That's fine! After you read it, you came away with what exactly? If I may ask you to provide a sentence or two

Well, to be specific I don't believe absurdism is as much of a hot topic as it used to be. The book is fine, I'm just saying that it isn't a "must read", in my opinion.
Like, just throwing it out there - I think that Of Mice and Men is a better read. Personal opinion.

In one sense the book was more appropriate for the time it was published, not as much now I think.

Reply to comment by jcracken in TIL the legendary story about a janitor who came up with Flamin' Hot Cheetos was a lie. by Station_Emotional
Gotcha. Ok hard to know who to believe in that case, but I suppose the one to take credit could be seeking glory over the person who really did it, totally plausible

The company could possibly be pulling a legal maneuver, by denying his credit. Usually, companies "own" anything developed by employees. I wouldn't put it past them to deny this, to save for potential lawsuit that could develop right?

It's a fair critique - I don't really keep up with things. I just assumed it wasn't popularly accepted, but it appears I was wrong. It's accurately rated!

Reply to TIL researchers found that the global average temperature from 19,000 to 23,000 years ago was about 46 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s about 11 degrees Fahrenheit (6 degrees Celsius) colder than the global average temperature of the 20th century, per a University of Michigan statement. by Embarrassed-Mouse-49
That's pretty cool

PSA: If you're cold they're cold! Bring your goths inside during colder weather. Lay out a freshly slain goat by the fireplace so they have something familiar to nibble on while they adjust to the new surroundings. Maybe play some Mastodon on low volume
