I mean I guess it's up to what you would call a "hit". if you mean that like they had a top 100 song on the charts yeah they weren't a 1 hit wonder because they had 3 songs in the top 100 with Whip It charting the highest and the longest. but if you only count like billboard top 10 hits they never had a hit song.

although by that criteria Jimi Hendrix is in the same boat although he had more songs in the top 100 he never had a top 10 hit.

freedom of choice was the tail end of devo's popularity and not the head of it. it's like if guns 'n' roses was only remembered for november rain

I don't think it counts if it's a nickname, since whoever gave him the nickname knew exactly what they were doing

At least half of the nicknames assigned throughout history came from people who knew what they were doing. The only rule to nicknames is that they have to be coined (or at least unwittingly proliferated) by someone else

See I don't agree with this necessarily because it reminds me of this

Yeah that's somebody talking about main names while pretending they're talking about nicknames, likely due to being transphobic but also being too craven to be open about it on Tumblr. I'm merely saying that pulling a George Costanza is weak - at the very least, it's a cringeworthy half-measure. Just double down and make it your main name, that's the real power move

Alright, now someone go and explain the rules to Joseph "Bum" Farto so we can find out if he gave himself the nickname.

quote:

> In the United States, practical research into using rabbit fever as a biological warfare agent took place in 1954 at Pine Bluff Arsenal, Arkansas, an extension of the Fort Detrick program.[47] It was viewed as an attractive agent because:

- it is easy to aerosolize
- it is highly infective; between 10 and 50 bacteria are sufficient to infect victims
- it is nonpersistent and easy to decontaminate (unlike anthrax)
- it is highly incapacitating to infected persons
- it has comparatively low lethality, which is useful where enemy soldiers are in proximity to noncombatants, e.g. civilians

They've actually looked into adding faces to Mt Rushmore before, but they determined that the rockface is too unstable. If they tried to add a face there's a good chance they'd just make the whole thing collapse.

Thankfully, not many people buy books about mushrooms nowadays. But there are plenty of apps that identify mushrooms and plants, and I imagine some people have eaten something poisonous because an app told them it was safe.

The next non-mushroom-based dish you eat might also be AI-generated.
