The "store things in the recycle bin" people are the victims of a Lotus Notes-ism. The Trash folder in Notes was (is?) excluded from storage quotas, so some people started storing anything they wanted to keep there. Those people told other people to do the same without explaining why and it took on a life of its own as a technological fairy tale.

They probably meant append-only meaning existing entries can't be changed (for some value of "can't").

Most shells ignore setuid on scripts for security reasons.

Lone star tick bites can cause a condition called alpha-gal syndrome that makes you allergic to red meat.

I visited a former coal mine that's now a museum. If you take a tour, you get a small piece of coal to keep at the end.

I've tried Sterling's shampoo bars and I like them. You'll want to use conditioner with those. A friend of mine recommended Lush bars but I haven't had a chance to try them.
