wendy's challenge: to hit more than 300 steps on the pedometer during the song;
🩵: ...😮💨 it's time to reveal the results, i haven't seen it yet.. getting over 300 on the pedometer.. i'm so nervous!!! (it's 749)... wow!! 🫢 no way! 750?? 😲 everyone, where did the ppl who were running earlier go? the ones saying ㅋㅋㅋ? (t/n: plenty said she'd fail, lol) it's a success! i don't think i've even run this much on stage before, i worked really hard... ahh i feel so good, 750!!!! 😄

target was 300 but wendy hit 750, so competitive lol 😆
she started off super enthusiastically (the way she was shaking, so funny 🤣), she got tired near the end, but she recovered so quickly n got her breathing back to normal in no time. amazing~ 🤩
this is kind of an amazing parable about scientific materialism. it speaks for itself but i'm going to autistically overanalyze it anyway, for fun -
the question pretends to ask about what a person would do in a social situation but it is actually asking for the "right answer," and the "right answer" involves looking at the situation "objectively," which means completely ignoring the relational texture of the little brother being upset in favor of an abstract argument (which the teacher's comments leave implicit) that he "shouldn't" be upset because the situation is "actually" "objectively" fair even if he doesn't feel that way
this is a very specific way of looking at the situation which school trains you to think of as universally correct, not even a choice that you're making, just the way things "really are." the kid's answer ignores all of this to interpret the question literally as written, maintain focus on the relational texture, and see the situation as a relational rupture they can repair through kindness. instead of teaching the little brother to prioritize abstract concepts over their feelings he teaches the little brother not only that kindness is real and that his family has his back but also that, since the older sibling finds it easy to give up their cornbread, perhaps the cornbread doesn't matter that much anyway
holy fuck, a hair dryer at a Paris airport broke Polymarket weather markets & made someone $34,000 richer
- polymarket was settling Paris temperature bets on a single Météo France sensor sitting near the Charles de Gaulle runway perimeter - basically unguarded
- the guy bought the long-shot outcome (like "22°C" when everyone expected 18°C) for pennies, since nobody thought it'd hit
- then he walked up to the probe and briefly heated the air around it with a portable heat source, spiking the reading just long enough to register as the daily max
- temperature snapped back to normal in minutes, the market resolved in his favor, and he cashed out - twice, on April 6 and April 15, before Météo France caught on and filed charges
hyperstitions.
