This myth is very famous: “If you put a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will react quickly and jump out of the pot. However, if you put the same frog in a pot of cool water and put that pot on fire, the frog will not jump out. It’ll be there, floating quietly, feeling the water heat up, heat up, heat up little by little until it get boiled to death.”

The authorities have allowed the pot to heat up little by little since 2021.

Authorities are calling for the immediate arrest of the terrorists and for all buses chartered by the leaders of that putsch to be seized so that they cannot return home. Right-wing and moderate Bolsonarist politicians are disapproving the invasion.

Perhaps, @BakaNeko, you might make a topic dedicated to this? It seems like this might go on a while, and you are uniquely situated to provide news. Some @leaders could move the posts over?

How do you say “fuck around and find out” in Portuguese?

Good question. I don´t remeber if we have such colorful expression. We have something like “Try your luck”.

A crowd asking for federal intervention. The bald guy isn´t Lex Luthor, He is Justice Alexandre de Moraes, the guy behind the inquiry that investigates acts against democracy. For some reason Mr. Bolsonaro doesn´t like Him.

I believe it actually works the other way around but, you know, management gurus and facts and all that…

In fairness, @BakaNeko did write “myth.” This is a myth that happens to be false.

ETA: This is a disturbing part of the article, tbh:

In 1869, while doing experiments searching for the location of the soul, German physiologist Friedrich Goltz demonstrated that a frog that has had its brain removed will remain in slowly heated water, but an intact frog attempted to escape the water when it reached 25 °C.
