It turns out, someone had dumped 45 metric tons of lodestone at Coonskin Park, skewing all the compasses in the area. They broke up the lodestone and shipped it to North Carolina, and lo and behold, all the compasses started working again. Changing the sign was too costly after paying to move the lodestone.

    Previously, it was hard to discuss these shades of green with your non-drinking or uncultured friends.

    "yeah the frog was this really unique shade of green. Say, have you ever been to Aiguenoire? No? Well the monks make this liqueur there. Oh, you don't drink? You don't know what liqueur is? It's like hard liquor but cut with sugar. Anyways. The monks make this beverage that's like neon green and the frog reminded me of that. Oh, yeah, neon. Like the green signs? Made with tube lights? "

    I agree. The algorithm wants you constantly putting out annoying shit to keep their audience hooked. At first you are creative! Monetizing your hobby! Soon you have a hole on your resume, a demanding schedule, a soulless algo, a capricious audience you must grow... Yeah I think I'd take corporate life over being a streamer or whatever.

    Its even eaten traditional creative careers. Writers and artists must be online content creators above all else.
