one thing that will also happen is this:
instead of making plushies in china and paying the worker $3/hr, it will be moved over to bangladesh where they can be paid $1/hr instead. price will still increase
how american think import tariffs work: since foreign plushie now more expensive we'll have a cottage plushie producing economy at home
how import tariffs actually work: the kid in bangladesh still makes 1 dollar per hour sewing your mass produced plushie, however you'll pay 24 dollars for it instead of 20 dollars. also your local yarn will cost 18 dollars instead of 10.
how the economy would work if the cottage core industry appeared: we found a new source of slave labour called "prisoners". they are sewing our All American™ plushies for 1 dollar per hour.

Easter egg for office workers: if you go onto Excel and press ctrl+right, then ctrl+down, you will reach cell XFD1048576. If you put a dot in there, then ctrl+A and fill every cell in black, you can then print 34 million black pages from your office printer and get fired

Why does OS kernels usually only have ciscalls and no transcalls?
Transphobia, that's why!
That said, Linux is open source. Give me an afternoon and I'll make the first OS with transcalls

secret tip for if you want to visit quebec without speaking french: just say sacre bleu over and over again until they explode
Much is made of the fact that Alberta has a dedicated animal-killing task force dedicated to keeping Alberta rat-free, but that's actually true of all of Canada's provinces, just with different animals.
For example, Ontario is free of hedgehogs, Manitoba has no ducks, and British Columbia mercilessly slaughters any horses that try to enter the province.

finally a keyboard that will kill you for making bad posts
Terrible keyboard suggestion: keyboard of the periodic table of elements
Oh yeah! I think I thought about this once? Like, you can only type elemental symbols?
But the trick was that I didn't have an easy way to make new keycaps for it. I could custom order them but that'd make the keyboard cost like 120$ and I can't afford that for a joke.
Maybe I'll find some blank keycaps and just print little labels for them. It'll feel like shit and won't last, but it'd work for the video.

It is actually way better for 100 addicts to get their fix on pain pills than a single person in pain go without. I call this the "Torture is bad" principle. You should be able to get the good stuff forever after a single doctor's visit. If you're worried about addicts fund rehab centers and needle exchanges instead of torturing people.
