The Assorted "WTF, 2020?" Thread

Wait, wait, I’ve seen this movie

I would hope Yahweh would have made separate accommodations with sentient beings on another world. But he seems a capricious fellow, so who knows.

He? Even us Jews (well, non-Orthodox at least) have changed the pronouns in the prayer book to be non-gendered! But, yeah, They sure are a bit inconsistent!

HEY LIZARD OVERLORDS, ENOUGH WITH THE SIMULATION ALREADY!

workers at the Merseyside attraction say they have spotted the primates armed with knives, screwdrivers and even a chainsaw. Keepers have become suspicious in recent weeks that the baboons are being armed with weapons “for a laugh” by visitors keen to enhance their car-destroying abilities.

I feel like Limbo would end up being a pretty weird place. Dante would have seen the few hundred thousand noble pagans from Earth who were not sinful but were ignorant of Christ, plus several hundred trillion Klackons, a couple dozen machine collective consciousness, a couple of energy-entity civilizations, a few crystalline beings, etc. etc.

C.S. Lewis’s Space Trilogy takes that approach.

I think the idea is you give them $10 of coins, you get $10 bill+ free food.

ah, bad search tools, never change (HAHA CHANGE, GET IT?)

Ya, from the article:

A Chick-fil-A in Lynchburg, Va., will provide coupons for a free entree for every $10 in rolled coins that guests provide, in addition to the same value in cash, according to the store’s Facebook post. Each guest is limited to 10 coupons maximum.

I would say that’s a wrap on July 2020, but we have 3.5 more days left so . . . yeah.

Yes, I’m just making a joke of the phrasing.

Guess money really is limited, after all.

My pocket of far too much random change is still worth… basically nothing.

Though I’ll do my part and try to pay exact change for a while.
