20 years ago today, July 14, 2005, I created "Link finds a WTF" on YTMND, later becoming better known today on the Internet after it took on a life of its own as "WTF BOOM!".
To commemorate this 20th anniversary, I've remastered my original WTF BOOM! YTMND in 4k. #ytmnd #wtfboom

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.
Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

Launch day copies of Super Mario 64 DS contain glitches that were fixed in later production runs. One of them is the Yoshi Squish Crash, caused by eating a Boo in water. The next time Yoshi attempts to lick, he will squish humorously, and the game will crash.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.
Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

If Yoshi becomes trapped between two very steep slopes in Super Mario World, Mario will inherit his facing direction. This results in Mario constantly looking left and right automatically, appearing to do a dance.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?
🚮

My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.
My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.
I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

Has some pretty nifty pseudo-3D in-rails shooter sections and a gorgeous theme tune composed by the Maniacs of Noise.

The biggest thing stopping Linux from taking over the consumer desktop market is that Linux is an operating system designed by and for people who know how computers work, and most of the people who use computers today do not. I'm not saying this to disparage anyone, it's just a fact.
