How would they know where you'll stop? Or when exactly you're going to look in the mirror? If you have to reverse out of your parking space you're approaching the car from behind, surely you'd spot it right then?

This same girl suddenly noticed the other day when she coincidentally looked out her kitchen window that this same almost 3-year-old had let herself out of the apartment and was playing in the street (and had been for who knows how long), and left a boxcutter lying out in reach and was just astonished when the kid got it and ended up getting cut, so while I hope for the best, I'm not really expecting it.
Tell her if she leaves boxcutters out the duct tape won't be doing much good.

Okay if you're gonna bring up German police as a shining example then you have to also mention that they also relatively recently shot and killed a naked mentally ill man with a knife in a public fountain.

Plus if we're talking about Bavarian police, the fact that the guy only got shot in the leg is probably more a question of bad aim than anything else.

Heads up: the MPI for Molecular Cell Biology in Germany found out that two substances that naturally occur in certain fruit and Greek yogurt can counteract Parkinson's. So get ready for that to hit the usual channels and get twisted into BEAT BIG PHARMA BY EATING FRUIT ON THE BOTTOM. At least it's not that far off the mark.

I want to make one of these, but instead of herbicide/insecticide/fungicide names, put the chemical names of the compounds inside the fruit itself, like so:
I honestly thought that's what it was and the poster didn't get the joke.

So clearly you have to make one with the compound list on the left and one on the right just saying "ingredients: apple"; same picture for both, just one mirrored and with the saturation turned up, and see where that pops up.

Without getting into the distinction between herbs and spices (spoiler: they done hosed up), how do you master one? Classes? Written tests? Do you have to climb a remote mountain in South America where a wizened old man calls you grasshopper and eats unimaginable amounts of cayenne?

I don't think any organization should cater to people who aren't capable of identifying satire and would take anything at face value unless it has convenient labels, but then I guess I never had Facebook locked down as a force for the furtherment of critical thought.

Although if it means we can one day get similar features for things like [FEARMONGERING BULLSHIT] and [FUNDAMENTALISM] I'm down.

I guess it's been a while since I've seen the show--maybe I missed the episode where Rei stops mid-fight with an angel so she can lecture Shinji on what pronouns she prefers and how he shouldn't make assumptions because that makes you cis-loving-scum.
It's been years since I've seen it but from what I do remember I can't say it would strike me as particularly out of place.

I'd say there's a clear and consistent correlation but to my knowledge ZZ Top have never forcibly converted anyone so it's not quite watertight.

As a non-New Yorker, I went once just to say I'd been there. Aside from the Israelite School of UPK reminding everyone that white men are born criminals and the heavenly smell of the M&M store, I found nothing worth ever revisiting. I got more out of five minutes in the village than an hour in Times Square.
I went to New York for a week's vacation and did the same on my first day, to get it out of the way. Then got dragged onto guided bus tours and had to walk to places where through Times Square was the most convenient route, and long story short, I went to Times Square five separate times within 36 hours and never want to again.

Even the tour guide said "it was better when there were drugs and porn."

Because they get saved and recompressed many, many times by people who don't understand how compression works. I think the biggest contributor is people who don't right-click and save as, but screenshot and crop. That way you compress the already compressed information further and over a few iterations it turns out ugly.
