If anyone watched the (fictional) show Scandal (ABC) there was actually a plot line that involved a kind of similar scenario to this.

Should "algorithm" start to be used as a verb? I just used it in the phrase "weird stuff that instagram algorithms me into watching." Using it as a verb, it means something like 'shows me because of its algorithm' and there's also a slight implication of trickery/manipulation there, even.

I only recently found out that brown eggs come in slightly different shades, even in the same carton. Whereas for white eggs, the color is more consistent. It's also sad to think about all the poor chickens that are dying due to bird flu.

I'm not sure if some feeds are working right and catching all the posts they should. In the mutuals feed, it looks like some posts are missing even though they appear on the person's profile page, and/or I saw them in my main timeline. And this is for original posts, not reposts.

Are there any stores that sell pringles in twin packs, or triple packs, or extra large tubes? I know the tubes are filled more efficiently compared to the empty space in bags of chips, but you can buy the larger party size bags of chips.

I'm going to assume that very few of my followers care about this, but if you want the limited-edition space oreos from last year to maybe be brought back, you can contact the company here and ask for it. www.oreo.com/contact

I feel self-conscious about spamming OP's replies with further tangents about this Yoko Ono "telephone piece" (I don't know if it has an official name?) so just continue replying here. I didn't think about how people might be self-conscious about answering - if it were me, of course I would answer.

I quite like this eyeball dress. It makes me wonder how difficult it might be to try and make a version of it myself. Possibly a shorter version so there's less embroidery to be done. www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-...
