan ceasing sending bunga mas, making Kedah Sultanate, the progenitor of the practice, existn't for a time.
* This is a Malay expression meaning paying interests. The principal is the pokok (tree) and the interest is the bunga (blossoms).
I'm having my comments I made the past few days receive zero engagements. It's not just me losing the early bird lottery too; my replies to a highly engaged comment has zero likes, while several comments immediately after me has double digits. It's nothing incendiary at all, just normal people's comments. But something just tripped the enigmatic AI and thenceforth I'm shadow banned.
Why you should know this?
Because YouTube is being a thought police between creators and their communities. It feels to me like 99.999% of creators on YouTube have no idea that this is happening, that honest to goodness people's engagements are never going to reach them on the platform; they're being silently silenced, by an AI that is figuratively a black box.
Look at this screenshot. If that's not damning evidence you tell me what is.

The comment is straight up gone when viewing with a logged out tab. I'm definitely 100% shadow banned right now.

I believe the term for height from base is called prominence. The highest one can climb is Denali in Alaska, at around 5500m. Obviously omitting mountains that have their bases on the ocean floor like Mauna Kea ofc.
