[up] And nobody has yet to tell this yahoo that if he wanted to prove that the Earth is flat, he wouldn't have to go through all the trouble of launching himself into orbit in some rickety piece of junk that makes every miserable failure of aerospatial engineering look outright flawless in comparison and quite likely getting himself killed in the process.

Getting on a plane and flying it across the world in the hopes of running into the edge of the world would actually prove the point with far less effort, if the Earth indeed was flat. But of course these morons have to attempt the most impractical and hazardous method. They're stupid enough to believe in that BS and dismiss science as a whole in the first place, after all.

A teen asked why he was detained. ‘Because you’re white,’ the cop said.

Edit: I found an even more WTF headline. Alex Jones Calls Las Vegas Massacre ‘Phony’ And ‘Part Of This Deal That Trump's Got With The Saudis'

The things you find when you're scrolling through yahoo's front page. Mfw.

Opossum breaks into Florida liquor store, gets drunk.

As if Florida man wasn't bad enough, now we have to start worrying about Florida wildlife too!

Self-driving Uber car kills Arizona woman crossing street.

This is how it starts. Today an Uber kills someone crossing the street. This time next year humanity will be hooked into The Matrix.

[up] From the article:

The San Francisco Chronicle late Monday reported that Tempe Police Chief Sylvia Moir said that from viewing videos taken from the vehicle “it’s very clear it would have been difficult to avoid this collision in any kind of mode (autonomous or human-driven) based on how she came from the shadows right into the roadway."

A goofy title for a fairly serious story. That's not random scientists panicking about AI possibly becoming self-aware, that's AI researchers condemning efforts to build autonomous weapons

[up] It's not even some weird one-off gimmick, either - the drink with a preserved human toe floating in it is an actual, permanent menu item. I'm not sure which is worse.
