Now I know that carnivorous sponges exist.

Tesla cars also have notoriously poor build quality, especially for the price; if you must buy an electric car, at this point, as far as I can tell, Hyundai cars are much better built. (Of course, we do need to remember that electric cars do not solve the problem of car dependency.)

In a large portion of games I've played, there is no mention of the main character's sexuality at all.

In summary, there is this belief in South Korea that if you leave an electric fan on in a closed room overnight, it can kill you, supposedly by asphyxiation or hypothermia. There is not really a basis for this theory in reality, and it seems that younger Koreans are less likely to believe this theory.

Now that I think about it more, perhaps my next Halloween costume should be a Grim Reaper costume with a fan on my face.

When you think about it, the idea of Pokémon saying their own name isn't actually that unrealistic: a lot of animals are named after the sound they make. Peewees, warblers, howler monkeys, kookaburras, hummingbirds, and I believe the ancient Egyptian word for "cat" is "mau".

There is a burger chain in Canada called The Burger's Priest, which is a religion-themed chain with several religious references on the walls. I only ever visited one when I did DoorDash and was picking up a customer's order, so I don't know how good they are.

Suit pants are nice, as are the shirts, but the jackets are frankly quite stupid. Plus, you have to take into account the fact that a well-fitted suit is only guaranteed to be well-fitted at the moment it comes from the tailor.

I think they make induction stoves specifically for woks, and even induction woks.

At least in my experience, sometimes, the kid may not actually have to carry that much stuff at all, and the reason they carry around such a heavy bag may be due to their own poor organization skills.

Are there any good mobile games out there?
