DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

Also do NOT append "12ft.io/" before a URL ! Typing an URL like this https://12ft.io/<URL> will redirect to a site that would break the display of the page by removing the paywall !

Honestly it's kind of prohibited to mash CTRL+P before some paywall windows can load in to get a PDF of the article. Really shouldn't be done tbh very dangerous🤷🏿‍♂️ ❌️

Very bad, so danger, much wrong.....

And whatever you do never paste the article URL (without anything after the ?) into either https://web.archive.org or https://archive.ph. You definetly won’t find a snapshot of the webpage available without the paywall.

@plaguedocboi as our resident Marine Life Expert, is this true or false?

This is the Irukandji jellyfish, which has venom 100 times more potent than a cobra and sends 50-100 people to the hospital annually. It’s venom can cause fatal brain hemorrhages.

This is a viperfish. It only grows a foot long and can’t do shit to you.

So yes, I’d say it’s accurate.

Reading a book about slavery in the middle-ages, and as the author sorts through different source materials from different eras, I am starting to understand why so many completely fantastical accounts of "faraway lands" went without as much as a shrug. The world is such a weird place that you can either refuse to believe any of it or just go "yeah that might as well happen" and carry on with your day.

There was this 10th century arab traveller who wrote into an account that the fine trade furs come from a land where the night only lasts one hour in the summer and the sun doesn't rise at all in the winter, people use dogs to travel, and where children have white hair. I don't think I'd believe something like that either if I didn't live here.

LMAO Bruce is disgusted at the thought of getting magical powers to accomplish their mission, he will never stoop so low, don't be ridi-- Dick Grayson, two feet away, hand literally waving in the air: OOOH GIVE ME THE MAGICAL POWERS GIVE THEM TO ME I WILL TOTALLY TAKE THE MAGICAL POWERS Just. The conflict between: Bruce's refusal to ever accept magical powers because they're not his own, because he couldn't rely on them as part of what he'd created on his own, because he hates magic and the nonsense it brings with it VERSUS His gremlin child who has so many of the same skills as he does, has the same reasons to mistrust using magic as a crutch, who has learned all the same fighting and detective skills Batman has, who is Batman But Better, immediately going hell yes I will take the magical powers GIMME Is the funniest thing in the world. Bruce would scream into the void if he had the time to spare, how can everything he stand for be so betrayed by this kid that he loves so much?? WHY IS HE LIKE THIS??? AGONY.
