And in other news, what could become a new nail polish trend:
I do not like this.
“Center your pupils!”, I can hear my art teacher saying in my head.
I see what you mean, @anon33932455, it is quite similar to English.
If it made a few old folks happy for a hour what’s the harm?
That one has done the rounds here a few times. Still great though.
The tale begins last week, when chess champion Magnus Carlsen withdrew from a prominent game without any clear reason why.
Carlsen posted the tweet after being beaten in a match by his competitor, 19-year-old American grandmaster Hans Niemann. And it didn’t take long for Twitter to blow up with suspicions and theories. The leading theory—oddly enough—centered around the idea that Niemann had somehow used anal beads equipped with AI technology set to vibrate in order to cheat during the match.
Twitter wasn’t the only space where Niemann’s win was viewed with suspicion. Other chess champions viewed the unlikely win as a red flag, which made the drama quickly ramp up. Soon, the tale of the AI-enabled vibrating anal beads began to spread like wildfire, especially after Niemann admitted to cheating in previous matches.
When did chess become so exciting?
Was the defeat magnificent? Yes, he totally rectum.
This old chestnut, still? I’d have thought it died out with cathode ray tubes in consumer TV sets.
According to my granddad this was something they did (and got away with it) in the 1950ies…
Hey Sauron!
Leave them hobbits alone, tho, y’all.
