2024 LC Thread #1 - Elder Fraud Advice

This is the “web 3 is going great” writer Molly White:

Wishing all the best to Bill Ackman, who I hope watches this video and learns a little something, also hope he’s enjoying some marital bliss with his wife who I’m sure is just thrilled that he drew attention to her past plagiarism and torpedoed her career.

That seems like it should be actionable? Amazon is just selling scam fire-fighting equipment now? And a proper kitchen fire extinguisher costs much less than $45!

oh btw these were a big disappointment, they weren’t bad, it’s just that there is the thinnest possible layer of peanut butter, it’s 99% chocolate.

“Deez Nutz” feels like such a 90’s joke, it’s weird to me that it’s being used to market to teens instead of whatever zany teen slang teens today use.

I feel like we’re going to see this a lot post the Katt Williams interview. It did really well and there are quite a few people nobody likes behind the scenes.

This person thinks that on top of (possibly more unreported?) plagiarism, Oxman’s dissertation was really really bad:

What number is missing in this sequence and why?

5 - 15 - 25 - ??? - 100

I saw this in a brain teaser app and even after seeing the solution I could not figure it out.

35, because it’s adding ten a bunch of times until it decides to arbitrarily change to 100

Out of curiosity, I looked this up and your answer is actually the answer. Which is just complete insanity and everyone involved with coming up with this “brain teaser” should feel bad.

That wasn’t the answer that particular app wanted.

The correct answer is 40. Apparently this isn’t a logic or math puzzle at all.

you have to move the rock to reveal the hidden number

I am so glad I didnt spend more than 5 minutes trying to figure this out from your initial post. That’s impressively stupid, and I generally like puzzles/brain teaser type stuff.

Interesting long read about the PWHL, which is trying to create a more equitable (for players) and sustainable women’s hockey league where previous efforts have badly failed:

It’s just rando?

Yea, the question is “what number is hidden” and you have just…unhide it by moving the rock. The other numbers are irrelevant.
