how it feels playing Fortnite in 2023

It’s insanely impressive that there were no practical Clone Troopers in the entire Prequel Trilogy.

These shots from Revenge Of The Sith still hold up 20 years later, if I didn’t know they were all CGI, I honestly don’t know if I’d be able to actually figure it out.

a scene that caught you off guard in a movie

He should apologise and call it a human error.

here’s a random opinion I remember my granddad had and a fun story I tell almost everyone. 🧵🐵

to summarise, my grandfather thinks that more people should stand their ground and beat up monkeys…. yup

context: in the last half century my grandparents told us that they saw in real time the behavioural changes in monkeys in their area of Thailand.

how before monkeys used to be timid scaredy cats who will merely scream and charge at you as a test on their worst days (usually during the dry summer when food was scarce)

before tourism monkeys would learn that locals WILL whack them on the head, throw things at them and scare them away etc but now they test their luck bc tourists are easily intimidated.

this is why monkeys often attack tourists and they scout for backpacks/approach humans they think have food.

the reward is just way too high and the risk is low for them.

my grandad hypothesised decades ago that the solution isn’t to just stop giving them food (they are intelligent and will rob you)

he made a suggestion to his local council way back in the 80s for the government to deploy guards in tourist heavy areas whose job will be to scare and by extension control monkeys behaviour. call it human x monkey relations if you will

however, this “solution” might put tourists (especially children and the elderly) in more danger as over time the monkeys will be able to distinguish guards from regular tourists and go after the vulnerable groups.

so with that being said my fondest memory of my grandad was listening to his righteous and often comical stance on this super niche subject. I think he may have been autistic.

he would chuckle to himself while saying “you only need to punch them in the face once and they will be scared of you forever I promise”

when me and my brother were 2 and 6 my grandad took us to a national park to prove his theory.

We stopped in the middle of the road beside a large hill face. this exact area is famous for this one particularly massive troop of macaques.

there must’ve been 100 individuals there at least. it was the largest monkey troop I’d ever seen in my life.

my grandad got out of the car and walked up to a group of macaques with a bag of snacks filled with nuts and sweets.

almost immediately the standout largest male with fangs so long they looked like fingers approached him with aggression.

It was then I saw my little 76 year old grandfather punched an animal half his size in its face.

the monkey looked spooked and let out a huge screeched then fled into the dense forest as my grandfather turned around smiling proudly while 30+ onlooking tourists took photos.

My whole family was shook as the entire monkey troop fled and for the remainder of the trip non of the monkeys dared to approach our family and non were aggressive.

even when some individuals approached us for food (we were in our car) they would quickly run back into the dense forest at the sight of my grandfather.

For the rest of the trip my grandfather spoke proudly of his action and told everyone “see, I was right” and till this day I still die of laughter.

so if you get anything from this story it should be that monkeys are more scared of us than we are of them. if it comes down to it, you should probably punch one in the face.

what if the F1 car that Mercedes built for Brad Pitt Formula 1 movie have elements of upgrades they testing now on track in Silverstone to put on W14 or even W15 since none of this is is in the expense of Mercedes budget, CFD or wind tunnel time.

Arguably the greatest defender in the history of football rates him. He’s won Serie A and reached a UCL semi final but Gareth Southgate doesn’t believe he’s better than Harry Maguire, Tyrone Mings, Eric Dier and Connor Coady. Absolute joker

Your CB booted his cat across the kitchen but my manager celebrating in front of a 4th official makes him “the nastiest man in football.” Do me a favour

[Howard Beckett @HowardRBeckett]

Norway’s national investment in hydropower means 98% of their energy is renewable.

They then taxed the BP’s & Shell’s to create a sovereign wealth fund worth $1.4 trillion. 

That fund was then used to pay 80% of people’s energy bills above a capped price.

Be more like Norway.

The circuit has to be named Potholes

[Fastest Pitstop @FastestPitStop]

New proposals for a London Grand Prix have been revealed by planners who are in touch with Formula 1 and say that the first race could be held as early as 2026.

In the latest attempt to bring F1 to the capital, consultants working on the redevelopment of East London’s Royal Docks have included a 3.6 mile Montreal-style circuit into their plans. The 22-corner track is dominated by long straights and chicanes, with cars predicted to run alongside historic docks and City Airport at an average speed of 127mph.

The new proposals from design consultants Dar and the LDN collective are “F1 enabled” from the design stage, with elements that include a “linear park”, featuring decking that can be removed to reveal a race track below.

Floating grandstands are proposed for the waterfront and four stations on the DLR network would serve the circuit directly. Capacity for 95,000 is anticipated.

People seeking asylum in this country make up only 0.18% of the population.

If they do have recourse to public funds, it is £37.75 a week. That is just over £5 per day.

In one year, Suella Braverman claimed £159,000 in expenses. That is £435 a day.
