Don't worry, the same thing happened to Homer Simpson. Presumably, it could happen to anyone.

No, you see, it's only antisemitism when you oppose genocide.

If physics taught you that 1 = pi, you may want to retake some classes.

If you were as confused by this as I was:

Shortly after the vote, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said it would sue the FTC to block the rule

The US Chamber of Commerce is a right-wing lobbying group for businesses, unrelated to the US Department of Commerce which is an actual government agency.

No, sorry. Ethically, this technology can only be used for torture.

Meanwhile, in the US, going 74 mph in a 25 and killing someone? No consequences as long as you're a cop.

No, that's the point of the comment you're responding to. It's painfully obvious that the bugs have no way to fling asteroids into the Earth, and the only "evidence" that it was the bugs is in-universe propaganda.

You can make the most over-the-top satire in the world, and people still won't get it.

One of my favorite lines in the game is (paraphrasing):

The problem with the bugs is that they're relentless expansionists. We've found them on almost every planet in their territory that we've colonized.

It's also pretty clear that we've been farming the bugs for space oil.

Works even better in Ruby, as the code as given is valid, you just need to monkey patch length:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

module DayLength
  def length
    if ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"].include? self
      "24 hours"
    else
      super
    end
  end
end

class String
  prepend DayLength
end

day = "Monday"

x = day.length

print(x)
