But is it gluten free?
The relief at that realization happened, now we’re on to the ignorance and fear.

Well, that was more, um, varied than I expected. Surprised none of these are on the BB Christmas Guide. Maybe the Valentines Day list? (Along with the obligatory 55 gallon drum of lube.)
Bad Dragon gets mentioned on both the blog and in the BBS pretty often.
They’re all handmade with 10% more luv than the next leading brand.

As a satisfied (cough) customer, I recommend pretty much any of their products. Please make note of the soda-can reference photos however; their toys can be large.

yes and no? When the whole magnets thing waas being laughed at, there was a follow-up article that pointed out that, really, the scientific community really says “erm…” when trying to explain magnetism.
I cannot find the BB article back, however. Perhaps it was a comment?

Well, not really contradictory. Just that we know how magnets work and it’s not easy to explain. Lots of things are like that (like ‘how do ants work’)
The veritasium video posted above has the benefit of having pictures to keep people from getting lost.

Or, “contrary to experience”
Oh no, I’m excellent at being wrong! Quite skilled and experienced at it, well practiced even!
It’s one of the most pleasant things to be surprised by in the world. Once you embrace and digest it it’s like a free level-up!
How often do we get opportunities like that?
The objection to the ICP song is that it was a religious argument from ignorance. If ICP doesn’t understand it, then it is a “miracle”. Magnets? Miracle. Newtonian Mechanics? Miracle. Water evaporation? Miracle.

Well, I can’t fault their sense of wonder at the universe. But their utter lack of curiosity does disappoint me. “That’s really fuckin’ cool shit, ninja. But I don’t give a FUCK how it works. NOBODY KNOWS, and that’s cool. We’re surrounded by FUCKING MIRACLES WHOOP WOOP!”
