Thanks for letting all these nerds on HN know how important it was to maintain contact with a drug dealer and super hot girls when you were a hip teenager, I mean... i totally get it because I was also a really cool hip teenager. Did we just become best friends?

How reductive! I don't know what your qualms are with TikTok, but I can't imagine that decades of news media driven primarily by soundbites just as short as your average TikTok video can be seen as a superior "narrative delivery vehicle" ...unless you really place a premium on a corporate media bias influenced by pharmaceutical companies and the military industrial complex.

Snart:

When one sneezes and breaks wind at the same time. It is usually a result of the sudden abdominal muscle contractions associated with supporting the diaphragm for the sneeze, thus triggering the fart.
