SOMEONE BUILT WORDLE BUT FOR MINI GOLF AND IT IS QUIETLY BECOMING MY FAVORITE MORNING RITUAL

it's called https://t.co/uNM5Of4MOd.

you open the tab and there is one mini golf hole. that's the whole game. one new hole every midnight pacific. same hole for everyone in the world. your first finish counts.

you click the ball, drag back like a slingshot, let go. the further you pull, the harder you hit.

today's hole is called "Up and around." it's an S-shaped tropical island floating in dark teal water, with cross-barriers and one little wooden ramp that i ricocheted off three times in a row. par 6.

at the top of the screen, a live ticker scrolls past in real time:

> someone holed 6/6 · par

> someone holed 5/6 · birdie

> someone holed 11/6 · +5

real strangers are putting on the same hole as you. you can see the ghost rings of where their balls travelled, in cyan and purple and pink.

when you finish, you get a wordle-style share card. emoji result. takes one tap to drop into a group chat.

PC Gamer just wrote a whole love letter to it. the writer admits they scored a 20 on a par 12. they were thrilled.

the developer goes by https://t.co/0LJJsQnIeY. the 3D models are from Kenney, a guy who has been releasing free CC0 game assets for over a decade.

no signup. no account. no tracking. your streak lives in your browser. if you clear your cookies, the streak dies with them.

the about page says it in one sentence: "Same hole for everyone, new one at midnight Pacific, and your first finish is your score. That's the whole game."

we are 35 days into the project and the calendar archive lets you play every single previous hole.

i don't know why this is so satisfying. i just know i was supposed to be writing this post and i kept reopening the tab.

the internet is healing.

@BenCrellin @OfficialFPL give us the breakdown

[Mike @mikeiom86]

@Joelrocks4eva @BenCrellin Be interested to know the average rating of players per country. Isle of Man with only 85k population has strong players.

@jon33176 @ianyoungkop I would have him a chiesa's replacement. He is also home grown so doesn't take one of the non-homegrown spots. Squad is paper thin, we need bodies

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet. It infected 3.5 million people in 1986. Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page.

It is called Guinea worm. You drink contaminated water from a pond in a poor village. A year later, a worm up to three feet long starts coming out of your leg through a burning blister. There is no pill that stops it and no surgery that works. You wrap the worm around a stick and pull it out slowly, over days or weeks, inch by inch. If you rush, the worm breaks inside you and causes a fresh infection.

Guinea worm is ancient. Preserved worms have been pulled out of Egyptian mummies from around 1000 BCE. The Ebers Papyrus, an Egyptian medical scroll from 1550 BCE, describes pulling the worm out with a stick. For three and a half thousand years, that was the best humans could do.

Then in 1986, public health workers decided to kill the parasite off. They had no vaccine and no drug. What they had was cheap cloth water filters and a small army of volunteers willing to walk from village to village for decades.

The plan was simple. Give everyone who drinks from a pond a cloth filter to strain out the tiny water fleas that spread the parasite. Then send volunteers walking house to house, year after year, teaching people how to use the filters and keeping anyone with an emerging worm out of the water.

It worked. From 3.5 million cases a year to 10. Four were in Chad, four in Ethiopia, two in South Sudan. The other four countries where the worm used to be common, Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and Mali, had zero human cases for the second year in a row. The World Health Organization has already certified 200 countries as Guinea worm free. Six are left.

The last hurdle is dogs. Cameroon had 445 infected animals last year and Chad had 147, so a lot of the remaining work is on animals, not humans. Strays get leashed, and crews treat ponds to kill any remaining worms. The campaign keeps watching until the number hits zero.

When Guinea worm hits zero, it becomes the second human disease ever erased from the planet. The first was smallpox. It will also be the first parasite humans have ever wiped out, and the first disease ever ended without a single dose of medicine. Volunteers walked village to village with cloth filters for 40 years. Now a plague from the age of the pharaohs is about to be gone.

@Max12_11 @HitchenzPSG Second half atmosphere when we were on the front foot was a proper European night. First half was hit and miss and dead after the goal.
