The Valentine's Day thread reminded me of this site, which is absolutely odd and often adorkable.

For instance:

This is simply brilliant.

Two links today:

The Trappist-1 site, now that they've found a solar system with seven Earth-sized planets. You've probably heard of this one by now, but it's still cool as hell.
An AP News article originally titled "Teen suicide attempts fell as same-sex marriage became legal". Also cool as hell.

Geez, @WTFE, be more careful.

A man from Shaanxi was shocked to learn that the "nutcracker" he has been using for the last 25 years was actually an old hand grenade.

Another said: "It's more stable than a Samsung phone."

WTFE

OK, that was actually really funny.

Why Logan Worked So Much Better Than The Wolverine, According To The Writer.

The quote in question (spoilers free):

"We didn't have to connect it to any larger 'universe.' Or as Jim keeps saying, 'we didn't have to sell Happy Meals.' And so that was great. Whereas, the last one, my favorite part is where he's in the middle of rural Japan and with this woman and being a human being and feeling what it's like to be a human being. But we're not there very long before we're back to giant robots and stuff. And then it becomes just another superhero movie with a lot of CG stuff. And we were trying to avoid that this time around and the studio had changed studio heads and they were very much into the idea of trying something new, because otherwise what's the point? The only way these movies have value is if they become about something else. They can't all about saving the world."

Cracked.com is touch and go, but some of their work such as Superman being a complete dick has been really funny.

A coworker just sent me this:

What really, really stupid thing will internet-people bitch about next, you ask?

Wonder Woman's armpits!

@Arkandel Eh, can't say I disagree with them.

I don't disagree either, but it's somewhat silly to get up in arms over.

Which quoted fan comments from that article were "up in arms," exactly? Like, is complaining at all about it being "up in arms?" The complaints quoted were pretty tame and mostly sounded long-suffering to me. (Like: "Ah yes, yet again the woman magically bereft of body hair in the situation where she would totally have it. We meet again.")

I only skimmed the article on my fly-by as I go through evening stuff. My fault for taking from Arkandel's tone that people were getting angry over it.
