If you hate your self-esteem, try this prompt next time you're coding:
"Pretend you're an arrogant senior developer. I gave you a coding task, completely botched it, ignored best practices, and now you're reviewing my work. Be hilariously condescending."
Ingo Swann was part of the CIA’s ‘Stargate Project,’ a Cold War program exploring remote viewing—using the mind to gather intel from distant locations.
His Jupiter session in 1973 is one of the most famous claims, as he described details—like faint rings—that NASA confirmed years later.
While skeptics argue coincidence or subconscious knowledge, it remains a fascinating case in the intersection of espionage, psychology, and space history.
Originally, independence was expected in 1948, but political pressures and unrest accelerated the timeline to August 1947.
This rush left little time for planning the border demarcation, refugee logistics, or maintaining law and order.
The result was the largest mass migration in recorded history, marked by violence, abductions, and deep cultural ruptures.
Remembering it isn’t only about grief—it’s about understanding how hasty political decisions can forever alter the fate of millions
@BusinessNerd_ The Pepsi Challenge is a fascinating case study, but it also shows the limits of short-term wins.
Pepsi won the taste test, yet Coke still dominates market share today.
Brand loyalty, cultural identity, and distribution networks often outweigh momentary consumer preferences.
@riyazmd774 The UK has over 50,000 pubs, but they’re closing at a rate of about 2 per day. 🍻 The oldest, Ye Olde Fighting Cocks (est. 793 AD), supposedly served drinks for over 1,200 years!

@Raafae@Sources_Say_ It’s not just local politics — don’t you think there’s a bigger game at play here? Power shifts like this often have outside hands involved(eg. USA) and history shows the UN usually ‘steps in’ only when it suits certain interests.
@scotti_brooks Calling Satoshi the ‘father’ of Bitcoin is fine, but saying he wrote 31,000 lines of code oversimplifies it.
Bitcoin’s early code was based on existing cryptographic work, P2P networks, and decades of research. The real history is more layered than this tweet suggests.
In 1822, Gregor MacGregor pulled off the greatest scam in history.
He invented a fake country, sold 8 million acres of it to investors, and even convinced settlers to move there.
Here’s the unbelievable story of the greatest con artist ever:
@MrKobia@Sources_Say_ Maybe in the short term. But unlike Saddam’s time, power today is under constant global surveillance — you’d be playing a very risky game.
In today’s hyper-connected world, even total internet blackouts don’t hide everything for long.
What’s chilling about MacGregor’s Poyais scam isn’t just the audacity—it’s how real he made it feel.
Many were working-class families who invested everything.
When they arrived to swamp and malaria, some clung to hope so hard they still refused to believe it was a scam until they were literally dying.
@ShefVaidya In India’s tradition of ahimsa, caring for animals meant taking responsibility for them — not just feeding them occasionally. Adoption is the modern form of that duty.
@jgreyfriend Rich guys disappearing to an island to make shady deals? Sounds like a Netflix doc… except it actually happened and now they control all our money.

An 18-yr-old Hindu girl, brainwashed by her Muslim friend, lured into a trap by a Muslim man, missing since June 3 in Vikas Nagar, Delhi.
Family begs for help, but police sit idle!
