5 years: pay what it costs now

It doesn't cost anything to copyright something. You just automatically own the copyright to something you create.

(This may vary outside the US; I'm not familiar with international copyright law.)

Only a 2% yearly increase?!? Are you serious? I lived in an apartment for 8 years, and my ending rent was 70% higher than my starting rent. By your number, it should have ended up only about 15% higher.

Well, if Musk said it, it must be true. /s

You're thinking of imaginary numbers. Irrational numbers are real numbers that have an infinite number of decimal places and don't repeat.

"Thong" can mean a type of sandal, also known as flip-flops, but it's also the name of a type of underwear or swimsuit bottom that's basically a string in the back.

I grew up calling flip flops "thongs", but as I got older, people were almost exclusively using that term for the underwear, so I switched terms to avoid confusion.

500 pages seems a bit much. In only 8 lines, it can be "proven" that 1 = 2.

cross stitch design of a proof that 1 = 2.

/s, of course.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a medical intervention justified by observational data must be in want of verification through a randomised controlled trial.

This was a great read. Thanks.

That depends on how you define breasts. From Wikipedia:

The platypus' mammary glands lack teats, with milk released through pores in the skin. The milk pools in grooves on the mother's abdomen, allowing the young to lap it up.

Because eating less doesn't require any effort.

Eating less takes a lot of effort for me because if I eat until I feel reasonably full, it's actually too much food, and I gain weight. If I'm maintaining my weight, then I'm constantly hungry. If I'm losing weight, I feel like I'm starving.

I used to be pretty thin, even slightly underweight. Then I went on a medicine for a few months, and it completely ruined my appetite. I'm currently on a medicine for something unrelated that happens to curb my appetite, and it's the only reason I'm not severely overweight.
