I feel like if your pizza oven didn't come from "The Middle Of Lidl", you're not really experiencing the fundamental pizza oven culture.

Really because art doesn't exist in a vacuum. Art is influenced by the culture in which it is created.

Are you seriously trying to argue that a man with unprecedented godlike powers from another world isn't an allegory.

You assume an Antarctic research facility lacks funds?

Absolutely stupid example because that kind of assumes medical professionals have the same standard as Elon Musk.

No we don't know. We are not AI researchers after all. Nonetheless I'm more inclined to defer to experts then you. No offence, (I mean there is some offence, because this is a stupid conversation) but you have no qualifications.

There's loads of British stuff in the museum. All of Darwin's collections for one thing, plenty of artwork, lots of mediaeval and Roman finds, the famous dinosaur fossil collection, there's quite a bit of masonry in there from the Great fire of London.

Also a lot of stuff is from other countries but is on loan, such as all the Egyptian stuff.

There's a lot of unfounded stupid conspiracy theories but the thing about stupid conspiracy theories, is that they're stupid.

I love that they've concocted a conspiracy that literally only they can possibly care about.

If it were true, literally no one else would care. The average member of the public probably doesn't even know what they're talking about, has never seen them, and has no particularly strong opinions on them.

Negotiations between Athens and the British Museum began in 2021.

Ah, so it's not a secret evil Labour plot then. This critical piece of information is several paragraphs down in the article, talk about burying the lead.

Doesn't Scotty say aye aye all of the time?

Everyone has at least one friend who's just got a traditional wood fire pizza oven and is insisting on using it.

Not everyone can pull off a wig.

Maybe we could install a murder mode switch.

Perhaps an algorithm where its effectiveness is inversely proportionate to your bank account.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
